How Weather Works Wonders.

Not the least mysterious of all the
wonders of the earth is the eXtraOr-
binary clevernesS of Dame Nature rs
carver and designer. Her tools are
air. rain, rivers. springs and frost.
Any one who has ever seen the mar
velouS Queen Bess rock on the North
Cornish coast. that wonderful present
mcnt of the great Queen Elizabeth,
who is seated so grandly upon the
sands. must have asked himself the
question as to how such a thing could
have been accomplished.
Continuous tricklinG of water wears
away the face of the rock. Haphaz-
ard it was until at last n weird pat
tern is formed that sometimes reScm-
bleS Il mars face. sometimes an ami
NAL. All over the world Nature has
placed her picture gallery and her col
lection of statuary, the biggest free
show in the world.
Another work of Natures that very
often results i'll extraordinary changes
being effected is landslip.
And landslips have arisen from the
tinieSt possible causes. y little I'M
foreground flow of water had gradually
undermined Il hill or cliff until at last
the earth became like a hollow nut.
Then the soil became top heavy. The
sea beat against its foundations, and
millions of tons of earth were flung
into the sea, which proves the axiom
that the tiniest beginnings often pro-
duce the mightiest ends.

That was Il magnificent feat per-
they were fighting the Austrians. 1t
happened a long time ago. but the incl
dent was marked by such superlative
valOr that it will never be forgotten.
The regiment, under Colonel Walhu-
bert, was sent to take an intrcnchment
of the Austrians in the heights of the
Simplon pass. Arriving at the point,
they found the enemy solidly intrench-
ed in what appeared to be an impreg-
nable position. In front of their re-
doubts and quite separating them from
the French force was deep chasm
through which ran mountain torrent.
How to get across was a problem
seemingly impossible to solve. But the
colonel was equal to it. He found
long, straight tree with n trunk almost
n foot in thickness. This he ordered
to be cut down, and the trunk was ac-
tually thrust across the chasm under
CALLING fire. The colonel gave the word
to pass Overcome man at time.
The first was shot and pitched down
to death in the chasm. The second and
third shared his fate, but presently a
few succeeded in the desperate at
tempt Then the colonel followed,
formed the little party on the other
side and charged. The enemy, dunn
founded at such extraordinary BRAY
cry, left their position and fed.-Cas-

To select glass with discretion it is
necessary 10 understand somewhat of
its manufacture ana to recall the prop
critics of the chemicals of which il is
composed. These materials are chiefly
soda, potash. lime, alumina and oxide
of lead. The quality Of the glass to be
manufactured depends upon tL9
amount of the basic material united
with the silica or sand. The best glass
is made with lead, which gives to it
luStcr. feasibility and high refractory
powers. 1t is often called flint glass to
distinguish it from lime glass. which is
much cheaper and of 4 decidedly green
iSh tint
Flint glass is that which is most gen.
orally used for cutting and polishing
1t may be picked out by the clear, bell
like tone which it sends forth when
struck. This test may be made without
any danger of breaking the glass if it
be held firmly in one hand while the
upper part or edge is sharply struck
with a pencil or other instrument, the
only care requisite being to see that the
glass does not touch any object when
it is struck. since if there he room for
it to vibrate glass will never break

In one of the private schools here in

A EaIfhfuI Dog.

Many hundred years ago there lived
at Athens 4 dog whose faithfulness
has caused him 10 be mentioned in
history, and in the Grecian city his
story is often repeated.
The dog guarded one of the heather
temples at Athens. One night a thief
stole into this building and carried off
some of the most valuable treasures.
The dog vainly barked his loudest to
brighten the thief and to rouse the
keepers as the man went off with the
jewels. But the faithful dog did not
mean to lose sight of the rascal, and
all through the night he followed him.
BY daybreak the poor animal had be-
come very weary, but still he kept the
robber in sight. The latter tried to
feed him, and as he made friends with
the passersby he took it from them in
stead. Whenever the thief stopped to
rest the dog remained near him, and
soon n report went through the coun-
try of the animals strange behavior.
The keepers of the temple, hearing
and they found him still Mt the heels
of the thief at n town called CronyOn.
The robber was arrested, taken back
TO Athens and there punished. The
judges were so pleased with the dogs
sagacity and faithfulness that they or
dered him to be fed every day for the
rest of his life at the public expense.

vASTNESs OF ST. PETERS.
Large Objects Appear Small In the
Great Cathedral.

During a recent ceremony in st. Pc
ter's, Rome, one IF the crystal chande-
liers suspended from the ceiling began
to creak ominously, and the people be-
meath it hastily scattered. In a mo-
ment the mass fell and was dashed in
to thousand pieces OH the floor below.
In st. Peters a few days before when
the workmen were suspending these
chandeliers they were taking them out
of piles of numbered boxes, for st. Pc
ters. like theater. has many proper
ties" and is decked in Il different man
ner for it's different ceremonials.
Cords run over pulleys fastened far
up aloft, and with these the chande-
liers were hoisted to their places. st.
Peters is so enormous that the eye
there is continually deceived. The
chubby cherubs at the holy water font
look to be the size of ordinary babies,
yet they are nearly seven feet tall, and
a man standing beside them looks like
a dwarf. When the workmen were
hosting these chandeliers from the
floor, a traveller noted with amaZement
that the masses of crystal were over
eight feet high. Yet when hoisted to
their places far up in the dim heights
they looked about the size of a mans
head.
Workmen in st. Peters are called
"sanpietrini." They take their name
from the basilica "San Pietro"-"san-
pietrino." plural 'sanpietrini." They
have a set Of lofty scaffolds mounted
on rollers. These they move from place
to place about the vast church. They
are not unlike our fire departments
water towers. Ladder after ladder
runs up the scaffolding. and by their
aid they reach places from 100 to 80
feet above the floor. Other ingenious
scaffoldings are used for work on the
inside of the dome. Seen up there the
''sanpietrini' look like flies crawling
on the ceiling. The top Of the dome is
about 900 feet above the floOr.-St

A Stnrx of WhIatIer

The Boston Transcript says: "A Gi-
verting anecdote is told of the bOyhOod
of Mr.. Whistler. the greatest modern
impressionist. He was apprenticed to
some engineers who were etching elab-
crate maps on copper. one day his
employer asked him If he also could
etch maps on copper. oh, yes. l can
ctch.' promptly answered young Whis-
tier.
AS a matter OF fact he had never
used an etching needle in his life.
However. they gave him the copper.
and he set to work. making a very fine
and beautiful map. But round the
edges of the plate. which when bitten
in with acid are always stopped out. he
etched some characteristic little sketch
IS of the different members of the
firm, including a very humorous one Of
the chief himself.
shortly after he happened to go
away for n week or two for his holt
day. Meantime the plate had been
bitten in and printed with all of the
dreadful little caricatures that he had
forgotten to stop out appearing in star
ting prominence, the sketch of the
chief being especially remarkable be-
cause Of its great resemblance TO that
gentleman, who was so enraged at the
iudignity of the thing that Immediately
on Whistler's return he dismissed
him"

How . Dog stopped a Dosaeht.

Oh one of che most pleasant side
streets of Cleveland live two dogs-a
large. dignified hound and a saucy,
small fox terrier. The two are the
best of friends, and the big dog is al
ways watching over the little one and
doing his best to keep the pert fellow
out of a fight. But the other day his
watchfulness failed. Another terrier
came and yelled defiance at the
hounds comrade, and when the big
dog arrived upon the scene it was to
behold frantic. tumbling. swapping
heap, of which his favorite was part.
He seemed 10 consider the state of
things, then gave a sigh of patient dig
nifty and began TO walk around the
combatants, keeping a critical eye on
the struggle and evidently acting the
part of umpire. His favorite was get
ting the worst of il, but he did not in
terfere. Maybe he thought the pun
ishment of defeat was better than any
he could bestow. He watched silently
till all at once his friend gave n yelp
of real pain and trouble. Then sud-
denly the big dog awoke. With
bound he was beside the other two.
With one tap of his paw he sent the
victor over into the dust, grabbed his
favorite in his mouth as a cat grabs
her kitten and made off TO his own
back yard.
During the next hour he licked, scold-
ed and fondled the repentant terrier.
And now the two are more devoted
than ever, though the little dog seems
more meek and decidedly more obedi-
ent than of yOre.-Cleveland Plain

Effects of WEAKNESS.

The eating of high" game is I'M
doubtedly attended with risks, and the
poisonous effects are probably due to
the toxins produced in the earlier
stages of the putrefactive process. The
advantage, of course, of hanging game
Is that the flesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestible than when
II is quite fresh. The ripening proc
ess, however, may mean the elabora-
ton of toxins.
1t has been stated that the produc-
ton of the characteristic fiavors Of
game is related directly TO the amount
of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphur
alcohol set free. but it is rather re-
pulsive TO think that the delicate flavor
of game is dependent upon that invari-
able product of decomposition of rot
ten ggs-sulphureted hydrogen. The
smell evolved during cooking of high"
game is even more disgusting.
Fresh game sometimes sets up mys-
FERROUS poisonous symptoms which
have been attributed to the fact of the
game having been overturned and
fatigued. Fatigue products indeed
have been separated from overturned
game which. when injected into a
healthy animal have produced marked
poisonous effects. There is no doubt
that fatigue products under certain cir
cumStanceS are also elaborated in the
human body and give rise to n species
of self poisoning. characteristic symp-
toms of which are headache, stupor
and gastric and intestinal pains. The
flesh of overdriven cattle may prove
poisonous from the same cause
