Cobalt and Nickel In Aerolite..

OF all the metals hitherto discoy-
cred there is none more interest
ing from certain points of view than
nickel and cobalt. There is seien-
titic mystery surrounding them that
has never been solved and is not
likely to be explained for many
years to come. Although they pos
sess very distinct properties, and
form salts of very different colors,
they have exactly the same combin-
ing number (29.5), and this number
approaches that of iron (2s), the
commonest metal, with the excep-
ton perhaps of aluminium, that
exists in the crust of the earth.
They are also, like iron, attracted
by the magnet.
Moreover, they are invariably
present in those masses of metal
called meteoric iron, or aerolites,
which occasionally fall from the
skies upon the surface of our earth.
The fall of these aerolites generally
occurs in broad daylight, when the
sky is clear and the sun. shining
brightly. A stream of cloud, OF
metallic vapor, appears in the air,
and Il noise like the loudest thunder
is heard after the whizzing of the
aerolite, constituting one of the
most terrifying phenomena tits pos
sible to behold.-Chambers' Jour
nal.

The Rosettes on the Brides.

AsooosSSS
The bride of pretty much every
harness has upon it rosettes, more
or less ornamental, one on each side,
placed at the ends of the front, or
brow, band. These rosettes are
made in very great variety. Some
are made of tin, some of German sill
yer, and some of German silver COW
cred with a thin sheet of silver.
Some rosettes are plain, some are
embossed. They sell at prices rang
ing from practically nothing to SO a
pair. Rosettes of this kind are often
engraved with the monogram or
with initials. Engraved rosettes are
not i,,frequently seen on business
harness.
There arecostlier rosettes that are
used on carriage harness only and
are made some of leather and some
of silk ribbon. These are made by
hand in various sizes and of various
colors and combinations of colors.
Handsome rosettes of leather sell at
$3.50 to SIS a pair, depending upon
the size; the ribbon rosettes at from
SIS to SO pair. Rosettes of this
kind are not sold with the harness.
They are bought separately as orna-
ments. Ribbon rosettes costing $40
apair might, for instance, be bought
to attach to the brides of fine dou.
BILE harness costing, say, s4OO set.

THE WAYS.

Do you traverse a way
That is likely to end
At Something some day,
My friend2
Or do you belong
To the great, plodding throng
On the broad, level way
That leads to Nowhere
That will end some day
In Nothing out there?
There are paths leading out
From this broad, level way
You have seen them, no doubt,
For you pass them each day
That lead to Somewhere,
That glorious place,
So distant, so fair,
Like mirage in space.
But these pathways, you say,
Are SO stony and steep,
And the broad, level way
Is SO easy to keep!
You have heard of Somewhere,
And you'd like to go there
If a way could be found
That was easy and wound
In smooth. broad course that led on
around
And up the height,
Where the city stands, glorious sight,
Peopled by only immortals, and where
There is honor for each that at last gets
there.
All, there is no way that is level and
broad
Leading up to this glorious place, Some.
where,
And no man yet who has only trod
A way that is easy and smooth and
broad
Has ever succeeded in getting there!
