IS 4 NATURAL MUSICIAN.
Twelve. Year-old American Boy
 with Wonderful Talents.
Bis Wonderful Ability in Both Music and Sculpture Is Attracting the Attention of Both Europe
 and America.
fCepyrieht. 1898


 Look. lookl here comes Paderewski," ]" cried a closely cropped youngster to the others of a group of boys that were gathered around George Francis Train as he sat bare headed on one of his favorite seats in Madison Square, New York.
 Everybody looked up and, sure enough, there was miniature copy of the great musicians head surmount- ing the slight figure of small boy less than 12 years old.
 Why do you call him Paderewski? ?" asked one of the new boys.
 What do you suppose, sil1y-1ook at his hairl But that ain't all. You ought to hear him playl Makes up his own tunes, tool"
 This was the boys version of it, but investigation brought out number of other facts quite as interesting. In the first place, he is as handsome as a picture, and here is his own photograph to prove that this is the true story of a real boy. He is such perfect type of all that is artistic that New York sculptors have begged the privilege of modelling his head, and de Yerriere, who has attained a great deal of fame in this country and in France, has suc- ceeded in producing.a very good like

ness of him in clay, which he calls The Major, name which has clung to this child from babyhood. His real name is Alexander St. John Bridge, and thereby hangs a tale of heredity which few of even the oldest American fam flies can tell. For the St. John part of it, which he inherits from his mother, goes away back to Henry Saint John, who afterwards became the great Lord Bolingbroke, of Queen Annes time, and who fled to France upon her death and upon the accession of King George. The famous peer was a great favorite both in his own court and in that of France.
 Besides all this mantle of ancestry, for which the boy can hardly claim any credit, he is really something of . genius in several different lines. All that his youthful admirer of Madison Square said about him was true. He not only plays on piano and organ, but does make his own tunes" and in his mothers apartments at "The Cram mercy" he has a piano and large pipe organ at his disposal.
 (Which do you like best?" asked him.
 "oh, the organ" he said, because there is so much more power in it. It is more like the orchestra, and I love the orchestra, especially when they play Wagner's operas"
 So you go to the opera, do you? Which is your fayorite singer2"
 "Calve, ] believe, though Melba is very fine, too, but like Calve the best"
 His fondness for Calye is partly due to the fact that he was presented to her by Pizzi, who wrote "Gabrielia" for Mme. Patti. Calve had been very much interested in him before she knew who he was, as she had ire quently noticed him in one of the boxes at the opera when she sang.
 His compositions or improvisations are of the sad and sympathetic order, and many of them are very sweet. As yet he has never received any instruc- tion. but has been allowed to develop his talent naturally. At present, he shows great musical ability for boy of his age. If he continues to develop, he may be heard from some day. For the rest, he shows quite decided talents in other directions beside the musical genius, which ought to be enough for one boy. He models in clay with q good deal of skill, writes poetry, and has q strong taste for literature. He is a great favorite with Col. Richard Henry Savage, who calls him the poets dream and the artists inspiration Henry 'le Mile, the deceased playwright, who

holding the balloon captive; four tube wagons and accessories, one service wagon, gas generating apparatus, a compressor for impounding gas in tubes, and 180 steel tubes in which gas is compressed to one one-hundredth of one one-hundred and twentieth of it's volume.
 So far as the weather service and balloons are concerned, the combina- ton is growing in importance every day. Within year it is hoped to have a chain of balloon stations extending from Washington to the Rocky noun tains. These will be erected gradually, but when they are all complete, the weather department at Washington will be in better position to tell what the weather is going to be than it has ever been before.
 At the present time the balloon Is used with signal service operators in it, but this is not the method that will ordinarily be utilized in securing observations. An automatic instrument has been invented which, when set after the fashion of an alarm clock, will take an observation by itself at what ever second may be designated. It is the intention to attach these instru- ments to balloons and in that way se- cure observations at great heights, as great as it is possible for captive bal looms to reach with safety.

 It Cannot Be Spun Yet.

mate by 'COnssuunGl Butterflies" EHE
 It Cannot Be spun Yet.
 Some very remarkable bugs are be- ing matched and reared just at present by the experts of the government bu- reau of entomology at Washington. Most people would suppose that there were enough insects in existence with out resorting to artificial preparation; but the fact is that this kind of scientific work has very useful purpose in view. This, too, notwithstanding the fact that the species selected for breeding are the most pestiferous that can be found.
 The bug hatchery, or "fnsectary," as 1t is called is brick building close by the department of agriculture. In con struction ii resembles a greenhouse, the upper part being of glass, so as to admit plenty of light for the insects. It is divided into two compartments, one of which is artificia1ly heated for the ben eft of tropical and other species that require warmth while the other is cold. On shelves all around the interior, and on the floor as well, are glass jars and queer glass-sided boxes containing a great variety of odd-looking objects.
 The objects in the glass jars are parts of plants, fruits. dried-up vegetables, pieces of branches or roots, etc. One does not see any bugs at all, and the reason why is simply that the veg etables, fruits and so forth are the natural food of the insects, and the lat ter are either inside of them or else are "done ups in cocoons for the win ter.
 For example, there is a huge cocoon nine inches long hanging from twig in R jar of exceptional size. This is the temporary communal dwelling built by the so-cailed ''gregarious butterfly" in Mexico. More correctly speaking, it is the rs-transformed later into butterflies-that construct the cocoon for a residence while they are under going their metamorphosis. The CO., coon looks and feels as if made of thick parchment, and at the lower end of it is a small hole that serves for a door. The labor employed in building it must be enormous. Under powerful mag nifying glass, it is seen to be composed of an infinite number of shining and very slender silken threads, crossing each other in every direction. When cut into, the nest is found to contain 1oo or more chrysalids. attached to the walls on the inside-each one repre- senting a future butterfly.
 The habit of combining together to build a house seems to be peculiar to this species among butterflies The silk composing the nest is exquisite, and from % to 25 sheets of it can be stripped off from the great cocoon as if woven in loom. If the silk could only be spun, the 'gregarious butterfly" would soon displace the silkworm, and the silks and satins of commerce would be of butterfly manufacture. Unfor- tunately, the difficulty remains un- solved, though many attempts in this direction have been made. Could so- luton of the problem be found. silk would become at once enormously less costly, inasmueh as the cocoons of this kind of butterfly are to be gathered n immense numbers as a wild crop in the forests of Mexico.

 lCopyright, 1S9Sl
 One of the most marked evidences of modern progress is the fact that weather observations are now taken in midair. This is accomplished at Fort Logan, Col, where detachment of the signal corps has a balloon of 14,0o0 cu- bic feet capacity. By it's aid observa- tions are taken at greater height than has ever before been possible.
 Just how this is done is shown by the accompanying illustration, made from a photograph, which illustrates the system by which Chief Signal Service Officer Willis L. Moore hopes some day, and that before very long, to advance weather prognostications to such a de- gree that they will be well-nigh infalli- ble. Mr. Moore is the Edison of the weather service, and believes that all that has been done so far is only a good beginning of the great work which is to come.
 The balloon is operated as part of a captive balloon section of the signal corps, so arranged as to form, if neces- sary, Q portion of the field train of an army. Thus it will be possible to uti1- ize these same ballons for purposes of war, as well as the peaceful duties that accrue to them in the weather service. This captive balloon section consists of q balloon, balloon wagon with cable drum and cables, and accessories for

Insects and the Sense of sight.

X proof that it is not always the sense of smell, but ofttimes that of sight, which directs insects to their flowers is noted by the distinguished French entomoIogist, NJ. R. Blanchard. A spe- eies of sphinx moth which entered hotel room in the half obscurity of ear ly morning was found to fit with direct intent to definite parts of the wall and ceiling. These were decorated with paintings of leaves and flowers. and to the latter the insect approached in re- peated attacks, thrusting forward its proboscis as though intent upon intrud- ing it into the opened cups of beguiling flowers. After repeated failures and the resulting Encouragement the ef- fort was given up. and the moth es- capped by the window. Another case of butterfly which persisted in visiting the artificial flowers upon a lady's bon net adds an instance to recorded facts of erring instinct among insects.-N. Y. Tribune.

California and Oregon.

The name of California originated in the imagination of the author of D Spanish romance, Les sergus de Es- planadian." Here the "Island of Cali fornia, where abundance of gold and precious stones are found,p was de- scribed. The name was probably given to the territory now embraced in Cali fornia by some of the spaniards with Cortez, who, no doubt. has read this sensational romance. Oregon was d name formerly given to an imaginary river of the west. Carver, an American traveller, mentions it in 1763. Indescrib- ing it he evidently ccnfounded it with fhe Missouri, but the name was final- ly applied to the present state of that name. Philadelphia Press.
