Quaint Robert Grant.

Professor Schafer in The University
College Gazette tells a story about
Robert Grant, the comparative anato-
mist. a quaint figure in his day, who
always wore full evening dress ana
worked with Darwin. He used, says
Professor Schafer, to occupy house
in Euston square. near the station.
When the railway company obtained
powers to open up the square so as TO
give better access to its station, the
new street which was thus formed
passed the house occupied by Grant,
and it might be assumed that the In
creased traffic would disturb its qule-
tude and that the occupier might be
fairly entitled to compensation. AT
any rate. the story goes that the COM
pany rendered such compensation as to
q poor man like Grant was good
round sum. Grant, however, would
not accept a penny, stating that ne
could not see that the change which
was to be made would in any way In
iuriously affect him.

A BIG HOTEL BILL.
Bridegroom Thought Expenses OF
Married Life Were Heavy.

Rriderroom Thought Expenses OF
Married Life Were Heavy.
Matrimony sometimes comes high,
but that cuts no ice with the man who
once gets the marriage microbe as Dig
as a river shrimp in his veins. And
the older the victim is when the dis
ease fastens its fangs In his system
the less he cares for expenses. and ne
will spend his last dollar as if it were
q withered leaf and he owned whole
forests of fall frost touched trees.
Every one knows this peculiar weak
ness of the newly married man, ana
he is looked upon as easy money. 10
get his bank roll is like taking candy
from a baby. The chances are thou

ing woman for his wife and, after
spending a few days at Bay st. Louis,
returned to this city and put up" at
one of the leading hotels. He and the
proprietor were well known to each
other, and. as the landlord knew that
nothing was too good for his friend,
the best in the house was placed at his
disposal.
The couple remained at the hotel two
DAYS. ard then the bridegroom called
for his bill. When he saw it, his young
wife came near being a widow.
The bill was for the modest sum or
$4,000 and bore the businesslike In
scription. please settle" Making an
excuse to get away from the desk, the
Benedict hastily sought a friend ana
asked his advice. "Send your check
for the amount" was the advice he re-
ceiyed. Thinking that any fool friend
could have given that kind of advice,
the man went away back and sat down
to think the matter over.
Finally It dawned upon him that the
bill was a hoax. and. taking his
friends advice, he wrote a check on
an imaginary bank and sent it TO the
landlord. who then sent him receipt

The whole transaction was like buy
ing a gold brick with counterfeit
money.
But the man nearly dropped dead
when he first got the bill. and now ne

The state astronomer Of New South

BILE relation between the good and bad
seasons of Australia and the moons
nosition. There is lunar cycle or
nineteen years or. to be more precise
Of 6.939.G0 days. That is TO say. aitef
nineteen years the times of new ana
full moon come over again almost eN-
actly as before. Mr. RussePs Official
observations for three periods OF nine
teen years show that rain comes IN
times in abundance when the moon is
In certain degrees Of her motion south.
and when the moon begins to go north
the droughty conditions prevail for sew
en- or eight years. which" says the
astronomer SIS either a marvellous CO.
incidence or Is Il law connecting the
two phenomena" and the latter. he be-
lieyes. is the case. The first bad year
of the present cycle was in 1880. and
the droughts have persisted to such
terrible extent that from 1893 to 100
25.OOO,0 900 sheep have died OF starva-
ton ia the commonwealth. But the law
doesn't work so well elsewhere.
