HOURS. Il
THE FAMOUS FRENCH SCIENTIST
Elisee Reclus, the GeOgrapher, the
Originator of the Daring
Scheme.

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Elisee Reclus,
the eminent geographer and scientist,
has just given to the world a brand
new project which is rather interesting.
Mr.. Reclus claims Paris as his home,
but just now he is abroad at the urgent
request of the French government, for
besides being scientist he is an an
archist Of the most pronounced type.
1t was because Of his activity in this
latter line that he was sentenced, two
years ago. to twenty years imprison-
ment. Owing to the fact that M. Re-
clus was absent at the time of the pass
Ing Of this sentence he is not now in
prison.
His latest scheme shows that science
and not anarchy, is uppermost in his
mind. His idea Is to have constructed
in some great city Of the world a gigan-
tic spheroid that shall be an exact imi-
tation of the earth in relative proper
lions as well as form. This, he says,
would be an imposing and permanent
object lesson and would give students
and spectators as well an accurate idea
of the typographical and geodetic fea-
lures of the planet on which we live.
Mr.. Reclus has worked out the de-
tails Of his scheme and could supply
much of the data necessary to carry it
out. He proposes to build globe
which shall be exactly one one-hun-

Remarkable Echoes.

London Household Words.
One Of the most remarkable echoes known
is that on the north side of Shipley church, in
sussex, which distinctly repeats twenty-one
syllabies. In the Abbey church, Saint Adams,
there is curious echo-the tick of watch
may be heard from one end of the church to
the other. In Gloucester cathedral a gallery
Oh an octagonal form conveys whisper across
the nave, seventy-f1ve feet. In this gallery is
the following inscription:
Doubt not but God, who sits on high,
Thy inmost secret prayers can hear,
When dead wall thus cunningly
Conveys soft whispers to the ear"
In the cathedral of Gergenti, in Cicily the
slightest whisper is borne with perfect dis
thickness from the great western door to the
cornice behind the altar, a distance of $50
feet. In the whispering gallery of st. PauPs
the faintest sound Is faithfully conveyed from
one side to the other of the dome. but is not
heard at any intermediate point. In the Man
front palace, at Venice, is a square room
about twenty-five feet high, with concave
roof. In which person standing in the CEN
ter and stamping gently with his foot on the
floor hears the sound repeated a great many
times; but, as his position deviates from the
center, the reflected sounds grow fainter,
and, at a short distance, wholly cease.
The same phenomenon occurs in the large
room Of the library of the museum at Naples.

cATARRH SYMPTOMS
As Described by DR.. Hartman In n
Recent Lecture.

Recent Lecture
The symptoms vary according to
the place where the catarrh Is located.
Catarrh in the head-nose stopped up;
pain in forehead; scabs in nose, bad
breath: snoring; sneezing; watery eyes.
Catarrh Of the throat-voice husky or
hoarse; tickling in throat; hawking;
splitting up; sore throat and enlarged
tons1ls. Catarrh Of the stomach-indi-
geSt1on; tongue coated; water brash !;
rullness after eating; hawking and
splitting after meals dizziness and ir-
regular appetite. Catarrh Of the bron-
chlal tubes-cough; pain in chest; grad
ual loss Of flesh, cough worse night
ana morning; tightness in upper por-
lon OF chest; and sometimes night
sweats. This form of catarh will
soon end in consumption if not cured -
Ut. hartman used Pe-ru-na in over
thirty thousand cases before it was In
troouced to the general public as a
catarrh remedy. Pe-ru-na as a remedy
ior chronic catarrh, whether in the head,
nose, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys
OF pladder, has become known all over
the civilized portions of North Amer
lea. The reasons for which Pe-ru-na
has taken the lead Of all other catarrh
remedies are: First, it never fails to
cure when properly used; second. it
permanently cures instead of giving
temporary relief; third, it cures chron-
1c catarrh wherever located; fourth, it
is composed entirely of vegetable prod
ucts, and is perfectly harmless; fifth,

And the fun and noise,

Who have worked and planned,
Till tonight we stand

Hurrah for the carnival! hip, hurrahl
For the ice kings float,
Like fairy boat,
For the guards who wait,
Round his chair of state;
noble scorn
On the night winds borne
AS the trumpets blow,
Through the frost and snow
Defiance loud to their fiery foe.
Hurrah for the carnival hip, hurrahi
For the fire-king bold,
Who (as I've been told)
Has ventured down
From our sister town
To subdue the pride
That his power defed,
And the victory won,
On swift home run,
Send the king Of the Land Of the Midnight
Sum-"
Hurrah for the carnival! Softly, now,
For the liquid flow,
Mid the ice and snow,
For the glasses clink
AS the children drink,
For the staggering feet
That their mothers meet,
For the lawless greed that gives souls for
gold.
