straight down the column, shaking her

She turned to it and read eagerly.
Then she threw the paper from her.

MacMonnies' Studio In Paris.

Those who expect to find in the studio
of Frederick MacMonnies in Paris a
sumptuous apartment, full Of rare and
costly "objets dart" and hung with
luxurious tapestries and brocades will
be greatly astonished upon beholding
its almost barnlike severity. 1t is a
workshop pure and simple, and it's very
baroness is eloquent of the high and
serious plane on which the sculptor puts
his art. But those who have seen it pro-
nounoe it fascinating for all that. There
is not even floor. One finds himself on
entering on bare, uneven ground. In
one corner is big cage, and inside is a
beautiful wild leopard, continually pac-
ing up and down. MacMonnies is so
fond of animals that he keeps this beast
in his studio for the pleasure of watch
ing the beauty of its stealthy move
ments. Scattered all around are numer-
Gus old casts of finished work, and also
the uncompleted fragments he is now
at work on. Among the former are the
familiar Sir Harry Vane Of the Boston
Public library and the beautiful but IN
fortunate Bacchante, and among the
latter are parts for the colossal groups
for the gateway Of the Brooklyn park,
to which he is now devoting all of his
time.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Life In Mars.

Megamicros as we shall call our man
of the earth transported in his sleep to
the new Mars, wakes up, opens his eyes
and finds himself in bed in his room. All
the things in it are familiar to him-the
furniture, clothes, books and wares are
Just where be had left them overnight.
He does not suspect the trick that has
been played on him. He stretches him
self, throws up his arms, leaps from his
bed, goes to the washstand, lifts the
pitcher, puts on his olothes-and is
greatly surprised.
All these actions are of common
character and consist in raising masses
to certain height. His water pitcher,
for instance. holds two liters, new meas.
ure. On the earth these two liters,
representing two Kilograms, require
certain effort to be raised. say. to tho
height of 80 centimeters. But on Mars
these two liters weigh only two Mar
tian Kilograms, or Is times less in
in earthly weight. Further. be does not

timeters. but of only Is centimeters,
his size being diminished one half, SO
that the work to be performed is reduced
to one-t thirty second. On the other hand,
his strength, which is proportioned to
the volume or the mass of his muscles,
is only reduced TO one-eighth. Conse-
quently the effort he is required to make
is four times less. His water pitcher
seems extremely light, so do his
clothes. He probably remarked the same
thing when ne threw up his arms and
jumped from his bed, but simply
thought he was in unusually good spir-
its.-M. j. Delbeuf in Popular Science

Sinla's Idea of Fun.

One of the most amusing incidents OF
the recent Simla season was the imper.
sonation of two foreign noblemen by
two gentlemen we'll known in Simla So
ciety, one of them posing as the war
correspondent of the Italian paper
Roma. Skillful was the disguise, and so
admirably were their parts kept up that
the two distinguished foreigners spent
the evening with a party in the COM
mander in chiefs box and afterward had
supper on the stage with the actors
without their identity being discovered.
At supper the count appeared to find
the wines of the English more potent
than those of his own country, and the
speechless horror of the mamma when
he commenced to pay marked court to
her daughter very nearly caused the
baron to die of suppressed laughter and
apoplexy. Next day, when the hoax
was discovered, there was some futter-
ing in the dovecots as to what they had
said to the foreign noblemen and what
the wicked count had said to them. The
rest Of Simla roared.-Lahore Civic and

How Gold Was Found on the Klondike

How Gold Was Found on the K1ondike.
"The River Trip to the Klondike" is
described in The Century by John Sid
ney Webb. The author says:
The famous Bonanza creek and the
more famous Ell Dorado creek are very
like ordinary, everyday creeks in ap-
pearance-a little less civilized perhaps
than creeks to be met with in the east.
There are men living in Alaska today
who have hunted moose over these
creeks dozens of times; but, as the old
miners say, there were no surface indi-
cations to lead any one to suppose that
gold might be found in them, so hun
dreds of miners passed by in their boats,
going to Forty Mile and Circle City.
The finding of such gold is always an
accident, and the old hands are usually
the last to realize the truth. "Stiok
George" Cormack and his squaw s rela-
tives camped on the creek for dinner
one day and somehow got to digging
and washed out some gold. He went to
Forty Mile and made claim for discov-
cry, and soon the news spread like wild
