LITERARY IMPoST0RS.
Many Clever Writers Who Have Do
ceived the World.

Clever literary impostors who have
deceived the world are numerous.
Gamelli Carrieri, Neapolitan gentle
man and scholar, while confined to his
room for long period Of years by H.
ness amused himself by writing an ac-
count of an imaginary voyage round
the world. When the volume was pub
lished, 1t was taken as a fact even by
learned people.
The detailed account Of a trip to
China which Is credited to Du Halde
is another literary hoax. The author
had never seen China and had been
sufficiently clever to compile the work
solely from the memoirs Of Chinese
missionaries.
1t is remarkable, though no less a
fact, that "Gulliver's Travels" was
thought to be q true narrative when It
first appeared, and the famous story Of
Damberger's travels was likewise q
hoax.
Varillas, the French historian, enjoy.
ed q wide reputation as chronicler OF
events, but later 1t was discovered thai
his works were purely fakes. The vol
umes Of this writer resemble those OF
Gregorio Reti, who, in order to keeI
himself from starving, appended the
most unheard of Incidents to English
history as 1t was known.
One Of the most daring imposture'
on record is that of Joseph Vella Of
Sicily. He said that he discovered sew
enteen Of the lost books Of Livy II
Arabic. He then set to work an(
wrote a. translation from his fancy
which was printed. After his dealt
the fraud was discovered. Before hi
death, however, he fell under suspi
cion and was condemned to imprison
ment.
There are countless cases Of author
selling their names to be put on work
they have never read. Sir John Hi
once contracted to translate a Dutcl
book. After the agreement he remem
bered that he did not know word o
Dutch. He then bargained with al
other translator to do the work 10
half the price he was to receive.

Iaraast Crab.

In the American Museum Of Natural
History in New York Is wonder of
marine life. 1t is a gigantic Japanese
crab, measuring twelve feet across,
making it the largest In the world.
The specimen is a type of the spider
crab, which inhabits the waters Of the
group Of Islands forming the empire Of
Japan. The body portion Of the crab is
the size of a half bushel measure,
while its great arms could easily en-
circle the figure Of man. Its legs re-
semble poles and are extremely elastic,
and If strung into one line they would
reach to the top Of four story apart
ment building.-New York Herald

A TORNADO.
Tho Spiral That Connects the Earth
With tho Clouds.

Tho Spiral That Connects ths Earth
With tho Clouds.
While In Kansas a few years ago
had very clear view of tornado. 1t
was about ten miles distant, passing
swiftly over the prairie 1t presented
the appearance Of long rope about
two feet In diameter. It extended
from dark, irreguiarly shaped cloud
to the earth and was slightly curved.
1t was Of nearly uniform thickness
and leaned about thirty-6ve degrees
from a perpendicular toward the cloud.
A line drawn from where stood to
the cloud would have made an angle Of
about forty degrees with the earth's
surface After this ropelike projection
had parted l noticed in the irregular
cloud perfectly shaped spiral Of sill
yer Wilderness. 1t was shaped like
great auger and extended from the
point where the funnel or rope had
been connected with the cloud forward
In the direction the cloud was moving.
All around 1t was in wild commotion.
but the spiral itself seemed to stand
like a great white ribbon coiled auger
shape and fixed secure. This spiral at
the time I caught sight OF it was lying
In nearly horizontal position, the for
ward end being only slightly elevated.
I have never met any one who has
seen this spiral in the tornado cloud,
but by one who came dangerously near
being caught by a passing tornado l
was told that the center Of the whirl-
ing funnel was as white as milk. From
his statement, taken In connection
with my own observations, l have
formed the opinion that the center OF
all tornadoes Is perfectly shaped cleo
trieal spiral and that when In opera
ton it connects the earth with the
cloud. 1t is manifest that such spiral
would give the middle Of the tornado
funnel white appearance. But 1t is
not likely that one looking at 1t In Its
upright form would detect Its spira
form. Indeed, it would have to TURF
itself in a most favorable position II
order to reveal to the eye Of the OBJ
server its spiral form.-Scientific Amer

Uranus.

It was on the evening Of March Is,
1871, that William Herschel, at Slough.
England, discovered new planet.
Wishing to pay a compliment to George
III, his. patron, be gave it the name Of
Georgium sidus, or the Georgian star.
Other English astronomers, wishing to
compliment. the discoverer himself,
suggested the name Of Herschel. Con-
tinental astronomers proposed that the
old NEUROLOGICAL system be followed,
and the name of Uranus was accepted
by the scientific world as the designa-
ton of the seventh planet

For the Mother On the Farm.

Sidney Smith cut the following from
a newspaper and preserved it for him.
self: "When you rise in the morn
ing, form a resolution to make the
day happy one to fellow creature.
It is easily done. A left-off garment
to the man who needs it, kind word
to the sorrrowful, an encouraging ex-
preston to the striving, trifes in
themselves as light as air, will do at
least for the twenty-four hours. And,
if you are young, depend upon it, it
will tell when you are old; and, if
you are old, rest assured it will send
you gently and happily down the
stream of time to eternity. By the
most simple arithmetical sum, look
at the result. If you send one person,
only one, happily through each day,
that is three hundred and sixty-five
during the year. Supposing you live
forty years only after you commence
this course of medicine, you have
made 14,60o beings happy at all events
for time"
A child may be troublesomein many
ways without deserving punishment.
We must always bear in mind the
good of the child, and our form Of
government must not be neglectful Of
the child's true interest in our great
efforts to make his behavior conform
to our moods and the requirements of
society. We punish severely when
the child throws a ball and breaks a
window, or turns over chair, or
spills his milk; but we pass over the
malice, revenge or cupidity that we
find creeping out now and then.
Small, playful errors are committed
sometimes under the influence of
youthful spirits, with no bad inten-
ton whatever on the part of the child.
This should not be treated gravely as
a moral issue; we should discriminate
between playful acts and their
motives; we should strive to make
our training instil ideas of truth, of
humanity, and let him see that in the
degree he practices these maxims in
his daily life he will be regarded as
good or bad.-American Farmer.

Greensboro Ladies
Duped and Robbed.

Greensboro, N. c., April 4.-Earl
Varstare, self-styled palmist and
clairvoyant, who appeared in the city
about six weeks ago, has skipped,
taking with him jewelry and money
to the amount of $4,000, which he
secured from his unwary victims
while pretending to tell their fortunes.
Scores Of the most refined and culti-
vated women in the city are said to
be among the swindler's dupes.
Varetare appeared here over a
month ago, and secured rooms at
Harvey's boarding house, in South
Ashe street. He then inserted adver-
tisements in all of the city papers.
Women aocked to his apartments,
and on the first day the patrons were
so numerous that Varetare found it
necessary to hire someone to receive
and entertain them.
The sWindler took any valuable
piece of jeWelry or any amount OF
money which his patron had and
placed the same in small box. The
box was then sealed and placed in a
small black bag. This bag was sealed
and inclosed in another bag which
was also sealed. The patron was
then instructed to pin the sealed
package on the inside of her clothing
and not remove it until a day ap-
pointed for her return. 4ss
Yesterday was the appointed time
and when the boxes were opened they
were empty.
Varetare has left the city.
