blow OF the Chinese Navy.
OF the navy of one Of the oldest Of
old countries, China, very little Is
known. That China was once much
interested in sea affairs is, however,
certain. 1t is said, that long before
any other people, the Chinese knew
something Of the wonders Of the lode
stone, and even if the mariners com.
pass was not invented by them, their
knowledge of the magnet was certainly
sufficient to aid them in navigating
their ships, and helped to extend their
trading, and probably their battles,
into strange waters. So the Chinese
were bold voyagers ages ago. On
their cruisers bows was painted an
eye to denote watchfulness; and red,
o sacred color to them, was displayed
in strips of cloth which decorated the
various parts of their ship.
Chinese enterprise on the sea unfor-
tunately received death blow from
one of their own weak and self-loving
monarchs, who forbade his subjects to
cruise in waters outside of the China
Sea, for fear they should learn In
their travels any ideas which might
lead them to rebel against his tyran.
nicat government. He also ordered,
vain and uuwi3e man that he was,
that all vessels should be made in
THE shape of his imperial foot! Alas,
poor ships! this strange shape de-
stroyed all seaworthy qualities, and
any ambition in the direction of a
Chinese navy was for the time eek
tinguished.-From Some Ancient
Fleets" in St. Nicholas.

A Winged Highwayman.

We naturally wonder why wasp
cannot successfully defend itself
against a fly. But, in addition to its
sword-like proboscis, the robber-fy is
also endowed with legs of unusual
length and power. 1t is thus enabled
to hold it's victim at such a distance
that the envenomed sting cannot be
used. Powerful and swift as it's wings
are, it seldom seizes its stinging vic
Tins in mid-air, but usually hurls 1t
self on the back of the unsuspecting
wasp. Caterpillars, spiders, moths
beetles, dragon flies, and even plant
bugs are all seized and despatched by
this swift assassin.-From Nature and

Spain Has Brought Us Horses.

The Spaniards were the first to
bring horses to this continent, though
the paleontologist tells us that the
rocks abound with fossils which show
that Equidae were numerous all over
America in the Eocene period. It
is a singular fact, however, that there
were no horses in America when the
first Europeans came hither.-From

Untouched of joy, unvexed Of i'll,
Has she done aught? Why, surely, no;

No laurels won, no glory gained,
No effort crowned, no height attained;
In life she championed no cause;
Why should the passing people pause?

Hold all her heart and all her hope. 4
Too lowly she for fame's high dome,

What has she done that men should sta!
The jostling hurry of their way

The darkened mansion where she hes:
What has she done that, far and wide.

That folk in distant lands have said
To one another, "She is dead?"
Why should the lips of strangers raise
TO her monument of praise?
All, it was hers to conquer fame.

EXPLOSION IN A MINE.
Hundred Men Were at Work at the
Time but None Were Injured.

INC OUT NOTE VSTC inJOTSO'
Wilkesbarre, Pa, April Gan ex-
plosion of gas occurred yesterday Of
ternoon in No mine of the Lehigh
& Wilkesbarre Coal company. AS
soon as the report was sent out the
greatest excitement prevailed, from
the. fact that this mine is one of the
most gaseous in the Wyoming valley.
There were rumors that fifty men
were entombed, and in less than half
an hour an immense crowd gathered
about the head of the shaft and the
usual scenes ensued about the co]liery.
An investigation began at once and it
was found that the explosion was
caused by naked light carried by
miner, igniting body of gas, and the
only damage done was the blowing
down of several doors and mine brat
lice on the inside workings OF various
chambers and gangways. There were
100 men working in that portion of
the mine, and for time it was feared
they were lost. The rescuing parties,
however found them all within a
half-hour, and none was burned or in
any way injured. Succeeding the ex-
plosion there was slight firesin one
of the working chambers, but this was
speedily extinguished. The colliery
will resume work as usual to-day
