Good Place. In the Navy.

1t isn't often that government Of
fees go a-begging, but there is strik-
ing instance of that sort in the navy
department. at this time. There are
five vacancies in the corps of civil en-
gineers, and it has been found almost
impossible to get competent men to
take them. A high order of ability is
required, it is true, but the pay is not
bad for young men starting out in the
professional life. Civil engineers have
the rank and allowance of junior
lieutenant, and are paid $1,000 at the
start, with an increase of rank and pay
after five years and ten years service.
In the latter case the annual pay is
$500. Assistant civil engineers start
with the same rank, and are paid ST.
500 at first, increasing to $1,000 after
five years service. Candidates must
not be less than % years of age, and
the maximum limit for civil engineer
ing is 35 wears.

TO FIGHT THE GOBLIN MOTH.
The Department of Agriculture Will
Experiment with Birds in
California;.

Now it is the birds that are to help
in the destruction of the Goblin moth
that little insect that is doing so
much harm to the apple orchards of
California. Down at jacksonville,
where the big orchards are, the or

under the supervision of DR.. d. l..

Prof. c. w. Woodworth and Warren

These cages, of which there are to
be 10, will be large enough to envelop
a fruit tree. Into them it is purposed
to put 80 varieties of California birds,
including canaries, bluejays and lin
nets, and then to watch them closely to
discover upon what they feast most.

THEFT AND CONFESSION.
Loss of Money in Bank Discovered
Through the Aid of "a
Priest.

In one of the downtown banks the
other day the balance sheet showed
$50 missing. That started trouble for
the whole institution. Until nearly
midnight the whole force was kept
busy searching for that half century,
but to no avail, reports the Pittsburg
Gazette. The search continued the
next day and the next, but nowhere
could be found a trace of the short
change. Finally it was given up, but
the matter was not allowed to rest
there. The loss was narrowed down to
three or four clerks, and their records
were thoroughly Investigated. Not a
trace of gambling or drinking was
found, but every man in the bank who
could have gotten his hands on the
money felt the finger of suspicion
pointing his way.
The situation was tense for nearly
week. Then one morning Catholic
clergyman called on the cashier. In
the confessional he had been told by a

Vogue Of the Peacock.

Bird fanciers are predicting vogue
for the peacock. They say that people
who can afford it have been lately buy
ing hundreds of them for their coun-
try places. Ornament is one consid-
Grafton, but there is another thing that
recommends the brilliant creature in
a more practical way. Some one dis
covered not long ago that there is no
watchdog equal to the peacock as a
guardian against thieves and maraud-
ing tramps. Perched on the roof of an
arbor or outbuilding of the estate, a
peacock will announce in shrill, discord-
ant notes that can be heard mile
away the presence of suspicious look
ing strangers within the grounds.

Floating Island in England.

There is a floating island in Der
wentwater, England, not far from
Lodore falls. Its travels are re-
stricted to alterations between the
bottom of the lake and the surface.
When moved to retirement it sinks
and remains in watery seclusion for
periods which vary from few months
to as long as seven or eight years.
It's existence above or below water
appears to predetermined by the pres
ence within the island of gases whose
quantity governs it's buoyancy. Esth-
waite lake, in the same neighbour
hood, boasts a not less puzzling but
more amenable island. This has
served as ferryboat to conduct as
many as Is persons at time across
the bosom of the water upon which
it rides.

An American Tropical Laboratory.

One of the characteristic of mod
ern scientific progress is the estab-
lishment of laboratories and observa-
tories of various kinds at points
where phenomena of great interest
can best be studied, although such
points may be remote from centers
of human population and from ordi-
nary lines of travel. just now an eff
fort is making to establish scien-
tific station at the Tortugus Islands
near the coast of Florida. A consid-
cradle number of naturalists have
expressed interest in the scheme.
Some think it would be an excellent
point from which to observe the mi
grafton of birds; others that bio
logical laboratory established there
would give rich results. 1t is pointed
out that we now know more of the
life of the Red sea than we do of that
of the Caribbean sea and the gulf of
Mexico, lying almost at our doors.

THRIFTY NEW WORKERS.
Numbers mt the Savings
Banks.

New Workers are thrifty. That is
readily seen during visit to any of
the big savings banks. A call be-
tween ten in the morning and three
in the afternoon at bank near Her
aid square demonstrates this quite
palpably, says the Herald.
There is a constant stream of
young and old, wealthy and poor.
coming to deposit their savings.
There is the small boy, with his first
dollar saved; the Woodworking wom-
an, clutching in her hands the few
dollars to be laid aside for rainy
day, and the young colored "swell''
from Seventh avenue, depositing some
of his earnings at the race track
1t is not difficult to see who come
to deposit and who to draw money
The latter usually have sad express
sion of countenance, while the for
mer seem joyful and jubilant. An6
this is only natural, as persons who
can lay by money have more cause
for joy than those obliged to draw
it.

CALIFORNIA SCENERY.
There Is a Glory in 1t That Inspires
the Poets of the western
SeabOard.

AS long as there remains the love
of beauty in the human soul, so long
will the glory of California scenery,
and that of the whole Pacific coast,
prove source of inspiration to the
poetic mind, says Herbert Bashford,
in Atlantic. Descriptive verse has
been from the beginning marked
feature of the literature of this re-
gion. In fact, the term Landscape
poets may be properly applied to
this bevy of songbirds which seemed
to the late Maurice Thompson to
have taken complete possession of
the entire western seaboard." Suf-
flee to say, that if volume of verse
were written by a Californian which
reflected nothing of the states scenic
beauty or its warmth of color, it
would not only come as a surprise
to most reviewers, but the loyalty
of the poet might be seriously ques-
toned. (. While all this display
of local color may seem too apparent
an effort on the part of Californians
to place upon their work the stamp
of definite locality, and may be con.

Underground Waters.

The earth contains an abundance of
water, even in places like some of our
great western plateaus, where the sur
face is comparatively arid. The great
est depth at which underground water
can exist is estimated to be about six
miles. Below that, it is believed, the
cavities and pores of the rock are COM
pletely closed. The amount of water
in the earth's crust is reckoned at
nearly one-third of that contained in
the oceans, so that it would cover the
whole surface of the globe to depth
of from 5000 to $500 feet. The waters
underground flow horizontally after
sinking below the unsaturated zone of
the rocks, but in the sands of the Da-
kota formations, which supply re-
markable artesian wells, the mo-
tion does not exceed one or two
miles year. The undertlow
toward the sea beneath the
great plains may sometimes take the
form of broad streams or moving
sheets of water. But the movement is
excessively slow,-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Women live to a greater age in
the tropical countries than they do
in temperate chimes. The torrid zone
liable to tropical diseases than men
are, and as a rule they live longer.
In the West Indies and South
America women centenarians are too
common to be noticed. Rider Hag-
CARDS Gagool might be duplicated a
thousand times over in those regions.
Many old negresses alive to-day in
Jamaica and Trinidad were mothers
of families when they were emanci-
pated from slavery by Queen Vic
toria IS years ago.
One old woman in Barbados has
celebrated ehe coronations of four
British sovereigns, beginning with
George Nv. She fully expects TO eel
citrate another, for, as she says,
cheerfully, she is "only 90"
In Colombia and Venezuela one may
find many old women who wildly
remember the struggle of Bolivar,
the South American Washington, to
free those countries from the Span
ish yoke in the beginning of the last
century. In Hayti there dwells an
aged mulatto woman who asserts,
probably with truth, that Toussaint
L'Ouverture was her godfather.
