a MISSING Bill.

Senator Alrichs called for the second
reading of the bill to extend the char
ter of the Wilmington and Chester
Electric Railway Company. The clerks
hunted high and low for it. but their
efforts were unavailing.
Finally II was suggested that Senator
Handy, who was absent. might have it
locked up in his desk, as he is inter-
ested more or less in the project. The
suggestion was so plausible that SEN
ator hlrichs withdrew his motion.

IN NEED OF HELP.

It was a sultry night in July. He had been sitting up with a sick friend, and With his coat on his arm and misery in his head, now followed his instinct to his suburban home on Walnut Hills. The distant whirr of the night-owPs motor and the pat-pat of his unsteady footsteps were the only sounds that struck his ear. Suddenly he stopped and listened. Wasn't that a sob or moan. as if human being in distress? Every- thing was silent for few seconds. then the mysterious sound was repeated. The hair of the lonesome pedestrian evinced peculiar tendency to stand on end, and his limbs became still shaker than they had been. He looked around. and Just when the grewsome moaning once more broke the stiffness of the night he espied a female figure, all clad in white. on the moonlit front steps of the resi- dence in front of which he had stopped.
 will you please help mel" the woman spoke in a sad and pleadine voice that at once awakened all the accumulated gallantry in our hero. As rapidly as his slightly paralyzed extremities permitted he crossed the front yard ana said to the fair suppII- cant: What can I do for you, mad amp

 But how can get into the house?s
 Why the back door is wide open"
 But if that is the case, why in h. eaven did you sit out here for more than three hours?'

STEPPED FROM 4 NOTING cAn.
Accidentto Rev. 0. DeLyon Nichols, Form
 erly of This City.

Bridgeport, Sept. 6.-Rev. c. DeLyon
 Nichols was considerably shaken ur l last evening by fall from a moving trolley car. He was on his way to re- turn a valuable book to a resident of Stratford. It was a geneology in which he had been researching for his book entitled "A Novel of Blackwelrs Is- land"
 Rev. MT. Nichols had the book in his hand, and, supposing the car had stop ped, stepped off in the dark He was
 thrown violently to the ground, strik- ing on the back of his head with great force. He was dazed and almost un- conscious. For some time he could not speak intelligibly He had on a new suit of West of England cloth,'' which was badly torn and coated with dust. He was assisted to the next car back to this city.
 Upon examination there was found a confusion of the base of the brain. from which he suffered all night Yesterday was the last day of Rev. MT. Nichols vacation. For several Sundays he has been in Newport and expects next Sum- day to return to St. Mary's church New York, where for some time he has been assistant rector.

THE COLOR OF SOAP BUBBLE.

l The extreme thinness of the bubble is indeed wonderful. It is estimated that film in some places is only one three millionths of an inch in thickness ! Probably few of us can conceive of such thinness. Let me express it in another way. The old and the New Testament contains some three mil lions of letters. Now one three mil lionth is such part of an inch as the first letter of the Bible is a part of the sum of all of its letters.
 The bubble, however, is not of equal thickness at all points, and 1t is for this reason that 1t has the various colors. For instance, wherever the film is orange-red it measures about three one- millionths of an inch; where it is blue, eighty e-millionths of an inch; and at point where lemon-yellow is prom inent, about twenty one-millionth of an inch. Perhaps you wonder why the colors change from one part of the soap bubble to another This is because the film of the soap bubble evaporates and grows thinner, but unequally so at different portions A greenish blue with pale rose-red spot near it in- dicates an extreme thinness, and at such a point the film is ready to give way at the least jar.
 You will be glad to know the source Of the beautiful colors. Every one is delighted with them, even if not in terested by the explanation of their origin. We may say that they come from the light. Light gives color to all objects, but not exactly as it does to the soap-bubble. White light from the sun can be broken into the seven colors which we have seen in the rainbow. In that instance the raindrops separate it into its parts. A glass prism will do the same as you may prove by look ing through a glass pendant from a hanging lamp. When the light reaches the surface of the soap-bubble a part is reflected from 1t, and we see images on It's surface as If 1t were curved mirror. Another portion of the light, however, enters the film and is separated 50 that a part of the seven colors are thrown into the bubble and we can see them at various portions of the surface. Another part of the light, after being broken by the film, Is reflected by it's inner surface back to our eyes, so that we see colors at the point where the light enters.-Jacob F. Butcher in St, Nicholas.

DELIGHTFUL EXCURSIONS
Given by the Old Line Steamers Yester-
 day,

day.
 The steamers of the New Haven Steamboat company afforded two de- lightful excursions for several hun dred people yesterday. The steamer Richard Peck arrived here from New
 york at 2:3O p. m., with 1,250 passen- gers, and an hour later the same boat went out on the sound with another large party of New Haven people. A few minutes later the New York party haVlng embarked on the steamer c. H. Northam, Captain Aaron Hardy, were on their return to New York, while a few waited over and went down at mid night on the steamer Peck. The New forkers, however, were given opportu- nifty for trolley ride through the city fifteen cars of the Fair Haven road awaiting the arrival of the boat
 On the afternoon trip of the Peck out on the sound, Captain Ed" Hardy gave the excursionsts a delightful sail Agent Charles I. French had planned the features of the trip with his usual success and was on board to see that the affair was carried out without hitch. He had secured the Old Guard band, which rendered fine selections. Agent French is to be congratulated upon the success of the entire trip.
 The Peck ran over towards the Lone Island shore, thence around Middle Ground light and turning, took the Connecticut shore on the return. The sail up the harbor by moonlight was one of the pleasantest features of the trip. Superintendent Geraty of New York came up with the New York ex- cursion and returned with that party.

The Century Company of New York
have Just published a book written by
Hon. Edmund 7. Dole of Hawaii, the
title of which is "lhe Stand-by.n 1t is
a story of New England life and the
action centers about vigorous fight on
the prohibition question. The hero wins
the name given the story during his
college days when he leads his crew in
an exciting boat race. He becomes the
editor of a reform newspaper and soon
finds himself at the head of the prohi BIZ
ton forces in his city and county. The
battle Is desperate one for the town
was ruled by rich brewer, a man Of
great force Of character, fertile in re-
sources and, aside from his business,
public spirited, generous and popular.
The temperance question is fairly treat
ed, for the autocrat had himself put
down all of the worst abuses, aud the
struggle merely reyolyes about the
matter Of principle and the enforcement
OF existing laws. The romantic element
enters into the story in an attachment
that grows up between the hero and a
daughter Of the brewer. Mr.. Dole is u
cousin of Sanford +. Dole, president of
Hawaii. and is assistant attorney general
OF that republic. We presume he is Il
native of Maine. The announcement is
made that the story is founded upon
fact. Had the author confined himself a
little closer to the historical facts con
nected with the Maine law in very few
particulars in his book, his now intense
ly interesting story would have been
stronger. The location of brewery in
Maine since the prohbitory law went
into operation, is of course, Inconsistent
with fair representation of the situa-
tioA, but the book, while presenting no
new phases to men of Maine who have
! had experience in enforcement of this
law, is worthy of careful perusal.
