This, IT True, Is Most Remarkable.

The experiments of w. Ingles Rogers
would seem to show that real images Of
objects are formed on the human retina.
Mr.. Rogers looked fixedly at shilling in
daylight for full minute, then covered
the window of the room with a yellow
screen to exclude actinic rays, and fixed
his eye steadily on the center of photo
graphic plate, keeping all his thoughts &C.
cupied with the image of the shilling.
After looking at the plate for 43 minutes
he developed it and found dim outline
of the coin.
Continuing his experiments, Mr.. Rogers
produced n "psychogram" in the presence
Of three trustworthy witnesses, the object
being postage stamp, instead of coin.
The stamp was placed in strong light
and looked at for one minute, then remov-
cd, and a Photographic plato put in it's
place. Mr.. Rogers continued to look at
the plate for 90 minutes. 1t was then de-
veloped, and the image obtained was re-
produced in The Amateur Photographer.
Although somewhat vague, it shows that
an image on tho retina can send out rays
capable of influencing sensitive plato
and lends some color to the notion that
picture of his murderer remains in muir
dered mans oye.-London Globe.

"The Knock Out" at Auctions.

There are, we all suppose, in a certain
sale half a dozen "lots" of choice old
china. Four first class dealers in this
property attend the auction Call them
A, B, 9 and ID. 1t is mutually arranged
that A shall do the bidding and the re-
manning three keep silent. We will sup
pose, with a view to simplicity, that each
OF these six lots is worth to dealer "a,
but rs our four friends are probably the
only persons in the room who could dis
pose of such property and who understand
its value, and rs they refrain from COM
peting, it Is not ut all surprising to find
that the six lots are bought by A at the
rate of 10 shillings apiece
So much for the first stage in the plot
The sale being concluded, A, b, G. and ID
forgather at some obscure public house.
where they can have the use of private
room, and then begins the second auction
Lot No. l is offered, and after some COM
petition is allotted to G, for, let us say
93 los. He pays over this sum to A, who
acts as auctioneer, and who, after deduct
ing the 10 shillings he has paid for the
lot, proceeds TO divide the balance of 93
among the members of the party. Conse-
quently g gets his piece of china for 23
los. and 10 shillings back into the bar
gain, while the others each receive n like
amount. So with the next lot, which ID
buys for more or less as the case may be,
and, In fact, the procedure as quoted may
serve as an illustration of how the affair
Is conducted throughout. - Chambers

GRANT AND SHERMAN.
Mary Anderson de Navarro Pays Both q
Them Pretty Tributes.

Mary Anderson de Navarro Pays Both OF
Them Pretty Tributes.
In all her letters and writings Mary An
derson do Navarro's fondness for the
friends of her early days is clearly shown.
In The Ladies' Home Journal she recalls
some of those who have passed away, no.
tably Booth Manager Macauley, John II
Ford, and thus records her meeting with
and estimate of General Grant: "It was
during my delightful southern tour (the
first) that DR. Griffin presented me to Gen
eral-then President-Grant, whom he
had known in old soldering days, when
the general had captured and imprisoned
him. 1t was pleasant to see these enemies
in war so friendly in times of peace. Kind
illness and simplicity were marked traits
of the president while certain rugged
ness of manner and speech that was sug-
gestive of his earlier life gave an addition
al interest to all he said and did In show
ing us over the White House his pleasure
in pointing out various trophies was I'M
disguised and boyish. While lunching
with him, the natural way in which he
brought himself down to the level of my
youth and small experience of life without
touch of that visible condescension so
annoying to the young was charming"
Meeting him some years after, and failing
to recognize him, Mrs. de Navarro records
that after his speaking to her and an
nouncing himself rs General Grant, before
she recalled him, he said jokingly in re-
Spouse 10 her confused uttcrance that he
had $50 changed" Yes, have grown
thinner and paler; l am DO longer presi-
dent, you sec, and am consequently less
1T was about this time that my friend
ship with General sherman also began"
writes Mrs. de Navarro. "IIe was one of
the few eminent mon l have met whose
interest in every subject of conversation
was SO great that his particular meter
could not have been guessed. He knew
much about the stage, Shakespeare and
the drama generally and was "a passionate
lover of the arts, thinking them all worthy
Of equal regard AS critic he was good,
though perhaps too enthusiastic over any
excellence, however small, if genuine en-
thusiasm can be called fault. His man
ner was brisk and hearty. His personality
gave the impression of rugged strength,
SO much so that his entrance into room
was like breath of fresh, invigorating
air. He scorned fear and encouragement
Of every kind and refused to allow any
0ne to give way to either"

STORIES OF BRET HARTE.
How He Came to Print "The Heather
Chinee" and Win Fame.

Several friends of Bret Harte were dis
cussing story of his which came out late
iy in a leading periodical, and several
anecdotes were told about him which have,
believe, never been in print. The men
were all prominent in some department Of
life, and the conversation was held in the
reading room of the Union League club.
81 wonder If you know how Harte be-
came famous?" said one fine looking old
man. 81 was in the west at the time.
Dear me, it must have been 25 years agoi
He had been doing regular work for the
California Overland Monthly, and the edi-
tor looked on him as a person to be relied
on 20 do not only regular work, but to fiji
In gaps when they appeared. One day he
rushed up to Harte and said:
+" l must have half a column immedi-
ssoly. Have you anything on handS'
"Harte went to his desk, and ovcrturn-
ang n pile of manuscript picked out some
verses and threw them to the editor with
the remark:
g 4 don't know whether they will suit,
but have nothing else the right length.
THE verses were The Heather Chinee ;
1.-THE next day Harte was famous. He
has since done what he himself considers
better work, but the public, for once con-
slant, gives the highest praise to the work
which he thought hardly worth printing :"

claimed almost in breath: How he will

some of her characters: 1T was not how

HISTORIC WELAKA RIVER.
1t Is One OF the Most Interesting Stream.
In America.

III oue OF the NtOsI interesting streams
In America.
The historic Wolaka river, the modern
st. Johns, is to the stranger one of the
most interesting rivers on the American
continent. 1t is unique in many particu
lars which go to make up II river. Find
ing its source in the far south, it flows
northward for nearly all its length until
reaching the metropolis of Florida it
turns eastward and pours its great volume
of waters into the ocean. This fact seems
the more strange since the universal opin-
ion prevails that the extreme south Is low
and flat, and would leave the impression
that the river ran up hill as it cuts its
way through the much higher land of our
northern boundary.
This, however, is a minor point of inter-
est compared with the wild appearance it
presents to the eye of the stranger as first
he beholds it, with its somber cypress, al
most awaking superstition, and the swamp
hickory, with it's peculiar foliage and small
but rich, sweet nut, upon which the far
famed razor back hog, alike with the beau
tiful gray squirrel, feasts in profound ST.
lence, but doubtless with voracious appe-
tite. A large part of the shore on each
hand conveys an idea of vastness of ex-
This somber scene is relieved by the stately
palmetto, on which are often festooned
from tree to tree the wild convolvuli.
When seen in the early morn, as the pala-
tial steamers, seagoing and river, swiftly
make their way up and down the majestic
stream, these turn their beautiful cup
shaped flowers white as snow, toward the
coming king of day, sparkling with dew
drops.
The broad savannas occasionally lie al
most apparently on the level of the river
itself. On these queer formations abound
wild flowers of every hue, shape and boz
tanical order, making one vast picture,
framed in the surrounding forests enliv-
ened all over with birds of every hue and
sweet song, while the strong, green
growths present a tropical vigor Of life
which is really an inspiration to health
and strength. -Jacksonville Times Union.
