NOT 4 FOOLISH VIRGIN.

 Even women who are anxious to get
 married are not all foolish virgins. A man at Cherryvale, Kansas, advertised
 for a wife. A damsel in North Caro- lima responded, and an engagement was quickly arranged by correspondence
 The other day the damsel arrived from her southern home, the man having lsupplied the passage money. They met 1 at the depot, were satisfied with the ap- Ipearance of each other, and the man went out to get the license after lodg- | ing the young woman in hotel. He
 was gone some time, and when he re- appeared he was a little under the in-
 fiuence of liquor. At once the girl call ed the wedding off, declaring that she would marry no man who thought So I little of her as to come to his wedding in such a condition. Moreover, she

 The phenomenon, in the changes in the level Of the sea is one which is well shown in the case of the Mediter- ranean. 1T. Ph. Negris. in recent brochure presented to the Academy of Sciences, furnishes interesting infor- nation on this point. it being apparent that the sea has greatly increased in depth as compared to ancient times. Formerly a bridge three thousand feet long united Leucade to the continent, To-day it is submerged, but the foun- dations of the work were discovered eleven feet beneath the surface. It may therefore be concluded that since the construction of the bridge the sea has risen at this point over nine feet. At Itea, in the bay of Arnphissa, there has been observed a mole that is also over nine feet beneath the surface. At
 Rhenee there has been found a com
 pletely submerged dock, evidently of
 Roman construction, the depth of the
 sea above the dock at places being fully nine feet. From all of these facts
 one may conclude that there has taken place an important increase in the depth of the sea since the Roman per-
 iod, the Mediterranean having risen at
 least nine feet in about two thousand Iyears.

GREAT VAR WORK.

If the Japanese have omitted any
 thing that would give them success in their war we should like to know what it is. Perhaps no nation ever carried on war so thoughtfully and skillfully.
 A. good illustration of their work Is the preparations made by them to guard against torpedo boat attacks on their transports landing troops and supplies at Yentoa. Yentoa bay is within easy distance from both Port Arthur and
 Talienwan bay, scarcely more than two hours from the former for a torpedo
 boat or destroyer and about an hour from the latter. Realizing the possibil- ity of failure in the attempt to close the harbor of Port Arthur by sinking stoneladen hulks in the channel, and with Talienwan as an additional men
 ace, the Japanese resorted to an un- usual screen against attack which very apparently had been planned before the , q E. 2.
 campaign was undertaken. The Elliot islands lie almost due east from Yen- toa bay, and it was these islands that furnished a rendezvous for Admiral Togo's blockading squadron. They also afforded the outer base of 9 novel boom m-and-island'' screen ten miles long for the transport operations. MT.
 Kennan tells in the Outlook about this
 screen. Some time in April all the ma terials were sent to the Elliot islands l from Japan and in the course of two 1 or three weeks the officers and crews of Admiral Togo's fleet constructed a boom-defense ten miles long, from the
 outer island of the Elliot group to Ter mfnaI Head on the mainland of the
 Ldaotung peninsula. This boom con- sisted of a double line of massive tim
 bers, two feet or more in diameter
 fastened together with heavy chains anchored at short intervals, reinforced with a four and half inch steel haw'
 ser throughout it's entire length and tfinally hung here and there with wire
 torpedo screens and deep-sea flshine Inets to entangle the screws of any steam vessel that might succeed II breaking through the obstruction. Int magnitude of the work can be fully appreciated only in the light of tft fact that it involved the bringing iron Japan of five or six thousand sticks 0 heavy timber, ten miles of steel haw Iser, hundreds of heavy anchors, thou
 sands of fatfons of chain, and grea lquantities of spikes, staples, nets, tool
 and other miscellaneous material. Al
 the first six mile stretch of this exten sive boon-the part between Termina
 Head and Lump Island-was virtual.

 Great work for little people. Little ir body but great in mind.

nrNcH FARMERS NOT roo H4PP

FREEOH FA RMEKS NOT roo HAPPY We suppose the happy, happy farmer
 would be too happy if he didn't have
 something to bother him. So sorne-
 thing is mercifully provided. In France just now it is field mice. The presence Hof this pest is causing serious concern
 in some of the districts, for its powers tof destruction are enormous. It not |only destroys immense quantities of
 vegetation in seeking it's food, but lays
 away an ample stock for winter con-
 sumption, there being scarcely living
 plant within it's reach that is not eaten
 or destroyed by it. It has been calcu- lated that each adult field mouse eats from two-thirds of an ounce to an
 ounce of living plants a day, which
 means the consumption of from sixteen
 to twenty-four pounds a year, and, &C., cording to the same calculations, if the loss by destruction is put at only one- half that amount there is loss of from twenty-four to thirty-six pounds a year from every little field mouse. In experiments made in the Department of the Charente MT. Chamberlain of 1.-the Pasteur Institute estimated that
 the average number of field mice to be
