the fair domain Of Melbourne Hall; Its
ancient trees SO many children's fretted
toys; Its grass lands supremacy green: pool
and lake and river ablaze with the golden
light of an autumn sun. But more to Gavin
than these was the figure of the Lady
Evelyn herself clearly to be seen in the
glade where the gypsies had pitched their
camp-the figure of an English girl divinely
tall, OF one whom the splendid woods
might well choose for their divinity.
She rode through the glade and by her
side there walked a rough fellow. who,
Gavin thought. would have been much bet
ter in Derby jail than idlfng in the home
park at Melbourne. Some chance observa-
tions which had fallen from servants lips
had made him acquainted with the circum-
stances under which these apparent va
grants had come to Derbyshire; and he was
quick enough to perceive the connection
between the earl's younger days and this
odd visitation.

The Zodiacal Light.

Translation in the Literary Digest.
If we are to believe Mr. A Hausky,
whose observations on the zodIacal light
from the summit OF Mont Blanc two years
ago attracted much attention, both this
phenomenon and the solar corona are OF
the nature of permanent solar auroral dis
plays, being due to the same cause as the
earth's polar auroras-namely, lombard
ment by flying particles from the sun. Mr..
Hausky's theory, which is noticed in Cos
mos, makes use OF the recent discoveries
regarding the constitution of matter, the
pressure exerted by light, etc. Says the
paper just mentioned:
"Hausky thinks that the zodiacal light.
the solar corona, and the polar aurora are
all electric phenomena. According to the
new theories of Ions and electrons, the sun
is sending from its surface in all directions
very small particles carrying charges Of
negative electricity, detached from the solar
surface, particularly in regions where solar
activity Is most intense, these particles,
having diameters less than a micron, are
repealed by the pressure of the light and
move with a speed of several thousands OF
kilometers per second. To them are due
the phenomena of the corona and tho
zodiacaI light; also. when they reach tho
earth, they produce the polar auroras and
the other manifestations of terrestrial cleo
tricity.
1T is well known that the solar corona.
sends into space irregular rays which
sometimes extend to distance of y solar
radaii as observed by LangIey.-in the
eclipse of 1878. These rays show the dlrec-
ton of the jets of electrified particles
which generally issue normally TO the sJIar
surface The activity of the sun being
more intense in the zones near its equator,
particularly IN the periods of spot-minima.
the corona has a greater development in
the place Of the solar equator.
AS to the zodiacal light, it Is only a
prolCngation OF the corona The electrifed
particles issuing from the sun do not pro
coed in right lines. but under the action OF
a force apparently OF magnetic origin, they
approach the plane of the solar equator,
obeying this force most when their speed
is slightest. This tendency is seen in the
form of the corona at minimum periods
which Is like lens much fiattened in the
plane of the suns equator. During these
periods the particles emitted must have O.
low velocity. In any case the coronal
streamers have the form of sprays very
visibly recurved toward the equator. Re-
ceding from the sun, the particles lose
their velocity, acquire more and more
a direction parallel TO the plane Of
the solar equator. and then move nearly In
a straight line. Thus they give rise to the
zodfacal light. which extends in the form
Of f1attened lens, up to 60 degrees from
the sun and becomes In these regions, far
distant from that body. straight and paral-
Tel to the suns equatorial plane"

perate as Gavins situation had become, he
realized the whole truth of 1t in an in

door Above him single rope swayed

that he might touch the parapet but TO

help seemed imp possible to bring. His as
sstants had gone down to the outer sta
bles to load UP the permanent scaffold.
His quick eye could not detect the pres
ence of single human being in the vicinity
OF the gardens. Evelyn herself stood
one petrified by the battlements, afraid for
the instant to lift hand or utter a word
lest the spell of his momentary safety
would be broken. She had never possessed
that particular courage which stands upon
height unfiinchingly, and this dreadful
accident found all her nervous impulse
paralyzed and shattered. She listened. SIS
In a trance of terror beyond all words to
describe, for the broken cry which would
speak of death, for the sound of body

The Stone of Good Luck.

From st. Nicholas.
All through the ages the ruby has been
called the stone of good luck According
TO the old stories whoever owned a ruby
would never fail in anything he under
took. for that beautiful jewel held in its
glowing red heart a magic power which
always brought success No matter how
dangerous the task, the ruby was sure to
give courage and victory. In the days of
ancient Greece when the rich man wished
to express to a friend good wishes for
wealth or honor he sent to him ruby en-
eraved with the figures of an orator. To-
day the ruby is considered the iuclSiest of
stores, though the good fortune, as we see
1t. lies In the owning OF anything so pre-
cious for even the diamond is not so val
liable a gem. The ruby is the stone of
July and the fire which abides in its red
heart is truly typical of that burning month
of summer. According to legend, however,
this fire varied with the fortune of the
owner. A popular superstition In regard
to the ruby was the belief In It's power to
foretell danger or disaster by the changing
of its color. 1t was fayorite talsman
and love token in the time of the Crusaders.

J. A. Lewis, of Chicago, one of the heutenants of John Alexander Dowie, may take over the Rosario and San Jose mines in the Talpalpa district of Jsiisco for sS0.000. It Is stated that he has an option to purchase the prop critics at that price. and is now spend ing s5.000 in re-opening the Rorasio and developing the San Jose. The The work Is under the direction of A. L. Roby. mining engineer. The Dowie- ties connected with the properties has not been generally known.
 The mines are owned Joy Pauline Pfeciado of Sayuls and George B. Sherman of Guadalaiara. The Rosa rio is Spanish antigua" that has not been worked for many years. The San Jose Is little more than prospect, The surface holdings amount to .eigk- teen pertenencias. It requires a ride Of three hours to reach the mines from Tapalpa.
 The option held by Lewis win 5e2, pire in about two months, and he Is expected to return to this part of Mexico before the time of expiration. He spent some time in Jalisco several months ago and while there de. hnuneed an old mine in the Ttzatlan district.

STOCKHOLDERS
 PLATED AT DECISION

A recent issue of the Cleveland Plaindeaier says:
 Cleveland stockholders in the Jessie Mines Cc., of Arizona are elated over the fact that eases in the United States court against John s. Jones of Pres cott, A T., president of the company and r D. Fuller of Columbus agent. were nofIed in Columbus yesteIGzy. The indicIalsnts, brought by federal grand jury dune 8 last, charged the two men with having used the United States mails 10 defraud the stockho1d- IS of the mining eompany.-
 The noileing of the cases means that the company has been cleared of all suspicin. The vindication of the company is all the more gratifying to the officers and stockholders from the fact that it came after careful in. spection of the situation by special United States inspectors.
 E. NJ Sanford. of Prescott. attorney for the company. came to this city from Colnmbus yesterday. He said that the operation of the mines would be resumed on larger scale than ever before. He said that it was proved bycnd all question: of doubt that ali the stock that had been sold was worth even more than what was paid for #.
