Interviewing Casey.

A reporter Of a New York daily once
went to the office of the late General
Casey to get some information concern
ing the I.ydecker tunnel story. General
Casey looked at the young man rather
sternly at first. and the reporter ex-
pccted but scant detail to follow.
"C0me In, sir: he exclaimed, In a
tone of almost unpleasant command.
The two doors Of his office were open.
The reporter was standing. The gen.
eral, without word, went to one
door and closed II with the utmost pre-
cislon; then he went to the other door
and closed 1t with the same precision
The reporter was In doubt. The two
were in the room alone. Coming NJ
to the newspaper man. he pointed his
index finger straight at his eye, and
said: "Sit down there, young man
and I'll tell you the st story you
ever heard" And he did.

A scotch Congregation.

Listen to Scottish congregation
singing ''French," or "St. Kilda." and
you have heard struck the keynote OF
Scottish religion. The soft. melodious
roll of the organ Is not there. nor the
painfully accurate notes of the strictly
high-clase choir. yet there is sublim-
ity and q grandeur in those old Psalm
tunes of Scotland that breathe of the
mountain and the sea. They are % part
of Scotland's heritage of the best that
the past can give-not the best beca use
of the artistic arrangement of notes
and symphonies. but best because of
the inspiring soul of music that floats
with every paean through the peaceful
village church. There Is vein Of sad.
NESS in them. too. through which love
strikes on the harp of song chord Of
glorious beauty. They are the soul
Of the lands religion-a religion that
might he described as Calvinisin. plus q
generous amount of human sympathy.
With the rising genera ton. however. a
marked change Is visible.
As Calvinism passes away. the hu.
man and moral elements seem to In.
crease. Even clergymen bear testi.
mony that "while literature Of any.
thing but a religious character forms
the bulk Of Sabbath reading. yet II was
generally admitted that there was less
swearing and rowdy language In Use
than formerly. and fewer nasty habits
In the field or farmyard." -westminste,

The ARC of Niagara.

Now that they have harnesscd the
Falls OF Niagara to oil kinds Of fac
tories. a scientific gentleman has been
calculating how long the river and fa-
nous sheet Of water will last. There
IL. 1t seems, no cause for immediate
anxiety. In the first place, no has
found out that the River Niagara 10
only thirty-two thousand year, old,
and the Falls are thousand years
younger. Surprising, secondly. thar tho
destructive action Of tina water goes
on at Its present rate, there IL reason
TO fear that In another five thousand
years the falls of Niagara will have
ceased to exist. When someone ob.
jccted to the proposed Withdrawal OF
the water from the beautiful Falls Of
Foyers In Inverness-shire, IN ingeni.
Gus person replied that the Fails would
remain, only there would BE- no water,
The reverse will be the ease ar Mag
ara. There will be plenty of water
but no rocks for It to fall over.

sScstroyiug Friction.

After calling attention TO the fact that
man was content with the use OF oil to
deep machinery In running order until
he began to ride the bicycle, when he
siema nded some better labOr.saver and
invented bali-bearings, the Scientific
American proceeds to illustrate and de-
scribe some recent applications OF such
bearings. They are employed for wag-
on and carriage wheels, for the carrier
wheels OF cable roads, and for the
shafts of swlft-runnlng machinery.
They practically dispense with the use
of the oil can and greatly reduce the
amount OF friction 10 be overcome, thus
adding to the effective power Of all ma
chimes in which they are used. The
singular fact IL noted that Prof. Boys,
of London. showed eXperlmentally that
hall bearings, when properly construct
ell, are practically proof aginst wear.
He demonstrated this fact by weighing
the balls OF bicycle-bearlng when they
were new, and again after they had
been subjected 10 long service. They
showed no loss Of weight.
