Spoiled the Scene.

Many years ago Miss Ellen Terry was playing Naomi in the Screen Bushes" at an old Dublin theatcr, and toward the end of the play was supposed to commit suicide by jump ing into the river. One night, when she reached the usual eminencc of rock to jump off, she found to her dismay that no mattress had been placed in the "river" for her to fall on, 20 down she came on the bare boards with d hard thud. Her con- fusion was intense, but it was in- creased tenfold when d voice from the gallery sang out in rich brogue: "Och, be iabers, the waters frozen!" This remark set the house in roar and fairly spoiled Miss Terry's sen- sational scene.-Telegraph.

Weighing Common Air.

The weight of air has often been tested by compressing it in reccp- tacles by the air pump. That it really has weight when so compress ed is hown by the fact that the weight of the vessels is increased slightly by filling them with com pressed air and that such vessels be- come specifically ''lightcr" as soon as the air contained in them is eX- hauSted. Many elaborate cXpcri- mcnts on the weight of air have proved that the cubic foot weighs 53G grains, or something less than one and quarter ounces. The above experiment on the weight of air is supposed to be made at the surface of the earth with the tenn peraturc at 50 degrees F. Heated air or air at high elevations is much lighter.

Longest Straight Railroad.

The longest stretch of railway in the world without a curve is in New Zealand. where there is line of railway. d part of which stretches for distance of l3G miles in per fectly straight line. This fact is remarkable when it is taken into consideration that New Zealand is one of the most difficult countries in the world for railway construc- tion, as it is very mountainous, ne cessitating sharp curves and very heavy grades.-Christian Herald.

| p k ' A copatde1able number Of fishes are remarkable for their leaping powers, and. several of these per formers are on that account special ly favored by anglers, since by jump Ting clear of the water, in some cases many times in succession, they tax the fisherman's skill more severely than fishes less active, and thereby give added zest to their capture. Members of the salmon family are universally famous for their Thigh jumps. The sea trout, which gladden. Devon rivers under the Ename of ''harvest peal," are untiring |acrobats, and fish of pound Iweight will more than once jump several times it's own length out of Iwater when hooked before coming Ito the net. Unless the fisherman responds by promptly lowering the [tip of his rod, the fragile gut is like Fly to part, and as it is part of every sportsman's creed to appreciate his pastime in proportion to the diff cultics it presents, the sea trout stands high in the anglers cstima- ton.
 This readiness to jump when hooked distinguishes the lively spring salmon from the more slug gish run of an autumn fish, which rarely clears the water in its efforts to throw out the maddening hook.
 Precisely why these October fish should be less nimble than those of March has never been satisfactorily explained, but the higher tenpera- ture of rivers in the fall of the year may perhaps have something to do with their conspicuous indo- lence.
 1 At their best salmon can jump at least ten feet above the surface, d feat achieved by skipping the water with the powerful tail and fexins the body until the head and tail al! but meet.
 The association of the maximum of vigor and activity in fishes with a low temperature enjoys wide ac- ceptance, but should be received with caution in view of the fact that nowhere perhaps in the worlds seas are jumping fish more continually in evidence than in the gulf of Mexico.
 The grandest of all these lcaper> is the tarpon, otherwise ''silvcl king" or "grand ccaille," a monster herring, which may measure six ol seven feet and weigh d couple of hundred pounds.--New York Telc- gram

WONDERS OF THE KREMLIN.
crownins and Burial Place of tho czars 1. n For Centuries.


 l: :. For Centuries.
 The Kremlin in Moscow, like the Forbidden City in Picking, is inclos- ed by a wall entirely independent of that encircling the city. It marks thc part which escaped the great conhagration when the outlying dis tricts of Moscow were burned by the Russians, who were besieged by Ma polcon. The present wall replaced one of oak-some 500 years ago which. like the Great wall of China, was erected as a defense from the Tartars.
 Within this inclosure are the inn perial palace, the treasury, the ar senal and three cathedrals, which for centuries have respectively been the places of the crowning, the marrying and the burying of the czars of this great nation. The in closure also contains a convent and 1 many great monuments. On one side, far below, flows the river Moskva, from which the city takes its name, From the rivers opposite bank the view of the splendor of this collection of buildings is unsur- 1 passed.
 Probably nowhere in the world does an inclosure of the dimensions of that described by the wall of the Krcmlin contain precious stones ap- proximating the value of those dis played here. It has been aptly stat cd that they should not be counted by thousands, but measured by the peek. To guard them 800 soldiers are constantly in and around these buildings.
 The Ivan or bell tower is the most conspicuous structure in the 1 inclosure and contains thirty-six bells, two of which are of silver, the largest of the collection weighing sixty-live tons.
 This large bell seems to lose its magnitude when we come to ex- anime the one resting on stone foundation just outside the tower, which weighs 200 tons. It was originally intended to hang within the walls, but soon after it was cast a fire destroyed the building which sheltered it, causing nine gaping cracks and the displacement of d piece of the bell weighing nine tons. Owing to this misfortune its tongue has ever remained mute.
 Not far from the bell tower stands the arsenal, in front of which lis il display of $50 bronze cannon. trophies captured from the Turks and French. Prominent among these is the "great gun," its mouth having diameter of three feet, surrounded by so thin d shell that regard for safety probably accounts for the fact that it, like the great bell, has never spoken.
 These two curios. coupled with Moscow's prevalent paving material, <, are spoken of as the three ancient wonders of the city-"the heaviest bell which never was rung, the lar gcst cannon which never was fired and the greatest amount of cobble- stone pavement" (which ought to be tired).-William Wisner in National Geographic Magazine.

me beyond the 6 size, so | don't care.
Now, how nicely girl would handle
