NopSCldl Letter.
Perhaps no more interesting record
OF the sea will be handed down from
the nineteenth century than that Of
the voyage round the world recently
completed by Capt. Joshua Slocum,
who formed the sole occupant of a
small boat named the Spray. Capt.
Slocum, who halls from Boston, has
been a shipmaster for many years, and
he conceived the idea a few years ago
OF making a voyage single-handed
around the world. With this intention,
therefore, he set himself to cut down
an oak tree, and with this he built the
Spray entirely with his own hands;
every nail in her was driven by him
self, and seeing that she has sailed
some 10000 miles safely in rough and
smooth seas, he may well be proud of
his handiwork. The little vessel is
yawl-rigged and of nine tons. She is
40 feet long, with a beam Of IA feet,
and she draws five feet of water.
Everything being ready, Capt. Slo-
cum left Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, in

How Pekin Is Guarded.

The outer great wall of Pekin Is
about twenty-seven miles in circum-
ference. 1t was built centuries ago of
mud and bricks. Each brick is as big
as a family Bible, and the interstices
are filled up with mud and stones. The
whole has long settled into a solid
cement. Save for some damage done
in one or two quarters by recent floods,
this great wall is still intact. The
gates number thirteen. They are in
significant, though finely arched, being
only twenty feet high. At night they
are closed with great doors sheathed
with iron, and no one can pass in or
out.

ROSA BONHEUR'S LIFE
MOST REMARKABLE WOMAN OF
THE CENTURY.
A Letter Written just Before Her
Death Gives a Pen Picturas of Her
Last Days On Earth-Was q World
Character

heur a Fontainebleau correspondent
gave the following pen picture of her
last days on earth:
Rosa Bonheur, the great artist, is
now a hale and handsome old lady of
n, still passing much of her time out
of doors among her friends the ami
mails, in the grounds of her beautiful
estate in the heart of the forest of
Fontainebleau. In the course of her
remarkable career she has displayed
many traits and tastes more commonly
associated with the masculine sex than
with her own Her physical vigor, ner
nigh courage, her interest in hunting
her love for horses, dogs and wild
beasts, the half-manly costume she
early adopted to meet the require
ments of her work-all these have
been roughly classed as masculine.
Perhaps they are so, but they have not
therefore made Mademoiselle Bonheur
an unwomanly woman.
Her guests pronounce her a charming
hostess. She Is kind and sympathetic,
her manner are pleasing, although abb
rupt, and she resents any imputation
that her career has rendered her tact

The TELESCOPE.

The principle of the telescope was
described by Roger Bacon in 1850, and
in 1887 Leonard Digges arranged lenses
SO that he could see very distant OBJ
jects. In 1903 telescopes were con-
structed by Lipperhey and Jensen. A
description Of these enabled Calico, i n
the following year, to construct an i'm
proved instrument, with which, in
1910. he discovered Jupiter's satellites

THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION.
Keeping Sewer Gas Out of an Empty
House.

Keeping Sewer Gas Out of an Empty
House.
The annual hegira to the mountains
and seaside will shortly commence, and
In the rush after health which custom
and fashion prescribe some very plain
and necessary precautions looking to
the retention of that acquired health
on the return of the summer birds" to
the city are in the meantime neglected,
says the New York Times. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the plumbing work
in New York houses cannot be ex-
celled, but it must be admitted that
circumstances arise under which the
benefit to be derived from this excep-
tional condition of sanitation is for
feited, and the summer migration af-
fords the opportunity for multiplying its
effects. The main object which good
plumbing work in a building Is in
tended to effect is the exclusion of
sewer gas from the house. The trap
underneath each fixture, with its water
seal kept intact, is the sole barrier be-
tween the sewer, with its germ-laden
air, and the atmosphere in the DWELL
ing. Science has decided that, in or
der to preserve that water seal intact
and to equalize the pressure of the
atmosphere, a vent pipe from the crown
of the pipe to the outer air above the
roof is Indispensable. The presence OF
this air pipe, however, while 1t pre-
serves the water seal, under ordinary
circumstances has the tendency to in
duce evaporation of the water in the
traps-if no renew al Of the water takes
place within a week or ten days
therefore the sater seal is broken by

There is a well defined and
strongly authencated belief that
when there is a "close" race for the
office of United States senator eth
er in the nominating caucus or in
the election by the members of the
legislature, the use Of money as a
persuader is resorted to, and the
candidate or his friends who have
the big purse gets tse Office. Of
course, the "work" is done and the
money is passed under the cover Of
secrecy and the people rarely Sc
cure proof Of who is bribed or how
the bribing is done, hence punish
ment seldom follows. The remedy
is plain, and there is but one RENE
dy, and that is to change the law so
that United States senators will be
directly elected by vote of the peo-
pie, as are members of congress and
state and county officials. The
sooner this reform is inaugurated
the better it will be for the people.
