H NEEDLES EYE.

Machine Riddle Was Solved.
Elias Howe almost beggared himself
before he discovered where the eye of
the needle Of a sewing machine should
be located. His original idea was to
follow the model of the ordinary needle
and have the eye at the heel. 1t never
occurred to him that it should be plac-
ed near the point, and he might have
failed altogether if he had not dreamed
he was building a sewing machine for
a savage king in a strange country.
Just as in his actual waking expert
ence, he was rather perplexed about
the needles eye. He thought the king
gave him twenty-four hours to COM
plete the machine and make it sew. If
not finished in that time, death was to
be the punishment.
Howe worked and. worked and puz.
zled and puzzled and finally gave it UP.
Then lie thought he was taken out to
be executed. He noticed that the war
riors carried spears that were pierced
near the head. Instantly came the SO.
luton of the difficulty, and while the
inventor was begging for time he
awoke. 1t was i o'clock in the morn
ing. He jumped out Of bed, "a to E:s
workshop, and by 8 a needle with an
eye at the point had been rudely mod
eled. After that it was easy. This is
the true story Of an important incident
In the invention Of the sewing machine.

The Salt In the ocean.

II the ocean did not have salt it
would freeze somewhat more readily
than it does now, but there would be
no very marked difference. The ocean
Is prevented from freezing not so much
by it's salt as by it's size and by it's
commotion. On account Of it's size
large portions Of it extend into warm
climates at all seasons, and by reason
Of it's great depth it is a vast store
house of heat. Its currents distribute
much warm water among the cold.-St.

Red, White, Green Seas.

The cOlorS of pure ocean water and
the varying shades observed where i'm
purities are met with are diversified
by the coloring effects of the enormous
multitudes of various forms of organ
lied life which sometimes mask the
natural color of the surface of the sea
and tinge extensive areas with remark
able colors. Red appears to be most
frequently met with. In the southern
parts of the Red sea and in the Ara.
bian gulf large areas are colored blood
red by microscopic animalculae, and in
the Indian ocean similar forms of life
cause, in addition to red, milk white
or yellow spots of great extent, the
appearance of which is frequently
alarming to the ignorant sailor. Off
the Guinea coast ships sometimes APP
pear to float in milk. Extensive red
streaks are also known to occur in the
south Atlantic and south Pacific, which
are caused by hosts Of small red cruS-
tacea. The "Vermilion sea- of Cali
fornia owes its brilliant color to in
fusoria. Areas colored green have been
noted, especially in the arctic regions,
which are due to myriads of diatoms,
and in some portions of the antarctic
seas diatonls of rusty color make the
water q dirty brown.

A vest pocket dictionary is something
which every person occasionally finds
use for and to many n is an almost in
dispensible companion. The great
trouble has been that the greater num-
Der of the editions on the market are
either unreliable even to the limited ex-
tent to which they do go or if they are
reliable their reputation for scholarship
is not such as to make them conclusive
when quoted as authority. The pub
fishers Of the Webster's International
Dictionary, the recognized standard
everywhere, have therefore supplied a
long felt want in vest pocket abridg-
ment of that famous masterpiece. 1t is
called "Webster's Little GEN." and
gives the correct spelling, division into
syllables, pronunciation, and brief def
milton of more than 23,500 words, be-
sides maps and other valuable informa-
ton. The prices are twenty-five, forty,
and fifty cents according to the binding
wished, and.the books may be ordered
from the publishers, q. and G. Merriam
Co., Springfield, Mass or may be
bought at bookstores.

TROOPS KILL JEWS.
Wholesale Slaughter Occurs in Town
in Poland-Fifty Lives Said to
Have Been Taken,

r Warsaw, June 14.-All day Tuesday
and all day Monday fierce rioting was
in progress in the streets of Brestli-
ovsk and scores of Jews have fallen be-
fore the murderous fire of Russian
troops. The casualties are not yet
known, for the number of victims
increases every hour, but it is believed
at least so persons have been killed
and 80 injured. Nearly all of those shot
were jews
The fighting began at dawn Monday,
when Jew resisted two soldiers who
were attempting to rob him on the
street. Others came to the aid of each
side, and the melee developed into a
pitched battle. Soon the troops, reen-
forced, began charging the Jews with
swords. In self-defense the Israelites
fired revolvers. Their shots were met
with murderous velley from the Rus
SLAMS. Ten men were killed and Il
wounded by the volley The Jews re-
treated into their little homes and shops,
and the troops followed them there,
dragging out the families and pillaging
the shops. Several were killed in re-
sisting these attacks on their houses,
At night the fighting ceased, while Israel
mourned Is dead. At dawn Tuesday the
troops again invaded the Jewish quar-
ter, sweeping everything before them
and killing defenSeless men. women
and children. The greatest fight came
at noon, Tuesday, when the Jews massed
and more than so fell before the rifle
shots. Then the troops applied the torch
to the fiimsy, poverty-stricken houses
Of the Jews, destroying a whole street
and making 200 families and more than
1000 persons homeless
