Energy From Volcanic Heat.

The energy stored i'll the coal beds
has rightly been referred back to the
sun, and it is no doubt to the same
source that we should ultimately attrib-
ute the heat Developed at great depths
below the surface of the earth. While
it is believed that no practical attempts
to utilize this subterranean heat have
vet been carried into effect, there ap-
pears to be no good reason why the at
tempt should not be made, especially III
volcanic regions, where quite high tenn
peratures should be revealed at moder-
ate depths.
In Colorado mining town an inter-
esting combination was recently OBJ
served which a little ingenuity might
have converted into considerable
source of power. Within 20 feet OF each
other were two springs, one OF tenn
perature of nearly 900 degrees f. and
the other not over so, the flow of each
being very uniform and the temperature
quite constant. The theoretical efficiency
might readily be determined from the
we'll known law of thermodynamics,a ana
| the use Of one stream to vaporlze and
the other to condense some volatile
| LIQUID, such as ammonia or blsulphide
of carbon, might enable fair percen'
tage of the energy to be utilized which
is now running to waste. --Cassler

A RECOLLECTION.

II was indeed q perfect day.
scarce recall the weather.
But autumn calm and bloom Of May
Seem mingled there together.
Then melody made sweet the hours,
Each sentence was ballad,
The rocks were jewels, weeds were MOWERS
When Mary dressed the salad.
No vernal scene whose Establishment
Will welcomely beset us
Can have the fascination lent
By that small sprig OF lettuce,
And vainly must musicians toll
From stage or festal wagon
For tones like those with which the oil
Came lettering from the fiagon.
Strange how these merchant chemists mar
Each once alluring SAVIOR!
How tasteless Is the vinegarl
How dull the peppers iavori
Outlines when sterncr moods are planned
Those memories come pressing
That salad day, the sunshine Qnd

KNOW THEIR POWERS.
The Eternal womanly In the Rough Girls
of New York.


In the girls of the rougher tenement
house districts the eternal womanly
wears such disguise OF the eternal
gamin that it cannot always be recog-
nized. Their pertness and sauciness are
only sharpened by their precocity and
their tomboy habits of street Arabia.
A reporter recently had occasion to visit
lower Washington street to ascertain
the facts regarding the murder OF boy
down there. He was obtaining his IN
formation from the boys of the neigh
borhood, who might have been play
mates of the dead youth. A circle OF
them, together with three or four girls
of 10 or l6 years, was gathered around
him.
A big, hulking youth about 30 years
| old arrogated to himself the place OF
spokesman. He was evidently the ty-
rant, the bully Of the street, young
"Bill the Brute" who had not yet &C.
CURED a wife to beat and was conse-
ouently an object of great interest to
these misses, whose skirts had not yet
grown down to their ankles. With his
big, harsh voice he silenced every inter
ruption of his tale, saying:
"Shut up therel I'm tellin this yarn. y
OF course this adjuration, which
forms part of the ordinary courtesy o.
the neighborhood, did not quiet the
girls. They chaffed him and the report
er and giggled until at last the speaker
said to the reporter:
Don't mind them. They're N
count. They're nothin but girls. y
"Of course he'll mind us, smarty,
instantly retorted one OF the girls
"Wes the makin's of ladies. !"

Dn Maurier Heroines.

When Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett
was first presented to Du Maurier, who
was, in point Of fact, rather an under
sized man, she exclaimed:
ooh, am so glad that you are not
six feet tall''
"But why?" asked Du Maurier.
because for these many months, ="
replied Mrs. Burnett, who is consider
ably below medium height, "you have
simply denied us the right to live. You
have made us feel that woman who is
not six feet tall has not the right to
exist"
ooh, that is only trick Of mineP'
laughed Du Maurier. II have started
again and again to make my heroine a
