1t Was Ordered.

IN the biography of Prince Bismarck
1t Is said that when he was minister al
ST. Petersburg he was walking one
morning in the summer garden and met
the czar, who invited him to join him.
Presently Bismarck noticed sentry
stationed in the middle of large grass
plot and asked the aidde-camp, who in
turn inquired of the sentry.
ut is ordered" was his reply.
Every official gave the same answer,
at is ordered" but nobody knew by
whom. A sentry had always stood
guard in the middle of that innocent
grass plot. The archives were searched,
but in vain. At last an aged official
was found, who had been told by his
father that tho Empress Catherine had
once seen a snowdrop ready to bloom in
the spot. and had ordered sentry TO
stand guard aud allow no one to pluck
it. For more than a century the watch
had been maintained because "it was
ordered, and no one had ever thought

With the rest of his class he was tax

far out that life depended on his grasp
OF the rope. He pressed out farther
still, doing his very best.
Then, as mischance would have 1t, he
found he was not alone. He met
classmate coming in. clinging for life
to the rope. Safe passage for both was
almost an impossbility. One must
yield to tine other, but which?
1t was a trying moment for the
youths, but 1t did not take long for
HobsOn to decide. He gave way to his
classmate, keeping the merest touch
on the rope; but somehow, at the mo-
ment Of passing, even this hold gave
way, and he fell into the breakers.
The boy left on the rope got in and

Electric Eishea.

Some Interesting facts have recently
been compiled with reference to fishes
which have the power OF generating
electric discharges. The charge Is de-
yeloped by some chemical process oc-
curing in the plate in which the cleo
tric nerve filaments end, and in some
instances the discharge Is from the
head TO the tail, while in the case of
other fishes the reverse Is true. In .
full-sized electric eel or gymnotus. the
voltage is probably from three hundred
to eight hundred volts, and is easily ca
pable of stunning man. The momen.
tary currents are sufficient to defect a
galyano-motor or magnetic II needle.
1t is to be noted that the generation
and intensity of the discharge are I'M
der the control of the animal. which is.
apparently, in no way affected by the
action.

Russta'a "SDaufsh" NAVY

The Reichswehr gives an almost
comic account of the Russian naval
maneuvers which were held in the Bal
tic recently. Every ship engaged in
the operations was not only short
handed, but such men as they had were
perfectly untried hands, incapable of
performing the most ordinary duties
and causing a large number of mishaps
by their bungliDg carelessness. There
was a special lack of engineers and
firemen. to an extent, indeed, which
endangered the safety OF the ships. The
allowance of ammunition which had
ben placed on each vessel was absurd
ly insufficient, and rendered any kind
OF systematic gun practice impossible.

ships no less than twenty broke down
