LORA MELIKOFF.

Cossacks and convicts alike were pet
rifed at the lads daring deed, and for
moment no one stirred.
Phil made motion to follow his COM
panion, but Platoff fiercely held him
back. Then Captain Daroman stagger-
ed dizzily to his feet. He drew his
sword and sprang with savage cry at
Maurice, who was standing calmly in
iront of the girl he had rescued.
The lads fate appeared to be sealed,
out Just when the weapon was within
foot of his head the captain stopped
snort and cried in voice hoarse with
passion, mo, no. my fine fellow; that's
700 merciful for you" He sheathed his
weapon and turned to the soldiers.
Bind him to that tree yonder," he
shouted, land shoot him instantly"
The Cossaoks sprang forward, and

Daroman.

Human Hair Groyyths.

Prof. Exner. Of the Vienna Medical
society, treating of the functions of the
human hair. remarks upon the some
what curious fact that writers have
hitherto occupied themselves mainly
with speculations as to the circum-
stances which have led to man becom-
ing denuded of hts hairy covering-the
hairs, however, being not only degen-
Grated organs, but having also to full
fill some functions. There is a group,
says the professor, such as the eye
lashes and the eyebrows, for instance,
which are sensorial organs, possessing
tactile functions, and. moreover, serve
as protection to the eyes; and in
places where two integumentary sur
faces are in contact, they act as rollers
and facilitate :he gliding of the inte-
gumentary surfaces on each other.
Further. there is no doubt that the hair
of the scalp protects the head against
external cold, and also prevents the loss
of heat through very low conductivity
of the hair cylinders and of the cushion
of air intermingled with them.-Chi-

CAN MOVE ANYTHING.
Marvellous Feats Of the Modern
Methods of Pushing.

Marvellous Feats Of the Modern
Methods of Pushing.
There are certain men working quiet
ly in various parts of the United States
who could if they chose to do it, move
the Pyramids, pick up the Egyptian
obelisks, or lift modern skyscraper
from its caisson bed and carry it across
the street. There are not many such
men, yet few, il any, pondcrous objects
exist in the world which they will not
attempt to move intact for considera-
ton. In the directory these men are
called house movers, but they are en-
titled to designation of far greater
dignity, for some of their achievements
are numbered among theg great engineer
ing feats of the world. Within the past
few months the house movers have ex-
perienced an unwonted activity. Some
really creditable and in some cases stu
pendous feats have been performed.
The moving of Lowering hall at Johns
Hopkins university was one of these
fears, the moving of an upper New York
house 16 blocks along the public high
way was another, and the very recent
moving and resetting of tall smoke
stack at Manhanset was a third.
One of these house movers declares
that Snere is no building, however
heavy, however bulky, which cannot be
lifted from it's foundations and con-
veyed any distance. This means, of
course, without any damage to the
building itself; that the very ornaments
on the mantel pieces, the bric-a-brac in
the cabinets will in no way be disturbed,
that the window glass will not be even
cracked, that the home life of the fam
lily occupying the moving house win be
undisturbed. Such is absolutely the
fact. 1t is not necessary for the occu-
pants of the building to temporarily
change their quarters; to take the cas-
tors off the bedsteads, nor to pack up
all the perishable articles in the house.
1t is on record that an old tall clock
which was in house which was moved
in Westchester county, N. Y, never
stopped running all during the
progress of removal. On the other
hand there seems to be no limit to the
movers capabilities as far as weight Is
concerned. The Brighton Beach hotel,
which was placed on $50 fiat cars and
moved 600 feet, weighed 5000 tons. The
weight of the recently moved railroad
station at Mott Haven, N. Y, is 1,7Oo
tons. This building was composed en-
tirely of brick and stone and the weight
is very unequally distributed, central
tower alone weighing 500 tons. To be
frank, these feats take all of the won
derment out of the raising of the pyra-
mids and obelisks, inasmuch as the most
primitive tools are used by the engi-
neers.-Louisville Courier-Jo urnal.

THE SToIC HERO MADE NO oUTCRY.
pie, and 1t was wrecked in waters full
of sharks, and the lieutenant and six
of his men escaped drowning by cling
ing to capsized boat. The lieutenant
was the youngest of them all, except
a lad named Wilson, but he was also the
coolest and cleverest, as a commanding
men to get off the boat and endeavur to
right it. They obeyed, all the time
they were in the water waving and kick.
ing to scare off the sharks they could
see swimming about. Lieut.. Smith then
ordered two of the men into the boat to
bail, while the rest chung to her sides.
With so much water In her she could
not bear up more than two men. Soon,
though, so much water was bailed out
that he ordered two more men into the
boat, and the bailing was going on fast
when one of the two beside himself who
were still in the water was seized by
shark, and with one cry sank. This so
frightened the men that, horrible to
tell, they once more capsized the boat.
The young commander remained calm,
ordered all hands to again right the
boat, and when that was done put two
men in it again to bail. AS they got to
work shark, with one bite, took of
one Of Lieut.. Smiths legs, and he, the
more than stole hero, made no sign,
lest fright again cause his men to cap
size the boat. They did not know he
was hurt. In moment or two the
rest were ordered into the boat, he wait
ing to enter it last himself. Just as he
was ready to ask the men to help him
a shark caught his remaining leg. He
fell back in the water, but his men
saved him, and lifted him into the boat
to die. With his last breath he told
the boy Wilson to report to the adj
miral that all the men had done their
duty.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

officials Making Ready to Observe
the SUNS Total Eclipse in 1900.
The United States government Is
already preparing to take observations
of the total eclipse of the sun which
is to take place on May 20, 1900.
Observation stations will be estab-
lshed along the path of the total eclipse
and experienced astronomers in the
service of the government will be sent
down to take the observations and
make the astronomical calculations
which it is expected will be so valuable
to science and to astronomy.
These observations will be for the
purpose of determining the best points
at which to establish the permanent
stations, where the final observations
will be taken during the eclipse of 1900.
The path of the total eclipse will ex-
tend in direct line from New Orleans
TO Norfolk, Va, and will pass through
Georgia in the locality of Macon.
Blank report sheets have been sent
to all the weather bureaus in the vicini-
ty of the path of the eclipse with the
instruction to the weather man to Sc
cure the services of capable and in
telligent men to take the observations
and register the results in the sheets
made for the purpose. The exact con-
dition of the sky, of the sun and of the
whole heavens will be marked down
in the sheets every morning of the
month when the observations are being
taken, and all of the sheets when filled
out will foe sent to Washington and
carefully graded. The permanent OBJ
servation stations will be established
at the points where the first obscrva-
tions taken receive the highest percen-

HARVESTING THE TIDES.
One Instance in Which the Power
Has Been Successfully Applied.

One Instance in Which the Power
Has Been Successfully Applied.
Various plans have been suggested at
different times for the utilization of
the energy developed by the rise and
fall of the tides, but the intermittent
character of the power has usually pre-
vented any satisfactory solution of the
problem. There is, however, one in
stance in which tide power has been
quite successfully applied in very sim
pie manner. Along the river front at
Liverpool there is a tendency for the
accumulation of silt against the dock
walls, requiring occasional dredging
for its removal. Instead of using scoop
dredges, this mud is removed at diff
ferent periods 10y the use of tide power
in the following manner: Along the
base of the dock wall is laid pipe, per-
forated with holes, directed outward,
this pipe being connected with the in
terror of the dock system, and suitable
valves being provided to permit or
check the flow of water. When the
tide is very low, and consequently the
head of water measured from the sur
face in the docks is at it's greatest,
sudden opening of the connection per-
mits rapid flushing action by the
water escaping through the holes in the
pipe at the base of the walls, securing
out the mud and driving it out into
the river to be carried away. AS the
tides at Liverpool average about rs feet
or more, it is evident that this simple
form of dredging apparatus may be
very effective, and as the time chosen
for using it may be selected when the
supply of water is greatest, it does not
interfere with the regular use of the
docks. Ultimately, no doubt, the in
PRODUCTION of practical and economical
forms of power storage will render the
equalization of tide power commercials
ly practicable, but at the present time
this example serves to demonstrate the
fact that solar and lunar attraction,
as expressed by the tides, have been
harnessed in small way at least
