He dwells not on the broad prairie
Where sings the wind in festive tune
And prairie-dOgs play hide-and-seek.
And hungry coyotes bay the MOON
Oh no. not there! Nor yet afar
Where winter SHOWS since time began.
In silent majesty have played
Freeze-out, and held the winning hand.
Nor doth he wend his quiet way
In peaceful haunts, where lowing kline
Chew cuds in calm accompaniment
To squeezing herds of hungry swine
His home is not in forest wild.
Where tall pine trees make lumber. when
The Minneapolis milionaires
Make lumber-jacks of Norskey-men.
He lives not on plantations broad
In mines, or on a cattle ranch

Over n Geyser.

The author of "a Ramble Rouno
the Globe" tells of some surprising
experiences encountered in the region
of geysers and hot springs in New
Zealand. One day he patronized the
photographer in Whakarewarewa.
Being interested in photography, he
went into the dark room to see the
negative developed, and there expert.

Just as the photographer was begin
ming operations, the wooden floor,
which was about foot from the
ground, seemed to get unsteady, and
there was an omincus bump, bump,

the reverse of reassurng. The pho.
tographer explained matters.

ming to work, said he. "I have three
below here that work at regular inter-
vals-the one just starting, another
one there"-pointing to corner
"and the other one just underneath
where you are standing"
Geysers! Startingl I could see
them better outside, so outside went.
Idon't quite remember now whether
Iopened the door, or whether it opened
of its own accord, or whether it fell
down; but I know that in my anxiety
to see the marvellous sight, I didn't
take long IN getting out of that dark
room.
The photographer went on with his
work coolly, and let the baby geyser
bubble and gurgle u2der his floor in
its own sweet way, while I, watching
it from a position of advantage, ex-
pected every minute to see the "dark
apartment" lifted high into the air on
the summit of boiling column.
But no; the building stood firm, the
photographer developed the plate, and
the infantile geyser gurgled and fixed
itself out.

The slow tapping of butterAy's
wings, according to Sir John Lub-
book, produces no sound, but when
the movements are rapid a noise is
produced, which increases in shrill-
ness with the number of vibrations.
Thus the house fly, which produces
the sound F, vibrates it wings 81, 100
times minute, and the bee, which
makes a sound of A, as many as 26,-
400 times. Professor Marcy, the nat
uralist, has succeeded by delicate
mechanism in confirming these num-
bers graphically. He fixed fly so
that the tip of the wing just touched
cylinder which was moved by clock
work.

Loolsing After Its Soldiers.

A young army officer, who has seen
service ON the Arizona plains and on
the Maine coast, and who is now in
experience, to show the accuracy with
which the War Department follows the
movements of officers.
''I was with a small scouting party
in Arizona" he says, "and after two
weeks in the desert my squad came to
the railroad near a small station.
Within ten minutes dispatch from
Washington was brought to me by
the station agent. 1t asked if wished
to be transferred to one of the two
new artillery regiments then forming.
81 answered by telegraph that I
should be glad to enter either of
them. Then we set off again across
the desert.
SIT was six days later when we
again struck the railroad, this time
eighty miles from the point at which
we had previously crossed it. But
my reply from the department was
awaiting me. 1t had been telegraphed
to every station within two hundred
miles.
ga more striking instance of accur-
acy occurred after my transfer to the
East. 1 was travelling home on leave,
and as the regulations require, 1 had
Dotifed the department OF the day,
hour and probable route of my jour-
ney. After I had been on the train
for eight hours. at small station the
porter entered with telegram, ask
ing if any one of my name was pres
ent. On opening the dispatch, [
found that it was from the adjutant-
generals office, ordering me on de-
tached duty,
''Exactness of detail could not be
carried much farther. The depart
ment knew the whereabouts OF an in
significant second lieutenant, even
when he is travelling on leave of ab-
sence."

In an interval in the drilling one OF

upon the scheme of budding from the
seedless naval trees upon Seeding
trees. Experiments along that line
were successful. 1t was found that o
bud taken from one of Tibbetts's twS
naval orange trees and grated into
she bark of Seeding tree would
grow to be limb, which bore seed
less naval oranges. Then Mr.. Tib-
belts grew tiny Seeding orange trees,
just as had been done by orange
growers for ages, aud budded into
the trunk of each little tree several
naval orange buds. When the buds
had become branches OF the trees, he
cut away all the original or Seeding
branches. leaving only the naval orange
branches to bear fruit. In this way
he easily created naval orange trees,
and the problem of growing seedless
oranges was solved.
The planting of groves of seedless
orange trees propagated from buds
from the two original trees on the
Tibbets place began in earnest
throughout southern California in
the winter of 1892. In the following
year the demand for buds from the
Tibbetts trees was so large that a
dozen buds sold frequently lor So,
and some growers, desirous of getting
navel orange buds of genuine quality
paid 81 each for buds. In 1884 the
two Tibbetts trees furnished buds
that sold for $500, and tall fence
was built about them to keep people
from stealing buds. A year or two
later the orange trees that had been
propagated from the Tibbetts trees be-
gan to bear, and they themselves
furnished tens of thousands of navel
buds as good as those from the orig
inal trees. Then the first navel or
ange groves began to bear fruit, and
from that time the boom in navel
orange groves has continued. No one
plants seeding orange trees nova
days, aud tens of thousands of seed
ling trees have been budded into ma
vel orange trees.
The two trees from which have
come, directly and indirectly, all the
navel oranges in the world, are still
on the old Tibbetts ranch in River
sluc. OluCe 4ur. llDDdbIS EeC6lNeu

vel oranges, and just now the River

are urging that the two trees should
be removed to the public park and
there surrounded by an iron fence, so
that the interesting history of the
seedless navel orange may be the bet
ter preserved in another generation.

/ Lad Who Tried to Fool the FinancfeT
Brought UP With = Sharp Turn.
Russell Sage, the great New York
financier, was trudging homeward
through Forty-second street at 7.45
O'Clock p. m, when he was surrounded
by four or five newsboys, each eager
to sell him paper. The boys knew
him well apparently, for three or four
times he was addressed as "Mr. Sage"
and "Russell Sage" by the twisting,
bustling and noisy little fellows. Mr..
Sage asked for a certain edition Of
certain paper, and the smallest boy
IN the bunch thrust upon him what
was thought at the time to be the de.
sired paper. Mr.. Sage paid him and
! slowly walked on toward his home.
He reached the corner of Madison
avenue, glanced at his purchase,
looked about, hesitated an instant
and then grimIy and slowly walked
back to where the "newsies" were
taking. Peering about till he identi.
fed the lal he had patronized, he
said
"Here, boy! This isn't the paper
I asked for"
Crestfallen, the lad took back the
paper, and Mr.. Sage held out his
hand, saying: "Come, sirl want my
money back"
The grimmy little hand went down
into the trousers pocket and brought
back cent, which finally found lodg-
ment in Mr.. Sage's palm. Mr.. Sage
somewhat wearily hunted up another
urchin with the right edition of the
right paper, and then retraced his
steps homeward.
"What did you try to cheat Mr..
Sage for?" asked the reporter.
"Well," said skinny" Martin, the
newsboy, hesitatingly, as if half
ashamed of his wrong, "y' see; biz.

Wingate's victory over the khalifa at
ON Debrikat, where the dervishes were
routed and the khalifa killed. Her
