PROPHECIES WHICH FAILED.


Short Sighted Fallacies of Some ofthe Worlds
Great Men.
In these times of cheap vaticin ation
and short dated prophecies II may moi
be amiss to cast Retrospective glance
on few Of the most monumental mis-.
takes ever achieved in this line. Here
are few of these famous contributions
to the history of human error, says the
st. James Gazette:
Aristotle said that slavery would last
forever, or would cease only when the
shuttle would weave of its own accord.
A double mistake is this. for slavery ia
all but abolished, and, thanks to in.
vention, the shuttle may be said to
work Of its own accord.

the first decade of this country. We
are nearing now it's fag end, but ''old
Yurrup" is less republican than ever
and is still some way from universal
Cossackery.

out N. Theirs, leading chorus Of sen.

eve Of the very revolution which sent
him into exile and promulgated uni.

those asking after Montana when Rome
would become the capital of Italy. A
very short time after the trick was

THE United States of Europe" was
the prophecy Of all ardent democrats
from Victor Hugo Carlo Cattaneo, and
its ful6llment was to take place imme-
diately after the downfall of the Ma.
poleonic empire. 1t is twenty five years
now since the eventful moment, but
the states of Europe are, If anything,
more disunited and more aggressive
than ever.
Perhaps the ancients, who knew a
thing or two, were right in saying that
the future is on the lap of the gods.

1T is very sad, the lawyer said /:

me to do about it,"
"All that I desire from you for the
present is information. I have heard
of breach of promise cases where the

A Cold Place

In the polar regions DR.. Moss found
that at temperature Of 35 degrees G.
acandle would not burn regularly,
for the wax would not melt, being
cooled at once by the surrounding air.
The flame then burned feebly, and
sank down into kind Of tubular hol-
low; and boring holes into this the
flame sank down 80 as to leave a tubu.
tar shell, which was actually not
melted by the fame. The continuous
current OF very cold air induced by the
flame was not heated sufficiently to en-
able 1t to melt the wax above the flame.

The modern burglar is scientist

by more convenient labor saving tools.
In Marseilles the other day q gang Of
ingenious oracksmen entered 9 banker's
Office armed with steel saw Of the
newest construction and . handy little
gas engine. There,was no need for the
exercise of muscle, nor was there any
necessity for good strong wrist at
the saw, as there was at one time in
the annals Of famous robberies.
The little engine was started, the saw
put in the proper place and the con-
nections made. Seating themselves
serenely upon a couple OF chairs near
at hand these modern burglars watched
the true and rapid work of their ap-
pliances.
The big safe might have resisted for
hours the force'of human hands, but the
saw, impelled by the engine, II could
not stand against. The stout iron safe
promptly yielded up its contents OF
over $4,000 worth of gold and bonds,

have taken to have committed the rob.

began to sniff for the potatoes. But,
finding none. he seemed somewhat
puzzled.
Somehow 1t dawned on him that he
was still in the home field, and he con.
cluded that he had not gone through

more, but only to find himself again
in the home field.
This seemed to puzzle him more than
ever, He looked around in astonish

stopped, and was evidently thinking

himself in the home field.
This time, I am sure, il he could

Never shoot stones on the road aud

for all slight repairs.
Recollect that hard stones should be
broken to finer gauge than soft, but
that the two inch gauge is the largest

stances where no steam roller is used.
Never be without your ring gauge:
remember Macadam's advice, that any

Never allow dust or mud to lie on the

Recollect that dust becomes mud at

Remember that the middle Of the
