NAY DAYS ~ PROSPECT PARK.
Flowers. Trees, shrub, and Grass Now Make q

The ~lateness Of the season, combined with
two very hot days and the subsequent frequent

trees riot in an unusual luxuriance OF leaves

variety is in full bloom. The lilacs. white and
lavender. are heavy with blossoms the dog

A HIGH PRICED PIANO.
one That Was Made Tor Fah""
Belgian Artist at Cost
of s25,0OO.

A wonderful piano has been made by
Ian Van Beers, the Belgian artist,
whose portraits of beautiful women are
famous. She painter owns one OF the
most remarkable houses in PARIS ana
has given years 10 the study OF interior
decoration, says the New York Com
nercial Advertiser. He admits that
the exquisite instrument which he IS
going 10 exhibit at the exposition next
summer is probably the most beantl-
full piano of aneien; or modern times
OF course, only the she'll or case Is his
work: whose make the instrument
shall be will be determined by the pur-
chaser. The body of the piano Is OF
natural wood. tinted green; the legs,
garlands, Cupids and all the ornamental
tons are Of bronze, gilded and chiseled
BY the ablest sculptor of Louis Quinze
bronzes in Paris. The fine sketches
which appear on the sides and on the
front of the piano are paintings by the
artist himself and represent the four
seasons. and a minuet danced in the
park in the days of Louis Ky, all after
the manner Of Vatican.
The designer has tried as far as pos
sible TO convert those parts of the piano
which are ordinarily ungraceful and
awkward into something decorative
and harmonious. The pedals, which
generally represent Tyre, are replaced
by the owners Initials. One bronze
Cupid, at the touch Of a spring, offers
his violoncello as a support for the cover
when open. This cover IS lined with
small plaques of ivory, each surround
ed by a Louis Quinze frame of bronze,
where some day distinguished must
clans will write their names, using for
this purpose the sheath and arrow Of a
Cupid al the left, which have been in
geniously converted into inkstand and
pen. The music, resting on a small
frame Of bronze. which glides forward
upon a spring. is lighted by two delicate
electric flowers, and the musician is
thus left in an agreeable half-light.
The total cost of the piano viii not be
less than $4,000.

DAILY FRESHETS
Regularity of Rising and Falling OF
the Rivers and Streams In
Alaska

To most people who live in the tenn
perate zones, the annual freshets oe-
easioned by the melting Of the winter
SHOWS ard by the unusually heavy rains
e spring are matter Of familiar OBJ
servafi0u. Under higher latitude and
u the neighboThod Of glaciers. other
phenomena are to be studied. An Eng
Ish traveller IN Alaska has the follow
ing 70 report about the rivers Of that
country, says Youths Companion.
The Takheena, ike most streams OF
glacial origin, was subject to a daily
rise and fail. The distance Of It's
sources caused the water TO increase
in volume and in swiftness from noon
70 midnight, after which il continued
TO decrease from midnight to noon.
The daily rise measured from six to
ten inches, according 10 the heat Of
the weather; the daily fall measured
from five 10 eight inches during the
time the fine weather lasted.
After a few days Of cloudy. rainy
weather, found the river falling from
day 70 day about as fast as it had risen
during the fine weather.
1t IS worthy Of remark that during
fine weather l Invariably found the
wind during the daytime in the Chilcat
valley blowing up from the sea. 1t
began in the forenoon with gentle
breeze, which gradually increased to
a smart gale, that died quite away by
sunset. During the night there was
either no wind. or else ii blew in the
contrary direction. This regular move
ment Of the atmosphere no doubt has
much 10 do with producing the regular
daily rise and fan of the river.

THE DOUBLE EAGLE.
As 1t Appears In the Arms OF Russia
and Ausrrln l. of Ancient
Origin.

The eagle, as an emblem Of authority,
is 50 old that il would Doe impossible TO
clearly trace its origin. II Is found
upon the most ancient sculptures that
have yet been discovered. and was no
doubt one OF the very oldest OF the
iotems. or tribe signs. The early Per
sian empire appears TO be the first
which adopted il as an imperial en-
blem. Among the Greeks the eagle was
the emblem of Jove. The Romans also
adopted the eagle as their standard,
and so il became tie token 81 Roman do
minion. When Constantine became em-
peror he adopted the dnuhie-heuded
eagle as the insignia OF his authority
over east and west. When the German
empire came into being in the twelfth
century this emblem IVES revived as be-
ing that of the Holy Roman empire. and
Rudolph of Hapshure adopted it as his
imperial arms. II appeared the Rus
