LIED FAR FROM HOME.
Adventurous Princes Who Fell Victims

TO Disease or Bullets.
The death of Prince Henri d'Orleans
calls attention to the fact that princes
who go roaming about the world have
no protection against the common fate,
and frequently die far away from the
land of their birth, Of diseases due to
the climate or even sometimes from
bullet. The Prince Imperial was killed
in the Zulu war in South Africa;
Prince Christian Victor of Schleswig-
Holstein died of fever in the Boer war,
and Prince Henry of Battenberg died
of fever in a little war on the West
Coast of Africa. The Prince of Conde,
a young man of great promise, and pas
sionately fond of travel. died in Aus
tralia. Now Prince Henri d'Orleans
dies in Saigon, Indo-China. Prince
Henri gained much notoriety through
his visit to Abyssinia and his subse.

was a genuine duel, and real blood was
shed in it, but the prince died, after all
his adventures, Of an abscess on the
liver. A relative OF Prlnce 1enrl
fought another celebrated duel in 1870
He was the Duke of Montpensier, and
he fought with the Duke of Seville
whom he killed, greatly to his own dis
may and the surprise of the spectators.
They were both brothers-in-law OF
Queen Isabella of Spain. A Bourbon
Prince who has protested recently
against duelling in all its forms is the
brother of Don Carlos, the pretender
to the Spanish throne. This Prince,
Don Alfonso, is a devout man and 9
good citizen, but he cannot enter Spain
for in case of the death Of Don Jayne
he would become his brothers heir as

For all things now were not when

There was silence first, and then dark

Was the body of thee in thy might

And God alone was aware of thy pres

And out of HIS knowledge foresaw His
will in thy calm and storm.
Answering unto His will, He gave
thee lordship and crown,
And bade the kingdoms of man 70
worship thee and bow down.
For earth He made out of dust. for
change and defeat in the blast;
But thee He made eternal, through
aeons and aeons to last,
Unmarked by sun ror wind, and SUI

tossed;
Not an inch OF thy beauty to perish,
nor an ounce of thy might to be

or the same in contrasting material

Dep,h of the Earth's Atmosph ere.

The Belgian Royal Meteorological
Observatory has recently published the
various estimates of mathematicians
regarding the depth of the atmosphere
surrounding the earth. The oalcu,a-
tions of these savants are certainly
sufficiently curious and divers to re-
feet discredit upon them all. Blot es-
timated the depth at 40 miles; Bra
vais, 20 miles; Mavin, 81 miles; Cal
Iandraw, 100 miles; Schiaparelli, 125
miles; Marie Davy, 1877; and Ritter,
ZIG miles. During the early part OF
the nineteenth century it was general
" accepted in Great Britain as AZ
miles, but the fact that meteors are
incandescent at much greater height
than this seems to entirely controvert
this idea. Sir Robert Ball makes the
statement that meteors have been seen
at an altitude of over 200 miles and
since they only become seeable when
they come in contact with the at
mosphere, it would seem that, if Sir
Robert ia correct, Ritter's estimate is
the nearest to the mark.-Philadelphia

EoIIv of Worrying,

A number of statesmen at Washing
ton, d. c., the other day discussed the
foolishness of worrying about things
not likely to happen, or which, If they
do happen will be so remote as to be
of little consequence to the worrier.
One of the party told this story to
illustrate his point:
Reminds me Of thing that hap-
pened in my school days. We used to
have a lecture every Friday afternoon,
and one day the lecturer was a geo.
logical sharp, and chose Niagara
Falls for his topic. He told us all
about the geological information of
the falls, described the different peri
ods that it is believed are traced in
the gorge, and then went on to say
that the falls we're slowly wearing
back toward Buffalo, and that in the
course of some 100000 years they
would have worn back to Erie. Pa.
and that town would be left high anil
dry. Just then one OF the girls in
the class began to sob wildly. What's
the matter?' asked the teacher, in
alarm. Oh she walled, I've got a
sister living in Erie!" !"--Buffalo COM

feathers in two or three of these
