the result will be beneficial to every
plantation on the islands. DIR. Max
well expressed the hope that none OF

ouestioDs which the Partisan pubic, always
eager for something new in any branch OF art
was putting to itself Various stories were soon
current regarding him, most of them lacking

was thus al that time thirty-four years old He
was poor, but, determined to study art he
made his way TO Munich. There, in order to get
money to enable him to live while he was work
ing at the Academy. he took gladly all sorts OF
odd jobs that he could find. From Munich he
went to Vienna and from Vienna TO Paris, but
the struggle against poverty and his disadvan-
tages as an unknown foreigner were discourag
ing. One day in Paris seized with Irresistible
homesckness, he took the train for his native
Moravia. His money, however gave out before
he reached his own OWn of Ivancia, and he
was obliged to get off at little village on the
route.
Going to the inn there. he began to make
sketches Of the surrounding landscape, which
he offered for sale. The innkeeper and his wife
took an interest in the young stranger. and
spoke of him TO Count Khuen Emmasof the
chief land owner Of the place. The Count, as II

same wall or ruin, the lady owl, though
usually much bigger and stronger than
her mate, looks the picture of demure
coyness, If a little excited inwardly,
like a girl at her first ball. But the
male owl is very much in earnest; for
a moment or two he remains quite
still; then he puffs out all of his
feathers, bows and utters a softened
scream, followed by modified hiss
that is full of tender meaning, and
then he nudges her with his wing; she
opens her big eyes very wide and gives
him sidelong glance that may be a
hint; for, horrible to relate, from the
depths of his interior he instantly
brings up half-digested mouse, and,
although she is as full of similar ro-
dents and stag beetles as she can COM
fortably hold, she opens her mouth and
accepts the fragrant gift with a MUIR
muir OF stisfaction that speaks vol
umes of love and thanks Then when
the dainty morsel has been disposed OF
they caress each other tenderly for
moment or two and then sit closely
pressed to each others side, while the
process of assimilation is perfected,
after which they simultaneously fit
away in the moonlight on noiseless
wing in search of other prey. Not only
do the owls regard each other with a
devotion that is rarely met with among
more favored creatures, but they posi-
lively idolize their ill-favored off
spring. for whose sake they willingly
risk not only liberty but life. A
young owl is not an ttractive-looking
object from our point of view, but in
its fathers and mothers eyes it is
perfection. and they way they wait on
it, cuddle and caress it, feed it and
keep it clean must be seen to be be-
lieved.

saturn.s Ninth Satellite.

Prof. Pickering of the Harvard OBJ
servatory has discovered a ninth sat
elite revolving around the planet Sat
urn. The eighth satellite was discoy-
cred at the Harvard observatory by
Prof. Bond in 1S4S. The new satellite
was found with the aid Of photography
its image appearing among the stars
on four plates exposed in the Bruce
Photographic telescope at the Harvard
station near Arequipa, Peru. 1t is ex-
ceedingly faint, being estimated al
magnitude fifteen and half. Its dis
lance from the planet is three ard a
half times greater than that of the
outermost satellite Of Saturn hitherto
known, or about 7,7S7,00 miles Thi:
is more than thirty-two times the dis
lance of our moon from the earth
Besides its nine moons Saturn has an
enormous number Of small attendant
bodies crowded together and forming
its famous rings.

A Russian Boar Pointer.

The Russians have a species OF
pointer" which does duty in pointing
out or drawing the hunters attention
to bears, fur martens, squirrels and
other quarry, as well as game birds.
The 'layka," as it is called, is a gray,
black or brown dog, with a rough coat
and very plucky. When bruin is snugly
housed in a cave or hollow trunk for
the winter, the layka scents him out
and fearlessly attacks him to force him
out of his lair. The hunter is waiting
outside, and ready to fire when the
bear appears. Bears are awkward Gus
toners to tackle, and sometimes the
maladroit hunter is felled to earth or
caught in their embrace. On such oc-
casions the layka is prompt to succor
his master by worrying the bear and
causing him to let go his hold. Many
a bear hunter owes his life to the
layka, who sometimes loses his own in
the encounter.

uustsches and mustaches; and to sane
ton them in the attendants at dim
ner table is to run an unnecessary risk
of the unsightly. In the razor there is
always safety. Besides, If mustache
is to be allowed to waiter, why not
a beard-even the beard of old age?
Why not assent at once to the incon-
gruity of being waited upon by
patriarchs? True, it may be urged
that the same sort of objection was
raised to the wearing of mustaches and
boards by the clergy and that 1t was
overruled Yes; but are we sure that
the right cause prevailed? Is the church
stronger than it was when its minis
tiers could be correctly described by the
old appellation of "shavelings" May
We not, on the contrary, attribute some
of the present lawlessness and IN
subordination of the clergy to their
early beginnings Of license?"

Marvellous Escape.

Zone Of the strangest accidents in
my experience" said a boiler expert to
New Orleans Times-Democrat man,
occurred a few years ago at a small
sawmill town over in Texas. They had
a narrow-gauge road on which logs
were hauled by pony locomotive. One
day the two forward wheels of the
little machine jumped the track and
the crew of seven men went out to
jack it into place. AS the engine stood
it had a cant forward, which threw all
the water in the boiler to the front
end, and, as there was lively fire in
the box, it soon got the other end red
hot This trifiing circumstance was
overlooked by the crew, who proceed
ed calmly with the lacking, six OF
them working at the sides and one
lying fiat on his stomach under the
rear trucks. AS the engine slowly as
sumed horizontal position the water
ran back to the red-hot portion, and,
bang! the whole things disappeared in
space. The six men also disappeared
They were distributed in small Sec
ton sover at least ten acres, and there
wasn't enough left of either engine or
crew to make a respectable souvenir.
While this disintegration was in prog
ress the man who had been lying fiat
on his stomach was experiencing the
surprise of his life He heard hid
eous clap of thsnder, and when he
looked up - and behold! he was all
by his lonely. His comrades and the
pory locomotive. which was but just
shen standing over his back. had van
ished like dream. All that was left
was the lanscape. He was wholly un-
hurt"

Scientific kite-flying has made great
progress in recent years. The Compan-
ion has frequently noted the achieve
ments at the Blue Hill observatory in
Milton, Mass. Mr.. G.. A. Frismuth OF
Philadelphia has borrowed an idea
from the balloon fly, or ''telltale," used
on ships to show the direction of the
wind, and has constructed kite con-
sisting Of three cones, one within the
other. The mouth of each cone con-
sists of a bamboo circle, to which the
silk bag is fastened The circles in
the experimental kite are II, Is and "a
inches in diameter, and the cones are
"a, SO and AZ inches in length each,
with a two-inch outlet at the end. A
little protuberance at the bottom OF
the outer bamboo hoop shows where a
small lump of lead ballast is attached.
The weight Of the entire construction
is seven ounces The kite at a height
of LOCO feet registered a pull Of sixteen
pounds. 1t seems to be an easy form
of kite for boys and amateurs to con-
struct.

GRADUATING DRESSES And ACADEMIC GOWNS.

own them when they can. They are
made by firms who furnish ecclesias-
tical raiment. The prices are rather
high, as tailor-made finish is given
to the garments. There is no reason
why they may not be done at home by
skilled fingers. The best pattern
makers provide a variety of styles in
academic gowns, and charge only a
few dimes for them. The academic
robe usually is worn over a dress Of
black, that there may be no violent
contrast in the costume. There is no
rule about 1t, however, except as a
class agrees upon one color in dress
or another. Nor about the neckwear,
nor the color in gloves Some classes
prefer stiff linen collars and white
ties, while others like ribbons. And
there are precedents for a class choice
of black, white or gray gloves. These
matters are determined by vote in
plenty of time before the exercises.
OF course, in numbers those who will
wear white frocks in which to make
their leave of school and their bows
to the world are vastly greater than
the count OF the academies And 1t
