Historic SPOT at Ems.

On the riverside promenade at EMS
there is stone inscribed: '13 JUli. 1870.
6 Uhr 10 Min. Morgens." This marks
the exact spot where Wilhelm I. and
Count Benedict terminated the inter
view which led the French to declare
war. After the Franco-Prussian war
the old emperor often returned to Ems.
On one occasion his doctor mentioned
that the municipality wished to COM
memorate the interview with Benedict
Il, which they considered the most
memorable event in the annals Of the
town. He WAS instructed to meet the
emperor on the promenade by the
Lain at 6 a. m the following day. Will
helm then said: During my lifetime
let nothing be erected to recall that
sorrowful struggle. When I am dead
do as you please. Since you wish to
know where dismissed Benedetu It
was here under this tree 1T $40 IN the
morning" And. saying this, he placed
his foot on the spot where the monu-
ment now stands

a certain public Office has been the
object Of much satire because Of the
passive nature Of the incumbent's du-
except when he IS called By tragic
occurrence into the thick Of action. So
very negative, indeed. Is the work OF
this public servant that he sometimes
serves his country most efficiently BY
being absent, as appears il this extract
from Moses Colt Tyler's journal, writ.
ten in Washington years ago:
president Grant never starts con-
rersation. but when it IS started he
often says a neat thing. Last year
there was an excursion down the Po-
somac. He was on board, with his cabi-
net and a quorum Of both houses
Mr. President said Mrs. Judd,
who sat near him, 1t would be pretty
bad thing to have great accident hap
pen to this party. Nearly the whole
government would be destroyed
"'Yes. Mrs. Judd asSented the pres.
ident. but you observe that the vice
president has very prudently stayed az
home.'"

Nothing Like Optimism.

There's nothing like optimism. Arm
ed with its breastpiate. fitted with its
rose colored spectacles. you can with
stand any pessinSstic foe. see any
rainbow Of hope. These thoughts were
forced upon q friend Of ours who was
waiting on the corner for his wife
the other afternoon. Minutes. hours,
passed and she came not. An opti-
mistic friend joined him and shared
his vigil.
Look again and see if Theodora
isn't coming" begged the husband.
No. don't see her yet" answered
the optimist cheerily. But have cour.
age The women who are coming
along the street look more and more
ike her every minute" = Cleveland

Shark Stories.

A shark is very tenacious Of life.
and DR.. Gunther, the ichthyolosist.
has pointed out in one Of his contri-
buttons to the literature Of his subject
that wounds affect fishes generally
much less than higher rertebrates- A
Greenland shark continues to feed
while his head IS pierced by harpoon
or by a knife as long as the nervous
center is not touched
a Norwegian antarctic explorer, e. j.
Bull, gives a startling word picture OF
g sharks tenacity Of life. This man
eater was caught at the Iceland cod
fishery. His liver, heart and internal
arrangements were removed so as to
put period to his career. and the thus
mutilsted body was then cast into the
sea. He simply gave leisurely wag
Of his tail and swan rapidly out OF
sight-Chambers' Journal.

Talking. Canariel.

Talking caDarics are q great rarity.
but several authenticated Instances are
on record. at Norwood. England, in
1858 a lady had canary bird which
began by repeating a word which its
mistress had often used to it-"Kissfe,
kissie''-and by following the word up
by an imitation Of the sourd ofa kiss.
After a time the bird repeated other
words until 1t had large vocabulary
of phrases. one Of which consisted OF
Ave words. Again, In 1863, talking
canary was exhibited In Bath. with a
vocabulary such as is generally taught
to parrots, and another talking canary
vas exhibited for q few weeks in this
country. but it unfortunately caught
cold and died In Germany and the
Tyrol canaries are taught to initiate
tie notes Of other birds and whistle
simple tunes, and the wor:s which II
initiates may be regarded as mere
development or variant Of sts musical
notes.

to Stephen A Douglas, closing with q
moral which aroused peculiar interest

She did not know the sleeper, but was
struck with compassion on seeing such

awakening found the handkerchief.

Force Of Iiohtnino.

It IS hardly possible to use instru.
ments for the purpose OF figuring the
forces Of lightning. yet there are many
other ways Of calculating familiar to
every mathematician. The amount
Of light given by a single lightning
fash is enough to illuminate an area
Of two square miles. The bolt itself
would be visible several miles further
of, but the remotest part Of the re-
gion mentioned would have as much
light as would be given by a candle
quite enough to read By. To produce
such light 1t would be necessary to
e1pend 1900 horsepower for a Sec
ond. These figures appear very large,
but the time Is short. The fash might
be- for only one-thousandth Of sec-
ond. but the impression on the eye
would continue for a tenth Of Sec
ond anyway. Figured down to an
exact hour this amount Of force would
mean only about four horsepower

The Leros and the Snake.


Every one has heard Of the remarSa-
bic combats Of the Indian mongoose
with venomous snakes. In which little
rikki.tkki-tari comes of victor. The
fact that the mongoose Invariably sur

L. immune to snake poison Other ami.
mails said to be immune are the pig
and the hedgehog. The experiments
Of British naturalists show that an
animal Of the dormouse family must
be added to the list Of the immune.
This animal is known as the lerot aud
is said to fight fercely with vtpers.
Large doses Of viper's poison were In
tected into one lerot, from which In
lection no III effects followed. On one
occasion lerot was bitten badly In
the eye by q viper. and no signs OF
poisoning occurred. There can, 1t Is
thought, be no doubt that the lerot Is
immune to snake poison.
