A Doubling Generation.


Old myths are doomed without a
saving clause
The critics tall on them with fang
and molar;
The demigods have lost their souls
because
They are simply Solar.
In these sad days when idols fall to dust
| can I feel sure Of Caesar or of Nero;
The one may prove a dream, the other
just
A Culture hero.
Gone is Il vision of an Age OF Gold,
And SCIENCE scouts II Paradise
%forsaken.
Bacon was Shakespeare-we shall soon
be told
That Hogg was Bacon.
Tell eve lived, although So fondly
praised,
And 80, of course, he never shot The
apple;
Gtlert was just a Celtic SAINT, who
raised
A wayside chapel.
The Piper Pied of HameliB has passed
Into a wind myth with his magic
whistle;
And Bishop Hatto with his mice in cast
In stern dismissal.
Our Wellington is proving fabulous
At least, he v said; "Up,
guards, and at 'emi"
Few the historic glofies left to us,
Though We begat them.
Perhaps St. Patrick has no right 10
live
ST.. George is something typical of
the Seasons;
I'm doubtful of our Nelson, and can
give
Some cogent reasonS.
What is the use OF hopes and dreams
that move
The earnest soul, in glory's cause
enlisted,
When future critics may arise TO
prove
We meier existed? Pail Mail

The Old English cOnee Houses.


In 1857, We are told, the first coffee
house had been prosecuted as a nui-
sance. In 17OS there were 1900 cOf-
fee houses, and each coffee house had
fits habitual circle. There were coffee
houses freqHented by merchants and
stOckjobbers carrying on the game
which suggested the new nicknames
bulls and bears, and coffee houses
where the talk was Wing and Tory,
of the last election and change of min
istry, and literary resorts such as the
Grecian, where, as we are told, a fatal
duel was provoked by a dispute over
Greek accent, in which. let US hope,
1t was the worst scholar who was kill
ed, and Wills, where Pope as a boy
went to look reverently at Dryden, and
Buttons. where at later period Addi-
son met his little senate. Addison, &C
cOrding to Pope, spent five or six hours
day lounging at Buttons, while Pope
found the practice and the consequent
consumption Of wine too much for his
health. Thackeray notices how the
club and coffee house ''boozing short

Lofty Mountain Lakes.

The most lofty lakes are found
among the Himalaya mountains in
Tibet. Their attitudes do not, how
ever, seem to have been very accurate
~ gagged, for different authorities give
widely different figures regarding them.
According to some, Lake ManasarO-
war, one of the sacred lakes of Tibet,
Is between $4,000 and 10000 feet above
the level of the sea, and if this is so it
is undoubtedly the loftiest in the
world.
Two other Tibetan lakes, those Of
Chatamoo and SurakOl, are said to be
1900 and Is, 400 feet in altitude re-
spectively. For long time it was sup
posed that Lake Titicaca, in South
America, was the loftiest in the world.
It covers about 1890 square miles, is
924 feet in its greatest depth and is
1900 feet above the sea. In spite Of
inexactitude with regard to the meas
urements of the elevation Of the Tibet
an lakes they are no doubt consider
ably higher than this or any other.

SWELL FROM
DREDGE BOAT
ALLEGED TO HAVE CAUSED DAM
AGE TO VESSELS AT
JACKSONVILLE.

The jacksonville Times-Union says:
Senior Carreras, vice-consul at the
port for Spain, Uruguay and several
other countries, made formal COM
plant yesterday that a heavy swell,
caused by the government dredgeboat
Florida, on her trial trip Monday
caused damages to the Uruguayan
bark Los Seis Hermanos, and also
to Russian bark, both of which are
tied up at Mayport
The captains of the vessels reported
TO the vice-consul that nine out OF
ten large hawsers used to hold the
vessels were parted, on account of The
wash of the waves made by the Flor
ida.
The consul reported. the. matter TO
the board of pilot commissioners, and
also made formal report to the Uni
ted States engineers department in
this city, as the Florida was built for
that department.
The captains of the vessels want
compensation fer their broken haw-
sers, and a request wasamade that the
pilot commissioners Investigate the
matter, for the captains contend that
the Florida was going too fast when
she passed their vessels.
The engineers department will hard
" have anything TO do with the claim.
as the Florida was being given a
builders test, and has not been form
ally accepted by the government.
1t is a matter. of general surprise
that a dredgeboat, which is generally
supposed to BE a slow-moving craft,
could attain speed sufficient to carry
swell that would cause a vessel to
break from its moorings
The bark Los Seis Hermanos is the
vessel that was picked up by the tug
Catherine about thirty miles out at
sea in a leaking condition. She was
bound from Brunswick, Ga, to Valen-
cha, Spain, with a cargo of timber.
The vessel is now lying at Mayport,

SOUTHERN LIMIT OF SNOW RE-
cEDEp FROM 100 TO 400 MILES
NoRTHWARD-DEEP SNOW AND
HEAVY ICE IN FAR NORTHERN
STATES.

The regular Snow and Ice bulletin
of the United States weather bureau
issued on February 81. for the week
ending February 20 showing consid-
cradle improvement in the weather
situation especially in the Southern
states. Maine still holds the record
for depth of snow. the report showing
~ inches at Lewiston, with northern
Michigan and northern New York
close seconds with "a and 80 inches
respectively. The heaviest ice report
ed is at Moorehead, Mimi. where it
is 81 inches thick. Maine reports ice
SO inches thick and several warm
places show up with a record consid-
erably over 80 inches.
Accompanying the map the follow
ing information is given:
Depth of Snow.
During the week ending February
20, 1905, much snow has melted
! throughout the central valleys and
! Lake region where depths reported at
I s p. m on the goth ranged from lsto
! IA inches less than on the 18th, and
! the southern limit eastward of the
/ Mississippi has receded northYard a
distance ranging from 100 to 400
miles. In New England and a large
| part of the -Aiddle Atlantic states the
conditions on the two dates mention
! ed were practically Tie same, slightly
diminished depths being shown in
some districts, while an increase is
| indicated in others. The southern
limit west of the Mississippi remains
about the same as on the 18th, but a
large area over the middle Rocky
Mountain slope that was covered on
the 18th is now practically free from
snow.
In the Ohio Valley, portions of New
England and the upper Lake region
and in Minnesota, the Dakotas, and
portions of the northern Rock Noun
tain region there was less snow on
February 20, 1905, than at the cor
responding date of 1904. but much
more in the lower Missouri and upper
Mississippi valleys, the southern por-
] ton of the Lake region, and in the
Middle Atlantic states.

states there was general increase
! in the thickness of ice during the
week ending February 20, 1905. In
the upper Missouri the ice conditions
have remained unchanged. but in the
central and lower Missouri and in the
Ohio river slightly diminished meas
urements are reported. In the Mis-
souri, river ice now ranges from Is
inches at Sioux City, Iowa, to 81

A comparison of the present condi'

The Oldest Herbarium.

The oldest herbarium in the world
is in the Psychologist museum at
Cairo, and consists of an inconspicu-
Gus collection of dried portions of
plants. These portions of plants and
flowers were taken from wreaths and
garlands in the collins with mummies,
where they were placed by the ancient
Egyptians as death offerings, and from
edible plants which were set in earthen
vessels on the floor of the sepulcher as
the furniture of the last resting place
of their beloved ones.
Many of these floral remains are so
well preserved that, after being treated
with warm water, they can be handled
like modern herbarium specimens. The
colors, too, are preserved in remark
able way. The most important mat
ter in connection with these plants is
their age. The remains of funeral food
are found in tombs as far back as
1900 years before Christ.

THOUSANDS
CONVERTED
REMARKABLE RELIGIOUS MOVE
MENT SWEEPING OVER
LOUISVILLE, KY.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 23.-Louisville
is at present agitated by remarkable
religious revival movement. Thus far
1000 conversions have been au-
nOunced, and it is confidently express
ed that the close of the services on
Sunday next will find that number
doubled. During the first week of the
revival, which began February II,
1000 persons professed Christianity,
and on Sunday last, which was "de-
cision day." 5000 more declared their
faith
But the most remarkable scenes
were witnessed to-day when the min
listers in charge of the movement TAX
ing advantage of the holiday, conduct
ed a day of prayer at the twenty-four
points where the revival services have
been in progress. Many business hou-
ses and factories closed, some for an
hour or two and seme for half day
at the request of the ministers. 1t
was a common spectacle during the
noon hour TO see grave business mon
and their clerks scurrying along the
streets eating their luncheons from
their hands in order to have more time
for the prayer services. Thousands
of employees, who had but the nooa
hour to spare took their lunch boxes
to the churches. The attendance fig
ures reach $4,000 people, or one-ffth
of Louisvilles population, and at many
points great numbers were turned
away. The attendance is the more
remarkable in view of the fact that
the meetings were held especially for
busy workers, and the women and
home-staying portion of the city were
requested to remain at home. r
