Monkey ON o wheel.

There is very popular monkey at
the geological gardens Of the Prater
at Vienna, and she Is much admired.
Miss Maja has an exquisite bicycle,
which she rides to perfection, initiating
to q nicely oil the movements Of
cyclists. She jumps into the saddle
without touching the pedals, kisses
her hand to everybody, while she
waits for the signal, then fits of at
splendid pace. From the wheel she
jumps on q trapeze and then on the
wheel again before II can fall. When
she has shown oil her arts and graces
she claps her hands, calling upon the
public to applaud. She thanks prettily
for applause by bowling and putting
her handto her heart.
The monkey has not been trained at
all--only made to look on while men
and women cycled. She has taught
herself everything without any ones
help. When money Is given to her
she runs to her nurse, takes her purse
and puts IL in. II has been proposed
to let her have one OF the many cycling
medals distributed in Vienna, but the
societies refuse to give IL TO her.

An Invisible Monkey.

There are many animals, especially
birds and insects, which mimic in
their colors and shapes the natural
objects amid which they dwell, and
thus frequently escape the eyes Of
their enemies. but, as DIR. Lydekker
says in knowledge, "Until quite 70.
Gently no case was known where O
monkey, for The sake OF protection,
resembled in form or coloration either
some other animal or an inanimate
object" Such monkeys were discov.
cred by DR.. j. W. Gregory during his
recent journey in East Africa. Near
relatives Of the monkeys seen by him
have long been known to naturalists
and have excited surprise by the bril-.
liant contrast of+the black fur cover.
ing their body and limbs with the
snow-white mantle Of long, silky hair
hanging from their shoulders and the
equally white plumes on their tails.
The contrast, DR.. Gregory found,
serves to render the animals practi-
cally invisible, for the trees which they
inhabit have Mack stems aud are
draped with pendant masses OF gray.

The Rival Boppers.


Beneath q tree with spreading boughs,
On margin OF pool,
A bloated frog croaked merrily,
Famed by the breezes cool.
His vls-a-vis grasshopper
Upon tho other shore,
Whose famous leaps are chronlcled
In books OF childish lore.
Now both were hoppers OF renown;
The one that was so thin
Sent swift challenge to the frog
To jump-and see who'd win.
A twinkle shone In froggie's eye,
He answered with q wink;
Then both shot upward In the air,
And then-what do you thinkp
Why, froggie settled down again
Beneath a toadstool gray,
Ready for other bits as sweet
That CHANGED along his way.
For crafty was the heart that beat
Beneath that notified coat;
He timed his leap so grasshopper
Jumped right down froggies throat.

LIABILITY FOR SEA HORROR.

Captain OF the william Brown Convicted
of Forcing Passengers Overheard.
Since the terrible fate that befell the
passengers on board the French steam
or La Bourgogne much speculation
has arisen as to the liability Of the
French crew under the charges
brought against them in connection
with the sinking Of the ship. II is
we'll settled that the law In England
and the United States is adverse to
the crew.
The leading American case is that
Of the people against Holmes, which
was tried in Philadelphia by the bril-
liant lawyer, David Paul Brown, as
prosecuting attorney. The story is
an interesting one. The ship William
Brown sank OF Nova Scotia In March,
1S41. The passengers and crew over
loaded the boats. After drifting for
several days storm came up, making
IL evident that the overloaded boat
which Holmes commanded would be
swamped and oil lost Under these
circumstances he gave the order to
tighten the boat Twelve passengers
were thrown overheard, and two sis.
ters voluntarily jumped into the sea.
The remainder Of the passengers in
the boat and the crew we're saved and
brought to Philadelphia. Holmes
was indicted and tried. In his de.
fence the above circumstances were
shown and additional evidence ad-
mitted that Holmes was one Of the
most active in saving the passengers
and getting them In the boat; that OF
the risk Of his life he had personally
saved several. Nevertheless Holmes
was convicted, and the United States
court sustained the conviction on the
ground that the contract OF the sailor
bound him TO use every means in his
power, even to the sacrifice Of his own
life, to deliver each passenger at the
port for which he shipped.
The point OF jurisdiction vas raised,
when it was held that the flag con-
verified the ship aud her apparel, in.
Guiding the boats, into national terri
tory. As to acts done in the waters
OF the high seas, 1t was further held
that the, contract controlled as to the
sailors. The court also held that as
to the same acts done between pas.
sengers on the high sens different
rule prevailed; in the absence Of inter.
national law as TO them they owed no
duty to one another; they were, from
the moment Of leaving the ship, re.
mitted to their natural rights, and the
law Of self.preservation prevailed.
Much sympathy throughout the
country was manifested for Holmes in
this case from its purely doctriual law,
aud, its being case Of first impress.
sion, his sentence was committed to
Imprisonment. After 10 months he
was released, but the principle that
the sailor owed duty to passengers,
even to the sacrifice OF his own life,
was established

How the Car Played with Dolls.

How the Car Piayed with Dolls.
As every one knows, NJ. Faure was
bearer Of some extraordinary dolls to
the little Grand Duchess Olga when
he went TO St Petersburg recently;
but now comes the story OF the recep-
ton given them by the czar himself.
The baby grand duchess, II seems,
was not more entranced than her
august father with these sweet dollies,
who carried on squeaky dialogue as.
between mother and child. But, after
an hour passed In their society. nurse
was obliged to take tho little princess
to bed, aud, the emperor was then left
alone with the two clever artificial
ladies. In an adjoining room the en-
press, M. Faure, and some ladies and
gentlemen OF the court were talking,
when suddenly o strange noise, like
that Of an Internal machine, was heard,
followed by loud exclamation.
Everybody rushed to see what IL
was. There was the ear, safe and
sound, but with dismal face, looking
at the dolls, which he had partly up
dressed to find out the secret hidden
in their bosoms, while the dolls were
chattering away as though they would
never stopl
The gentle empress quite lost her
temper. Snatching up the carpeted
board on which the ladies were stand
ing, she gave II TO gentleman near
her. ''Please take IL away" she
cried. ''It is too bad, indeed; the
emperor spoils everything lie touches"
But as "Nicky" looked very penitSht
aud the situation was so funny she
could not help laughing, '"You see
how IL is" said the emperor. ~ am

How Bees rlnd Their dinners.

Learned men who are interested In
the study Of plants and insects have
been long trying to find out how bees
know just what flowers will afford
them honey. 1t has been thought
that the colors guided them to the
honey bearers A foreign professor
who has been Watching the bees in
his own garden contradicts this idea
very strongly. He says that tho bees
are guided TO the flowers largely by
their sense Of smell. To discover
whether the colors Of flowers exerted
any attraction the bright petals Of
some single dahlias, lobelias, evening
primroses, foxgloves and other flowers
were covered with bits Of green leaf or
removed altogether, but in every case
the flowers were found TO be freely
visited. No special distinction was
made by the insects between the mutt
lated flowers and those that were
whole. When, however, the nectary
or honey bearing parts Of flowers were
removed. while the colored petals re.
NAMED, the insects neglected these
4ewers On the other hand, the scarlet
geranidm and other scentless flowers,
which are seldom il ever visited by
insects on account OF the absence Of
honey, Immediately became centres Of
attraction when little honey or nectar
was placed upon them. The young
readers OF this column can verify or
disprove this by their own expert.

Archbishop Ryan has issued a letter to
reetors of all the Catholic churches in this
diocese, in which he says: "As you and your
people are aware, the Third Plenary Counci
of Baltimore directed that an annual collec
tion be taken in all the churches of the
country for the proper support Of our Holy
Father the Pope, and in order to help meet
the great expenses of the administration of
the Universal church, The pressing need of
protectory for wayward boys in this diocese
obliged US to postpone this collection until the
present time. But now we should be the
more generous in our offerings and should
express by this generosity our nial sympathy
with the Pouttf in his present trials"

largest coal deal ever made in this
center Of the bituminous coal regions
was effected yesterday. The North
western Mining and Exchange COM
pany, which has been operating for
the past quarter Of a century in Elk

the deal places them on an equal foot

with the Rochester and Pittsburg and
the Berwind- White companies The
tract acquired by the Northwestern
adjoins and lies directly south Of their
place in Jefferson and Clearfeld coun-
