Publisher Coiourn.
When the Hon. Mr. Ward wrote his
novel ''Tremaine" he was fearful Of
acknowledging himself the author I'M
til its fate should have been ascer-
tanned. he accordingly, the better to
preserve his incognito, sent the manu-
script copy by the wife Of his attorney
to Mr. Colburn. The work, although
accepted, was not considered likely to
pay extremely we'll, and consequently
a trifing sum was given for it. Con-
trary, however, to Mr.. Colburn's ex-
pectations, it ran to three editions.
The ingenious author of "Vivian
Grey" then twenty-five years old, hay
ing heard of the circumstances, deter
mined to use it to advantage, and &C.
cordingly, having arranged his work
for publication, he proceeded to find
out the honorable gentleman's fair
messenger. This ha quickly effected
and upon a promise of giving her Ego
induced her to be the bearer of his
| novel to the same publisher.
The woman was instantly recognized
by Mr. Colburn as the same person
who brought him "Tremaine,'' and,
recollecting the great sale of that nov
Ell, he leaped at the manuscript pre-
scented to him with the utmost eager
ness. 1t was quickly read and hand
some sum given for the copyright A
short time. however, enabled Mr.. Col
burn to find out his error, but too late
to remedy himself. The work was not
successful, and a considerable sum was
lost by it's publication.

young the tongue trap must be used.
Any other trap would tear the delicate

'"The tongue trap is knife, an ordi-

Resistance to the Sun.

Animals whose capacity for thermal
regulation is limited, such as rabbits
and monkeys, rapidly succumb to ex-
posture to the tropical sun. In the
same circumstances the skin of man
rises some 3 or 4 degrees G. above the
normal. Theoretically the black skin
of negro races should absorb more heat
than that of the white people, How
ever, colored races are better able than
the white to regulate their temperature
under the influence of the tropical sun
perhaps because perspiration is more
abundant. The ape, although native
of the tropics, is less capable of resist
ing the sun than other animals and
even the white man. This is no doubt
attributable to the fact that its natural
home is in the forests. For certain
monkeys two hours of exposure to the
tropical sun is fatal.

No HDeadhead" Trim.

says the author of memoirs of Charles
81. Cramp." By this line John Ran
dolph of Roanoke determined to go to
Russia when he had been appointed
minister to that country by President
Jackson Entering the Office of the

FROZEN WITH HEAT.
a Remarkable Process Known as the
as Caioric Paradox.

a Remarkable Process Known as the
a calorie Paradox.
Freezing is usually associated with
cold, but water can be frozen on red
hot plate. This pretty experiment has
rightly been called the caloric paradox.
IF a drop Of water is placed on red
hot or white hot metal plate it does
not suddenly fash into steam under
the influence of the great heat It does
not even boil. 1t simply evaporates
quietly and slowly as it rolls about the
plate Now. suppose that the drop on
the plate is volatile liquid like sui
phurous acid. 1t will evaporate. and
this evaporation will produce cold. Let
drop of water fall in the sulphurous
acid drop and it will be frozen in spite
OF the heat.
M. Boutigny thus froze water on a
white hot platinum capsule. Faraday
carried this remarkable experiment
even further. Pouring some ether and
sohdifed carbonic acid gas on a red
hot platinum capsule, he formed a
spheroidal mass which evaporated very
slowly. He then brought some mer.
| curry into contact with it, and this was
instantly frozen. Now, mercury re-
quires a temperature Of 40 degrees be-
low zero to soldify it, and here it was
frozen on redhot platinum.

An Ants Sewing Circle.

A party Of German naturalists re-
Gently returned from Ceylon have re-
ported the existence Of a species of ant
that has been observed in the act of
sewing two leaves together for the pur-
pose of forming a nest This report
confirms the observations of the Eng
1ish naturalist Ridley, made in 1890.
They saw a row of the insects pulling
the edges Of leaves together, then 9th
ers trimming and fitting the edges, and
finally the completion Of the work by
still other ants which fastened the
edges with a silky thread yielded BIZ
larvae of the same species the workers
carried in their mandibles. It is said
that the sewing ants pass the thread
giving larvae like shuttles through
holes in the edges Of the leaves.-Bos

De Wint's Clever Ruse That Sold One
of His PAINTINGS.

Peter De Whit, the English land
scape painter, was accustomed each
year to have a semi-private show of
his pictures before sending them to the
Water Color society's exhibition. On
such occasions his friends frequently
bought pictures, which, Of course, ap~
peared at the public exhibition marked
Sold"
Among the painters friends was
wealthy man who wanted to appear a
patron Of art and at the same time
keep his money. He managed this by
loudly adnliring the paintings already
sold. He was always a bit too late to
buy the pictures that pleased him
most, and having seen them, as he was
wont to declare, he could never. content
himself with less beautiful works.
De Whit at last suspected the mans
sincerity, and when the next show day
came round he concluded to test him.
After plenty of time had been allowed
for De Wint's friends to make their
purchases the rich man arrived. AS
usual, his eye soon fell on two per

1T is now about Is months since

We have travelled nearly all over this
