An Old Partisan Landmark.

One of the old Partisan landmarks
which will soon be leveled to the
ground is the historic mansion once
occupied by Queen Hortense Queen
Hortense was SO unhappy in her mar
siage to Louis Bonapafte that she
spent but little of her time in the royal
palace at the capital in Holland. She
resided chiefly in Paris, at No.
II, in the Rue La Fitte, where
she occupied the mansion which
has since been redolent with
the memories Of her life. OF re-
cent years it las been the residence
of the Turkish ambassador, but every
body knows it as the old home of
Queen Hortense. Here the royal youth
who subsequently became Napoleon III.
of France spent much of his early life.
The front of the mansion has never
been considered specially beautiful. but
on the interior there are still many
traces of the glory which once belonged
to the mansion in former days. The
old building, with the grounds ada.
cent, will be destroyed to make room
for another street which is now being
opened IN the French capital.

BURNED A HUME RED YEARS.
Colorado Mountain whot Perpetual Fire
Cannot Re Quenched.


For 100 years and perhaps much
longer a mountain in Colorado has
been on fire. It is situated but short
distance west of Newcastle, and the
shadow of its smoke envelopes the
town al 3 o'clock every evening. The
Pc pie OF the region have become so
accustomed to it that they pay little
or no attention to the phenomenon.
To the stranger thereabouts, however,
the glittering patches of deep red hre.
where it breaks out on the side Of the
mountain and is exposed to view. there
Is nothing in all the state quite It's
equal The fire is fed by big vein OF
coal which the mountain contains.
Just how the coal became ignited is
not known. The Oldest resident says
it was on fire when he came and the
Ute Indians, who once lived there, say
il was burning many years before the
first white man crossed the continent
tai divide. The surposition is that the
coal was ignited by a forest fire at an
early date in the present century. Il
has smoldered and steadily burned I'M
til this day. At night when the moon
is dark is the best time to zsee=the fire.
Then it is that It resembles the re-
gions Of inferno as given US in the
word painting of Dante. The earth
covering the coal IS loosencd by the
heat aud tails away, exposing the sheet
of fire. The escaping gas probably as
sists in stripping off the rocks and dirt
and wherever the vein of coal ap-
breaches the surface the fire can be
seen. The first fire I saw was fully
fifty feet square. It had a peculiar red
tint, while the burning gas coming up
at the base of the coal vein added a
bright color to the scene IN many
places the surface of the mountain has
sunk, showing where the fire has
burned out its course. Efforts have
been made to extinguish the fire Some
time ago a company which owns :
large amount ef coal land constructed
a ditch from point several miles
above the mountain. into which it sue
ceeded in turning the water which goes
to form Elk creek. Previously a shaft
had been sunk in the mountain, and
into this shaft the water was permitted
to flow. The shaft was soon filed.
but the fire was above the level Of the
water, ard the effort was a failure.

Ruskin Said Some Severe Things About

The extensive alterations which are
proceeding at the Atheneum club, and
which include the addition of story
to its height, have been thought in
more than one quarter to be likely to
spoil the effect of the beautiful frieze,
modelled after the Greek, that runs
around the top of the building as orig

constant habit of putting careful sculp-
ture at the tops of the houses, and he

has just been built in London for the
Army and Navy club. It cost $4,000,
exclusive of purchase OF ground. It
has upon it an enormous quantity of

TIE QUEER cADDIcE.WoRm.
Its Miniature Log Cabin at the Bottom
of the Brook.

Perchance during some summers
stroll your steps may lead you by
sparkling. woodland brook. Here
pause a moment, ard placing your
face close to the surface of a dark and
quiet pool, look closely at the bot
tom. Among the sand and pebbles you
will see a number of small bundles OF
sticks ard little cylinders Of tiny
stones, moving about as though en-
dowed with life If you take them
out. however, they are apparently
dead and entirely devoid Of motive
power. But break them open, and you
WI find each ene to be little tube
lined with soft and shining silk, and
containing a whitish caterpillar-like
larva. This, then, is the solution OF
the puzzie-when the grub wishes TO
move about, he projects the forward
part of his body from the tube and
erawls around, dragging his house
behind him. But the moment he is
disturbed or frightened, he draws
back into his safe retreat, wherein he
remains hidden as long as danger
threatens. You viii find the little
tubes of various kinds, shapes and
sizes. Some are cylindrical. made of
sticks placed lengthwise, while others
are like log houses of straw, the pieces
being fastened erosswise. These min
iature log cabins are often decorated
with tiny snail-shen fasteEed to the
walls, and moreover, the shells are not
always empty. Quite often you may
find living snails securely attached,
and thus compelled to move about at
the will of their landlord. Other tubes
are built entirely of bits of moss and
leaves. The commonest forms are
those composed of little pebbles or
grains of sand. These are usually very
regular and smooth cylinders, in which
the grains are all of nearly equal size,
but among them you may frequently
find some with several larger stones
fastened to either side in a very curl
Gus manner. By far the prettiest
houses of all are shaped like little
spiral shells and are composed entirely
of almost mieroseopieal stones

velocity Is Between Six and Twelve
Miles Per Second.
BY means of the spectroscope we can
obtain probably more accurate deter
mination of the suns velocity through
space, says the Gentleman's Magazine.
AS is well known the velocity of 5tar
in the line of sight can be found by
measuring the displacement OF the
lines visible in the stars spectrum
Now the stars near the position OF the
solar apex should be approaching the
earth on account of the solar motion,
and those the opposite point Of the
8ky-ealled the "anti-apex should be
eeeeding. This method has been EN-.
ployed by several astronomers, espec-
tally by Vogel at the Potsdam obserYa-
tory. This able astronomer has found
from an examination Of forty stars that
the suns velocity through space is
about seven and one=half miles a Sec
ond, and an examination Of larger
number of stars would be necessary
before We could consider this result as
thoroughly established. From an ex-
animation of the speetra of fourteen
ueoulae, Prof. Keeler of the Lick OBJ
servatory has found yeloeities in the
line OF sight and from these the French
astronomer Tisserand has dedueed
velocity of about nine and one-third
miles for the solar motion, a result
which does not differ widely from that
found by Vogel We may, therefore,
perhaps conclude that the velocity Of
the suns motion through space IS be-
tween six and twelve miles per second.
The average velocity Of the stars meas
ured at Potsdam is about ten ard 9ne>
half miles a second and posi- the
sun may have a similar veloefs

THE THEATER IN JAPAN.
The Best Place to Go to Study the
Natives.

The theaters are the very places tc
study the Japanese, says a Toxic cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun. In
rnany theaters the entire house is di-
vided by rails into square pens four
- s5m feet, intended for four Japa-
7 - b;t often containing half dozen.
Tie en- and women are barefoot, walk
the harrow dividing rails to reach their
reserved seats" The patrons kneel
within these square pens, or, When
there are no pens, they squat upon the
floor in little circular groups and
smoke, eat, drink, fan themselves and
chatter. Many come in and go out at
random; children run to and fro.
Frequently the spectators bring lunch
con and pass the day within the the
alter, the play continuing uninteTrupt-
eddy. Ike stage, which in some the
aters reyolves to change scenes, has
two detached projections three feet
wide, extending among the audience.
Upon these projections the performers
run, reciting and acting. Their acting
Is sufficiently curious. A villain slain
walks off the stage, a Jap mops with a
dirty cloth the chief actors face while
he is speaking. The prompter, dressed
all in black tge wn, hood and girdlel.
will follow the actor all around the
stage. Other persons, also in black,
run to and fro across the stage. Those
costumed in black are supposed to be
invisible. Stage carpenters and help
ers often stand upon the stage ann
gaze and laugh at the actars, and so
on. The checking of the umbrellas
and wooden shoes of the audience and
the general scramble for them after
the performance are very amusing.

Of Kidding the town OF the pests of
mosquitoes with which it is overrun.
The doctors effectually destroyed the
larvae by distributing vast quantities
of petroleum in the swamps and other
spots where the insects bred ane the
mosquitoes were exterminated by
chlorine and other powerful d~estruc-
tive chemicals. The doctors in their
report consider 1t possible to free any
town infested with mosquitoes by this
means, provided it is not too unfayor-
ably situated. It Is an economical
remedy, costing only about $3.50 a year
for a town possessing a population OF
about $4,000 inhabitants.

known that the premier is much too
serious in his mind and occupations TO
have much regard for the merely cere-
monial side OF life. For some years
this failing produced no evil results,
for Lord Salisbury had a faithful valet,
who looked after him; but one unhap-
py day the valet left, and Lord Sails
bury was reduced TO his own resources.
1t was levee day, and the minister was
in the midst Of serious business up to
the last moment. He rushed home,
turned out a large bundle of uniforms,
OF which, of course, he has a quantity,
and took the first that came 20 his
hand, with the astonishing result that
he wore a coat that belonged TO the
elder brethren of Trinity house, a dep
uty ~lieutenant's pair of trousers, and
a hat of the Royal archers. Even that
was not the worst. He wore his gar
ter on the wrong side. and things
reached their climax in the waistcoat,
which, dating from an earlier and less
robust period in his life, left between

Origin of the silver wedding.

The first silver wedding dates back
to the time of Hugh Capet of France.
Two servants had grown gray in his
service, q nan and a woman, and what
could he give them as a reward? Call
ing the woman, he said: Your service
is great, greater than this mans,
whose service is great enough, for the
woman always finds work harder than
a man, and, therefore, I will give you
a reward. AT your age, I know of none
better than a dowry and a husband
The dowry is here-this farm from
this time forth belongs to you. If this
man, who has worked with you five
and twenty years, is willing to marry
you, then the husband is ready"
Your majesty" said the old servant,
"how is it possible that we should
marry, having already silver hairs?'
Then it shall be a silver wedding"
and the king gave the couple silver
enough to keep them in plenty. This
soon became known all over France,
and it became a fashion after twenty
five years of married life to celebrate
a silver wedding.
