The EARTHs UPWARD MOVEMENT.

CURVEYORS. WHEN LOOKING for stakes driven
years before their time, nave often noticed that
- they were buried at what seemed an unreasonable
depth Recent scientific experiments show that the
movement of the earth Is gradually upwards. Objects,
such stones placed "a fat s-cund surface viii be
come buried b, the lapse of year,
This has been proven 10y reports made TO the Revue
Scieuthque. Ia 1871 the experiment vas begun y fat
pasture, which had been used for this purpose for fifty
years was chosen the site. IN the earth was fas-
tened a strong copper bar, the lower end being some
eight feet below the surface and the upper end serving
as The fixed point for measurements.
Over the projecting end of the bar was placed a s1one
crcuiar in form end with hole in the middle through
which the bar passed In eight years descent of
nearly three quarters of inch was noted Careful OBJ
servations showed that the stone descended more
rapidly dry weather than in rainy seasons Il even
Erose slightly in wet weather.
The descent fast first but I'm recent years It
has been less rapid and regular This is explained
y the theory that the decomposition of the grasse,
7n which the stone rested hastenel irs downward
course After nearly twenty-five years Inc stone with
which this experiment. was made has sunk nearly two
4nches and a half
Smaller articles go toward the center of the earth
even rapidly. The experiment Is interesting be-
cause of Its bearing city structures While 1t Is
hardly probable that any building will ever last as long
it would take for the earth TO engulf IT, IT might
pink far enough TO threaten the foundations and en-
anger the lives of the occupants. The surcst way to
avoid the possibility is to start no large structure
bove hardpan.

NEW GROUND FOR DIVORCE.

\ I ANY AND MANY A MAN has had snakes in
M his boots" venomous tarantalas in hj clothes
- and little blue devils in the atmosphere mme
diatcly surrounding him. This Is unfortunate con-
dition attending prolonged inebration but the victims
at least have the satisfaction of extracting JOY
from the preliminary proceedings. When man who
is strictly temperate, to the point of rigid alb
stemousness, finds snakes in his bed, he has good,
strong kick coming.
At least that Is what Walter B. Hedler Of Paterson,
y. J.. thinks. While vet a young man, the obituary
notices say Mr. IIedler married charming young
woman We say charming" advisedy, for she charmed
snakes in a side show, and if a woman charm the
sapient serpent what is man that he should resist her.
For a time all went well with Mr.. and Mrs. Hedler
After the honeymoon had passed into history,
though Mrs Hedler began TO long for the companions
of her single days. She might have said, did the
original of her The serpent beguiled me-" No
matter what she said it is what she did that is making
New Jersey history She went back to the serpents.
Furthermore she brought the aforesaid serpents her
husband and above his violent protest So vexed
was Mr. Hedler that he has brought suit for divorce.
Surely these paragraphs of his petition enough
to move the stOniest heart He says:
Your petitioner shows that since the marriage Of
your petitioner his said wife Evelyn has continuously
kept and maintained assortment of venomous snakes
and reptiles in the house of your petitioner this being
done without the consent and permission Of your petit
toner
And your petitioner further shows that on or about
the 2nd day of December, 1900, about II O'Clock D. M
the said Evelyn S. Heder did retire for the night with
your petitioner, and that after having retired the
said Evelyn did arise, and going the receptacle in
which housed the venomous snakes and reptiles
did take therefrom three snakes and came with them
into the couch of your petitioner.
And your petitioner further shows that after hav-
ing toyed with the snakes some time one OF them did
bite your petitioner the left thigh causing the same
to swell and occasioning your petitioner excruciang
pain and necessitating your petitioners immediate
visit to Dr. Victor f. Reilly"

JOHN DRYDEN's HOUSE.
The Place Where Many Poets Net to
Be Demolished.
New York Press.)


London, Oct. 17.-TOday men are at
work demolishing John Dryden's old
house in Gerard street, Soho, and by
the time this is printed the part of
the house most intimately associated
with the poet will have disappeared.
For long time the house-which is
marked with a faded tablet-has been
in dilapidated condition, most Of the
windOWpanes broken. all of them filthy
with CRIME, ITO let signs disiguring
the street front and the area filled with
all sorts Of rubbish. In consequence of
this neglect the London county council
condemned the building and ordered
that the entire front part which in
cludes the cold room in which Dryden
used to work. and the cOrkscresv stair
case. with its mahogany banisters, up
which he used to trudge, should come
down.
Gerard street itself is a short block
tucked away in a cheap neighborhOOd.
now chiefly given up to the second
hand clothes and furniture trade: but
in 100, when Dryden lived there, it
was a mighty different place Appar-
emily the houses were not numbered in
those days. for the poet wrote to a
friend If either your lady or YOU
shall at any time honor me with a
letter, my house is in Gerard street,
the fifth door on the Ieft-hand side
coming from Newport street. Now il
is plain No. 49,
Both house and street have still other
and equally interesting associations.
Alexander Pope writes that he also
did some work in the little front room.
Leigh Hunt used to go out Of his way
to pass the house, and Tom Moore and
Sidney Smith one day braved a drench-
ing rainstorm to pay it a visit The
old public house, The Turks Head"
formerly In the neighborhood, was one
OF the foregathering places of DR..
Johnson, Sir Joshua Reynolds. Boswell
and Goldsmith. and they founded a lit
erary club which held its meetings
there. Not far away. in the house
that is now Nos "a and IS. lived Lord
Mohun, and from It he went out to
fight his famous duel with the Duke
OF Hamilton Gerard street also held
the home of the Earl Of MaccIesfeId
and his notorious countess. but the
house was torn down in 1885. Years
after the earl's time. however, Charles
kembie lived in Gerard street, and
gathered about him all literary and
artistic London.

The senator's friends of both parties would hike

in the Democratic platform that did not suit him. but
he did not. He is much Of politician TO believe
he can be effective as an Independent; possibly he real
lies that he achieve very little for himself his
