Fame and the Military omcer.

A new story about the late Felix
Faure is causing amusement in Paris.
He invited to dinner one day the
military officer In charge of the
Elysee. The latter was Il shy young
man and was very uncomfortable.
His discomfort increased greatly
when the President asked him point
blank: Am l popular?' The officer,
with his presence of mind entirely
gone, answered. Il do not think so,
Nj. lie President" "Why don't you
think so?" asked Faure. Getting hold
Of himself a little the officer replied:
my father told me one day that he
realized NJ. Thiers's popularity only
when he saw his portrait in ginger
bread in all the booths at the fair on
the Place du Throne. l have not yet
noticed your portrait in this guise.
M. le President" Faure thought over
this matter for some time. and then
remarked with great gravity; 'That's
true; thank you. l have not yet
thought Of that"

The proposition to establish ternln-
ais for transatlantic steamship line
at Bearhaven, on Bantry Bay, on the
west coast of Ireland, and thus short
en- the sea voyage TO Europe by 100

the subject OF favoring legislation in

that with swift vessels the trip across
the ocean may he shortened TO four

Niagara is a young river. G. Il.
Gilbert, OF the United States Geologl-
cal Survey, explains that it came into
existence after The glacial epoch. The
cataract has sawed Il slot seven miles
long, moving back four or five feet
each year. This would make the river
1000 years old. But the falls have not
always been so high, nor the crest
line so uniform, nor the volume of
water so great. From this it would
seem that the river may be anything
from seven thousand to hundred
thousand years old. No more exact
computation can be made.
