The run annrl, nnrs.s

There are two dark days" mem
toned in the annals of New England.
The first occurred on Oct 21, 1716.
when it suddenly became so dark soon
after noon that the people were forced
to use artificial lights TO do their ordi-
nary work. This strange condition of the
atmosphere lasted about 81 hours.
Again, ON May 10, 1880, there was a.
remarkable darkening Of the atmos-
phere, but the phenomenon did not
come on so suddenly as that upon the
earlier date. The darkness in this latter
instance began between 10 and II O'Clock
on the morning Of the day named and
lasted throughout the day. The dark
ness extended from the northeastern
part of New England westward as far
as Albany and southwark to Pennsyl-
vania. The most intense and prolonged
darkness, however, was confined to
Massachusetts,, more especially to the
seaboard. It is said to have come from
the southwest, but there is no mention
Of it made in the history Of Ohio or the
Virginias. The exact cause still remains
one of the unexplained mysteries. st

AN ABLE PRACTICAL JOKE.
It Created Considerable Excitement In a
University City.

Il Created Considerable Excitement In a
University City.
The Cambridge (England) Independ
ent Press retells the story Of the hoax
perpetrated upon the civic and univer-
sity authorities at Cambridge on the
occasion of the visit of the late shah of
Persia to that country. 1t was on Satur-
day, June %, 1878, at IL o'clock in the
forenoon, that q telegram was found
lying on the hallkeeper's table in the
Guildhall 1t was directed to the wor-
shipful the mayor of Cambridge, was
signed by Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton
and read as follows:
"His imperial majesty the shah OF
Persia desires to visit your university
town today en- route for London by spe-
cial, arriving at Cambridge station
about 10 O'Clock. Be prepared with
escort and reception as far as time al
low"
Instantly everybody began tumbling
over his fellow. The town clerk was
sent for, and messages were dispatched
to the vice chancellor, the members of
the corporation, the volunteer officers
and the cook of St. Peter college kitch-
en-. The vice chancellor hurried on his
robes the aldermen and councillors did
ditto. the volunteers donned their uni
forms, and the cook began to boil and
fry.
Nor were the general public behind
hand Flags were hung cut and crowds
gathered in the street. DR.. Cookson, the
vice chancellor (irreverently known in
those days as Dismal Jimmy"), made
his way to the station as fast as his dig
nifty would permit. The mayor, Mr.. Il.
II. Naylor, and the corporation followed
suit A guard Of honor and carriage.
We're in waiting, and soon everybody
was there except the shah. Then tho
news few round that the railway Off
cials knew nothing about the specia
train, and after a brief delay it was ap
parent that the whole thing was hoax
The perpetrators Of the hoax were nevei
discovered, though two persons were
afterward freely mentioned in connec
ton with it. In the year Of grace 1871
the era Of practical jokes was past, bu
had the authors Of the shah's visit beei
alive in the days Of Theodore Hcol
they might have lived in Literature.

At the Wrong Nuptials.

"If any man can show just cause why
these two persons may not be lawfully
joined together, let him now speak or
else hereafter forever hold his peace. "
Slowly and impressively the oihciat-
ing clergyman spoke these words.
The solemn pause that followed their
utterance was broken by deep, strong
voice from the rear Of the church:
MAY ask you, sir, to repeat the
names Of those two persons who stand
before you as candidates for matri-
mony?"
George Washington SpoonamorC
and Jophenia Shaw" answered the
clergyman, astonished at the Interrupt
tion.
"Go ahead with the marrying" re-
Joined the owner of the deep voice

door. Its all right had just go

nNeLlsAMsN ANp AMERICA.
Many Who Have Been warra-zriends Of
This Country.

Ihis country.
Tie fact is that the English public
men who have understood America, or
who have seemed to care to understand
her, have, at least until recently, always
represented a small minority. During
the first century Of our national life
scarcely an Englishman Of eminence
was clear sighted enough to perceive
Americas real devotion to great ideals.
Our British kinsmen thought us horde
of gradgrinds and nothing else, whereas,
in spite Of a seeming absorption in ma
terial things, the national life was grap-
ping with mighty ethical and political
ideas, which the selfisfaess and ire
sponsibility of politicians might some
times distort, but could never stifle.
Leigh Hunt, as Lowell used to remind
Us, could never think Of America with
out seeing in imagination a gigantic
counter stretched all along our seaboard,
and we bore Hunts rdicule with a
complacency that was the more cheerful
because his caliber and weight of metal
were scarcely great enough to do much
execution over sea. Carlyle sneered; we
remembered his dyspepsia and forgave.
Ruskin emptied the vials of his elo-
Quent contempt upon our sacrifice TO
Americas freedom and integrity; we
abated no jot or title Of our veneration
for his prophets message, while we
strove to make just allowance for the
vagaries of the hyperesthetic tempera-
ment. These things it was easy to con-
done.
The Englishmen who have understood
American life have judged it by some
thing besides the froth OF the irresponsi-
bic press and the antics Of provincial
Statesmen" Cobdens fatal exposure
Of his life to do us service and John
Bright's brave words in the hour Of our
distress can never be forgotten. The
memory of Thomas Hughes-alasl that
we must write memory" now-will
always remain a rich and fragrant leg
acy, TO which, in a peculiar sense, we
are coheirs with Englishmen, while the
work Of Mr.. Bryce has not only won
our respect and gratitude, but is bound
TO leave deep impress on our life. None
Of these men was blind to the evident
foibles, defects and crudities Of the
strenuous life of an earnest and virilC
people. On the other hand, none invited
distrust by silly attempts to fatter o.
cajole. But all were quick to recognize
in American aspiration, achievement
and representative character something
other and better than mere bigness
They even ventured now and then t
speak of these things as great; but TIN
words sits better on their lips than oi
ours. From DUTY Of Englishmen Il

Inha1ing carbonio Acid.

Professor Ugolino Mosso Of Turin has
tested the breathing Of soldiers during
an expedition up Monte Rosa, and found
that the quantity Of carbcnic acid ex-
hailed by a man at a height of 20, 600
feet OF so differs very slightly from
what it is at the sea level or near it.
The professor has also subjected himself
to a rarefied atmosphere in the Physio-
logical institution at Turin, and found
that when the pressure in the air was
still S4 centimeters (about 2 inches) Of
mercury, he felt no Inconvenience, but
when it was reduced to 80 centimeters
(about 6 inches) he felt a great want Of
breath, and became unfit to make obser-
vations. London Globe.

stRntly Increasing.

OF the greatly increased and still in-
creasing number Of persons who have
their hands attended TO by professional
manicures, a considerable number now
have the work done at home. Among
the customers at TIE large manicuring
establishments there are almost as many
men as women. Those whose hands are
cared for at home are nearly all women
and regular customers. Operators are
sent to them at any desired hour from
the manicuring establishments, and
there are now visiting manicures who
devote themselves entirely to home
work. The visiting manicure acquires
the art in a manicuring establishment
An apt pupil can learn the work in two
or three months. Then she sets about
building up q route Of customers. .Wom-
On usually have their hands cared for
once week They are not likely all to
want the work done at the same time,
and the visiting manicure endeavors to
lay out route that can be covered
without less Of time and which will
keep her constantly employed.

In tie case Of children. the work is as
often done to cure them Of the habit OF
biting the finger nails as it is to beauti-

Remarkable Things shown by the Kinet.
oscope When Reversed.
"Impossibilities Made Possible by
Means of the Modern Inventions In the
Electrical Field" furnished the theme of
lecture given recently by Professor @.
Queroult in the Paris Academy Of Sci
ences. During some of his experiments
he hit upon the idea TO turn around
Photographic records and also the series
Of pictures seen through the kinetoscope
respectively the kinematograph. Having
photographed a plant at regular inter
walls and shown in the kinetoscope the
growth, the development of the stem,
leaves, buds. flowers and fruit, the
same consequence of Photographic pic
lures reversed was presented TO the eye
of the astonished academicians. who
wondered at the fruit turning into flow
ers, flowers into buds, buds drawing
back into themselves and disappearing,
the leaves closing, getting smaller and
disappearing, the stem getting shorter
and shorter, until the earth closes over IL.
The most incredible things are devel-
oped before the eyes of the spectator il

is reversed. A drinker takes up an empty
glass and replaces it full upon the table 1;
a smoker sees the stump Of cigar fly
ing at him from the floor, takes it to
his mouth and sees the smoke originate
in the room, draws it into his mouth

heightened and finally replaced in the

thrown away his garments, is recovered

Hope when You are Hard Up.

The hopeful phase is when we seek
work for the first time. Possibly we are
entire strangers TO the great city and its
ways. We have entered its gates with
out introduction. with little experience
of life, less money. and yet with the
grand idea Of stepping into some lucra-
tive appointment that may be had al
most for the asking II Of an adventure
loving and enterprising spirit, we are
prepared to enjoy this new experience.
The untried city has a fascination for
us. Its streets, its buildings, the faces
of its inhabitants-all touch our fancy.
We set off full of hope We are 20 sure
that fate has something bright in store.
We go from agent TO agent, from edi-
tor to editor, from publisher TO publish
er, from one place of business TO anoth-
er. Agents are naturally pleased TO
pocket their fees rs they smilingly as

scripts. Poor editorsl Publishers do us

INVENTORS DON'T PATENT.
Discoverers Of Epoch Making Devices Too
No Pains to Keep Them.

Discoverers of Epoch Making Devices Took
No Pains to Keep Them.
If you look back on the history of hui
man progress, you will find that none
of the great epoch making inventions
has ever been patented. The man who
lit the first fire whether Prometheus
or the party from whom he stole the
idea, did not get patent for it. Nei-
ther did the man who made the first
wheel-in every sense one of the most
revolutionary inventions in the history
Of man. The same thing may be said OF
the invention of soap, candles, gun
powder, umbrellas and the mariners
compass, or, to come down to our own
day, of the steam engine and the elec-
trio telegraph.
Patents are mostly concerned with
small mechanical details and improve
ments-it may be in candles or umbrel-
las or it may be in the application Of
steam and electricity-and by means Of
these patents enormous profits have
been secured to second rate inventors,
but the great ideas and discoveries
which underlie these details have been
given to the world gratis.
There is a general notion that if you
did not protect inventions by means OF
patents inventors would cease TO invent,
and material progress would come to 9
standstill But history does not beal
this out in the least. Men with great
mechanical gifts do not exercise then
solely with view to commercial profit
any more than astronomers search the
heavens for new worlds with an eye t,
registering patents and floating com
/ panies on the results Of their discover
les. --London Truth.
