IF THE EARTH HAD NO
ATMOSPHERE.

Without the atmosphere, besides the
inconvenience to breathing, a great
many peculiar things would be OBJ
served that would seem extraordinary
to us. The sun would rise straight up
in the morning into sky as black as
ebony, traverse black sky and sink
down to rest at night into a black
bed No beautiful glories of the sun
set and sunrise would appear, no blue
ness of the heavens be seen, no red
sun gradually grow brighter, but
one that would rise as fiery orb and
remain thus all day. No twilight nor
daybreak to cheer us, for there would
be nothing to diffuse light. Unless
the sun shone directly on thing we
could not see it. Thus our houses
would have to be made of some trans
parent substance or else be artificially
lighted in the day time. No voice or
music could be heard, for there would
be no medium to carry it; no birds
or insects would fit about in the
trees and above us. for there would
be nothing to enable them to utilize
their wing motion No clouds would
be seen in the intensely black sky
and no thunderstorms or high winds
would be possible. No vegetation
could exist and no animal could live
This, according to an authority, is the
exact condition of affairs on the
moon.

THE FROGS AND THE CANDLE.

William j. Long, the naturalist, has
made a study of frogs and their hab
it's, and the following story from his
book, Wilderness Ways" tells of the
strange power exerted over these
creatures by light:
The most curious and interesting
bit of their strange life, he says, came
out at night, when they were fascinat
ed by my light. l used sometimes tC
set a candle on piece of board for a
float, and place it in the water close
to the shore, where the ripples would
set it dancing gently. Then | would
place a little screen of bark at the
shore end of the float, and sit down
behind it in darkness.
Presently two points of light would
begin to shine, then to scintillate, out
among the lily-pads, and chigwoolt2
would come stealing in, his eyes grow
ing bigger and brighter with wonder
He would place his forearms akimbo
on the edge of the float, and lift him
self up bit, like little old man, and
stare steadfastly at the light. And
there he would stay as long as I lei
him, just staring and blinking.
Soon two other points of light would
come stealing in from the other side
and another frog would set his elbows
on the float and stare hard across al
the first conner. And then two more
shining points, and two more, till
twelve or fifteen frogs were gathered
about my beacon, as thick as they
could find elbow room on the float
all staring and blinking like so many
strange water owls come up from the
bottom to debate weighty things, with
little Pickering will-o'the-wisp nod
ding grave assent in the midst Of
them But never a word was spoken
the silence was perfect.
Sometimes one, more fascinated OF
more curious than the others, would
climb on the float, and put his nose
solemnly into the light. Then there
would be loud sizzle, a jump and {
splash; the candle would go out, and
the wondering circle of frogs would
scatter 30 the lily-pads again, all swim

HER NEW YEARS BENSON.

81 think we will be here for two or
three years, at any rate. We have
rented an apartment in Eutaw Place.
why, you are just across the street
from u.s." answered Kathleen gladly
"That will be so pleasant for me, Miss
Randall. If I am not mistaken, 1 saw
you at Mass this morning."
"And saw you also there"
Il remember when you and your
aunt first moved into the apartment
and when l first saw you at church"
At this juncture the hostess came
up. Miss Randall" she said, Il an
going to ask you to give us the benefit
of few of your lovely foreign songs
You will not refuse me?"
Rosemary Randall was of a timiG
and retiring nature, but her European
etiquette had taught her that to refuse
such request would be impolite. Sc
she rose and, following her hostess
into the parlor, blushingly sat down al
the grand piano. The guests crowded
in from the dining-room, library, hal
and conservatory. Kathleen Austin
found a place near the piano, and Eve
Ign Hart sat down beside her.
AS soon as Rosemary Randall com
menced to play she forgot herself and
the audience Passing her long, slend
er fingers over the keys, she began
with an aria from Lucia di Lammer
moor" Her clear, birdlike voice was
admirably suited to the music, and
when she finished the persistent ap
plause called for an encore. The sec
ond selection was from "Regoletto. .
She was sweet, tender picture-her
slender figure, in it's white, simmer
ing dress, outlined against the massive
instrument, the tremendous folds fall
ing like melodious fugues around he1
feet. Her slight form swayed less than
flower in the summer breeze, while
the finely-poised head, with it's rich
dark hair, revealed the stilled rapture
of celestial spirit. Kathleen Austin
gazed as on a vision while upon Eve
Ign Harris countenance came such q
look of sweet serenity as all her beau
ty could not have placed there.
When the song was ended Kathleen
darted forward to congratulate her
new friend. Some one caught her by
the arm, and, turning, she saw Evelyn
Hart, who asked eagerly "Who is she;
Who is she?"
"She is the niece of the celebrated
artist, Randall, and she has just re
turned from Europe" answered Kath
leen, not waiting to watch the effect
of her words.
"a tall, handsome young man was
standing beside Rosemary when Kath
leen reached her. Miss Austin, per
NIT me to introduce to you my cousin
Luigi Randall. You will excuse him
for he speaks very little English, but
knows Italian and French. You know
his mother is an Italian, and he hal
just come to America"
Fortunately Kathleen had not forgot

How did you come to have deal

That's what I've been writing.
You see, he promised to make man
of me, but he made me a beast. Then
he said he would brace me up, but he
made me go staggering around and
then threw me into the ditch. He
said l must drink to be social. Then
he made me quarrel with my best
friends and be, the laughing stock of
my enemies. He gave me a black eye

"Of course"
HE said he would warm me up,
and l was soon nearly frozen to
death. He said he would steady my
nerves, but instead he gave me deli
rum tremens. He said he would give
me great strength, and he made me

ITO be sure"
"He promised me courage"
Then what followed?"
"Then he made me coward, for
beat my sick wife and kicked my
little sick child. He said he would
brighten my wits, but instead he made
me act like fool and talk like an

man out of me, but he made me a
