have decided to invest in tricycles es-
pecially for use in muddy and slippery
weather.
During this entire season the tri-
cyclist has had no accident, not even
so much as a fall. He rode through
eight inches Of snow. somewhat slow
ly, of course, but his wheels had very
large tires and made a decent track
for themselves.
There is a sentiment growing up
that will demand wide-tire tricycles.
These will in time be equipped with
little motors or power of some sort,
and then winter and storms will lose
their terrors for the expert cyclist,
either man or woman. A good water
repellant and other suitable clothing
will enable them to bid defiance to
all sorts of weathers, and they may
with safety and dispatch take their
rides abroad regardless of the condi-
ton Of the highways.

ArIzOna's Petrlaed Forests.

The secretary of the interior is con-
sidering a proposition to make a gov
eminent reservation of the petritled
forest in Arizona. 1t is said that the
wonderful collection of silicifed tree
trunks of which the forest consists is
being rapidly despoiled for commercial
purposes. The petrified forest is in
Apache county near Holbrook. Not
only stumps and roots, but entire tree
trunks of great size are found convert
ed into hard agate, preserving the form
of every cell and fiber. Some of the
sections, cut across the trunks, are four
feet In diameter, so that polished tops
for tables are made out Of a single
piece. These exhibit, in the most ex-
quisite manner, the grain of the origin
al wood, beautified by brilliant dis
play of interblending colors. A com
pany has been formed to mine the for

and decorative work; and the only wav

equal in the world, is said to he nv

A ProieotIIe,s Gain Of speed.

Recent experiments with improved
instruments for measuring the velocity
of projectiles have shown that the
speed goes on increasing after the mis-
sile has left the mouth of the cannon
LAYING the muzzle with velocity OF
about 1,474 feet in a second, a projec-
tile has been observed to increase Its
speed to about 1859 feet per second
within the first six feet. 1t is only
after having Travelled about twenty
five yards that the projectile's velocity
becomes reduced to the speed that i
had on leaving the muzzle. This is
ascribed to the impulse of the expand
ing gas being felt for some distance
beyond the lannon's mouth.

The Red Mouse and King solomon.

The Red Mouse and King Solomon,
Polly Pry" has read or heard that
there is legend connected with a red
mouse and King Solomon, and would
like to know what it is. Answer: In
the Chronicle of Tobias the following
legend is found. The Koran also makes
some allusion to 1t. In the building of
the Temple, King Solomon employed
the genii and the work went on in that
strangely silent magical manner that
has SO often been referred to in the
stories of that wonderful structure.
Some time before it was completed,
Solomon realized that his death was
near and cast about for some means by
which he might preserve the appear
ance OF life in order that the genii
might not cease their labors. At last
ne made strong staff from one of the
trees in his garden, and placing him
self in an attitude of alteration, leaned
heavily upon the support and died. The
spirits, supposing him to be engaged
in prayer, did not stop work, but toiled
uninterruptedly until the building was
finished. Meanwhile, small red mouse
had been nibbling at the staff, and
twelve months after the death of Solo
mon the fbres were cut away and the
stan broke, the body falling to the
ground.-Editor.

Metal Covered Carr.

For number of months car cover
ed with metal instead of the usual paint
finish has been run on one of the trunk
lines between New York and Boston.
The car is coated with copper, and the
same road is experimenting with alum
mum, bronze and other metals as coat
ings instead of the paint and decora-
tions heretofore employed. It requires
about eight or nine hundred pounds of
copper to coat car, and the cost will,
it is thought, be but trifle more than
for those finished in the customary
way. OF course the first experiment
was costly in that there were no recog-
nized methods of doing the work, but
if the company decides to adopt such
materials as coverings for cars, i'm
proved ways and means will be devised
which will greatly reduce the cost of
manufacture. The first car cost about
fifty dollars more for copper cover than
for paint and varnish. 1t is suggested
that stamped covers be used, and fanci-
full decorations will undoubtedly fol-
low.

War has its blessings as we'll as its
Ills, and we have already experienced
one Of the greatest of these in the re-
vival of patriotism throughout the
whole country. Everywhere "old glo-
ry' waves and patriotic emblems are
in evidence. Everywhere the people
are heaping honors and godspeeds up
on the boys in blue as they send them
forth to do battle for their country.
The whole national heart is throbbing
with patriotism as never before since
the days of Washington. Such an ex-
hibition of sentiment by 100000 Am
orleans cannot fail to make a strong
and lasting impression upon the ma
tional life.

There Is No Death.

/ - HO DShbHa
There is no death! the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
| And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death! the forest leaves
Convert to life the viewless air;
The rocks disorganize to feed
The hungry moss they bear.
There is no death! the dust we tread
ShalI change, beneath the summer
showers,
TO golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
There is no death; the leaves may fall,
the flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The warm, sweet breath of May.
There is no death! the choicest gifts
That heaven hath kindly lent to earth
Are ever first to seek again
The country Of their birth;
And all things that for growth or joy
Are worthy of our love or care,
Whose loss has left US desolate,
Are safely garnered there.
Though life becomes a desert waste,
We know its falrest, sweetest flowers,
Fransplanted into paradise,
Adorn immortal bowers.
The voice Of birdlike melody
That we have missed and mourned 80
long
Now mingles with the angel choir
In everlasting song.
There is no death! although we grieve
When beautiful, familiar forms
That we have learned to love are torn
From our embracing arms
Although with bowed and breaking heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear their senseless dust to rest,
We say that they are dead
They are not dead! they have but passed
Beyond the mists that blind us here,
Into the new and larger life
OF that serener sphere.
They have but dropped their robe OF
clay =,
To put their shin5ng raiment on;
They have not wandered far away
They are not lost" or gone"
Though disenthralled and glorifed
They still are here and love us yet;
The dear ones they have left behind
They never can forget.
And sometimes, when our hearts grow
faint
Amid temptations fierce and deep,
Or when the wildly raging waves
OF grief or passion sweep
We feel upon our fevered brow
Their gentle touch their breath Of
balm.
Their arms enfold us, and our hearts
Grow comforted and calm.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread
For all the boundless universe
Is Life:-there are no dead!
