A Novel Fire DetectOr.

On high tower in the city Of Vienna
there is an instrument known as the top
oscope, constantly attended day and
night, for the purpose OF locating fires.
1t consists Of a good telescope, which is
solidly attached to an arrangement OF
levers, while graduated sections oil a
circle are arranged horizontally and YER
ticaly in such a way that the moving OF
the telescope sideways, or up or down,
results in a change of position of the
hands attached to the levers, in reference
to the graduated scales. Thus, whenever
the telescope is focused upon the same
object, the hands will point to the same
figures on the horizontal and on the yer.
teal sextant; and, since an index OF the
whole city has been made, it is but mat
ter OF few seconds. when glare is dis.
covered at night to direct upon the spot
the toposcope on the side, to read off the
numbers to look up the object, and to
telegraph to The central station the de-
tails observed.

A Slave to DUTY.

Marie A. Mile, in September St.
Nicholas, tells number of "Stories
of Elephants Mrs. Mile says:
Some time before the elephant hunt
| have described, my husband was at
station in Bengal. His work kept
him out nearly all day, and, being i'll,
used to lie for hours in a long
garden-chair on the veranda, too
weak to read, or enjoy any more ex
citing amusement than my eyes sup
piled to me.
We had three elephants for our
tents and baggage; and one dear
creature used to feed from my hands
every day, and seemed as gentle as
any pet dog or cat.
One of our government chaprasis
was particularly devoted to her, and
invariably shared his meal OF fruit or
flour-cakes with his dumb friend. On
a particularly hot dav, the chapras ii,
to my surprise, placed his tiny child
of six months at the elephants feet,
warning her expresslvely that the
infant was in her charge, and was 10
be cared for till his return. | myself
was an eve. witness of her wonderful
saeacity. Large banana trees and
fig trees grew around, and, to my
surprise, the elephant broke off one
OF the formers spreading leaves, held
it like ian in her trunk, and from
time to time gracefully waved it over
the slumberlng child, whether tc
temper the heat of the atmosphere OF
to keep off flies, | am unable to say
The gentle way in which she movet
her feet over the child, and across tt
each side, astounded me. sent TO
a white loaf and some oranges, ant
calling her by name (she was neve
chained), tried in vain to tempt he
to nv side on the low veranda
Nothing would induce her to leav
her charge. The warm air and mo
notonous wave Of the swinging ia,
overpowered me with dro wsiness, t
which yielded; and after sleep c
some duration, | was awakened b.
quiet subducd snorts beside me. 7
my surprise, found that the chapra:
had Just returned to his offspring
and the elephant stood near the Vt
randa beside me, patiently waitin
and gently asking tor the temptin
dainties,so bravely wllhstood for owe
two hours.

of the biennial committee and all COM
muncations regarding the programme

1t is hardly necessary to add that ev
cry loyal club woman west of the Missis-
sippi will feel especially interested in this
biennial, and it will not be their fault
If the Eastern club women fail to get
their "eyelids shaken a little wild T
apart. splendid tribute has been paid
to the Western club women by an East
ern sister of wide repute, who says that
THE Western women in their splendid
courage and zeal go ahead and do things
that Eastern women only dream of, per-
haps sigh for and then give up as inn
practical; that when the Eastern woman
gets a little of this independence of spir-
it. mixed with the wholesome bitter truth
that intelligence and culture and the best
womanlmess are not bounded ON the west

club movement will be more thoroughly
demonstrated than ever before"
