with books and reports, where doz-

The End of All Armies.

We may really be on the verge Of
the millennium, for M. Emile Guarini
has come to the conclusion that it
will soon be possible to destroy armies
by lightning. Receiving a shock from
wireless telegraph apparatus through
an umbrella, he experimental with a
Ruhmkorff coil, and found that shocks
could be transmitted through the air
with moderate currents. He con-
cludes that the energy Of 1000 horse
power, at 100000 volts, could be con-
centrated by antennae so as to de-
stroy life at distance of twelve
miles. The present difficulty, which
he believes will be soon overcome, is
that of controlling and directing the
electric waves.

Ways of the MOSQUITO

That adult mosquitoes live through
the winter is evident to all who have
seen and felt them on the first warm
days of early spring, says a writer in
the Literary Digest. Now we are told
in addition that larvae and even the
egg of the insect may survive great
cold. Says a writer in the Revue
ScientifiQue:
ct is we'll known that mosquitoes
hibernate in the adult state; a certain
number of these vexatious insects
pass the winter in various retreats
in slaughter houses, granaries, cellars,
etc., and in the spring they resume
active life and multiply their kind.
Hibernation, however, does not always
take place in the adult form only;
the larvae can also pass the winter
with safety. This has been shown by
the observations Of John B. Smith
made during the winter Of 19O1-19O2
and at the end Of 1902. The winter
cold " does not regularly destroy

CHAPTER VIII.

Joyce gave way altogether after her
final interview with Alan. She had
long Illness, which almost terminated
fatally; but she was young, and had
always been strong. In the end her
youth triumphed, although she made
no efforts to get better. Life was ter
ribly hard She loved Alan with every
fibre of her being. She had known the
JOY of being his wife, and now he was
an Outcast from home, miserable,
wretched, dragging on a joyless exist
ence; and she had not even the priv
dlege of consoling him. She knew him
to be as unhappy as she was, and she
was suffering all the rest of their lives,
and Joyce had to learn patience from
that hardest of taskmasters-sorr
Her father took her abroad. OF
course her story was a nine days talk
but she was much beloved, and was
generally pitied and condo]ed with.
Allan and she had been so happy, and
had borne themselves so we'll and
modestly, that there was no one VINO
did not feel for the young couple
whose happiness had been so suddenly
destroyed.
But poor Veronica, she went back to
her lodgings that night broken-heart-
ed. 1t was not only that she had lost
the hope of life with Alan, but she
could see that she had given him his
deathblow. And he loved another
woman! She was intensely human,
was poor Veronica, and the knowledge
that another woman had all his heart
hurt her UNNECESSARILY. He did not
love her! He had never loved her!
But she had the boy. 1t was some
thing that she could press his curly
head against her aching heart, and
drop her tears upon it. Poor little
soul! The only bitter resentment she
had, felt against Alan was that he had
failed to notice the boy. But still she
had him-he was her own. She wait
ed patiently until she should hear
from Alan She had waited so long
that a little more or less waiting did
not matter. And he had said he would
write-he was certainly a man to be
trusted
And on the third day letter came.
Veronica could not guess what it had
cost Alan to write it. He did not want
to be harsh and cruel towards the af-
fectionate creature, whose only fault
had been that she had not been drown
ed in the shipwreck, and yet he felt it
difficult to be kind to her who had
fpoilt his life. He wrote that hence
'torth she and the boy would be his
tare. that he wished to allow her and
her 10y enough to live in comfort; but

"Stumped" the Head Waiter.


Jesse LeWisohn was dining at the
most fashionable restaurant in the
metropolis with a western millionaire
who is very fond of joking. The lat
ter summoned the head waiter and
said:
! Il presume everything in this place
is the best that money can buy?'
Most assuredly, sir" replied the
waiter, with a dignity that might have
aroused the envy of a United States
senator.
"Well, that's all right, but when
you run short, what substitute do you
use for terrapin?'
For once in his life that head wal
ter was cleft at the post" and never
tried for an answer.-New York

Letters t Long on Way

6 "
Speaking of the curious routes let
ters sometimes take in reaching their
destination" said an old newspaper
man, in the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, reminds me Of an extraordinary
experience I had in 1901, when l re.
ceived two letters which had been
mailed to me in 1888, thirteen years
before. I had been with a friend in
Washington up to early in 1888, when
/ concluded that would go to my old
home in Boston. I remained in Bos-
ton a few days, going from there to
New York. My movements were so
sudden that he did not at any time
know. exactly where to find me. The
two letters to which I have referred
were sent to my Washington address.
and, fortunately, fell into the hands
of my friend. Not knowing exactly
where I was after hearing that I had
left Boston, he did not know where to
send the letters, so he just kept them,
thinking that he would finally learn
my address and would send them on
to me. While loafing around in New
York l was suddenly seized with a
desire to go to Europe and, without
saying anything to anyone about nv
intentions, boarded ship and start
ed for foreign lands.
sFor nearly four years was
abroad and during that time, while
communicating with relatives and
friends on this side I never wrote to
my friend whom had left in Wash
ington, for I did not know his ad.

CHAPTER VIII.-(Continued.)
Alan looked at her and her pretty
slimness Of which he had been so
proud, at the beautiful refined face, at
the eyes through which her beautiful
soul seemed to shine, and when he
looked at it and realized what he was
about to lose great numbness came
over him. He could not speak, he
could scarcely think. It seemed as II
huge chasm yawned before them, into
which they were both to be flung. And
so this awful evening went it's way.
They hardly spoke. They sat hand in
hand in the darkness. Life seemed
blank. They had come to a standstill.
1t was as if death had caught them
with their young blood surging in
their pulses.
At last Alan reused himself. II must
go to your father, my darling" he
said. Joyce, you will let me do every
thing for you? Darling, you are my
wife, you know, although four years
ago I belonged to another woman. I
will go away from you, and never see
you will live in this house, and let me
work for you. l must have something
in my life, Joyce. Let me think that
there is still something I can do for
you'll"
Joyce was quiet; then she said:
*'Theres Veronica's child, Alan. You
should try and be a father to it. Poor
little thing, it would comfort YOU
IF Veronica were Dead" said Alan,
Il could care for it and cherish it, and
love it; but neither the child will want
for anything nor it's mother. But l
could not take it away from Veronica,
and l do not want to come into con-
tact with her. do not hate her, poor
girl; but might get to hate her when
1 thought of you, Joyce-my Joyce,
and yet not mine"
He rose slowly and painfully. A
great terror came over Joyce. "You
will see me again, Alan? This is not
good-by. I could not bear it-oh, |
could not! Tell me you will come to
me again and kiss me good-by! Oh,
am your wife, Alan"
He put his arms round her. She
was half fainting, and her white lips
could hardly articulate the words. Il
will come again." he said; "but to-
night l must see your father. Joyce,
if you are not brave it will kill me.
You must help me, my own sweet wife.
We must pray God to give us strength.
1t is the only way. 1 will bring your
father to you, and then we will try
and say good-by. I will write to you
tonight; but after that there must be
no more letters, sweetheart. If I con-
tinue to write to you I shall go mad.
Most probably I shall go abroad again
when I have got your life into order.

down. He then began to kick him on
the head, literally beating his brains

The scene of the crime is in Thurs
