A HATEFUL DREAM.
Death Came Precisely ms 1t Had Been
FOretOId In Slumber.

Death Came Precisely ms 1t Had Been
ForetoId In Slumber.
A strange family story is told in the
"Reminiscences of Mrs. Pickering" 1t
has to do with her sister Jane, mar
ried to Lord Andover, eldest son Of the
Earl of Suffolk:
"She 0ady Andover) had always
been noted for having the most re-
markable dreams, and one morning she
awoke feeling nervous and uncomfort-
able. having dreamed that Lord Ando-
yer had gone out shooting when there
was a battue and had been shot. This
made such an impression on her mind
that she entreated him not to shoot
that day, but to stay with her, which
he at once consented to do, and they
resumed their painting and reading.
But the day came out so fine and the
winter sun shone so brightly that my
aunt, feeling she had been selfish, at
last begged him not to lose the day for
her sake, but to go out and join the
others. so he went After he had gone
she became so restless and uneasy that
she started to walk across the park to
the covert where they were shooting.
As she crossed the park she observed
one of the grooms galloping hard to-
ward the house on her own favorite
horse, Baronet Strange to say, no pre-
sentiment of evil seems at that mo-
ment to have struck her, and she only
remarked, How very angry Lord An
dover would be if he could see that
man riding my horse in such a way!
He was riding to the house with the
news that Lord Andover had been shot
dead by one of the keepers"

DEEP SEA ANIMALS.

How Those Who Live Below All
Vegetation Get Their Food.
Naturally the fish of the deep por-
tons Of the ocean are carnivorous, no
vegetable life being found below 200
fathoms," writes w. S. Harwood in
Harper's Magazine. I'm the Atlantic
ocean the vast Sargasso sea, containing
100000 square miles of surface-a
great marine prairie as large as the
whole of the United States exclusive of
Alaska and dependent islands-affords
vegetable food for uncountable ami
mails, which in their due time die and
are precipitated to the depths, their
bodies in turn to be eaten by the ami
mails which live far below all vegeta-
ton. So 1t is throughout the whole
ocean; animal life is constantly falling
from the surface waters for the sup
port of the animal life of the abyss. A
very large number of the deep sea an
imals are exceedingly tenuous or trans
lucent in form-so to put it-having no
special organs of nutrition, but taking
In their nourishment through the walls
Of their bodies, appropriating from the
water the food which suits them. Some
Of them have bony structure, skele
ton, which they form also from the
water, silica and carbonate of lime be-
ing the chief skeleton forming mate
rails"

HORACE GREELEY.
The Gentle, Brusque and Welcome
Farmhouse Intruder.

The Gentle, Brusque and Welcome
Farmhouse Intruder.
when Horace Greeley was first mar
ried and brought his bride home on a
visit" said an old acquaintance, "a
sugar party was given In their honor on
a neighboring farm. All the guests
had arrived, and we were looking out
watching for the belated bride and
groom. At last we saw something ap-
pearing in the distance. AS this same
object came nearer we discovered 1t
was the old white horse of the Gree
leys slowly picking his way through
the mud. On his back sat the bride
in a brilliant yellow frock, with a
green velvet belt, and behind her,
wrapped in his famous white over
coat, sat the editor of the New York
Tribune. 1t was the funniest sight
ever saw and set us off in fits Of
laughing. l remember that / simply
lay down and rolled upon the floor in
a spasm of mirth.
"Mr. Greeley came home every year
and after day or two on the farm
would start out to walk miles and
call on people. He was never known
to knock at a farmhouse door. No
matter whether he knew the inmates
or not he would push open the door,
walk right in, sit down by the fire
place and fall to discussing crops and
other topics dear to the farmers
heart. Everybody was glad to vel
come this gentle, brusque intruder"

VALOR AND HEROISM.

Proof That the Real Brand of 1t Ex-
lists In South America.
Every country has its heroes, and it
Is refreshing to read something of the
heroic in the history of the countries
south of u.s. said a thoughtful man.
"In history of South America atten-
ton is called to a number of things
which tend to show that the popular
estimate of valor and heroism in that
section of the world may not be alto
gether the correct one. 1t Is related
that once the Peruvian monitor Huas-
car fought against three Chilean ships.
"After both Admiral Grau and his
flag lieutenant were killed Captain
Aguirre took command, was killed, and
then succeeded by Captain Carbajal,
who was put hors de combat by she'll
The command devolved then on Lieu
tenant Rodrigue, who was killed; then
on Lieutenant Palacious, who was dis
abled, and finally Lieutenant Gareyon,
with the ship on fire, three feet Of wa
ter In the hold and with a loss of half
his officers and crew, was forced to
strike his flag. On July %, 1879, the
Huascar was in action against the
Chilean ship Abtao. Torpedoes at that
time were not much understood, and
one, being fired from the Huascar,
through faulty mechanism returned
back straight upon the ship. Seeing
this and knowing that If the ship was
struck she must sink, Lieutenant Diaz
Cansco jumped overheard and in the
water with his hands altered its course
just before it came in contact with the
ship"

FORTlFlCATlONS.
They Play but a Secondary Role Ii
the Defense of States.

They Play but a Secondary Role In
the Defense of States.
A fortress spells immobility and dis
persion. We should therefore look
askance at it until proof is given that
it has a definite purpose to fulfill In a
reasoned scheme of strategy. We must
not allow ourselves to be led away by
the glamour surrounding a heroic de
Tense. We must look to the end and
leave panegyrics to poets. We must,
in short, regard all fertilization as an
auxiliary and nothing more. A for
tress, because it is fortress and be-
cause it is ours, is not necessarily an
advantage and may be the reverse. If
we gain battles we gain the enemy's
fortresses; If we lose them he gains
ours, whether they are in the interior
or upon the sea. In each case the lar
ger the garrison the greater the disas-
ter. Fortresses, and, in fact, all FORTH
cations, have never played anything but
a secondary role in the defense Of
states, and no nation has ever yet been
saved by them. They can as auxil-
iaries occasionally assist an army and
they can aid naval capital, wisely in
vested and wisely used, to bear splen-
did interest, but they can never re-
establish moral superiority when once
it is lost nor create it by the virtue at
taching to its parapets if it does not
exist. Over the portals of the fortress
or harbor of refuge should be written
in the largest and blacklist of charac-
tiers the words that Dante discovered
over the gates of hell-Military Cor.

Joseph Hart and Carrie DeMar have
landed another ten strike in William A..
Brady's new musical comedy, MAMA
Papa" now in its third week of un-
qualified success at the Casino Theatre.
The play has caught on and people are
turned away at every performance. The
surest criterion of popular play is the
box-office and that the report is favorable
is obvious. Mr.. Hart in the character of
DIR. Mendem Foote, an eccentric veterin-
airy surgeon, lends his delightful person
atty to the role and is ably assisted by
the vivacious and pretty Carrie DeMar,
whose breezy ways, and clever dancing
and singing easily place her in the front
rank of commediennes. The musical
numbers are new, tuneful and full OF
novel effects and are another triumph for
their composer, A. Baldwin Sloane, whose
late successes in 1.-THE Mocking Bird, >
Sergeant Kitty" and Lady Teazle
need no comment. During the second
act decided innovation Is introduced by
the lowering of a miniature "Flat- Iron
Building, where its famous windy prankG
with the show girls skirts are shown
while they are singing "Four O'clock OF
Broadway" 1.-The Woggle Bug" as sung
by Mr.. Hart and chorus of pretty girls
costumed as "Woggle Bugs" met instant
favor, while 1.-THE Fate of the Sailor" anC
my Filipino Belle" are encored agar
and again.
''It would be difficult to say who scored
the biggist hit last night, Mr. Hart, who
ambled through his part, winning new
/ friends with his delightful smiles. or Carrie
DeMar, with her clever dancing anC
sprightly comedy work. The big audience
seemed nightly pleased with the farce
and signifed its approval with laughte
and applause of vigorous sincerity. Ont
thing that greatly tickled the audience
was the surreptitious lowering of I
miniature Flatiron Building ON to thu
stage. This was illustrative of a Broad
way song and the famous wind billowet
and swirled among the skirts of the show
girls with startling effect. The Dahl

THE DEATH DICE.
A Strange Story That Comes From
the Seventeenth Century

A Strange Story That Comes From
the Seventeenth Century.
A notable exhibit in the Berlin Ho-
henzollern museum consists of the IA
nous death dice" About the middle
of the seventeenth century beautiful
young girl was murdered, and sus-
picion fell on two soldiers, Ralph and
Alfred, who were rival suitors for her
hand. AS both prisoners denied their
guilt and even torture failed to extract
a confession from either Prince Fred
erick William, the kaiser's ancestor, de-
cided to cut the Gordon knot with the
dice box. The two soldiers should
throw for their lives, the loser to be
executed as the murderer. The event
solemnity, and the prince himself as
sisted at this appeal to divine interven-
ton, as it was considered by every
body, including the accused themselves.
Ralph was given the first throw, and
he drew skies, the highest possible
number and no doubt felt jubilant.
The dice box was then given to Alfred,
who fell on his knees and prayed aloud:
Almighty God, thou knowest l am
innocent. Protect me, beseech theeP'
Rising to his feet, he threw the dice
with such force that one of them
broke in two. The unbroken one show
ed six, the broken one also showed six
on the larger portion, and the bit that
had been split off showed one, giving
total of thirteen, or one more than
the throw of Ralph. The whole audi
ence thrilled with establishment, while
the prince exclaimed, God has spo-
KEMP Ralph, regarding the miracle as
sign from heaven, confessed his guilt
and was sentenced to death. 1t is prob
able that Alfred ever after did not
number himself among those who look
upon thirteen as an unlucky number

AFRICAN SANDSTORMS.
The Conditions which Bring About
These Deadly RIaata

The Conditions which Bring About
These Deadly Blasts.
The sandstorms of African deserts
are caused by the great power of the
suns rays, the extreme dryness of the
air and the small conducting power of
the sand. The superficial layers of
sand in the deserts Of Africa and
Arabia often become heated to 200 de
grees F. to a depth of several inches
The air resting on this hot sand be-
comes also greatly heated, thus causing
ascending currents. AS a result air
flows in from all sides, and, different
currents meeting, cyclones are formed,
which are swept onward by the wind
prevailing at the time. Since the tenn
perature of the air, originally high, is
still further raised by the heated grains
of sand with which it is loaded, it
rapidly Increases to a most intolerable
degree In the shade it has been known
to reach 1875 degrees. 1t is to the parch-
ing dryness Of this wind, its glowing
heat and its choking dust and not, as is
sometimes supposed, to any poisonous
qualities it possesses that its destruc-
tive effects on animal life are to be
ascribed. The effects of sandstorms
are most terrible, large caravans being
frequently overwhelmed and destroyed
by them. 1t was by their agency that
the armies of Cambyses and Sen
nacherib were annihilated.

Pepys, Furnace,

An electric resistance furnace was
used by Pepys in 1915 for the cementa-
ton of iron. He took piece of pure,
soft iron and cut slit along Its length.
The slit was filed with diamond dust,
which was prevented from falling out
by fine iron wire. The portion of the
wire containing the dust was wrapped
in mica. The wire thus charged was
heated quickly to redness by the cur
rent from a battery. On opening the
wire Pepys found that the diamond
dust had disappeared and that around
where it had been the wire had been
converted to stsai--London Engineer.
