He was so eager that the American
consented, draped the military cloak
upon his shoulders, posed him and fell
to work. Once or twice he inquired Of
him politely II he were not tired, to
which the prince-although he was
replied stoutly that he was not; then
the artist forgot all about him In the
ardor of work. But the post was
wearisome, and presently the extended
arm with the pistol showed the strain.

The prince burst into a laughter, in
which his scandalized tutor and apollo

"Give me little rest and another
trial, and 1 will promise not to wobble
till you have finished my pistol hand"
said the prince, good naturedly. and he
kept his word.
The studio Is one in which the ia
nous French painter Decamps, once
worked, and possibly, as his American
successor pointed out, that in which
had occurred another little adventure
with royalty. It is on the top floor
and a visitor paused one day before
going up, to inquire II Monsieur De-
camps were in. Receiving an affirma-
tive reply, he was just starting up the
stairs when the concierge called after
him.
"As you are about visiting Monsieur
Decamps, perhaps you will be 30 kind
as to carry up these trousers that !
have just brushed"
When, a few moments later, the bell
of the studio rang, Decamps opened
the door and found on the threshold
his friend and patron, the duke OF Or
leans, heir to the French throne, who
smilingiy gave him his newly brushed
trousers.

QUEER THINGS FROM THE SKY
Great Variety Of Matter Carried and
Dropped by the Clouds.

Dropped by the Clouds.
How often we watch the passing
clouds and wonder at their beauty.
We compare them with great masses
of snow or ice, or imagine them to be
great mountains floating across the
wide expanse Of deep blue sky. We try
to guess how high they are, where
they came from and how far they will
travel, and wonder what 1t would be
like II we could sit on the top Of one
of those beautiful white peaks and
look about US as we sailed away to dis
tant parts Of the world.
Clouds are simply masses Of vapor
Of more or less density. and their differ
ent colors are produced by the light
Of the sun shining on and through
them. The dark usually seen on the
under side Of the white or pink-edged
clouds is the shadow of the body Of
vapor, or the absence Of light on the
under side Of the cloud.
Clouds are supposed to carry moth
ing but moisture, but this is not always
the case. A great variety Of matter
has been carried in the clouds and
dropped to the earth, causing alarm
and wonder among the people in va
rious lands.
Toads are said to have fallen from
dense clouds in various sections Of this
and other countries, and, in a number
of instances, small fish are declared
to have been found scattered about in
great numbers after heavy rains.
Scientists tell us these creatures, for
whose size we are at the mercy of the
news reports, were gathered up by
waterspouts or other curious phenom-
ena in the form Of storms and carried
great distances before gravity brought
them to the earth in a shower.
In some parts of the world earth
worms, and especially those common
ly called fishing worms, are scattered
over the earth from clouds.
The writer once witnessed a heavy
shower in which these worms came
down In great NUMBERS, ana TO satlsry

ladder was secured and different
persons went to the roofs Of several
buildings, and the worms were scatter
ed over the roofs the same as on the
streets and lawns. How they were
gathered up and carried is not under
stood.
Some travellers in the far north say,
here is red snow at some points in
that cold and dreary region. Others
say It Is a red moss that sometimes
grows on the surface Of the snow, and
in few instances red insects are said
to have fallen with the snow, giving
it tinted appearance.
A number Of years ago there was a
heavy shower Of red insects near Pa

Schepps was not given an oppor-
