THE CHEMISTRY OF HELL.

From Current Literature for May.
 It has been pointed out in more than one scientific organ during the compara- lively few years that have elapsed since the discovery of the radioactive elements how readily the new knowledge lends itself to the belief in an eternal hell of fire and birthstone. To the lay mind, as a Paris paper points out, hell is supposed to be a scientific impossibility, whereas 1t has been made, on the contrary a physical and chemical fact, The physics and the chemistry of hell must not be taken to demonstrate the habitability of hell by the souls of the damned. The souls of the damned may not be there, but the place exists precisely where the scholastic theology places it--namely, in the center of the earth. In considering a proposition. or rather a hypothesis, that hell exists, the scientist will differentiate between the place, the ruler of the place, and the subjects under his sway. In this order of ideas science has to do only with the place, leaving the devil and the damned, out of account altogether.

FRANCIS MARION cRAWFoRo.
Authors Facility In Acquiring Lan-
 guaaes and Crafts. -~

George P. Brett in the Outlook.
 MT. Crawford as @ young man was the envy of most of his circle of intimate friends and acqauintances; tall, straight, formed in perfect physical proportions, he was exertmely handsome; and in addi- tion he had a brain which could grasp giants tasks with ease-taslSs which for the rest of us were either impossible or only attainable after months or years of effort. He had a special facility for &C., quiring languages, and he is the only man that I have ever known who has been taken for Frenchman in France, for a native of Italy by the Italians and for German in Berlin.
 remember that he was on one occasion thinking of spending a winter in one of the countries of Central Europe whose language was unknown to him, in order to obtain local color and atmosphere for one of his novels. and that in the short space of eight weeks he had acquired by constant study mastery of the language so that he was easily able to make him self understood when he afterWard went there.
 The same facility which he had for ac- quiring languages also extended to other things He mastered. l remember, the difficult art of navigation in the course of 8 short winter season in New York, in spite of the calls of his regular liter ary work and his many social engage

SECRET OF PATHS YOUTH.

From the strand Magazine.
 Now that I have plenty of time for reflection, says Adelina Patti in the cur rent Strand magazine, I am intensely amused at the wonder of which am the object. People wonder at what they are pleased to call my perpetual youth, and they wonder how I manage to kill time here at my castle in far-off Wales, away from society and social settlements. Such shoals of letters I receive, begging me to tell them the secret of my voice, my complexion, my figure, my animal spirits. They pledge their word that if I will only tell them all it will be held inviolable. As if there was any se- cret, unless temperance in all things is a secret! never strain my voice, avoid all pastries and rich dishes, and I am slave to nothing; I endeavor to cultivate content. As for my supposed likeness, I rarely know an idle moment love to manage my own house. to call upon my neighbors, to entertain my friends-M.

THE END APPROACHING.

From the New York Sun.
 It is apparent that the debate on the tariff bill in the Senate Is ap- preaching rapidly its end. Washington has ceased to be pleasant place of residence. The senators are showing unmistakable signs of irritation and loss of temper. The nerves of every body in the capitol are in constant evidence. Oratory becomes task and not pleasant pastime for the ora tor.
 Summer resorts, Europe and the summer school platforms await the completion of the legislative work, and their calls become sweeter and more insistent as the mercury climbs in the tubes along the Potomac. Families have a word or so to say. The chill sdren must be got into the country Schools are closing, and the young folks must be looked after while they recuperate from their severe labors at the desk and under the midnight electric globe. It is high time to be off from Washington.
 What the manufacturers, the mer- chants the traders have not been able to do, the weather clerk will accom- plish. He will force through tariff measure, write it. on the books and send tie members of Congress back to their homes, where the whole business community devoutly wishes them to be-.

Admiral Sigsbee and the Maine

Admiral Sigsbee, who was in con- mand of the Maine when she was de- stroyed by explosion, opposes the rais- ing of the ship. He says the effort would be expensive after the ship had Jain in the harbor mud II years. and he does not think any new light on the disaster would be obtained. The whole world, he says, now virtually accepts the opinion of the court that Investigated the disaster, namely, that the ship was blown up from the out side.
 Admiral Sigsbee's reasons for non action on the part of the United States are not very convincing. The sinking of the ship robbed Spain of her colonies, and made this country a recognized world power. It was one pf the great events of this world. The cost of raising the ship need not, therefore, be considered by a country of great wealth and population, and it Is not at all plain that once raised the story of the explosion would not be cleared up. Admiral Sigsbee does not claim to know how the ship was blown up. It is as much a mystery to him as 1t is to the rest of the world. He permitted hundreds of people in a time of deep feeling to visit the ship md the explosion may have been of an internal nature. At any rate the wreck should be removed from Ha- vana harbor, and the United States should do the work, leaving discoveries pertaining to the explosion to take care of themselves.
 Perhaps the strangest features of the entire matter is Admiral Sigsbee's opposition to the raising of the ship that he commanded when the explo- sion occurred.
