Legend Of solO,non,s Rine.

The Talmud tells some curious old
legends about Solomon. One is that he
had a ring on the possession of which
depended the keeping of his kingdom.
Once Solomon went into the bath and
left his precious ring on a shelf, when
a concubine of his, Amina, stole the
ring and the iend, Sakhar, fiattered
Amina and wheedled her out of the
ring, and Sakhar took the form of King
Solomon and ruled in his stead. Poor
Solomon was put to it to regain his
power, but he raised such a first-class
incarnation that Sakhar got afraid and
threw the ring into the sea and a fish
swallowed it, and fishermen caught the
fish and found the ring. 1t was re-
stored to Solomon, and with it he recov-
cred his kingdom.

CHILD INVENTORS.

history OF the First Telescope and he
Argand Burner.
That many children have great in
enuity Of mind in f~ashioning toys of
arious kinds is well known. That
hey have very frequently turned this
uality to good use in the invention and
obstruction Of some of our most use
I'M mechanical appliances is attestcd by
he following instances:
The children of a Dutch spectacle
maker happened to be playing n day
Nth some of their fathers glasses in
'front.' of the shop door. Placing two
f the glasses together they peeped
through them, and were exceedingly
stonished to see the weather cock of
be neighboring steeple brought within
short distance of their eyes. They
vere naturally puzzled, and called their
ather to see the strange sight.
When the spectacle maker looked
through the glasses he was no less sur
brised than the children had been. He
vent indoors and thought the matter
pver, and then the idea occurred to. him
hat he might construct a curious new
10y which would give people a good deal
bf amusement. Not long after the tele-
scope was IN accomplished fact.
A poor Swiss, named Argand, in
vented a lamp with a wick fitted into
, hollow cylinder, thus giving a supply
pf oxygen to the interior as well as the
exterior of the circular fame. At first
Argand used the lamp without a glass
chimney, the invention of which i'm
.pOrtant adjunct would doubtless have
been delayed for some time had it not
been for the thoughtless experiments Of
his little brother.
One day when Argand was busy in his
workroom, and sitting before the burn
ing lamp, this boy was amusing him
self by placing a bottomless oil flask
over different articles. Suddenly he
it upon the flame of the lamp,
which instantly shot up the long
circular neck of the flask with increased
'brilliancy. Argand did not allow such
q suggestive occurrence to escape him.
The idea of the lamp chimney almost
Immediately came into his head, and
In q short time his invention was per-
fecfed.

AIwaYs Gets the Wnrm.

A very strange animal. related to the
lemurs, and peculiar to Madagascar,
is the aye-aye. It feeds on wood-boring
grubs that tunnel into the bark OF
trees. The beast cuts away the outer
bark with its chisel-like teeth, and as
the worn retreats to the end of its
hole pokes after it with a finger. This
finger is a remarkable organ, evidently
provided by nature for this purpose, be-
ing abnormally long and armed with
a hook-shaped claw for dragging out
the grub.

HIS NEW MANAGER CONFIDENT
OF SUCCESS.
Richard Manshed's next season, under the man.
agement OF Daniel Frohman, is to begin at Omaha
on September There Is to be fair at the same
time and large business is expected. The produc-
ton Of Richard Ill.," which Is contemplated Tor
time next season. will probably not be ready
at that time, but some other Shakespearan play
will take the place OF Utmost likely The Merchant
OF Venice"
Mr.. Frohmans arrangement with Mr.. Mansfield
is for two years. with privilege on Mr. Frohmans
part of renewal for two years more he guaran-
tees Mr.. Mansfield large sum for each season,
though 1t Is not exactly the sum that has been
mentioned in recent dispatches The plays to be
employed are to be agreed upon between the actor
and manager, but Mr. Mansfield Is TO have nothing
to do with business affairs The company VIII be
engaged by Mr. Frohman who will probably retain
several Of the actors who are now supporting Mr.
Mansfield. II they wish to remain with him under
the new arrangement. -.
Mr. Frohman Is extremely confident about the
success Of the whole plan His chief doubt Is about
getting plays that will please New-York MT
Mansfield always does a large business outside this
city, and he Is equally successful here when he Is
fortunate enough to hit the right play, II good
plays for Ncw-York can be provided Mr.. Fronman
believes that there is nothing to fear.
