AN INTERVIEW.

Such as Will BE Incidental to Future PO-
iiticaI Campaigns.
ITO what am indebted for the honor
of this call?"
1t was Mrs. Mary Ellen Ricketts, who
Spoke. She held in her hand the card
of Mrs. Samantha Jenkinson, which
had just been laid on the desk by the
office girl, for the card was followed al
most instantly by the entrance of the
person whose name it bore.
There was really no necessity for the
use of the card for the two had fire.

: Mrs. Ricketts, was the candidate for
congress on tie republican ticket, while
Mrs. Jenlinson was the democratic
nominee. Under the circumstances it
was natural for her to be surprised at
received call from her opponent.

Il have learned from good authority
that your managers are bent upon a

The Chambermaid,s Tins.

A pleasing story is told by the crown
prince of Germany, who, with his
brother, was recently with their tutor
at the hotel of the Chutes du Rhin.
When the tutor paid the bill he offered
a money present to the chambermaid,
who, however, refused the gift, point
ing to a notice that tips were forbidden.
The tutor explained the situation to the
eldest pupil, who thereupon went out
with his brother and bought a very
pretty brooch. This he gave to the
maid, saying that, ''as it was not money,
she could not refuse it." AS the young
princes were staying at the hotel in
cognito the maid did not know that
the donor of the brooch will probably
be emperor of Germany some day.

Thread from CRYSTALS.

The making of the famous quartz
fibres invented by Prof. c. v. Boys sew
eral years ago, is a very curious process.
Quartz crystals, which many a country
boy living in regions where they are
found, has fancied to be diamonds, are
melted with a blowpipe and drawn out
into thread with the aid of an arrow.
One crystal is fastened to the arrow
while another is fixed in the flame. The
two are fused together, and at the prop
er moment the arrow is released and
darts away into fixed target, drawing
the melted quartz into Il thread the
length and size of which can easily be
regulated. The threads are very tough,
strong and elastic. They can be made
so fine as to be invisible not only to the
naked eye, but even with microscope.
They IRE used in Instruments where a
completely elastic iiiame,.t :s required.

. MODERN NAVAL GUNS.
Their Power Well Illustrated the Reao
ton of One of Them.

Their Power Well Illustrated the Reao.
ton of One of Them.
Some time ago the English govern
ment experimental with a 13-inch
gun on ship of the Royal Sover-
e.gn class. At the first firing of the
gun the entire upper deck was lifted
from its position and sprung along it's
entire center, so great was the shock.
The United States :oattleship Indiana
has been specially equipped to provide
against any such disaster and her
decks have been constructed in such
manner that naval experts agree that
no such damage can befall her when
the 13-inch guns send out their flaming
message.
Naval experts arc agreed, however,
says the Philadelphia Times, that
when she is IN action and the four 49,
inch guns are performing their deadly
work the explosions will shatter every
piece of woodwork and glass in every
portion of the vessel. That is expected
and prepared for, and for that reason
the battleship Indiana is composed al
most entirely of iron and steel. She
has been aptly described as an enor-
nous floating steel fort with ship
built around it for purposes of naviga-
ton. Fully one-half of her could be
shot away and she would still float and
retain her unequaled fighting power.
These facts and figures should bring
us to realization of what a serious
thing war is in these modern times.

cases to mimicry, or protective resem-
blance. In shape and size, says Good
Words, some are fattened, globular
masses of small size, others are great
tree-lil<e growths, several feet round;
others wide, deep cups, and others lit
tie lacework tubes of the finest spun
glass. Some are tough and horny, and
live in shallow, and, therefore, rough
water, and need a strong skeletal frame
work; others are delicate and brittle,
and only flourish in the quiet depths OF
the sea. The horny sponge, as the
sponges of commerce are called, from
their tough, horny skeleton, which we
know so well flourish in the greatest
abundar ce in water from 80 to 40
fathoms in depth.
The delicate silicious sponges. how
ever, which would be utterly smashed
to pieces in this rough water, are only
found far below this. Along the coasts
of Portugal and Brazil beautiful speci-
mems were found by the Challenger,
fiourishing in great abundance at the
depth of 100 fathoms, and from that
down to 1000 fathoms, or between two
and three miles beneath the sea level.

bedded in the soft mud which covers the
bottom of the sea. The greatest num-
Der OF sponges, however, grow in water
