Saved Against His Will.

Another V. G. Of my acquaintance
he is anything but doctor-once saved
a trooper whose horse had been killed.
His argument was rather original. The
man was on foot, and the enemy-Zulus
this time, and they are beautiful fight
ers-were coming down at run, and
he said very decently that he did not
see his way to periling his officers life
by double weighing the only horse
there was.
To this his officer answered, "If you
don't get up behind me, I'll get off and
I'll give you such licking as you've
never had in your life." The man was
more afraid of fists than assegais, and
the good horse pulled them both out of
the scrape. Now, by the regulations an
officer who insults or threatens with
violence subordinate Of his service is
liable to lose his commission and to be
declared incapable of serving the
queen in any capacity" but for some
reason or other the trooper never report
ed his superior. r.-Rudyard Kipling in

BrOnzinR.

The following method is recommend
ed for bronzing objects of copper, for
example, medals: Dissolve parts of
verdigris (acetate of copper) and 1 part
Of sal ammoniao in vinegar. Boil the
solution, skim it and dilute with water
until it no longer possesses a feebly
metallic smell nor produces whitish
precipitate on the addition of water.
Then let it boil again III an earthen-
ware or porcelain vessel and transfer it
while boiling into another vessel con-
tanning the perfectly clean medals, etc.,
and place the whole on the fire. AS
soon as the medals assume the required
color remove them and wash carefully
in clean water. The objects must not
be left too long in the acid bath over
the fire. because the layer Of oxide
would become too thick and would
easily scale off the surface, whereas, if
the operation is properly conducted. the
coating adheres SO firmly that it cannot
bs separated even by scraping.
OF course, it is only after certain
number of trials and with experience
that the exact moment can be ascer-
tanned for removing the objects from
the bath. 1t is very necessary that the
bath be not too concentrated, as the su-
perfcial oxide becomes proportionately
less adherent. Moreover, whitish pow
der IS deposited on the medal, which
turns green on exposure to the air and
spoils the appearance Of the bronzing

Edhem Pasha.

Edhem Pasha, though Turk, is far
from being an unspeakable one, if the
reports about him that come from the
war correspondents are to be believed.
They describe the invader Of Thessaly as
a handsome, courteous and well edu-
Gated man, who looks more than his 45
years because his thick beard, once
glossy black, is now thickiy'flecked with
gray. He is above middle height, his
nose is straight and rather long, his
gray eyes are large and intelligent, and
his manner is that attractive mingling
Of amiability with dignity which is a
not uncommon attribute Of the Turk as
seen on ordinary occasions. Edhem does
not strike the superficial observer as
strong man, but he is hard worker
and does not spare himself. His talk is
as a rule quiet, and marked by much
refinement, but it grows animated when
a subject kindles his interest, and his
eyes then glow with enthusiasm. It is
difficult to judge of man s sense of hu-
NOR through the barriers of strange
language. His style Of life is simple
and he has none of the oriental love of
display. In character he seems to be
ightforward and sincere, frank and
truth loving. Trickery, intrigue, di-
plomacy and politics alike he appears
to detest. His subordinates and those
who see him most intimately ere most
fond of him.-New York Times.

Never Saw Mercury.

To most people Mercury is known
chiefly as being very difficult to see, and
to be seen at all it must be looked for
low down in the twilight sky at certain
specified times during certain equally
specified seasons of the year. Seeing
him is enhanced by the rumor that the
great Copernicus died without ever hav-
ing done so.
He is, however, not SO difficult to de-
tect as this probably true fable about
Copernicus has led many to suppose.
Two impediments to Mercury s observa-
ton stood in Copernicus' way-the one
that Copernicus lived very far north,
the other that the mists at the mouth of
the Vistula rose nightly to obscure the
twilight sky. The latter obstacle is as
evident as it made Mercury the reverse;
the former will be none the less appar-
ent when we reflect that the path in
which all the major planets travel is in
northern latitudes greatly bowed to the
horizon. In consequence that patch is
subject for long distance from the sun
to all those atmospheric disturbances
peculiar to the horizon, disturbances
which make observations near it prac-
tically impossible, and the farther north
the greater the difficulty. Atlantic

When the Sea Was Fresh Water.

The ocean was once merely brackish,
and not salt, as it is now. This was
when the earth was in its first youth
and before there was any land showing
at all or any animal life in the water.
At this time the water was gradually
cooling from its original state of steam,
and the salts were slowly undergoing
the change from gases into solids. Then
came the appearance Of land, and later
on rivers which gradually washed down
more and more salts, while at the bot
tom of the ocean itself chemical action
was constantly adding more brine to
the waters. At present it is estimated
there are in the world s oceans z, 900, 900
cubic miles of salt, and the most aston
ishing thing about it is that if all the
salt could be taken out in moment
the level of the water would not drop
one single inch. New York World.

PLACE DE LA CONCORDE.
The Most Famous and Beautiful Square Il
Gay and Vivacious Paris.

The Most Famous and Beautiful Square In
Gay and yivacious Paris.
The most important public square in
Paris and one Of the handsomest in the
whole world is the Place de la Concorde.
In the center rises the obelisk of Luxor,
presented by the pasha of Egypt to Louis
Philippe. 1t is fanked on either side by
large fountain. The Place de Ia Con-
corde seems somewhat wrongly called,
in view Of the history of the spot. One
hundred and fifty years ago it was an
open field, but in 1748 the city accepted
the gracious permission Of Louis XIV to
erect statue to him here. The place
then took his name and retained it till
the new regime, in 1889, melted down
the statue and converted it into 2 cent
pieces.
On the s0th Of May, ITO, during an
exhibition of fireworks here, a panic
took place and 1900 people were tram
pied to death and 2,0OO more were Sc
verely injured. The occasion was the
attempt OF the people to express by a
grand celebration their unbounded joy
at the recent marriage of the young
dauphin with the Austrian princess
Marie Antoinette. On the 21st of Jan
uary, 1898, they gathered here again in
immense numbers to see the head Of the
same dauphin, then Louis XVI, chopped
off by the sharp guillotine. During the
next two years the spot well earned its
title "Place of the Revolution, for the
guillotine had not ceased its work until
Marie Antoinette. Charlotte Corday,
Nine. Elizabeth (the kings sister),
Robespierre and more than 2,SO0 per-
sons had here perished by its deadly
stroke. ke.-Chautauquan

A New New England.

The trolley roads, says Alvan F. San
born in The Atlantic, are rapidly COW
ering Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut with network that is
slowly and surely redistributing the
population. 1t seems almost inevitable
that a great part Of the present rural
area Of these three states will ultimate
ly be included in the suburbs of their
numerous and widely scattered indus
trial centers and of their dozen or more
larger cities. When this condition ar
rives, if it does arrive, rural life will
have become suburban, and farming,
aside from market gardening, will have
practically disappeared. The bicycle and
good roads are exerting minor but
considerable influence in the same di-
rection.
Equally important is the fact that
large areas in all sections of New Eng
land are in process Of transformation
from farms to sites Of country Seats
Residents Of the cities are coming more
and more to make their real homes in
the country. They are building their
country houses with more comfort and
more solldlty, and are living IN them q
much larger part Of the year than
formerly. The country season extends
already from the 1st Of May to the 1st
Of November and is still lengthening.
Improved railway and steamboat trans
portation. the multiplication of large
fortunes, greater leisure, above all
growing appreciation of the sports and
resources of country life, have contrib
uted to this result 1t looks very much
as if our urban society were attaching
itself primarily to the land-iving on
the land and leaving it for the city only
in the festive season. Whether this tend
ency will produce again landed aris-
tocracy instead Of an aristocracy of other
forms of wealth who can say? One
thing only is sure-it would produce
thereby new New England.

The Man and HIS Watch.

The man had lost valuable watch.
1t was case Of pickpocket, he was GER
tain, and he advertised for its return,
Offering the full value Of the watch,
which was worth more than its intrin-
sic value, $3.50, to him, and no ques-
tlons asked. Not long after man ap-
peared at his business Office, showed
him the advertisement, and asked if he
was ready to stand by it, and was as
sured that he was. "Where is your
money!" asked the visitor. "Here it
is" was the answer. "Where is the
watch?" Taking the one handed him,
the victim of the robbery saw with much
delight that it was his own, put it in
his pocket and handed over the $3.50.
But he could not resist the temptation
to ask one question. "Now. when did
you take that watch?" he asked. "Do
you remember" said the visitor,
standing on such day on the corner
OF such street," eyes" "You were
talking with friends?" eyes" And
some one came along and brushed
against you? Well, that was when l
took the watch. l brushed against you
like this his''-illustrating-"and it is very
simple. Good day, SIR" "Good day"
The mans face was alight with pleas
ure at again having his watch and his
Intelligent curiosity was satisfied. 1T
IL a curious thing" he murmured to
himself. II would not have believed it
could have been DONE" He put his
hand to his watch pocket. There was
10 watch there. It had been taken
second time.-New York Times.

BIG GUNS.
The Skill and Machinery Used In Turning
Out the Monsters.

-s~S
Out the Monsters.
Think what one of these guns is. It
is piece Of solid steel weighing about
90 tons. It has a chamber running
nearly its entire length 13 inches in di-
ameter. At the breech Of the gun that
chamber is enlarged to a diameter Of 1b16
inches for 6A feet. The long tube Of
the gun is strengthened by an enormous
band, reaching almost half its length
and called Jacket, and in addition
1t has what is called a hoop or band
with the appliances whereby the gun is
fastened or locked to its carriage. In
side the tube of the gun there are about
30 spiral grooves, which give the pro-
jectile or long bullet twist as it leaves
the gun. That twist causes the projectile
to turn nearly rs times second as 1t
plunges through the air. This projectile
weighs 1, 100 pounds, and it requires no
less than 500 pounds of powder to give
it its full force. Every discharge Of the
gun costs in powder and projectile fully
5000. The cost of one Of these guns is
not far from $1O0, 1000.
~ Aoho Ouo VI Lue60 1mpl6meQCS OF
war requires not only great skill, but
the use Of very costly machinery. Not
only must the steel be cooked in enor-
nous furnaces, but it must be seasoned
as delicately as the most expensive dish
for banquet. Chemistry is called upon
to say just when the metal Of which
the gun is made is of the proper degree
of purity.
Then the steel is cast into long cast
ing When it is cooled, it is forged or
elongated under pressure while hot.
Then it is turned outside and inside on
enormous lathes. Then it is tempered,
SO as to harden the metal and to distrib-
ute the molecules evenly through the
mass to prevent dangerous strains and
bursting when the gun is fred. Then 1t
is turned again outside and inside with
absolute accuracy as to size. Then the
powder chamber is finished, and the
mechanism for the fastening of the
breech block is made. Then the gun is
ready for its carriage, without which,
of course, it could do no work.-Har-

For Success In War.

For success in war the indispensable
complement of intellectual grasp and
insight is moral power which en-
ables man to trust the inner light, a
power which dominates hesitation and
sustains action in the most tremendous
emergencies and which; from the for
midable character Of the difficulties it
is called to confront, is in no men SO
conspicuously prominent as in those
who are entitled to rank among great
oaptains. The two elements-mental
and moral power-are often found sepa-
rately, rarely in due combination. In
Nelson they met, and their coincidence
with the exceptional opportunities af-
forded him constituted his good fortune
and his greatness Captain Mahan's
"Life Of Nelson.
