Phantom sounds have been sub
ject of prolonged inquiry by an Eng
Iish investigator, Mr.. John M. Bacon,
who finds that they are often purely
imaginary and due to an overstrained
or fatigued condition of the ear or
mind, while in other cases vague and
indistinct noises are wrongly inter.
preted. In this way may be explain
ed most of the mysterious roar OF
artillery from no earthly guns, boom
of waves a days journey from the sea,
and tolling of bells in the heart OF
the mountains. A practical old SOL
dier was mystifed by weird night
lament in his park. which was at last
found to be produced by the rubbing
together of two branches high up in
on oak tree; and a coast-guardsman
on night duty heard the plaintive cry
of an infant, which seemed to move
about as he went from place to place
in search of the sound, until this was
proved to be the bleating of a lamb
hidden by rock. An intrepid bal
loonist has described the awful i'm
pressiveness of the closing of the
valve of his balloon after dis
charge OF gas. The sudden sharpness
of the click in the dead silence aloft,
it's unexpected direction, its possible
connection with the aeronauts fate,
and the drum-Iike echoes in the tense
silk, always tended to give an effect
akin to the ghost-seer's terror.

The element fuorine is the most
powerful resgent the chemist has at
his disposal. Its use has been restric-
ted, however, by the suppositicn that
it would destroy all apparatus except
constructed of platinum, lead or
fuolspar, but M. Moissan has lately
shown that vessels of copper areonly
slightly attacked, a thin layer of
insoluble fuoride of copper being
formed over the metal. Such vessels
can be employed even for the electro
lysis of hydrofuoric acid.

The origin of pearls has been a
much considered problem-one theory
being that they are result of disease
in the oyster, and another that they
are coating of nscre formed over an
intrusive object to shield the soft
flesh. It appears that both views
may be correct. In a paper to the
Paris Academy, M. Leon Diquet dis
tinguishes between fine pearls and
intrusive bodies coated with nacre,
regarding the former as true pearls
and finding that the latter have only
the iridescence of the shell or mother
of-pearl They occur between the
MANTLE and the shell, usually at
tached to the latter. The true pearl
is formed in any part of the shell fish
except the mantle, has no connection
with the shell, and is a Qualification
seemingly due to parasites. Unlike
the pearls of intrusion, it is perfectly
spherical. 1t begins in small sac
of humor, which gelatinizes and cal
CITES in series of concentric layers,
and its heart is cavity holding cal
careous crystals and remains of what
may have been the parasites provok-

II a somewhat hackneyed term as applied to-
railroad trains, but it accurately describes
the Alton Limited, the newly equipped day
trains of the Chicago & Alton K. r. Co.
which were placed in daily service between
Chicago and st. Louis, November Is, 1899.
The equipment consists of standard Chicago
& Alton passenger locomotive; United
States postal car, sixty-six feet in length;
combination passenger and baggage car,
combination parlor chair car and coach, Chi
cago & Alton parlor chair car; cafe and buff
fet smoking car and Pullman parlor chserva-
ton car, each of which is seventy-two feet
six inches in length. The framing of ALI
these cars is Pullman standard with Empire
decks, wide vestibules, standard steel plat
forms and anti-telescopng device. All of
the cars are lighted with electric lights ex-
oept the mail car and combination passenger
coach and baggage car, which are lighted
with Pintsch gas. The windows throughout
the entire train are of uniform width, the
Gothic lights above being of the new Pull
man standard. The ornamentation is of spe-
cial design, the color scheme being maroon.
Great care has been used in the selection of
pushes and woods for the interior, and the
lamps, metal furnishings, ETC.. are of special
design. 1t is claimed that there has never
been built in America train which has re-
ceived as much attention as to constructive
details as has The Alton Limited. An ex-
animation of this superb train certainly
bears out this claim.

FISHING IN THE WEST.
A Favorite Place with Former Presi-
dent Harrison for Casting
a Line.

Such streams as the Fox river of llli-
nois, the Kankakee, the White or the
Tippecanoe of Indiana, afford at times
even to-day very good sport to the fly
rod.
Ex-President Harrison and a few
chosen friends often take fy-fishlng
trip for bass along the Tippecanoe,
which was once famous bass water
and even yet is not quite shorn of its
ancient glory. These gentlemen would
as soon think of grand larceny or high
way robbery as to entertain the idea
of using anything but the fly on the
small mouths of the Tippecanoe. This
stream may be waded on many of its
best reaches, though it is best to take
along a boat, and some anglers prefer
to fish it from boat all the way. The
bass of this river are very good fighters,
and show the leaping instinct of the
small-mouth species, sometimes spring
ing out higher than ones head as one
stands playing the fish. The average
run is a pound or thereabouts, though
often one will take fish very much
heavier. The bucktail flies are good on
the Tippecanoe, though this seems to
be also a water where one may with
profit indulge in his notions for bright
colored millinery in laying out ones
days supply of flies. The Ferguson and
the silver doctor are sometimes used
effectively, and the Seth Green, with a
cinnamon wing, has been found good
upon occasion, though as to these mat
tiers it is not well to set forth dogma.
There is no ultimate truth discoverable
in the matter of bass flies in stream
fishing. This method we may as well
call 'broad fishing since it is followed
at all times of the day and on all parts
of the water. This is late spring and
summer fishing, when the bass are ~
ing about in the weedy pockets, under
logs, or close to sharp banks, and this
method, of course, ends when the cold
weather comes and the bass begin to
congregate in the deep holes.
The Fox river,in the summer time Of
fers an occasional evening of good fly
fishing at such points as the reefs near
Clintonville or Elgin, when the bass are
taking the natural fly in the cooler part
of the day, and on this river as well as
the Kankakee one may now and then
pick out bass from midstream even in
the middle of the day, while the fish are
lying pretty well down and only look
ing up lazily at the panorama which
sails past them outlined against the
sky. This sort of fly fishing, not re-
stricted absolutely to any part of the
water, but intended for any fish that
may happen to be lying about loose, is
the most common form of fly fishing,
and is sometimes very successful when
the bass are in the humor.-Chicago

er was standing at the head
OF n little open ravine which wound
away toward the foot of the mountain.
There was n low rail fence across the
head of the ravine few yards from
the mountain highway, and against
this fence Nance was leaning. Up to
the right of the ravine was little log
cabin, where she lived.
1t was late in the afternoon; and, as
Nance called the hogs, a great crowd of
them came gailoping up the hill to
scramble over the apronful of vegeta-

With her elbows on the fence and her
chin resting in her hands, Nance lin
gered TO listen to the roar of the river
while she dreamed.
While Nance was thus lost in her
dreamingand picture making, she sud-
denly felt an arm placed about her.
Whirling around she found herself in
the embrace of tall young mountain
Ger. who held her firmly about the
waist, and was looking world of ten
derness down into her eyes.
80, Zeb, how you scared me! Turn
me loose this ninute!" cried Nance,
struggling to free herself. At the same
time two bright tears came into her
eyes.
Won't you kiss me, Nance?" asked
The young man, eagerly.
NO, | won't! You didn't have any
business to scare me, that's what you
didn't"
Zeb released her and stood back.
For a moment neither of them spoke.
Nance again stood holding the top rail
of the fence, and was gazing away
down the ravine. Zeb stood few feet
away, with his eyes turned toward the
ground. At last he spoke.

you"

Silence still. Zeb sat down on an old
stump near by, and waited a long
while. Finally he rose again, and
gazed up at the sky all around.
From the looks of the sky the

hands down into the pockets of his
pantaloons, and striving hard to clear
a strange huskiness from his voice.

. Again Zeb's vision wandered toward
Nance; but she was still motionless
by the fence, her long hair waving
gently in the slight breeze that was
stirring.
80 Nance, amt you ever a goin' to
say anything?"
Nance continued as immovable as be-

upon his head and arose,

He turned and walked toward the
road. But he had gone only a few
steps when he turned and came back
again, going close up to Nance, where
he stopped a moment. Then he spoke.

his lips, then walked rapidly away.

he ascended the hard roadbed which
turned over the hill just above the

Zeb was just disappearing beyond the
turn in the road, and to Nance it sud-

what to do. Then she sprang away
