In the twilight long ago.
And the merry brook, as Il softly purls
It's song in the summer air,
Calls up from the past the boys and girls
AT play in the meadows fair.

than in effect, but it is spelling the sale
of the oysters. The high tides have
drifted seaweed in large quantities up
the rivers and creeks. Owing to recent

and the oysters feeding on it have be-
come green gilled." One firm which
has been shipping 25 or 30 barrels day
is now shipping none at all.
The people of Lynnhaven river and

MANS VITAL FORCE.

Alleged Results of Experiments by a
French Scientist.
DR.. Baraduc, French scientist, has
just made public the results of his ex-
periments to obtain exact knowledge
in regard to the vital force of human be-
ings. He claims that by means of pho
Biography he has at last been enabled to
measure and register the volatile mat
ter of which every living being is con-
stantly ridding itself. On the plates
were impressed all sorts of luminous
points, varying according to the condi-
tion of the subject, says the Pail Mall
Gazette.
by this method" says DIR. Baraduc,
"the moral condition Of the individuals
can easily bs diagnosed, for is fact
that whenever sick or exhausted per-
sons are photographed, their bodies at
tract toward them the strong forces
of nature. In the case Of harmless
person of moderate intelligence the lu
minous points assume the form of
handful Of hailstones which have been
violently thrown together and again
scat tered, whereas in the case of a man
of dominant character they assume
the graceful form of pearl. l oper-
ated some time ago on a lady who was
suffering with gastric trouble. She had
in vain consulted % physicians, and be-
fore coming to me she had taken to
prayer rs her last resource. I photo
graphed her body, and the luminous
points were plainly visible, most not
able being pointed jet of flames which
appeared on her forehead.
My experiments satisfy me that man
lives in an atmosphere of light, and is
surrounded by an atmosphere so pc
culiar and unique that it is well worth
while for scientists to spend time IN
an attempt to analyzc it. Only by con-
tinuous and progressive work can we
obtain real ligh; in regard to vital
force"

Remarkable Magnetic Developments
Recent French experiments have de-
yeloped the curious and unexpected fact
that certain persons possess a magnetic
polarity-that is. they act as magnets,
having north and south poles. Such a
person, when completely undressed and
placed near sensitive galvanometer,
will, when turned on vertical axis,
cause detection first in one direction
and then in the opposite, just as a mag
net would. All persons do not possess
this polarity. Prof. Murani, an italian,
uponwhom the experiment was tried,
exhibited this phenomenon, and it was
found that his breast corresponded to
u north pole and his back to south

CYCLING AND NEArNess.
Moth sexes Careless About Personal
Apncnrnnce While Riding.


Appearance While Riding.
Much of the adverse criticism coming
from the nonriding public on the gen.
Iernlly slouchy, down-at-the-hcel APP
pearance of many cyclists Of both sexes
is merited by n woeful disregard of the
lconventionalities of dress. 1t would
seem to be no more difficult for cyclist
TO be attractively attired than for golf
ier, an equestrian, n driver or any other
person appearing before the public eye.
Yet it is fact that no class of persons
$50 we'll deserve censure for untidy APP
lpearance as riders of the wheel. OF
course, there are eNtenunting circum-
stances always, but in this case the eX
ceptions are lost sight of in the over
whelming number of opposite cases.
And right here it may be said for Phil
adelphin cyclists that they are the best
dressed, generally speaking, to be found
lin either hemisphere, those of Paris
mot excepted, says the Press of that
city.
Perhaps In measure the great haste
at which articles of apparel have been
turned out during the last two years
to accommodate the demand of the APP
parent fad may account somewhat for
the ill-fitting appearance of the clothes
worn by many who may not be fnan-
cially able to have their suits made for
them. But even if this be so, it is no
excuse for the riders to intrude in pub
lie places with unwashed and foul
sweaters and grease-stained riding trou-
,sers. Diners in public places have had
this sort of thing to contend with. and
they are getting tired of it. Careless
ness on the part of the riders is large
E responsible for this state of affairs.
Time and rebukes will one day have
their reward. The tendency is for i'm
provement, and those who aim TO look
well when a-wheel hope it will hurry
to the point where all well-meaning
people will be found presentable in
their cycling clothes.
