DAY OF A THOUSAND YEARS.

For thousand years in Thy sight are
out as yesterday when it is past, and a
watch in the night."-Psalm xc., H.
And one star calls to another
The full strains of song
I'll the deeps of space glow with its grace
And ehco it full strong;
And Whiriing out of the silence
A world of worlds appears
In an onward rush through the endless
hush
And day is a thousand years.
And one star sings to another
And sun holds speech with sun,
While the drifting veil of a |apor pale
SHOWS another world begun.
But We count time by a dawning
Or mark by a twilight fall
Yet the stars sing out when the years are
gone,
And what are we, after all?
The words and the hopes and doubtings,
The joy and the dreams and dread,
And the puny lives in the puny hives
Where toll is done for bread
A day, night, and another
A round OF the spinning ball;
sigh and a smile for the briefest while
And what are we, after all?
And one star calls to another
A song we may not know;
Calls distant sun 10 dying sun
AS the ages come and go.
And we mark time by a minute
And Groom over smiles and fears
But the stars sing on when the worlds are
gone,
And day is a thousand years

on the trade of southern italy for
1902, an interesting account is given
or the method of capturing the octo-
pus in the Mediterranean. At the
end of a long bamboo-pole is hung a
line baited with piece of red rag:

rocky hiding places of the octopus. is

In his efforts to get near the bait the
creature is enticed towards the boat,

armed with a trident, and at the
right moment the octopus is impaled
on it's spikes. By night a bright
light is used to attract the prey. and
this in past times would take the form
of an iron cradle full of resinous
pine, which was carried at the head
of the boat. But science has stepped
in, and the fishermen now employ an
actylene lamp, which seems to be as
attractive to the octopus as a red rag.
Unusually large catches have been
made since this form of light was
adopted; and, although it's pioneers
tried to keep it secret, they did not
succeed in doing so, and now so
many octopods are being caught that
the consul general is of opinion that
the coast will be overfished. That
however, is not likely to be the case
for the octopus comes of very pro.

RADIUM AND VEGETATION.
Newly Discovered Metal Ia n Source
of Much JOY to Scientific
EXperimenters.

rarely has the scientific world been
SO puzzled and tickled over any dis
covery as it has been by that of the
rare metal, radium. 1t possesses three
or four kinds of invisible radiation.
one OF which resembles that of an
A-ray tube; emits a faint luminosity
IN the dark, eXcites the same in a
limited number of minerals, and it
remains at a slightly higher tempera-
ture than its SurrOundings-say two
or three degrees Fahrenheit. Owing
TO the enormous cost Of extracting it
from the one variety of rock in which
1t is found. the price is too high to
leave the article within the reach of
the common people, and, to tell the
truth, it is yet doubtful whether it
can be put to any practical use. Per-
haps it can be employed as a substi-
tute for X-ray tubes, in the treatment
of disease, but it is too soon to be
sure about that. In the meantime all
sorts of experiments are being tried
with it,

Southern HarbOrs.

A noticeable contribution to the pres
ent excellent economical situation in
the south is to be seen in the improve
ment of terminal facilities, with a view
to large expectation of southern pro-
ducts from southern ports. Harbors
are looked after, wharves are built and
railroad tracks are run out to deep
water. Much of the grain trade has
thus been attracted away from north
ern ports.
