Wisdom is not the same as under
standing; nor is it talent, or capacity,
ability, sagacity, sense, or prudence;
neither will all these together make it
up. 1t is that exercise of the eason
into which the heart enters-a struc-
ture of the understanding rising out OF
the moral and spiritual nature. 1t is for
this cause that a high order of wisdom
that is, a highly intellectual wisdom
is still more rare than a high order
of genius. When they reach the very
highest order they are one; for each
includes the others, and intellectual
greatness is matched with moral
strength.

MOTOR INSIDE THE SPHERE.

out any visible means or propulsion.
The gist of the invention is to mount
a motor within the hollow body, as.
shown, in such a manne hat it's
weight will overcome the force of the
spring which, as will readily be un-
derstood, will cause the ball to re-
volve instead of the motor. The lat
ter is pivoted on a spindle extending
from wall to wall inside the ball, the
spindle being rigidly attached to the
sphere. A winding shaft projects in
line with the small slot beside the
spindle, and when the key is inserted
in the slot and the ball held tightly
in the hand the spindle and shank Of
the key prevent the motor from turn
ing and permit the spring to be wound.
When the ball is under way the slot
is invisible, and as the mechanism is
almost noiseless there is nothing to
indicate that the ball is not bewitched,
causing much amusement to those un-
acquainted with the interior mechan-
ism.

HOW THE SEA RETAINS LIFE.

One of the reasons formerly urged
against the existence of living crea-
lures in the abysses of the ocean was
the supposed absence of oxygen there.
1t was deemed impossible that any
considerable quantity Of oxygen could
exist at great depths. But recent dis
coveries have shown that there is no
lack of oxygen even at the greatest
depths. The explanation is that the
cold water of the polar regions,
charged with oxygen from the atmos-
phere, creeps along the bottom toward
the equator, from both poles, and thus
carries a supply of oxygen over the
whole vast floor of the oceans. The
surface water moves toward the poles,
and 80 a great system of circulation
exists. "Were it 1ot for the world
circulation" says Prof. G. c. Nutting.
sit is altogether probable that the
ocean would in time become too foul
to sustain animal life, at least in its
higher manifestations, and the sea, the
mother of life, would itself be dead"

Napoleon Pierre Guicheveau, 113
years old, died recently at Braeux
Bridge, La. Guicheveau was born in
France in 1888 and emigrated to Amer
lea at the age of SIS. After a short res
idence in New York city he came to
Louisiana and settled at Breaux
Bridge, where he married, and during
his phenomenal years of life retained
the respect of the community. Up to
the hour of his death Guicheveau re-
tanned his sight, hair and all his facul-
ties.

The millionaire Crawl S%olodovni-
koff, who recently died at Moscow, left
all his possessions, valued at 5000, 900
rubles, for the founding of high
schools for girls, training schools for
workmen and cheap lodging houses for
the poor. During his life he had al
ready spent large sums for a music
school and a hospital, yet he was not
esteemed wealthy because in private
life he was known as a miser and an
memorable creditor.

aiding in securing a irmer grip on the
rope. BY Tightening the fingers around
the sleeve it increases the internal
friction until the desired rate Of speed
is attained. 1t is an easy matter to
insert the rope through the split in the
sleeve, and when not in use the grip
is not too large to be carried about the

following soon after. A Washington
dispatch says that after the debut Of
Miss Lucille Blackburn a young attache
of the Spanish embassy, whose wife
has since died, became her avowed and
ardent worshiper. She married Mr..
Lane, however, whose tragic death
made her a widow some time ago. Ro-
mances in the Blackburn family have
not alone been confined to the present
generation. Senator Blackburn's ia
ther, DR.. E. M. Blackburn, was the
owner of a famous bluegrass farm, on
which were foaled horses known to ev-
cry turfman the world over. He was
the father of nine stalwart sons and
neighbors were the Steels and the Blu
fords. But, as has been recorded OF
friends and neighbors since Bible
times, differences arose.. In n or
them DR.. Blackburn lost an eye as a
tr4oute to the superior fistic skill Of old
Abe Buford in a debate over division
fences. The other dispute was more
deadly in its nature, his third son fall
ing before the pistol of young Captain
Steel in a duel brought about by the
heat of a political campaign. He left
a widow, to whom many paid court,
but the successful sutton of them all
i was his younger brother, James. OF
the three sisters two were married to
the same man-General Thomas Flour
noy of Arkansas. The elder sister died
shortly after his marriage to her, and
then General Flournoy pleaded his
suit with the equal success with the
younger. The third sister married
Judge Morris of Chicago, who was
known during the civil wal as a cop.
perhead,'' and was imprisoned for his
outspoken sympathy with the South
ern cause and for aiding prisoners tt
escape. All the brothers married, anC
several of them set the example Which
Senator Blackburn is now following
that of marrying the second time. The
people in the mountains near Rock
castle tell the story of a Blackburn

lesson that he had never learned be

He argued that in everything but tn

Less than one hundred dollars, spent
by the Improvement League of Mont
clair, New Jersey, has done more to
cleanse and beautify the place, says
the town council, than the thousands
of dollars the town has expended in
conventional ways. The league began
by offering prizes for clean and orderly
back yards and alleys, and went on to
give prizes for the best vine-covered
fence, the finest vegetable plot and the
most beautiful Towering plant. Then
it organized the children to pick up
waste paper from the streets, keep the
school yards neat, and tidy up the
vacant lots. In six months Montclair
became a ~noticeably attractive place,
and a wholesome one, too, for the
death rate had perceptibly lessened.

In many OF the western and midland
counties of England the nineteenth
century closed with the most terrible
floods within living memory. Happily
few lives were lost, but hundreds of
folk-mostly poor-were washed out of
hearth and home. Farmers, small and
great, lost cattle, sheep and poultry,
and immense damage was done to all
kinds of property. One comic incident
was remarked at Alcester in Worces-
tershire. When the wa or fell the rec
tor took his walks abroad to see what
loss he had suffered. As he passed
through an orchard he was greeted
with the piercing squeals of a per-
picked pig, which had got mixed up in
the boughs of a damson tree. Probably
it had been borne into the branches by
the rising food. When the waters
went down it was left high, and pos
sibly dry, but terrified out of its wits.
