A dereiict, in mute surprise.
Where vanished is the em'rald shade?
The aislesg of the primeyal glade?
The fdeer's shrill snort. the turkeys call?
The Indians measured gutteral?

R OF THE <
His Days Dow In the Depths Of the
Great ocean Liner Full
of Danger.

Life among the stokers on board an
Atlantic liner is described by a con-
tributor who put in a voyage as an anna
teur coal trimmer. AS a coal trimmer,
he says, I had to wheel my barrow
through a narrow tunnel, fill 1t with
coal from the bunker, wheel it back
again, empty 1t at the stokers' feet and
keep on until the watch was over, but
this apparently simple occupation was
not without Its perils, says the Royal
Magazine.
The glass cylinders which show the
depth of water in the boilers may
burst twice a day, but save for an oc-
casional scalding a man is not often
injured by this. Far more serious are
the consequences Of his opening the
doors Of his furnace without first shut
ting off his forced draft. A careless
man-perhaps n who has boarded the
ship the worse for liquor-may, on
starting his watch, forget to shut of
the three checks at the side of the fur
mace which regulate this detail. On
opening the door a binding draft will
fly into his face and probably scorch him
frightfully.
There is no limit to the number Of
minor casualties. AS l trimmed at my
barrow the ship wouldsgive a sudden
lurah. and my spade would fly out of
my hand. If I wheeled It through the
tunael without knocking my head
against the side l considered myself for
tunate. With the roll Of the ship tools
would fly about in all directions. A

Side Of the stoiehold would come vio-
lentty sliding toward one If you stood
in TIE neighborhood of a hatch anything
might come suddenly down on your
head. Perhaps a shovel has been mis-
laid somewhere above, so down it would
come with a cragh.

happened to be standing near. A sea,

PROPERTIES OF RAD1uM.
Most Wonderful substance
I'm the World.

Radium makes amends for its scarcity
by Its remarkable properties. A little Of
1t goes a long way. 1t is so highly lumi-
nous that print can be read by It's light.
Curiously enough, 1t possesses the power
OF imparting Its own luminosity to other
bodies which in their normal state are
quite inactive. says an account in Wo-
mans Home Companion. A mere frac-
ton at a grain in solution poured from
one vessel to another imparts to each
considerable activity, which persists for
some time, ever after both vessels are
washed in the usual way. The property
Is similar to that Of a grain Of musk,
which imparts Its odor to every article
of clothing in a wardrobe, although there
has been no material contact. So power
ful Is the Photographic action OF radium
that it is capable of penetrating black
paper and other Opaque objects as read
lily as sunlight passes through clear glass.
It's chemical action is no less energetic
and remarkable. Oxygen is transformed
into ozone: yellow PHOSPHORUS is con-
verified into red PHOSPHORUS.
The physiological effect of radium is
such that we should, perhaps, be thank
full that large quantities Of the material
cannot be readily obtained. For six
hours Prof. Curie carried in his waist
coat pocket a small tube containing a
very small quantity OF radium. A few
days later sore developed, which healed
only after seven weeks had elapsed. The
constant handling of radium is attended
with inflammation Of the fingers. Held
against the temples Of a blind man, rad
ium will SO affect the retina that the SEN
sation of light is produced. In normal
persons the experiment If prolonged will
result in paralysis of the optic nerve.
Applied to the unprotected nerve-cen-
tiers OF small animals, the rays produce
paralyzing effects which kill.
Radium destroys the terminating
power of seeds. kills the larvae of but
t%erflies, and has such a bactericidal eff
feet that it may find a wide use in the
cure OF certain skin disease. Indeed. in
one OF the Partisan hospitals it has been
employed with results quite as remark
able as those obtained by Finsen with
ultraviolet rays. Diamonds are rem
dered phosphorescent. and can thus be
readily distinguished from paste imita-
lions. which are not so sensitive to the
rays.

A Novel Hat.

Rev. John Mathews, who was a pio-
neer Methodist preacher of Alabama,
has been remembered for his strict
views and many p~eculiarities.
His wife, who was more liberal in
her ideas, was fond Of dress, and once
sold a bureau and with the money
bought a new hat.
The following Sunday Brother
Mathews, being disturbed at the be-
ginning of his discourse by several of
the congregation turning to see the
late arrivals, said:
Brethren and sisters, don't bother
to look around any more. I'll tell Won
who comes in"
This he did. calling each one by
name, much to the modification of the
tardy members. His wife was amonp
the last. and when she walked down
the aisle he said:
Make way there for Sister Mathews
She is coming with a bureau on he,

A Countryman entered a Wood, and looked about him as though he
were in search Of something. The Trees, moved by curiosity, asked him
what it was he wanted. He answered that all he wanted was a piece
of good tough ash for a handle to his ak. The Trees agreed, that, if
that was all. he could have it. When, however, he had got it, and fitted
to his ax, he laid about him numerically, and the giants OF the forest
fell under his strokes. The Oak is said to have spoken thus to the Beech,
in a low whisper: Brother, we must take it for our pains"

Washington Letter.

! The largest party of personally con-
| Quoted tourists to come to Washington
this year arrived Thursday night and
| is distributed at the National, Regent,
Metropolitan and Effitt hotels. There
are four hundred and twenty-five in
the party and all will remain one
| week. The party came over the Bait
more and Ohio railroads and repre-
sents every city of any consequence IN
ner of New York and D. D. Courtney
of Boston have the party in charge. So
| numerous was the party that three
| and four were assigned to a room at
each hotel. All were in good humor
and accepted the conditions with ap-
parent good humor. They devoted the
first day to rest and the sightseeing
made busy week.
Washington contains SO much that
many otherwise we'll informed people
never heard of. There is the herdie,
for instance, mode of conveying pas
sengers from one street car line to an
other. Also the latrobe, mode OF
heating buildings here, which is found
in almost every house. You hard
ly ever see a coal or wood heater here.
l mention these as I never heard Of
them in any other city and l have
been in many. There are so many
circles here; the parks are square, but
the circles are where the streets and
avenues cross each other, the streets
at right angles while the avenues run
diagonally. The parks and avenues
contain the statues of the noted men
for whom they are named, such as
Lincoln park, Garfield park, etc. Most
of the statues in the circles are mount
ed on beautiful horses. There is Du-
pout circle, Washington circle, Iowa
circle, Thomas Webster and many 9TH
ers, which adds much to the beauty OF
our city. Then we have what is called
the mall reaching from the capitol to
Washington monument squares.
It contains first the botanical gardens
with everything beautiful in the way
of plants or flowers, numerous foun-
tains, driveways, rustic seats beneath
majestic shade trees, reaching the full
length of the fifteen blocks, bounded
on south side by the Government
buildings, Smithsonian institute, Ma
tional museum, Agricultural depart
ment, where it is claimed the seedless
oranges were developed) bureau OF
printing and engraving where postage
stamps are made, and the monument
near the White house and treasurey.
The Washington monument is $50 feet
high, with an elevator to take the peo-
pie up free of charge, from where you
can look all over the district. 1t GER
tainly is grand sight with the city on
one side and the grand old Potomac
river on the other, with all the devel-
oping gardens covering the valley
They have just received an old bell
from the Philippines made in1708 which
