THE RICHEST MANS WIFE.

OF the wife of Ii Hung Chang, a
millionaire of millionaires, writer in
Pearson's Weekly says: Marchioness Lii
is very beautiful, and, compared with
her fellow countrywomen, an exceed
ingly learned lady. Her age is more
possibly great deal-than so, yet she
looks 80, or even less.
The wife of the richest man in the
world she spends royalty, although not
without keeping detailed account Of
her expenses. In her magnificent home
on the banks of the Pei-Ho she lives in
great splendor, surrounded by song
birds, peacocks, aquaria, pottery, gems
and botanical collections. One thou
sand attendants and servants answer
her beck aud call. In her wardrobe are
1000 coats, 1000 pairs of 'trouseretes"
and 500 fur robes. made from the finest
skins. Her feet have been compressed
until they are quite inefficient for the
original purpose, and the marchioness
is unable to walk more than a few
yards ut a time. Twice day she
bathes in oil of orange and acacia
blooms and afterwards takes an string in
the coolle sedan. Finally she dresses
her hair i'll fifty ways, each more mi
raculous and a more perfect example Of

DEATH IN A GLACIER CREVICE.
The particulars of the tragic death of
a Seattle prospector named Edward
Kennah in the crevice of glacier in
the Cook Inlet country were brought to
Port Townsend on Sunday by the
steamer Willapa from Alaska. At the
bottom of an ice crack eighty feet be-
low the surface, solidly jammed be.
tween two walls of ice, Kennah talked
to companions above for one hour and
ten minutes when his voice was chilled
by death.
A party of nine pospectors were
walking abreast across a glacier near
Twenty mile creek, at the head of
Turn.again Arm, on the Fourth of July.
A thin sheet of ice hid from view a
crack about three feet in width; the
party approached diagonally, the end
man carrying gun across both shoul-
ers, when he and the next in line, Ken
nab, suddenly slipped through the thin
ice and disappeared in the chasm be-
low. Their wild cries barely prevented
some of the others meeting with
similar fate. The gun fell crossways
four or five feet below the surface,
aud enabled one of the men to be res.
cued But the other prospector, Ken
nah, fell over seventy feet, and was
tightly jammed between the diverging
walls of ice. His voice could be dis
tinctly heard as he directed the move.
ments of his would.be rescuers in their
iruitless efforts to raise him out of the
coffin of i ce. Blankets were torn up
and tied into long strands, Kennab
fastened one end around his body, but
the force Of the fall had jammed him
so tightly between the frozen perpen-
dicular walls of ice, and the chill so
benumbed his body and exhausted his
vitality that the combined efforts of his
partners could not raise him from the
frozen tomb.
Gradually his voice became weaker
and more indistinct, his efforts for self
preservation grew feebler, and one
hour and ten minutes from the time
the accident occurred the last faint
sound from below was heard.
Kenneh was an elderly man, and be-
longed in Seattle, where heis said to
have a sou employed in the postoffice.

WHEN DAYS WILL BE LONG.-Do
you know that the day, which is now
only twent-yfour hours long, is slowly
increasing in length, and that it will
eventually be twenty-five, twenty y.six,
or even 100 hours in length? This
statement, strange as it may sound to
one who has not read the results
of observations made on that score, is
believed to be true in every respect.
Not only will the esrth's motion slow
up until the day will be one, two and
three times as it is at present, but
this pace-slaokening process will in
crease with time, until the day will
eventually be week or even a month
in length. The "retarding medium" F."
which the astronomers speak of as be-
ing the cause of this phenomenon, is
not fully understood at present.
Sir Robert Ball says that it is the
friction of the tides which is response
BILE for the most of it. He urges that
the time will come when the day will
be full year in length Others among
the investigators along this line declare
that it will be absolutely impossible for
this day-lengthening process to increase
beyond one lunar month.
