Sir Robert Ball spcoulates Upon the Po
sibilitfes OF Such Experience.

Sir Robert Ball Spoculatos Upon the Pos
sibilities OF Such Experience.
Conceive that traveller were endow-
ed with some means Of soaring aloft for
miles and thousands of miles, still up
and up, until at length he had attained
the awful height Of nearly $50, 600
miles above the ground, suggests Sir
Robert Ball in his STORY Of the Heav-
ens.' Glancing down at the surface of
that earth, which is at such a stupen-
dous depth beneath, he would be able to
see a wonderful birdseye view.
He would lose, no doubt, the details
of towns and villages. The features in
such landscape would be whole conti-
ncnts and whole oceans, in so far as the
openings between the clouds would per-
init the earth's surface to be exposed
At this stupendous elevation he could
try one of the most interesting expert
ments that was ever In the power OF a
philosopher. He could test whether the
earth's attraction was felt at such a
height, and he could measure the
amount of that attraction. Take for the
experiment a cork, marble, or any
other object, large or small Hold 1t be-
tween the fingers and let go. Every one
knows what would happen in such a
case down here, but it required Sir
Isaac Newton to tell what would hap
pen in such case up there. Newton as
serts that the power Of the earth to at
tract bodies extends even to this great
height, ard that the marble will fall
This is the doctrine that we can now
test.
We are ready for the experiment
The marble is released, and 10! our
first exclamation is one of wonder. In
stead of dropping instantly, the little
object appears to remain suspended.
We are on the point Of exclaiming that
we must have gone beyond the earth s
attraction, and that Newton is wrong,
when our attention is arrested. The
marble is beginning to move, so slowly
that Mt first we have to watch it closely.
But the pace gradually improves, SO
that the attraction is beyond ali doubt,
until gradually acquiring more and
more velocity the marble speeds on its
long journey of ESQ, COO miles to the
earth.

Tan spots Over Dogs Eyes.

These spots are believed to afford an
example Of protective markings perpet-
mated by natural selection. They seem
to have been acquired q. a comparative
ly recent period, when the dog had be-
come semjdomesticatcd. The original
dog was red and cid not possess these
spots. When he slept. be hid himself
from possible enemies, but this the
semidomcsticated dog could rot always
do. Now, when the color changed by
domestication and selected breeding.
and dogs became pied and black, those
which had spots over their eyes would
look when asleep rs though their eyes
were open and still OH watch. There
fore their enemies would be deceived,
and they would be less liable to be kill
ed during sleep than dogs which had
no such spots. Thus they survived and
transmitted their popularity to their
offspring. These spots are supposed to
be the most, If not the only. perma-

Primarily the consul should be a gen.

amenities and graces of good society.
The next and absolutely necessary re-
quirement should be an intelligent

The Only Nry.

Mr.. William Spark III his Musical
Memoirs" tells story Of the famous
Wesley which was related TO him by
Mr. Bishop, the London organ builder.
Wesley was great extemporaneous
fugue player, and on the occasion to
which Mr.. Bishop referred had been
asked to show off o new organ by play
ing voluntary at the afternoon service
previous to the reading Of the first les
son. Before going to the organ he asked
the vicar. who was an amateur organ
ist, how long the voluntary should last.
"Oh," replied the vicar, ''please
yourself. Mr.. Wesley. Say five or ten
minutes, but we should like to hear as
much of the different stops as you can
oblige US with"
When the time came, after a few pre-
hn,inary chords, Wesley started a fugal
subject, which he worked cut in mas
terly way i'll about 4 quarter of an hour
and the vicar was about to commence
reading the lesson when the ineXhausti-
bic organist started second subject,
and this he developed in the same alb.

made the next best showing to
Thomas i. Reed in the house repub-
iican caucus, receiving thirty nine
votes on the first ballot and thirty
six on the second, when Reed re-
ceived eighty-six votes, three more
than were necessary. Speaker Reed
without hesitation named Major Nc
kinley as chairman of the committee
on ways and mssns, and thus gave
him the opportunity of his lifetime.
He early took an interest in tariff
Legislation and became protection
advocate. gradually gaining promi-
nence, until as chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions OF the national
convention of 1888, he framed the
tariff plank of that year
Thrown out of the house by the
democratic "gerrymarder' of 1890,
Major Mckinley at once became an
aspirant for the governor ship of
Ohio. He was made the republican
candidate in 1891, and had for his
democratic opponent James e. Camp
bell, who had been elected governor
in 1889 by. 1O.S72 plurality. Major
Mckinley redeemed the state, de.
feating Campbell by 21,511 plurality.
In 1898 Major Mckinley was re-
nominated for the governorship, and
was again elected by the overwhelm
ing plurality of S0,995, His demo-
cra,ic-opponent was Lawrence T
Neal, the author of the free trade
plank which the democratic national
convention of 1892 substituted for
the one reported by the committee
on resolutions, and which had Writ
ually been framed by MIR. Cleveland
himself
In 1898 when Major Mckinley
suffered some serious financial rever-
SCI through over-tide'ity in the inter-
est of friend, Mrs. Mckinley took
quite a noble stand. An Ohio banker
named Walker, for whom MIR. Nc
kinley had endorsed notes, suddenly
failed. From boyhood the two men
had been the closest personal friends.
When Mr Walker requested MIR. Me-
kinley to endorse for him, Mr.. Nc.
Kinley gave his signature without
making any investigation. Mr.. Nc
kinley continued placing bis sigma
