The Thrones of Russia.

It is hard to say offhand how many thrones the Russian emperor has, says q writer on The Thrones of Europe" The three chief ones are those at the Imperial palace and the Winter pal ace at St. Petersburg and in the Krem- lin at Moscow. This last was a pres ent to the Car Alexis in 1860 from the shah of Persia. It is entirely covered with thick plates of gold set with pre- ciOus stones and alternating with plaques of ivory chiseled in high relief. The fact and date of the presentation are recorded in an inscription on the back of the throne. Just above are glistening double headed eagles of Rus sia, with angels on either side support ing the imperial crown. In the Impe- rial palace at St. Petersburg the throne stands in an alcove of the marble throne room, with a wide stretching canopy with thick gold cords md deep fringes of gold embroidery. On the curtains behind are embroidered the arms of the Romanoffs surmounted by the crown, with a curious star shaped border all round. Three wide steps lead up to the throne.

It is the most barren schoOlbO0k have ever read. These printed arith- metics were not in common use.

The Water Lily.

Almost everybody has observed the strange characteristic of the water lily bud opening its petals at sunrise and closing them again at sunset It was for this reason mainly that the an cients held the water lily sacred to the sun. Pliny says: Tt Is reported that in the Euphrates the flower of the To- tus plunges into the water at night, re maining there till midnight and to such a depth that it cannot be reached with the hand. After midnight it begins gradually to rise, and as the sun rises above the horizon the flower also rises above the water, expands and raises itself some distance above the element in which it grows" It was also through this peculiarity that Hancar- vile proved that the Egyptians con- sidered the lily an emblem of the world as it rose from the waters of the deep.

BARRED WIRE.
A Lucky Device That Brought Millions
 to Its Inventor.

to Its Inventor.
 ''The luckiest invention in history" said a patent official, was that of barbed wire. It came about by acci- dent.
 Isaac L. Ellwood was the inventor of barbed wire. In his youth he lived in De Kalb, III, and, having a neighbor whose pigs trespassed on his garden, he put up one day a wire fence of his own make. This fence had barbs and points on 1t. It was queer and ugly, but 1t kept out the pigs.
 Tt was a real barbed wire fence, the first in the world, and there were millions of money in it, but young Ell wood and his friends laughed at its freak appearance.
 "One day two strangers saw this fence, perceived how well it kept out the pigs, realized how cheap it was realized, in a word, its value-and or dered several tons of it from Ellwood. Furthermore, they contracted to sell for a term of years all the barbed wire he could produce.
 "Ellwood borrowed S1 900 and set up little factory. A few years later on he had paid back that loan and was worth a small matter of $15,000, GOO besides. ."-New York Press.

CURIOUS DECEPTIONS.
The Way Our Senses Are Liable to
 Play Us False.


 Our senses deceive us curiously at times. A flash of lightning lights up the ground for only One-millionth of a second, yet it seems to us to last ever so much longer. What happens is that the impression remains in the eye or the retina for about oue-eighth of a second, or 124,OOO times as long as the flash lasts. If on a dark night a train speeding along at sixty miles an hour is lit up by a lightning flash it appears stationary, yet in the eighth of q second during which we seem to see 1t the train travels eleven feet. But we really only see 1t during one millionth of a second, and in that time it travels only One-hundredth of an inch.
 When a mans leg is cut off. if the stump be irritated he feels the pain in his toes. This curious deception is the same as any one can practice on himself by striking his elbow on the table, when he feels the pain in his fingers. Of course in both cases the pain is felt in the brain.
 We do not actually perceive different distances with the eye, but judge them from various indications. When our judgment is at fault We are deceived. If you see a person in a fog, for instance, he seems to be much bigger than usual. The same thing happens when you see men or cattle on the top of a hill against the horizon in twi- H0ht Tn hOth cases vOu iudpe them to be farther away than they really are, and consequently they appear un- -~nNpnonlv large

 Lowell, July 24.

Jesse Wells, employed in the camp for a number of years, has just re- turned to Lowell after an absence of several months at Silver Bell. Mir. Wells states that the company operat- ing at Silver Bell is shipping in the neighborhood of 200 tons of ore daily which averages 20 per cent After short visit with friends he expects to leave for Twin Buttes to accept employment with a mining company there.
 August Posten is back in Lowell af- ter an absence of several months spent at his old home in Texas.
 This was an exceedingly quiet day in the local justice court. Outside of a couple of drunk cases nothing or interest transpired.
 Officer Frank Bauer returned from Tombstone this evening, brining a prisoner wanted on several charges or defrauding business houses in Lowell.
 Joseph Colley, mine foreman at the Denn, returned from Tombstone this morning after a day spent there on business.
 Ben Sneed spent the day in Lowell, coming up from Cananea this morT ing. MT. Sneed expects to be here several days looking after his var ious interests.
 Mrs. Storr was removed to the Cop Der Queen Hospital this evening from her residence in Upper Lowell.
 Quite a number of the cottages on the hill at Upper Lowell are being moved to make room for the street car line which is to pass through on its way to Bisbee. From the heavy blasting being done the last few days. they seem to be having considerable trouble removing the large rocks near the Hoatson shaft. The home of Fred Ritter is being moved today.
 There will be a meeting tomorrow night (Thursday) of the members of the Lowell business mems baseball club. As there are several matters of importance to be discussed the cap tains of both teams earnestly request all members to kindly arrange to be present. There was a TumOr today to the effect that the Bisbee business men were seriously the challenge hurled at them with such impetuosity by the Lowell aggregation and would in all probability take the matter up in a few days and reply to it.
