ATOMIC WORLDS.
There May Be Billion of Them In a
Speck of Dust.

There May Be Billion OF Them In
Speck of Dust.
How would you like to live in an
atomic be one of the millions Of in
habitants of a world so small that you
cannot even see it beneath a micro
scope?
The scientists tell us that each atom
is a solar system, with its central sun
and revolving planets in their orbits,
and that little atom people live and
love and fight and die there and never
know but what they are just the big
gest and most important folks that
live There are military atomites
there, no doubt, who strut around and
get tangled up in their swords and
give orders in gruff voices; actor atom
ties who star in atomic theaters and
are adored by lovely atomite maidens
and criticised by the trenchant pens of
the newspaper men.
There is every reason to believe that
life in the atom is much like life in the
earth and that the kings and emperors
there make war on their distant enc
mics and have their peace conferences
and their periods of financial stringen-
cy. The joke of it is that they prob
ably take themselves seriously, and,
though there may be a billion atomic
worlds in a speck of dust, there is
never an inhabitant of one of them
that knows how small he is and how
much he misses by not being a man
instead of an atomite. - New York

A Museum with a Mission.

New mechanical inventions which
work out we'll under experiment are
always interesting. AS a rule, people

Of preventing accident those who are
exposed to or may be held responsible
for serious mishaps are disposed to try
the newest thing on general principles,
and the display of new safety devices
in New York is certain to be viewed
by the practical as well as the merely
curious Although accidents are COM
mon, the thought of one is distressing
to the average person the moment the
mind is forced to dwell upon a con-
crete case. Sure means of prevention
for any important class of them would
be almost as great a boon as an infal-
lible consumption cure.

sive. promise to save dollars as well as
to limit human suffering. Most acct
dents are attended with material dam
ages which cost money to repair. Not
alone that, for the time of the injured
and of those attending on them is
wasted from the industrial point of
view, but many times a farreaching
activity is disturbed or even demon
allied. A farming community is upset
for a whole day perhaps by distress
ing accident in the neighborhood.
Scores or hundreds of factory people
will be made idle by an accident.
Wholly aside from humanitarian con-
siderations, therefore, ample reasons
exist for putting faith in cheap, simple
and practical apparatus to guard all
manner of industrial workers from
peril and schooling for the masses in
safety devices is worth while.

Slow Mental Ripeninu.

Not infrequently those mentalities
that ripen the slowest last the longest,
and often the history of these great
men has been persistent neglect and
worldly GOODNESS until forty or more
years have passed before their great
ness has been conceded by their con-
temporaries. Truly ''the life history
of a great genius is almost invariably
one of sad and somber tone, walk
apart from the beaten path" Such
are the words of one who should know
what the ''doers of deeds" must en-
dure. Be this as it may, it is now
recognized that many of the finest
achievements in business, statesman
ship, literature and in all activities
have been wrought by men long past
sixty. Writes one, "No strong man
will accept sixty as the arbitrary limit
of his ambition and working ability

The SiIkworm.

Upon attaining full growth the silk
worm becomes restless, stops feeding
and throws out silken threads. The
silk is formed in a fluid condition and
issues from the body of the worm in a
glutinOus state, apparently in a single
thread. From this silk the worm con-
structs its cocoon, an interval of from
three to five days being required to
complete its Imprisonment in the en-
velope. In order that the silken strands
may not be subjected TO the danger of
breakage by the moth emerging from
the cocoon. the cocoons are steamed
till the inclosed insects are dead. After
this the silk may be wound off.-New

A GREAT WRESTLER.
His Encounter With the Gar and His
Iunoble Reward.

tbs encounter WIFI the OZdE anu
Ienoble Reward.
One of the stories of Peter the Great
which are current at the court of St
Petersburg is of the great cars wres-
Ting match with young dragoon-
Once in the imperial palace-so the
story gOes-Peter was at table with
a great ccany princes and noblemen,
and soldiers were posted within the
hall. The car was in joyous mood,
and, rising, called out to the company:
Listen, princes and boyars! Is there
among you one who will wrestle with
the carp There was no reply, and
the car repeated the challenge.
No prince or nobleman dared to wres-
tie with his sovereign. But all at once
a young dragon stepped out from
the ranks of the soldiers on guard.
Listen, orthodox car" he said. Il
will wrestle with thee" well, young
dragoon," said Peter, Il will wrestle
with thee, but on these conditions: If
thou throwest me, l will pardon thee,
but if thou art thrown thou shalt be
beheaded Wilt thou wrestle on those
conditionsY'
81 will, great czar," said the soldier.
They closed, and presently the soldier
with his left arm threw the car and
with his right he prevented him from
falling to the ground. The sovereign
was clearly beaten. The car offered
the soldier whatever reward he should
claim, and he ignobly claimed the
privilege of drinking free as long as
he lived in all the inns belonging to
the crown. What became of him his
tory does not say.

SAVIOR OF GOLD STANDARD
Seth Low Praises Cleveland in
Chamber of Commerce Speech.
"saved the Country from Disaster
by His Courage and Decision
In 1898"

New York June 26.-The chamber Of
commerce, Of which ex-President Cleve-
land was an honorary member, held a
special meeting to-day TO do honor to
his memory.
1T is certainly due 20 Mr. Cleveland's
courage and decision that the country
was saved from losing the gold stans-
ard in 1895" said Seth Low. 1T IS
impossible to measure the magnitude Of
the disaster which the country was thus
spared, for Il is always impossible TO tell
what would have been the far-reaching
consequences of a danger that has been
escaped from. but this at least Is GER
tain, that twice thereafter his country
men were invited TO enter upon the road
from which he turned them and both
times they shrank back affrghted.
This chamber and the nation are stand
ing as mourners at the grave Of Mr..
Cleveland to-day because we are sensi-
bic OF our own loss. 1t is fitting that at
such times we should not forget the
widow and the children Of the man for
whom the nations loss is an overwhelm-
ing personal sorrow. We would not. IL
we could, pass beyond the veil that
separates the home from the public career,
but we may at least. from the far side of
that hallowed division, send a word OF
sympathy and affection TO Mrs. Cleveland
and the children who bear the mama OF
him whom the whole nation is proud 70
honor. As God has been with the father,
SO may He be with the widow and chill
dren forever"
George F. Seward presented to the
chamber a resolution, which was passed,
extending sympathy TO the family Of Mr..
, Cleveland and recognizing his services in
both private and public station.
