Wrote early.

Nearly all the women who are proni-
nent to-day in literature began to write
original compositions OF some kind or
another as soon as they could hold q
pen. Mrs. Meade has produced over 100
works of fiction, and is still 4 lady III
her prime. Mrs. Hodgson Burnett be-
gan her literary career in earnest at the
early age of Is. Reverses had come tc
her family by reason OF the cotton fam
inc, and she was anxious to help the
family funds. Edna Lyall began-to
write stories when she was about nine
years old. She wrote, as she says, for
the joy of writing" and because she
could not resist the craving to descrihe
the beloved heroes and heroines Wllo
filed her young imagination. N. q.

LIFE IN OTHER WORLDS.
Some Scientific Facts to Consider In
Speculation ON This
Subject.

Concerning the existence of life else
where in the universe. tits to be remem-
bered that the general physical condi-
ton of an extra terrestrial body must
be taken with great caution as the in
dex of the presence or substance of liy-
ing things. The protoplasm of resting
see1e may withstand the cold of liquid
air nearly 200 degrees centigrade below
the freezing point, or more than 900 de-
grees below zero Fahrenheit. These
seeds and spores OF bacteria live and
grow after being subjected to tenn
perature of 125 degrees centigrade, OF
nearly 260 degrees above zero Fahren-
heit. 1t is thus to be seen that terres-
trial protoplasm is capable of an adjust
ment to range of temperature of 325
degrees centigrade, OF nearly GOO de-
grees Fahrenheit. In view of these
facts it would be extremely rash TO say
that complex masses of matter con-
stituting a protoplasm might not exist
at temperatures above and below those
of the earth. The range of endurance
would depend upon the liquids enter
ing into the composition of the living
matter in question. The extremes of
temperature given above were pro-
duced artifcially of course. With the
exception of the heats of volcanoes,
thermal springs and lightning flashes
they are not produced on the earth's
surface, and plants have had no oppor-
tunity of acquiring special adaptations
toward the endurance of such extremes.
A temperature equal to that of the sun,
where the elements are more or less
separated into layers, and where the
molecular velocity is very great, would
form an absolute upper limit to life,
though the actual limit would be'far be-
low this point. Absolute zero. or 273
degrees centigrade below the freezing
point. would form lower limit
though periodic occurrences of this
temperature would by no means form a
barrier to life. The presence Of an at
mosphere, even intermittently, is not
necessary to life. The respiratory OF

Ma4icians' Tricks.

Everybody knows that nb;on;to,. e.
diyidual who generally sits ahont three
rows away from Won in tbe plavhouse
and tells half the aud;ence II lc,,a
whispers. what is goinp to happen next.
His rival has been d;scovered Ne /.
the man who sits behind Won and tells
the two people he brought in on passes
how the magician performs his tricks.
Of course, every one likes to know
these things, but usually prefers to fig-
.ure them out for himself. And when
the man who knows it all hasn't the
faintest idea of how tbs simplest trick
is done he becomes bore. Like most
bores, however, he doesn't know he's
one. After listening to him tell how
the man on the stage has the rabbits
up the sleeves of his dress-coat, at
tached to elastic bands, you turr around
and glare at him with the ides that he
may take it into his head to keep his
mouth shut and let you enjoy the show.
But he smiles at you in PLEASANT way
and imagines you are interested IN
what ne is saying, and proceeds to ex-
PLAIN the next TRICK.
Finally you grow extremely tired OF
this self-made lecturer and remark, ~
an audible tone. that he must have been
with magician once upon time. But
he doesn't appreciate your intended
-
sarcasm. he Jeans over and says:
Not at all; just my natural ability
to observe things"
He then tells how the man ON tho
stage produces billiard balls. He says
it's very easy. He simply has man
in the wings who throws them to him..
But he neglects to tell you where they
go to.
