Morality in Monkeys.

A recent number of the Revue Scien-
tifique contains an article on systems
of morality in monkeys, by NJ. Eugene
Mouton, from which it appears that
eighty-six years ago his grandfather in
Guadeloupe, had a monkey of surpris-
ing intelligence. She showed much af-
lection for the other animals of the
house, especially a goat, which used to
come home from the pasture of an
evening so full of thorns that she was
unable to lie down. The goat went to
seek the monkey, who patiently
plucked out the thorns, to the number
of two or three thousand as a rule,
without drawing a hair or pricking
her own fingers. According to NJ.
Mouton, this was an act Of charity in
spired at once by sentiment and rea-
soning, and repeated daily; in short,
a moral act" But as if to prove
that the old Jacko was not dead in
her, the monkey, after performing this
good deed, used to tease the goat un-
mercifully, plucking her beard, pulling
out her hairs, poking her in the eyes
etc., the goat evidently taking this an
noyance in good part, as the price of
her deliverance from the prickles, or
else regarding it as part of the zen
eral performance. NJ. Mouton remarks
that traces of conscience, and sense Of
responsibility, repentance or remorse,
have been observed hundreds of times
in animals, but this particular case
seems to show that certain individuals.

"A Geological Marvel.

A marvel of geology that has re-
manned strangely unknown is pos
sessed by Greece at Argostoli, in the
island of Cephalonia. At this point
four currents of water set in from the
sea and sink into the limestone Of the
cliffs, giving an anomalous water pow
er that in the middle Of the century
was used for driving two grist mills.
The fall from sea level to the surface
OF the discharge pits is three feet to
five feet. Allowing a flow of 1000 Gu
bic feet per minute to be necessary to
drive the mills, Profs. F. w. and w. O..
Crosby find that the annual consump-
ton of water must have been 1000, 0OO,-
700 cubic feet, which would fill a
chamber about five miles long, 1000
feet wide and Is feet deep. AS the
flow seems to have been uninterrupted
and fairly uniform for a century, per-
haps for many centuries, it can not be
ing a fissure. Other theories-such as
evaporation in the porous rock or on
encOuntering volcanic fires-are also
unsatisfactory, and Profs. Crosby have
reached the new conclusion that the
water returns to the surface after be-
ing heated, the difference in density be-
tween the cold water entering the I'M
derground channel and the warm water
emerging being sufficient to account
for a difference in height that would
enable the warm column to empty into
the sea while the cold column is de-
pressed below sea level.

is elected.
Mr.. B.-Never gives money, ask for

favors baptisms and first communions.
Get yourselves reclothed from head to

on thee again.
thou'rt sold, my Arab sreed!
Fret not with hat impatient hoof-
snuff not the breezy wind;
The furthest that thou fliest now, SO
far am I behind;
The stranger hath thy bride rein-thy
master hath his gold
Fleet limbed n beautiful, farewell!
thou'rt sold, my Steed-thou'rt
Farewell! those free untired limbs full
many a mile must roam,
TO reach the chill and wintry sky which
clouds the strangers home;
Some other hand, less fond, must now
thy corn and bread prepare;
The silky name l braided once must be
another's care!
The morning sun shall dawn again, but
never more with thee
Shall gallop through the desert paths,
where we were wont to be;
Evening shall darken on the earth; and
o'er the sandy plain
Some other steed, with slower step,
shall bear me home again.
Yes, thou must go! the wild free breeze,
the brilliant sun and sky,
Thy masters home-from all of these
my eXiled II must fly;
Thy proud dark eye will grow less
proud, thy step become less fleet,
And vainly shalt thou arch thy neck
thy masters hand to meet.
nly in sleep shall I behold that dark
y glancing bright,
Only in sleep shall hear again that step
so firm and light;
n when I raise my dreaming arm to
check or cheer thy speed,
linen must | starting wake to feel
thou'rt sold, my Arab steed.
All! rudely then, unseen by me, some
cruel hand a chide,
Till Commentaries lie, like crested
waves, along thy painting side;
And the rich blood within thee sWells
in thy indignant pain,
Till careless eyes which rest on thee
may count each started vein.
Will they ill-use thee? If l thought
but no, it cannot be;
Thou art so swift, yet easy curbed; SO
gentle, yet so free;
And yet, if haply, when thou'rt gone,
my lonely heart shall yearn,
Can the hand which casts thee from it
o command thee to return?
Return! alas, my Arab steed! what
shall thy master do,
When thou who vert his all Of JOY hast
vanished from his view?
When the dim distance cheats mine eye
and through the gathering tears
Thy bright form for a momen like the
1dlSe mirage appears
Slow and unmOunted will | roam, with
weary feet, alone,
Where with fleet step and joyous bound
thou oft has borne me on;
And sitting down by the green we'll, I'll
pause and sadly think,
1T was here he bowed his glossy neck
when last I saw him drink!'
When last I saw thee drink!-away! the
fevered dream is DER;
1 could not live a day and know that we
should meet no more.
They tempted me, my beautiful! For
the power of gold is strong,
They tempted me-, my beautiful! but I
have loved too long.
Who said that I had given thee up?
Who said that thou vert sold?
IT'S false!-'tis false, my Arab steed! I
fling them back their gold!
Thus, thus, I leap upon thy back, and
scour the distant plains;
Away! who overtakes us now shall
claim thee for his pains!

The Greece of Today Creation
of the PhantOmS of the Past

The Greek nation of today is a fact
created by a tradition-an aggressive
fact, because it is the product OF a SPLEEN
did tradition.
1t is said that when the Persian host
sent by Xerxes to sack the shrine at
Delphi mounted to the attack, gigantic
spectres Of ancient heroes rose in the
ranks of the little band of defenders,
and the dead fought beside the living
to repel the foes of their country. These
phantom warriors still fight for Greece
in all her battles; and it is no eXaegeratiOn
to say that this army of ghosts is more
effective for her protection than oil the
costly armament that she has IMPOVERISHED
herself to maintain. 1t is simple truth
that here the shades Of the past have called
the present into being.
Not that Greece herself is a ghost
she is entenseIy alive. But she affords
q TN ique example OF nation lifted
from its grave by the magic of a senti-
ment, after a seeming death-sluInber of
many centuries 1t has often appeared
that Of all reasons sentim entail reasons
are the strongest, but history can scarcely
show another instance such this. No
where else, indeed, have such conditions
existed. The case OF Italy probably
comeSneaIest; yetItaly however depressed,
could never be called dead, and Rome
through all her vicissitudes, has never
wholly lost her greatness or ceased to be
a seat Of power.

triflc inferior to the New York :, 1t is
infinitely more modern
However the United States naval Off
GERS, comparing the fighting strength OF
the Carlos, the Brooklyn, and the New
York, Ike into consideration what seems
to most people only superstition-the Brook
lyn's bad luck. This latter vessel is for
ever meeting with some accident, and the
officers say tnat if She ever did get into
a real fight. She would he sure TO become
disabled at a critical moment.
There is in the Spanish navy also one OF
the finest types of the modern armored
cruiser 1t is the Infanta Maria Theresa.
She represents fleet OF eight cruisers
OF her won sort which fly the Spanish
flag. Her armament consists OF two 8
and I5-1oO guns IN barbettes and ten ) $40
inch rapid firers. For protection she has
a belt at the water line twelve inches
thick along the central body of the ship.
Twelve inches is the thickness of the
barbette armor.
The nearest approach that we have to
this class of war vessel is found in the
Maine or the Texas, whose tonnage is
1000 and 6, 500, respectively. The
Maine has four 10-inch guns in turrciS
ten inches thick, and the latter has two
Pinch guns in turretS ten inches thick
Both have six 6-inch guns in their main
batteries These are the Sc cond-class
battleships, but, to tell the truth. they are
not the equals of the armored cruisers of
Spain. The only prototypes Of these YES
sells are found in the English navy.
There is one point Of advantage ~
have over Spain, and that is in our rams
and monitors. While every modern warship
is posses ssed of Il ram, we have in the
Katahdin a vessel which is built for moth
ing else, but sinking her Prov into an un-
lucky foe. The Katahdn is not a very
big vessel as warships go, for her Tonnage
is only 2.2oO, but she could knock the
spots Off the best warship that was ever
constructed, armored or unarmored, if
only gwen half a chance.
Then there are our five douhle-turreted
monitors. of which the most powerful is
the unlucky Puritan. of 5000 tons. just
how efficient boat the Puritan is can
hardly he said al present, for it was only
a few days ago that she came tagging into
port. the end of her hawser stretching
away from the stern of the cruiser Co
lumEia. When the Puritan went down to
Charleston to run the blockade she was
wellnigh swamped in the great storm, and
this fact, together with her latest acci-
dent, makes naval authorities rather
hesitaut about fixing the extent of her
powers.
Besides the Puritan, there is the Terror,
the Amphitrte, the Monadnock and the
Miantonomah. They are about half the
Puritan's size. Their armor is II inches
thick, and their guns are IO-inch pieces. or
course, the monitor is prc-eminently

harbor work this craft is un-
surpassed. The monitor is very

sons invention had its famous duel with
the Merrimac. In fighting strength and
in defensive power it is several hundred
