stevenson,s Birthday Gift.

The following charming story is
told of the late Robert Louis Steven
son. He was visiting friend, after
ward consul to Samoa, in northern
Vermont. This gentleman had a lit
tie daughter about i years old, who
very speedily became devoted
friend of the novelist. In pouring
forth her joys and SORROWS in exist
ence she contided to Mr.. Stevenson
the woeful fact that she was born on
Feb. 90, and therefore had enjoyed
only two birthdays in all her II
years. The poet sympathized not
only in comforting words, but also
in action. He meditated few mo-
ments, then went to her writing
desk and drew up the following doc
ument: II, Robert Louis Stevenson,
in sound state of mind and body,
having arrived at that age when I
no longer have any use for birth
days, do give and bequeath my
birthday, the 18th of November, to
Miss Adelaide Ide, to be hers from
this year as long as she wishes it.
Robert Louis Stevenson. The little
girls delight at this rare and most
welcome gift has shown itself regu-
lalry once a year for several years
past, and since the novelist's death
the anniversaI is doubly treasured.

Atomic onions.

AS chemists studied the actions of va
rious kinds of atoms in regard to their
unions with one another to form mole
cules it gradually dawned upon them
that not all elements are satisfied with
the same number of companions. Some
elements ask only one and refuse to take
more, while others link themselves
when occasion offers with two, three,
four or more. Thus we saw that oXy-
gen forsook single atom of its OWL
kind and linked itself with two atoms
of hydrogen, Clearly, then, the oxygen
atom, like creature with two hands,
is able to clutch two other atoms, but
we have no proof that under any cir
cumstances it could hold more than two.
Its ,ti1inities seem satisfied when it has
two bonds; but, on the other hand, the
