WALLACE RRUCES POEM.

At the meeting Of Grant Post last night Walla
,rce read the following poem. written by him al
edlcated to the post
BEND LOW
Bend low beside the soldiers grave
His ashes lift with reVerent hahd
Hark 10 the voice again that gave
To Liberty supreme command!
Bend low brave comrades or the past
Your garlands strew with moistened eyes,
While angel fingers fondly cast ~
Sweet amaranths from waiting SKIES
BEND low, The world respondent now
To echoes from the far away;
Columbia. with uncovered brow
A heartfelt Offering brings to-day.
Rend low as veteran lips renew
The glow and throb OF burning years.
A people pass In long review
To pay tho homage OF their tears.
BEND low Ger yonder Palisades
The darkling shadows gently Greer;
Bend low while gathering twilight fades
And starry pickets guard his sleep:
HIS tomb the Nations heart for aye
Rejecting Freedoms fairest beam,
AS morning blue and evening gray
Become the sentres of his dream.
Bend low beneath that message fraught
With prophecy TO all the world
LET us have peace" divinely wrought
In hammered folds Of love unfurled:
HIS glory as the centuries wide,
His honor bright as sunlt seas
His lullaby the Hudson tide.
His requiem the whispering breeze

ON OCEANS BED.

What Becomes of Ships Which Sink to
the Bottom of the Sea-
What becomes of the ship that sinks
in midocean? If it is of wood, it takes,
in the first place, considerable time for
it 10 reach the bottom. In 100 or more
fathoms of water a quarter Of an hour
will elapse before the ship reaches bot
tom. 1t sinks slowly, and, when the bot
tom is reached, it falls gently into the
soft, oozy bed, with no crash or break
ing.
OF course, if it is laden with pig iron
or corresponding substances, or If it is
an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and some
times strikes the bottom with such force
as TO smash in pieces. Once sunEen, a
ship becomes the prey of the countless
inhabitants Of the ocean.
They swarm over and through the
great boat and make il their home. Be-
sides this they cover every inch of the
boat with a thick layer of lime. This
takes time, of course, and when one
generation dies another continues the
work, until finally the ship is so laden
with heavy incrustations, corals, sponges
and barnacles that, if wood, the creak-
ing timbers fall apart and slowly but
surely are absorbed in the waste at the
sea bottom.
Iron vessels are demolished mor'
quickly than those of wood, which mn,
last for centuries The only metals thu
Withstand the chemical action of thu
waves are gold and platinum, and glas

long gold may be hidden in the ocean
it will always be gold when recovered

sanitation In Asia.

The appearance OF plague at Bombay
and Calcutta has produced one good
effect at all events. Before its advent
those prosperous cities had come to be-
lieve that they had nothing TO learn in
regard to sanitation. There was time
when they were open to reproaeh in
such matters as open sewers, polluted
water, and what not. But by dint Of
liberal expenditure Of money aud energy
they had made matters right and could
even challenge comparison with Paris,
Berlin and Vienna. When, however, the
awful eastern scourge, after striking
firm root at the western capital, few
across the peninsula to the eastern. the
public became a little doubtful as 10
whether sanitary precautions had been
duly observed. First came inquiry, then
dismay, indignation, wrath, as discov-
cry followed discovery, each more ap-
palling than the last. We refrain from
giving particulars. Even to read these
horrors is s.cEening But still more
terrible question presents itself, II the
two L ost cultured and wealthiest cities
in Hisdustan are in this dreadful con-
dition, what must be the state of less
favored centers Of population in districts
where there are few whites and many
blacks? We're the plague to penetrate
inland, it would, we fear, find many
towns only too ready for its reception.

THE MISTAKE SHE MADE.
Railrpad Travellers Who at Last Under
stood zach Other.


She sat by the car window, gazing
out upon the unrollin2 scenery and pos
sibly dreaming of home and things like
that
About six feet away from her, across
the aisle, was an empty seat, which at
the next station was filled by man
with a sample case He was 90 years of
age or thereabout and was quite as dap
per looking as if he were so and still
the knight to please every fair dame
who set her soft eyes upon him.
The lady was young and pretty, with
perhaps a shade too much display in her
makeup, but still one could hardly say
that, for all is not gold that glitters in
such cases-or words to that effect.
When the man had sat down in the
vacant seat and composed himself for
the journey before him. he began to look
about to familiarize himself with his
environments, and in the course Of his
visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the
young lady He gave a slight start, as
people do when they think they see
somebody they know, and looked again.
The lady wasn't looking, Of course,
But she wasn't asleep.
Not in the slightest.
After a minute or two or three or
four Of hesitating investigation the trav-
cling man, for il was he, arose and very
politely and deferentially approached
the young lady.
1t was done as if he had been practic-
ing that sort Of thing ever since he had
picked up the first sample case. Either
that or he was to the manner born.
II beg your pardon. he said as she
turned from the window to meet him
with half startled, fawnlike move
ment not altogether unusual on such
occasions, aren't you Miss Morton OF
Philadelphia"
She gave him CLASSY stare with a
raw edge on it,
"You don't look like a man, " she re-
piled with an insolent air, "who would
try to work as old racket as that on
me. Do 1 look so green as thats"
1t was now his turn to gaze at her in
startled wonder
"Oh, that's all right, " she laughed
moving over to make room beside her
"and I'll forgive you. You know 1 an
not Miss Morton of Philadelphia or any
where else, and so do l know it. Blu
sit down. I'm lonesome, and I'd just a
soon have pleasant little talk with yoI
as not I'm to meet mamma at the sta
tion where we take dinner.
II beg your pardon, " said the travel
ing man, backing away. 81 am sure j
you are not Miss Morton 1 have no de

DEVOID OF ANIMAL LIFE.
A Ceaseless Struggle Between Fire and
Water In Antarctica.

a Ceaseless Struggle Between Fire and
Water In Antarctica.
"The Antarctic is a continental land
unique in the world, F" writes General
A. w. Greely in an interesting article
ON ''What May Be Found at the South
Pole" in The Ladies Home Journal
"Its desolate shores, rarely approach
able under most favorable conditions,
are laved by an ocean the richest on the
globe in its marine life. animal and
vegetable. Seals and whales in incredi-
BILE numbers abound in its waters, and
countless sea birds cover with nests and
eggs the few favored land spots which
are free from snow during the brief,
comfortless summer. IL is a continent
where abounds no land animal life,
either mammals, birds, insects, spiders
or reptiles. No mammal exists within
600 miles of its borders. 1t is also de-
void of land vegetation Except the low
est forms Of cellular tissue, lichens.
which have been found in two places
only, having neither ferns, Towering
plants, shrubs nor trees.
"Here, however, nature displays her
forces on scale elsewhere unknown.
| Over the millions of square miles of this
austral continent ceaselessly continues a
titanic struggle between the opposing
ancient elements of fire ana water. In
vain the volcanoes pour forth streams Of
molten lava and shoot upward pillars of
fire. Welcoming the lava as q protect
ing, nonconducting covering of its lower
strata of flowing glaciers, the conti-
mental ice cap resistlessly advances, GER
tain that in time, when the processes of
erosion have lowered the elevation of
the volcanic craters, its countless tiny
snowflakes will quench the apparently
unextinguishable fires that now shake
from end to end the continent of An

KILLING WOLVES.
Some of the Methods Used to Get Rid o
the Pests.

Some OF the Methods Used to Get Rid OF
the Pests.
Whole families of the animals are
sometimes asphyxiated III their dens.
A wolf Of the gray variety generally
makes its home by getting on the side
of a dirt gulch and burrowing straight
inward until safe distance from the
surface is reached. There her young are
born and raised to sturdy cub estate.
When a cowboy locates a den in
which he believes the entire family to
be gathered, a composite mass of cotton,
saturated with damp -four sulphur and
other noxious smelling substances, is
thrust into the den and set on fire. The
mouth Of the hole is then filed with
clay tamped down solidly, and the inn
prisoned wolves are speedily suffocated
within. In this way from to 10 and
IL wolves, young and old, are wiped
out at one stroke.
Another effective method is to bore
four or more holes in a fiat piece Of
board and plug them up with beef fat
soaked in strychnine The odor of the
fat attracts any wolves that may be in
the vicinity. and they lick the fat vora-
ciously until the leaveniDg of poison
does its work upon thom and they drop
dead. Very often as many as dozen
wolves are killed off by this process be-
fore the fat in the holes is exhausted.
Strychnine inclosed in capsules is also
used. The capsule is thrust into a slit
cut in chunk Of beef, and the wolf,
boiling the meat whole, falls an easy
victim. Steel traps. baited with raw
beef, are also tried with fair success. -
