Happenings In New Garden of
Eden.
BY ]. a BoLLEs.


Rev. Henry Wright had been assist

and was about 10 assume charge of
his first independent parish, its nucleus
being in small country village
The clergyman had visited the place
once, and had been so faYorably i'm
pressed that nc was eager to enter up-
on his. new field Of labor
So secluded and quiet was the village
OF Broadlawn, so great was the beauty
in and about it, that it seemed not IN
like modern Garden Of Eden, with
out any serpent to create a disturb
ance. Mr.. Wright was confident that
the people would prove to be guileless
and kindly.
One Sunday in the early fail he began
his duties as rector. He preached a
CHEEKY, sympathetic sermon. telling his
hearers what he proposed to do for
them and asking for their hearty CO.
operation Many shook hands with him
after the service, and promised to aid
him as much as they could.
During the next month Rev Henry
Wright pursued his work with zeal
He called on his parishioners and
sought to become well acquainted with
them. He preached sermons that were
interesting, even if not filed with deep
thought, and he received frequent com
plimerMs.
He noticed that the maiden ladies, of
whom there we're a goodly number,
some rather old and sedate, others
young and blooming. manifested a live
" interest in him, but his modesty and
ineXperience led HIM to believe that
they sought his presence for spiritual
guidance rather than for any worldly
reasons.
But his tranquil days were numbered.
When Miss Charlotte Lacey and her
widowed mother came from a city to
Broadlawn to reside. the rector's inter-
est in life was no longer strictly con-
fined to his clerical duties.

Miss Lacey was one of those sweet,

The young clergyman, taught to rever-

was smttten. and he began to show
her timid attentions not vouchsefed
to the other famale members of his
flock.
Miss Lacey joined the choir, and all
of the men declared that her singing
was beautiful beyond anything that
had ever been heard in the church. AS
he listened to her voice, it was with
great difficulty that Rev. Henry Wright
could prevent his thoughts from wan

decorated-the young ladies with white

of a capital OF one OF the States OF the
United States and each OF the men a
State. The latter were required 10 ma
the capitals, and, be it said TO their cred

course. the whispered questions asked
along the way are not mentioned here.
Having brought the capitals and the
States together the guests walked out 10
the tent in the rear, where shaped
table was laden down with Hawaiian
dishes prepared by natives. The table
cloth was just as is found at a Hawaiian
feast, and the posts around the tent were
one mass of ieie, vines and ferns. Jap
anese lanterns, enclosing electric hghts,
cast a mellow light over all. Music DE

The repast finished, the guests again
repaired TO the house, where coffee was

The Eject of Water Pressure.

1t is remarkable fact that the very
means OF life may be the cause of
death. A whale is drowned, and now
q scientist tells us that there seems to
be a peculiar fatality among fishes.
After reaching certain depth of water
the swimming bladders become dis
tended by the pressure of air. and the
fish literally explode. Too much of
ones native element may bring about
most disastrous consequences. A sud
den change of air from one density to
another may cause the rupture of a
blood vessel. and a too sudden change
of temperature has produced like re-
suits. Extremes of all sorts are not
very injurious, but are likely to prove
fatal. especially to organisms that are
not in the enjoyment Of robust health.

The Strength of Metal.

The breaking strain of metals is
something that has interested scientists
for many years, and is Of peculiar mo-
ment to builders who employ metals
in the course of their work. As an
example Of the strength of wire, it
is stated that there is in Switzerland a
single span of wire crossing the lake OF
Wallenstadt in the canton OF st. Gall.
1t was built by the Swiss telephone bu-
reau, and is the longest unsupported
telegraph wire in the world. It's ends
are anchored to two stone piers sup
porting iron towers, which are seven
thousand eight hundred and seventy
two feet apart. The towers are so high
that the wire at it's lowest point is one
hundred and thirty-one feet above the
surface of the lake. The wire was
made of specially prepared steel, and
is only one and one-half inches in di-
ameter.

The Age of Needles.

There is reason to believe that nee
dies were known to the ancient Ro-
mans, and by them used from a very
early date. The Hebrew, Chinese and
HIndoo records furnish abundant evil
dences that they also were familiar
with this useful implement 1t is not
remarkable that none have been dis
covered, as the quality of steel of which
they are made will not resist the cor
oding influences of the atmosphere.
The Moors taught the Spaniards how
to make needles, and to Spain England
owes her knowledge of this important
bit of handicraft. For many years,
however, the manufacture Of needles IN
England was in the hands of foreigners
who guarded the secrets of their trade
with the most jealous care. 1t was not
until the year 1850 that this Industry
became Of any great commercial i'm

Birds Hold the Balance of Power.

In recent lecture Prof Wilmer
Stone of Philadelphia cited many facts
to show that birds are natures great
check on the excess of insects, and that
they keep the balance between plants
and insect life. Ten thousand cater
pillars, 1t has been estimated, could de-
stroy every blade of grass on an acre of
cultivated ground. In thirty days from
the time it is Matched an ordinary cat
erpillar increases 10000 times in bulk,
and the food it lives and grows on is
vegetable. The insect population of a
single cherry tree infested with aphides
was calculated by a promin-
ent entomologist at no less
than 12,000,000! The bird popu-
lation OF cultivated country dis
tricts has been estimated at from 700
to 1000 per square mile. This is small
compared with the number of insects,
yet as each bird consumes hundreds of
insects every day, the latter are pre-
vented from becoming the scourge they
would he but for their feathered enc
