Madrid, Nov. 17.-Almost all the pa pers deprecate the dilatory proceedings at Paris, expressing their belief that the United States will decline arbitra- tion and urging the government to yield quickly since it is impossible for Spain to renew the struggle or to eX- pect European assistance, and, further more, because it would be better to cease wasting money and to attract at tention upon Spain's domestic affairs and the restoration of her finances.
 At the cabinet council to-day the minister of justice declared that the fears inspired by the Carlists agitation were absolutely groundless. Count de Rascon, Spanish ambassador in London, denies that the Carlists have raised loan there.

Up a Church, stesple.

Two triggers in a western city few years ago performed feat that for dar- ing and steadiness of nerve equals any thing on record.
 Repairs were necessary at the top of a very high church steeple. There was no way to reach the spot from the in- side, and the riggers procured 8 number of light ladders and lashed them, one above the other, to the outside of the steeple. The topmost ladder, however, was not high enough to enable them to reach the desired spot, and as the upper part of the steeple was too small to per init the proper flashing to it of ladder a daring expedient was resorted to.
 One of the men, carrying pot of melted solder, climbed from one ladder to another until he had reached the last one, and then, bracing himself, he rais- ed an extra ladder that the other rigger had brought up in his hand and leaned it against the steeple. Then the man be- low grasped this ladder and held 1t steady while the man above mounted it to the point where his work was to be done. He began the work at once, and all promised well till suddenly he jos tied the solder pot, and the fiery stuff ran out and fell over the hands of the man who was holding the ladder.
 But the brave fellow did not move. With 8 presence of mind and a courage worthy of monument he maintained a firm hold of the ladder until his com- panion could come down from his peril ous perch. h.-Philadelph Times.

Yiaitara From Snaca.

Whatever be their origin, it would seem that these solid bodies (meteorites) are hurtling through space at velocities which may be anything between 10 and 40 miles a second. If they come near enough to this earth to be attracted by 1t, their course is changed, and present ly they enter our atmosphere. The re- suit is sudden check to their speed. owing to the intense resistance and fric- tion engendered by contact with the air particles.
 What happens may be likened to the sudden application of the wooden brake block to the rapidly moving wheel of an express train. Heat is generated in exchange for motion, and the trail of sparks from the checked wheel is rep resented in the checked meteorite by a luminous trail. We commonly call 1t 8 shooting star, and if its mass be small it is possibly altogether dissipated in heat and gas, or it may ultimately find its way to our earth as dust. Such ''meteoric dust" has been found on the eternal snow of mountains, where dust of the ordinary type would be impossi- ble. If, on the other hand, the mass of matter be large, it's surface only will be affected by the sudden heat gener- ated, and it may fall to the ground en- tire or possibly explode and be scattered in fragments over 8 wide area--Cham- bers' Journal

Barsasl - surwsons.

Some interesting observations made by M. Patio on the surgical treatment of wounds by birds were recently brought before the Physical society of Geneva. In these it was established that the snipe had often been observed in repairing damages With its beak and feathers it makes very creditable dressing and has even been known to secure a broken limb by means of & stout igature. On one occasion M. Patio killed snipe which had on its chest @ large dressing composed of down from other parts of the body and securely fixed to the body by coagulated blood. Twice he had snipe with interwoven feathers strapped on to the site of a fracture of one or other limb. The most interesting example was that of snipe both of whose legs he had unfortunately broken by a misdirected shot. He only recovered it on the following day, when he found that the wounded bird had contrived to apply dressings and 8 sort of splint to both limbs. In carrying out this operation some feathers had become entangled round the beak, and not be- ing able to use it's claws to get rid of them the poor creature was almost dead from hunger when found. - Public Oniuion
