but entirely INSCRIPTIONS. When duty
took him away from his royal mistress
they wrote love letters, just as ordi-
nary people do, and the letters of the
marquis always breathed undying de-
votion. And, while thus convincing
the queen that he lived for her alone,
he was quietly laying siege to young
Roman girl of wealth and beauty.
In his letters to this girl he ridt-
culed the queen shamefully, applying
contemptuous names to her; and. not
satisfied with this business, he sent
several of the queens love letters to
her, that she might enjoy good laugh.
But Nemesis was on the false lovers
trail.
There was u certain cardinal who
had long been Jealous of the marquis.
and who was anxious to be the queens
favorite. The cardinal had his spies,
and soon learned the details of MOnal-
deschi's treachery. By some means he
secured possession of the entire corre-
spondence with the Roman girl, and
turned the letters over to the queen.
Christina must have had bad hour
when she read those letters, in which
her love and trust were ridiculed.
On Saturday, November 10. the mar
uuis was summoned to the galerie des
Cerfs, "a long and gloomy apartment of
the palace. He entered, bowling and

smirking, her glance brought terror
to his heart, although he had no ink
ling of what was in store. Turning
to Father lie Bel, she said:
"Hand me those papers"
He produced the letters, which had
been intrusted to him by the queen.
She in turn handed them to the mar
quis.
"Do you recognize these?" she asked.
There was an icy sweat on the brow
of the marquis. and his legs trembled
under him.

closed around him and drew their
swords.

and turned her back OH him. The
three armed men drew closer. The
marquis saw that his hour was come.
He had been known as IL man of cour-
age, but in this extremity he was a

UNFAIRLY abdicated in favor of her
cousin, in order that she might travel

was young and beautiful and the most

"Welcome to Our City" sign was hung
out whenever she deigped to visit a

Toward the close of the year 1867

Effect Of Darkness on Gold Fish.

A scientist kept gold fish in roomy
tank and with plenty of food. but In
absolute darkness. He kept 1t up for
three years, and then observed the
notifications that had occurred In the
fish. The color first became black. but
after the second year 1t became golden
again, and the reason for this is inter-
esting. In the first instance the dark
pigment cells spread out and covered
the subjacent layer of crystals which
gives the gold fish its golden sheen. In
the second instance the phagocytes de-
voured the dark pigment cells. and thus
re-exposed the golden layer. The
changes in the eye were even more In
teresting. The structure of the eye
was completely altered. The fish be-
came totally blind. The experiment
suggests that an individual fish impris-
oned in n perfectly dark cave would
become blind. But 1t does not throw
any direct light on the origin of n blind
race of fishes in caves.-New YORK
