vicissitudes Of q Picture,

The vicissitudes Of Leonardo da

minds a correspondent Of the strange
experiences of Holbein's "Field Of the
Cloth Of Gold," which may be seen
any day at Hampton Court palace.
After the downfall Of Charles l., Crom-
we'll in order to raise funds proposed
the sale Of certain pictures, this among
the number. The bargain was already
made, but when the would be pur-
chaser came to inspect Holbein's mas
terpiece he discovered that the head
Of Henry VIII. had been cut from the
canvas. He naturally withdrew his
offer, and the picture was preserved
to the nation. On the restoration a
nobleman confessed to having CON-
mitted the theft for love Of art and his
country, and he returned the missing
head, which now occupies its original
position in the canvas. The circle
made by the knife is still plainly visi-

THEY WANT PROTECTION.

The members of congress from north

vising the tariff, there shall be no
discrimination against products from
the states they represent. A recent
Washington dispatch describes the
situation in this summary:

the cardinal principles of protection

and to northwest industries in par

question have been disturbed of late,
and alignment with the high or low
tariff schools is not nowadays ex.

"Lumber, coal, hides, lead ore and

A number of replies have been re.
ceived, each one either expressing
renewed confidence in the protective

Senator Carter of Montana, in his

Endeavoring to learn these desired
facts, Senator Carter sought them at
the various w~oolgrowers' associations,
but got no satisfaction. The federal

Fire Terms In japan.

Fires IN Japan are SO common that

accidental fire. fires starting from ones

who has taken the trouble to count
'em says that $4,000 bacteria roost

have $50 in your pocket you are prob

what are volcanoes?"
Nine out of every ten persons would
Immediately have an answe Of some
sort to the question above. for have
they not a lively remembrance of hav-
ing learned In their schoolbooks that
"a volcano Is a burning mountain, from
the summit Of which are sent out smoke
and famesT" This popular fancy has
been exploded by scientists, whose
work is to explode popular fancies.
In the first place, volcanoes T not
necessarily mountains. In reality they
are just the reverse-that Is, holes In
the earth's crust. Out Of these are
thrown the materials which, accumu.
lating. form the heaps which we popu.
larly call mountains.
These are, then. the result and not
the cause Of the action. Neither are
they burning" as we understand the
term. There is no combustion o
any action we might reasonably call
burning"
The action need not necessarily take
place at the summit, for eruptions are
Just as frequent at the sides or even
at the base. The 80 called ''smoke'' Is
nothing more or less than the clouds
Of condensing steam which are formed
on every occasion when an eruption
occur.
Lastly. the "fames," &C called, are
merely the reflection Of the mass Of
molten rock and material inside the
crater on the clouds Of steam above,
thus appearing as a glowing light. The
friction, too, set up by the motion of
the materials causes electricity. and
hence the lightning discharges which
add to the Illuminating enect.-Pear-

Garibaidps Simplicity Of Character.

An instance Of G%aribaldi's modesty
and simplicity of character is afforded

the Prussians, the best soldiers in the
world. and won. The weather. here is
very cold, and it is showing. l dare say
