crowds of pilgrims.

A HEATED CENTER.

A HEATED CENTER.
According to our best knowledge and
belief the whole interior of the globe
Is in a molten condition. with intense
fires that seem always renewing them
selves. and which keep metals and
stones forever in a liquid state. Uf course
no thermometer of human invention
could measure tie Intense heat of the
great fires of the earth, but it is believed
that this heat is constantly varying and
that its effect is shown in the eruption of
volcanoes and by earthquakes.
me Latest theory to account for tidal
waves. therefore, IS that they are the
result of just such eruDtions. A assure
forms II. the bottom of the ocean, in the
ordinary course of the slow cooling and
contracting of the surface of the earth.
into this tissure the waters of the ocean
pereolate. There is no knowing how
deep the assure may be, but the pre-
sumption is that it penetrates down
great central fires of the earth. AS these
fires are alwys seeking a means Of egress
they will rush into any I'M of es-
cape thai is opened them.
Thus it is supposed, the flames and
heat from the center of the earth rush
into a assure leading to a sac or cavity
filled with waters from the ocean. The
result is the generation OF an immense
body of steam.
The cavity is Immediately turned into
a huge boiler, confined on all sides by
rock and earth. When, therefore, all
the waters have been turned into steam
the latter must find a means of escape
along the lines of least resistance. An
explosion follows, which is upward to
the bottom of the ocean. Thousands of
acres of the oceans bottom are suddenly
uplifted as If by a giant hand. It is the
falling back of this mass of rock and
earth that creates the -igantic ripple"
that we have come to know as the tidal
wave"
Such is the latest and most scientific
theory to account for the tidal wave.
While it is impossible, in ' W of our
meager knowledge concerning the in
terror of the earth. for us to know that
it is the correct one, it certainly has the
advantage of probability and will un-
doubtedly be generally accepted until
such time as some scientist can offer q
more reasonable one.

wonderful memory, wha vivacious spir-
it has this old man of 80 years!
Your great sculptor. Falguiere, who
has just died, has degraded his art to-
ward the end by painting nudes that
shocked decency,' remarked his holiness.
He shaped the st. Vincent de Pau Of the
Pantheon, and at no time has an artist
created figure more radiant with char
ity and pose and gestures more paternai
and affectionate.'
What will you do with my portrait?'
I will give it to your holiness
"I am much touched by your amiable
intentions. And you will exhibit it in
Paris?"
It is too late to place it in the Plais

We'll, then, place it in the building

DEAR HEART. WHERE HAST THOU
VANDERBILT"
Dear heart. where hast thou wandered?
Nnat happier regions stay
Thy lingering feet. whose coming changed
My winter into May?
Now all our slopes are burgeoned
In summers laish mood,
And deep within the grove the thrush
Has belled the solitude.
The laurels set the hillside
with many a spectral light;
Seen through the dusk, they stand like
nymphs
Expectancy in flight.
But somewhere thou dost linger,
Implacable, afar,
Though high within the twilight sky
Cleans cold our trysting star.
The brooks we loved still murmur,
Though now through dells of gloom;

A KISS AMISS.

Ny maiden aunt was questioning
About the girls l knew;
l, anxious to receive her cash
And appreciation, too,
Was praising them as models OF
Discretion and reserve;
But she was rather skeptical,
1t panied me to observe.
Said she: 81 wonder if the girls
Have changed as much as this7
Now, tell me, can you truly say
You never kissed a miss"
With honesty and candor, I
Assured her that twas true:
l vowed I'd never kiss a miss:
And she believed me. too.
You wonder how I reconciled
My Gnscience to this lie.
When / kiss every pretty girl
That let's me ION the sly).
Why, this is easily explained;
The paradox is this.
That when you kiss a pretty girl
You never kiss amiss.

Their moiety of bloom.
Still, each leaf whispers of thee;
In every path once trod
By Thy dear feet, they spirit yet
Speaks from remembering sod.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.


The delivery wagon of Wehrs' gro
Gerry was struck by a car on Second
street, above Scanned, yesterday af-
ternoon and James Lancaster, the
driver, was thrown out and for time
was thought to be seriously injured.
The wagon was demolished and the
horse was hurt. Lancaster was drlv-
ing up Second street and a big brewery
wagon was behind him. The wagon
made so much noise that he turned
aside to let it pass and on account of
the racket did not hear the car, which
was approaching, also from behind.
The car struck the wagon and before
it could be stopped had twisted the
running gear to pieces and thrown the
boy upon the pavement. He was pick
ed up unconscious and physicians
were promptly called to attend to his
injuries. His back was badly hurt and
it was thought that he suffered internal
injury, but last evening better hopes
were entertained. He is now at home
in bed.
The horse was bruised and cut by the
flll, but was not seriously hurt. No one
is blamed for the accident,

LISTLESS
Was thursdays Market After First
Hour,

There was some action in the market
during the first hour, but after that
stocks became listless, and business
was very dull.
Prices held up fairly we'll, but the
trading was nearly all done in the
early part of the session. The total
shares traded in numbered 212,1lS
Money started out at one per cent
bid, and rose to one and three-quar-
ters.
There were no features, and the clos
ing was very quiet. Considerable spec
ulation is rife, and 1t would seem that
the big fellows have the public guess
ing. Prices fer the last few days have
had a good healthy advance, and lit
tie reaction is only natural The bulls
still seem to have an abundance OF
faith in the belief that prices will &c
much higher before the summer closes
Grain, like stocks, was quiet, with
prices slightly down.
The next ten days will exert a wide
influence on the future price of corn

and much cheaper, but if it don't-wel

THE BRIDGE.

Progress of the Work.

Sub-contractor Shrakes force of men
are busily engaged in laying the last
coures of stone on the east side abut-
ment of the Putnam street bridge
preparatory to filing and getting ev-
erything in good shape for paving the
approach. The wcrk of filling will be
done next week and the earth will then
be packed and allowed to settle, in Or
der to make it solid for the paving.
The iron work of the substructure
can be completed inside of few days
ready for the laying of the floor and
the driving of riveta. This latter job
however, could be done after the bridge
is open to the public if necessary
The draw span was turned
for the first time yesterday
and although the turntable did
not work smoothly owing to
newness, the test was satisfactory, and
showed that the big structure was cap
able of bearing its own weight.
Immediately after this test, the work
men commenced taking down the scaff-
olding upon which The swing span was
built and the latter will soon be stand
ing without any support except the
piers upon which it rests.
Scaffolding is being built for the
erection of the span connecting the
draw span and the anutment and when
this is completed and the floor laid the
iron work will be done.
In conversation with a Leader re-
porter yesterday afternoon, a gentle
men who is apparently well posted on
the attitude of the bridge company,
stated that the bridge could be gotten
ready to open to the public within two
weeks, but he was unable to say wheth-
er it would be ready or not. He talked
rather obviously of The prospect of the
bridge being turned over to the city
promptly if payment Of damages for

PORTO RIcAN GOVERNMENT.
The Bill Not to BE Reported to the
House mt Present.

4 conference of the Republican members
Of he House Committee on Insular AZ
fairs was held yesterday. at which it
was substantially agreed that the bill for
the government of Porto Rico should not
be reported to the House at present, as the
Senate committee had reported the House
Porto Rican bill to the Senate with the
Foraker bill for the government of the ISL
and as a substitute. the members of the
committee present at the conference this
morning thought II would be useless TO
take up the Cooper bill until the Senate
acts on the substitute.
When it is passed. rs it is expected il
will be. and comes to the House. it will
probably be referred to the Ways and
Means Committee. and as in that event
the Committee on Insular Affairs will have
nothing TO do with the matter they
thought it would be waste of time to take
up the Cooper bill at present
