Old Meteorites Scarce.

Meteorites Of indicated great age are
not found In museum collections. and
1t is suggested that such specimens
may disintegrate and disappear from
the rocks within relatively short
time after falling.
The British museum, however, has
lately acquired a slice of somewhat
less than pound from a meteoric iron
that is believed to represent an ancient
fall.
The slice is from one of two similar
masses that were found in January,
1903, within a few miles of Dawson,
Klondike, and from their position deep
in the Oldest gravels of the district,
are thought to have rested there since
the Pliocene age, or before.

"cANDLES" GROW ON TREES
Remarkable Fruit Found in Islands
of the Pacific, and Some
Other Places.

The candle tree is to be found in
the Pacific islands. The nut which it
yields produces a large quantity Of
oil, and the kernels of this candle
nut are strung together on a stick
and lighted as a candle. The fruit Of
the candle tree is usually about forty
two inches long and about an inch in
diameter. OF a yellowish tint the fruit
as it hangs on the tree looks exactly
like a collection of wax candles. Not
only have these wonderful trees been
discovered in the Pacific islands but
it is recorded that some have been
known to thrive in the isle of Wight
Then there is the Japanese wax tree,
the fruit of which is mostly pure wax.
This is used for making wax candles.
The "wax fruit" which this remark
able tree bears grows in punches, just
like grapes. In China, too, a won
derful wax is obtained from a shrub
called the Stillingia Sebifera. This
tree produces punches of berries, and
| in the autumn, when these are quite
white and the leaves have put on their
autumn color" a beautiful, striking
nature picture is presented. And
finally luminous mushrooms have been
reported. This may seem incredible
but the fact remains that DIR. w. H.
Harvey has recorded that when in
Port Jackson, in some woods one
night, he was able to see the time
from his watch by the aid of the light
from some luminous "agarics" (mush-
rooms).

| rescues him, imploring her cousin
Pembroke to go to the Jail and release
the unfortunate foreigner. Pembroke,
however, believes the stranger to be
an impostor and therefore, instead of
going himself, sends a messenger with
the money. Had he gone he would at
last have met Thaddeus face to face.
Nevertheless such a meeting cannot
be avoided indefinitely. Lady Tine
mouth is an old friend of the Somerset
family and at her house the two men
finally confront one another. On rec
ognizing his friend Pembroke is filled
with joy and Immediately reproaches
Thaddeus for never having searched
him out. 1t is then that Sobieski tells
him of the letters that have been re-
turned to him. Pembroke is puzzled.
He admits, however, that his father
has always cherished a hatred for Po-
land and forbidden his son ever to visit
that country. Hence Pembroke has
never told him of his stay with the
Sobieski family.
But having now discovered Thad-
deus, the young Englishman confesses
everything to his father, and begs him
to welcome to his home the Polish no
BILE who has saved his life.
Sir Robert Somerset flies into pas
sion.
He tries by every means in his pow
er to break up the friendship.
Then it develops that years before
Sir Robert, under the assumed name
of Sackville, went on journey to Po-
land and while there met Therese So
bieski, whom he married and basely de-
serted. What wonder that ever since
he has lived in the constant dread of
being overtaken by some native of the
land of his crime; or that he shrinks
from beholding the son who has it in
his power to blazon abroad his shame
and denounce the present heir to the
Somerset estates as illegitimate?
1t is an ugly tangle, but the author
touches it lightly and straightens 1t out
with a gentleness Sir Robert Somerset
little deserves.
Thaddeus is glad to be the English
IIldU > SUI anu luc DlOllitl VI Oiii-
broke Somerset Since, however, he
has pledged his word never to forfeit
the name of Sobieski he must retain it;
he also prefers to keep his parentage
secret; nor will he put forth any
claim to the property that Pembroke
is to inherit.
Just why the Polander fails to resent
the treatment Sir Robert has accorded
his mother is a point Jane Porter
glides pleasantly over. The youth is
given a fortune by his titled father,
marries Lady Mary Beaufort and be-
comes an English gentleman.
The book is spirited and interesting,
but it is of that sentimental school of
old-time novelists who bring US to the
realization that standards have shifted
very vitality since the days when con-
tinual tears, swoons and Paintings,
were deemed a necessary and desirable
accomplishment of heroes and hero
ines.

MYTH the great war in which
wv Poland has won her freedom
still fresh in our memory,
we reread with renewed interest the
old-time classic, "Thaddeus of War
saw"
The story takes place at that grim
era of history when the little kingdom
of Poland was attacked by Russia and
Austria, and having been defeated I'M
der the leadership of Kosciusko was
forced to sign the ignOminious treaty of
partition that gave her territory to the
conquerors and wiped her name from
off the roll of free nations. From that
date until this Poland, as an indepen-
dent country, has not existed
Jane Porter lived when the shadow
of this cruel tragedy still darkened
the world and she penned her ro-
nance of "Thaddeus' only nine years
after Kosciusko had been taken cap
tive and while he was the idol of the
hour.
The noble house of Sobieski was in

ruling monarch, Stanislaus, led not
only the palatine but his grandson,
Thaddeus, into the fray.
1t was the young mans first glimpse
Of war and we see him and his grand
father setting forth to battle in the
highest spirits. Before the boy leaves
home his mother, the Countess
Therese, presents him with a minia-
ture of his father, whom he had pre-
viously supposed to be dead; and a
letter from which he learns that his
unknown parent was an Englishman
named Sackville, who, while a guest
at "Villanow," the Sobieski estate,
married Therese and afterward desert
ed her. Since his mysterious disap-
pearance nothing has ever been heard
of him. In the meantime Thaddeus
has been brought up under the name
Of Sobieski and has given his word
never to assume any other.
The discovery that he is of English
parentage is happy one, for our
heso's best friend Pembroke Somerset
is also an Englishman. While travel
ing through Russia for holiday PEN
broke, for the mere adventure of it
has been persuaded to take up arms
against Poland; and would have per
ished miserably when wounded in bat
tie had he not fallen into the hands Of
young Sobieski, who, from an impulse
of pity. saves his life and takes hin
back to "Villanow." Here the stranger
is welcomed with all kindness, and sc
winning is his personality that h
speedily becomes a second son in the
home.
When summoned to return to Eng
land he parts from his Polish hosts
with keenest regrets and with the
eager plea that when the war is owe
Thaddeus shall visit him in London.
That Poland will be the winner il

peace soon concluded when the friends

Yet his path is not entirely without
sunlight, for at the Dundas' residence
he has the good fortune to meet Lady
Mary Beaufort, q charming heiress,
who is cousin of Pembroke Somer-
sets, and as good as she is rich.
OF course Thaddeus falls deeply in
love with her and she with him.
During his acquaintance with these
many English people all of them have
suspected that Mr.. Constantine is
something more than an impecunious
teacher of languages and they try to
make him reveal his identity. Had he
yielded to their wishes he would no
longer have. been without friends, for
England is ringing not only with the
fame of Kosciusko but also with that
of the brave and dauntless Sobieski
But Thaddeus is too modest to thus
court recognition. He will stand upon
his present merits or not at all.
Therefore when General Butzou dies
and Mr.. Constantine is unable to pay
for his burial he is arrested for debt
and borne away to Newgate.
