Here they found six men in blue uni

moved aside as the king approached.
"These men are the municipal po-

hand On the gold frame of the glass;
"They are watching the CITY," And
when the strangers drew nearer they
were surprised to see reflected, in the
deeply concave glass, the entire city IN

buildings and moving populace. And
what seemed to be the most remarkable
feature of the invention was that the in

deep, well modulated voice, and when
they haG arisen he inspected them crit
ically, his eyes lingering Oh Thorndyke.
"Yon look as if you take life easily.

cordially.
Thorndyke returned his smile and at

"There is no use in taking it any 9TH

the quick witted reply of the English
man.

smiled. $50 you like our country?"
Absolutely charmed. My friend

Thorndyke's stout heart suffered a
sudden pang at the words, but he did not
change countenance in the slightest. for
the king was closely watching the effect
OF his announcements.
"Of course" went on the ruler,
gratified by the indifference Of the Eng

the royal party now rested on the
strangers, and it was hard for them to
appear unconscious of it. A great crowd
was slowly filling the room, and an or
chestra in a balcony on the left of the
dais began to make delightful music on
instruments the strangers had never be-
fore seen. After an enhancing prelude
a sound of singing was heard, and far
up in grand dome, lighted like the
one the captives had just admired over
the central court of the place, they saw
a bevy of maidens, robed in white,
moving about in midair, apparently un-
supported by anything.

"There goes the sunlight again, F"
cried Johnston. "By Jove, it IS bluer"
The transition was sublime. They
seemed transported to some other scene.
The great multitude, the elegantly
dressed attendants about the throne, the
courtiers, the beautiful women, all
seemed to change i'll appearance. On the
view through the wide doors leading to
the conservatory and the great swarm
ing court beyond the soft blue light fell
like filny veil CT enchantment.
"Wonderful!' exclaimed the Ameri-
can.
''It is ahead of our clocks anyway"
tested ThornGyke. "Any child that can
count on, it's fingers could tell that this
is the fifth hour Of the day. .
The music grew louder. There was a
harmonious blare of mighty trumpets,
the clang of gongs and cymbals, and
then the music softened until it could
scarcely be heard. There was commo-
tion about the throne.
The king was coming. Every person
on the dais stood motionless, espectant.
A page drew aside the rich curtain from
door on the right, and an old man,
wearing a robe of scarlet ornamented
with Jewels and crown set with spar
king gems, entered and seated himself
on the throne. The music sank lower.
So soft did it become that the tinkling
bells of the great fountain outside could
be heard throughout the room.

Able In Marvellous Degree to Adapt
Itself to Its Surroundings.
1t is a familiar fact that fishes can
change their colors at will Many fishes
make remarkable changes. Free swim
ming fishes most commonly preserve
their normal colors, though these fishes
can change. The fishes that change most
are the bottom feeders. For their own
protection from other fishes that would
prey upon them and the better to enable
them themselves to capture food these
change their colors to match the bottom
they are on so as to make themselves
invisible. They do this often to degree
that seems extraordinary.
In one of the smaller salt water tanks
at the New York aquarium there are a
number Of small fiatfish. The bottom of
the tank is covered with coarse gravel.
The great bulk of the gravel is COM
posed of pebbles of brownish white,
sort of pale iron rust color. Scattered
in this are pebbles of deeper tinge,

marvellous. They are of notified brown,
like the colors of the gravel, and the
smallest of the fatfish is the most
wonderful. They are all thin and lie

Trying a Dead Man.

1t is probably an unusual thing in
any country for a court to sit in judg-
ment on the dead, but in Berlin letter
to the Chicago Record an account is
given of trial in which the accused
was dead man.
1t was not his first trial. That had
taken place in his lifetime, and it's re-
suit had been a sentence of imprison-
ment for IS months. The delinquent
was bureau chief in the tax office Of
Schweidnitz, Silesia, and it was proved
that he had embezzled funds and forged
documents. Soon after his sentence,
however, he showed signs of unsettled
reason, and at length died a maniac.
His widow, anxious to clear his mem
DRY from the stain that rested upon it,
had the case reopened and proved by
expert testimony that her husband had
been demented at the time he commit
ted the crime.
Thus occurred the peculiar circum-
stance of dead man on trial The trial
resulted in the reversal of the former
sentence, the court pronouncing the de-
ceased not guilty.

ONCE THEY WE'RE MEDIUMS.
Now They Expiate Their Sins by Tossing
Balls of Blue Fire.


Close by the Northwestern tracks at
Leavitt street is the home of the jug
Cling sisters" They were twin presti-
digitators in their days of life, SO runs
the tradition, and now they toss balls
Of blue fire about as the juggler does
eggs, cannon balls and the like. Their
pet amusement is to stand on their
heads and toss the balls as if they were
standing afoot. The force Of gravity
seems to be reversed for their benefit
for they ''toss'' the balls of fire down,
and the little flames fall" up. All this
is set down just as James MacCourtney,
the Oldest settler in the neighborhood,
tells it. He said the other day:
"Them broad windys over there on
the north side of the old building is the
place where the sisters comes to show
themselves. The year of the Worlds
fair counted up their performances, an
they come every 56 days. The reason
fer that is somethin l could never guess,
but some smart young chap here fig
gered out that it was always in the
dark of the moon. I've noticed since
that there never was no moonlight when
they got up there in the windys.
whats the cause of their hauntin
the old place? Why, sir, the story's so
old there can t no truth nor lie be made
out on it. There's no man in these dig
gins longer'n be, an I ken the story
only by hearsay, so to speak. 1 heerd it
from my granddaddy, an he said he heerd
it when he was young man comm
here. That mus "a ben in the thirties
Onnyways he sed that the two sisters
was persdiditaters. 1t seems like they
give performance i'll the house, which
was new then in course, an the pair of
them agreed ter be locked up in box
tibet was to be sealed an fastened, an
then they was to get out without break
in the seals. Well, they was locked up
but they couldn' t get out, an purity soon
they foun themselves so short of breath
they couldn't holler loud enough to be
herd. In course they was in a room
away from the other people, SOS the
common folk couldn't see how the trick
was turned. When they couldn' boiler,
they tried rappin, an the others only
thought they was aworkin out of the
box an so didn't pay attention. After
an hour or so the other peoples got nerv-
Gus an went in an opened the box, an
there was the two sisters, cold dead.
They buried 'em together in the box in
the yard back of the house, an that's
why they juggles the fire balls upside

A RUSE BOTH WAYS.
How an Actress and Doctor Were Pooling
Each Other.


Each Other.
In French theaters the doctor of the
theater has seat given him for every
performance. He must be there every
evening. Naturally, after he has seen
the same piece score of times be longs
10 be elsewhere and prefers to give his
Eeat to some of his friends. M. Ernest
Blum says that when he was young
man friend, the doctor of the Theatre
Porte st. Martin, gave him his seat.
Just as he was becoming interested in
the first act the stage manager rushed
up-the heroine had nervous attack
and required medical aid Blum had
nothing else to do but to follow him.
In the lady's dressing room he found
the manager with anguish depicted on
every feature and the lady wringing
hcr hands and shrieking.
"Now, doctor, quick What's to be
done?"
Blum grew as red as lobster, and
as he could not say anything he just
calculated: "Hm! Let us see Let us
see.
He took the lady's hand in wild at
tempt to feel her pulse. She shrieked
more than ever and writhed like a
snake.
"Have you poured any water on her
head?" he asked.
eyes"
"And no effect?''
"None. p"
"Then don't pour any more"
After this display of medical knowl-
edge he continued:
"Give her a sniff of eau de cologne. :"
Haven't any, was the answer.
CITIZEN go fetch some. :"
Off rushed the manager and the stage
manager, and Blum was left with his
patient.
Suddenly she opened her eyes and
smiled.
doctor, =" she said, "you are a good
fellow, aren't your"
eyes, ma 'mselle. "
"You must be, doctor. Now listen.
There is nothing the matter with me.
You would have found that out soon. I
want couple of days off. Can't you
manage it?'
"Delightedr' he replied joyfully.
"Now, ma mselle, you're a good fell
low too. I am not doctor. l came in
Oh the doctors ticket, so you must not
give him away"
By this time the manager and stage
manager came back, each with bottle
of eau de cologne. He told them that it
was unnecessary now. The lady was
quite composed and could appear with
out any danger. But she must have a
few days rest. They made wry faces,
but granted the holiday. Philadelphia
