Fire Caused by Sea Waves.

In spite of apparent impossibility
a fire was caused by water some few
years ago on the western coast OF
Ireland. The rocks along this coast,
which the huge Atlantic rollers
have for centuries been slowly
breaking down and piercing with
great caverns, contain in their
depths masses of iron pyrites and
alum. At one part of the coast the
water penetrated to these, and q
rapid oxidization took place, which
produced heat fierce enough to set
the whole cliff on fire. For weeks
the rocks burned like a regular vol
cano, and great clouds Of smoke and
vapor rose high in the air. When
at last the fire died out, great
masses of lava and clay burned to
brick were found in every direction.

Tennyson's humility.

The poet Tennyson was gifted
with the grace of humility. His let
ters disclose his dissatisfaction with
himself and his achievements. He
pitched his ideals high, and he
knew, none more clearly, when he
failed to grasp what he had reached
after. An anecdote contributed by
the Duke of Argyll and quoted by
Miss Cary in her volume, "Tenny,
son." exhibits the poets humility.
"The first words I heard him ut
ter" says the duke, 'remain indeli-
bly, impressed upon my memory. On
being introduced to him at an even
ing party in the house of Lord John
Russell 1 said, perhaps with some
emotion:
"I am so glad to know you!
"Not in the tone or voice OF
mere conventional reply, but in the
accents of sincere humility, he an
swered:
"'You won't find much in me.

French and ENGLISH Tastes.

How far does the great "healthy
British public" like to see exhibi-
tions of the horrible? Certainly not
like the French, for, although Paris
has abolished the publicity of the
morgue, French company like the
Grand Guignol can 60 on year after
year, and French newspapers will
publish pictures of the corpses and
all that sort of thing as English
newspapers would not dare to do.
To call it morbid" is begging the
question. 1t is simply different from
ourselves.-London Taller.

OCEAN AN ENORMOUS POOL.
Winds and Currents Keep II Moving
Round and Round.

Round and Round.
The discoveries of modern sci
ence have revealed monsters Of the
deep as terrific as any that ancient
fancy created and have shown that
oceans are not mere wastes OF wa
ter, but the homes of an astounding
variety of living things. More than
this, it has been discovered that the
seas themselves have each sort OF
law of existence which they obey.
The photographic Office at Wash
ington has for years been trying to
learn something of the characteris-
tics of the Atlantic ocean as a great
moving body of water by means OF
bottles containing papers, which
have been dropped overheard from
vessels in many places to drift at
the mercy of the winds and waves.
Many of these bottles have been
found and picked up again either in
the open sea or on shores where
thev had stranded.
Knowing from its records where
the bottles had been thrown over
board, the bureau has been able to
trace in a general way the path
they must have followed in order to
reach the places where they were
found.
Being partially filled with air and
then securely corked, the bottles
float on the surface Of the water
and 90 wherever the winds and the
currents of the sea carry them.
Each bottle contains a record of the
place and date Of its starting. Some
of those found have floated for
many months on the bosom Of the
Atlantic and travelled thousands OF
miles.
It has been ascertained that bot
ties dropped overheard between the
shores Of the United States and
England or France generally travel
toward the northeast, following the
course of that great river in the
ocean called the gulf stream. Bot
ties started off the coasts OF Spain
or Africa travel westward until
they arrive among the West India
islands. Along the European side
of the ocean the bottles take q
southerly course and along the
American side northerly course.
Thus as a result of winds and
currents the whole Atlantic is
shown to be slowly circulating
around and around, like an enor-
nous pool. This accounts for the
stories that were current in Europe
hundreds of years ago of strange
objects of human manufacture hav-
ing foated from the new to the old
world, thus giving clew to the e1-
istence of undiscovered lands across
the sea.-Los Angeles Times.

paper and pencil. "Write cat here

The child wrote the word fairly, but
put the letter C with its back to the
A. "That is very good" said auntie,
"only look, dear, you have made the
G the wrong way" The child gazed
at the word for a moment. "But
