Earth a ryramId IN shape.

Since the earth was first formed
many theories have been advanced as
to its shape and the process Of its
formation, but no one until our day
ever maintained that its form was that
of a huge pyramid. Centuries ago Py-
thagoras and Aristotle declared that it
was spherical, Anaximander that it
was shaped like column, Democritus
that 1t was concaye disc and very
much resembled a huge porringer. EN-
pedocles and Anaximenes that 1t was a
plane disk, and zenofanes that 1t had
roots like a tree, which spread in all
directions far into the infinite. Now
comes ]. Greene, an English scientist,
and government official in the Sand
witch islands, with the bold announce
ment that all these ancient theories,a as
well as the modern ones, are utterly
baseless, since, according to him. the
earth has the form of triangular py-
ramid, or, in other words of regular
tetrahedron, with Che apex at the south
pole and the base at the north.

From the London Mail: The Boer
may be fairly good at handling rifle,
but he is sadly deffcfutt IN his ability
to handle. pen. When the average
Boer has to attach his name to docu-
ment an air of Importance pervades his
dwelling for several hours. The chill
dren are constantly chided, the patient
"vrouw" has a preoccupied look and
the husband himself puffs even more
vigorously than usual at his pipe.
Eventually a corner of the table is
cleared and carefully wiped. The fam
lily Bible is placed in position and the
sheet of paper requiring the signature
placed upon it. An expectant silence
falls upon the company. rStiltel"
cries the wife. "Stilte, kindetjes, papa
gaat sein mann tekenp (cHush, chill
dren, father is about to sign his
name.') The family stands round open
mouthed, and all eyes gaze expectant-
ly upon the paper. With arms barred
for the fray, and with pen carefully
poised, the Boer bends to his task. The
pen is gripped firmly between his
horny fingers. In thick, ungainly
scratches, and with slow and painful
motion, the pen begins to work, and
at the end of, it may be four minutes,
the deed is accomplished.

soon as the ceremony is over. So, If
you please"
The gentlemen did not look as If
they were inclined to follow. They
left the window with evident reluc-
lance, but they did leave it and, I'm
der Maxwell's escort, went to the
drawing-room.
Here they found William with Flor
ehce, the latter half-bewildered by the
rapidity with which events had fol-
lowed each other. While waiting in
terrible anxiety for news, her mag
ination conjuring up the most terri
BILE possibilities, Roland suddenly
stood before her, free and unframed,
and in hurried words told her that
she must be ready to be married at
once. HiN,
He had at last entered with the ut
most zeal into Maxwell's bold plan,
which had at first seemed out of the
question. Ii was really the only way
to secure his bride and prevent any
later intrigues Of Edward He had
an inviolate right to claim his wife,
Happen what might in Springfield, she
belonged to him alone. The brief de-
lay which would be caused by the cere-
mony was really not so dangerous as
it seemed Captain Wilson could hard

From the moment they discovered
the identity of the two strangers all
hostility was at an end. They be-
longed to the ranks of the .libera-

mistress as much as they feared in
Edward the stern master. The last
few months, during which he had had
the reins of government, had shown
the whole household what was to be
expected from the new master. Now
he had mysteriously vanished Per-

lost sight of any possibility, had TAX

Of the peace, Mr. Thompson, who, with
the utmost readiness to oblige, in
stantly consented to crafty your
wish"
William looked al the magistrate,
whose pale face and shaking knees
distinctly showed how he had been
induced to show this Wanted oblig-
ingness. The affair, which afforded
his friend a malicious satisfaction, was
extremely painful to him. Ia
Calm yourself, sir" he said, APP
preaching him. "You are perfectly
safe. Neither you nor your oompan-
ion needs fear. deeply regret that
we were forced to put the request in
such a form, but the circumstances
compelled it. AS soon as the wedding
is over, you can return to the city"
The old gentleman again breathed
freely. He had Imagined the lieuten-
ant a far more terrible parsonage than
the doctor, and now he proved to be
the more humane of the two. But Mr..
THOMPSON preferred to place himself
close to Miss Harrison as quickly as
possible. If he stood close by her
side, no one could fire at MIN.
Meanwhile, Maxwell had given the
marriage contract, which had been
handed to him, brief, yet thorough
scrutiny, and now again laid it on
the table,
Everything is correct" he said.
''The names are still missing. Please
insert them. Mr. William Roland
Miss Florence Harrisonl There, now
we can begin"
The magistrate had so far recovered
that he could commence the cere-
mony, which was performed very
quickly, but in strict legal form. The
usual questions We're asked and an
swered, the signatures We're affixed,
and in less than ten minutes the we'd
ding was over. William, deeply NOV
ed, clasped his young wife to his
heart.
Maxwell glanced toward the door,
where Ralph had appeared during the
last moment, but remained standing
motionless in order not to interrupt
the ceremony. The doctor exchanged
few words with him in low tone,
then turned to the young couple.
Mrs. Roland, please go to your
father, William, you can accompany
your wife. There is no fear that your
presence will disturb the sick man
don't leave her alone nowl"
A significant glance emphasized the
words. William understood that the
last moments of Mr.. Harrison's life
were at hand, and putting his arm
around his wife he led her to her
dying father

81 hope, sir, that you are not ven
turing upon a Jest with me, the JUS
tice of the peace! How does it hap
pen that you have anything to do with
such matters? Who is this Roland,
and what does Mr.. Harrison say to
the AFFAIR.""
Nothing at all, because for the
moment he is in very uncomforta-
BILE situation, which prevents any pro-
test. But, as to my authority, allow
me to. show it to you"
The barrel of a revolver was sud-
denly presented to the old gentleman,
who. with a cry of terror, fed to the
recess of the window, leaving both
dignity and dinner in the lurch. The
clerk, on the contrary, who had lis
tened with mouth wide open, sat as If
paralyzed with terror. nt.
"Helpl Murder! Robbers!" shouted
Mr.. Thompson; but terror so stifed
him that the cry sounded piteous

Don't scream, SIR said Maxwell,
quietly. I'VE can come to a friendly
agreement. AS l said, the point in
question is merely wedding. The
bridegroom is my friend, Lieutenant
William Roland have the pleasure

THE whole Union army?" exclaim-
ed Thompson, with fresh outburst of
horror.
No; not the whole army-there
wo.ld scarcely be room for it on the
plantation-but our regiment. l told
you during our drive that the troops
were marching in this direction. But
we desire, for certain reasons, to have
the ceremony performed first. The

you will be, too. / place myself at

Alfred Harmsworth, proprietor of the London Mail, who edited the New Years edition of the New York World. in tabloid" form which he considered the ideal makeup" for the twentieth century, requested crit icisms of the issue and offered E1OO to the writer of the first letter he picked out of the entire correspond ence.

Harms worth, shortly after noon. reached to the center of the pile and took the first letter that his hand touched. It was in an envelope of the Unitype company, whose offices are on the twentieth floor of the same building. The writer was Herbert l.. Baker. the general manager, former = .wspaper man. His letter was as follows:
 "Tbe Word in its tabloid form does not seem to have much to it. though perhaps it is all there. like the form very much. but I don't care for scare heads. long-winded stories, etc."
 Mir. Baker was summoned.
