Louia Boston brought himeelf to the knowledge of " scientific natural)/** by undertaking an z exploring tonr of the Bed sea, from which he brought back a strange and curious collection of fish and. shells, em- fei, bracing several specimens entirely nn- known. Continuing his researches on the coast of France, Mr. Bon ton as- .1 snmed a diver's costume in order to ob- serve at the bottom of the sea the meta- !; morphoses of certain mollusks impossi­ ble to cultivate in aquaria. He was struck with the wonderful beauty of submarine landscapes and resolved to photograph what he could, since a sim­ ple description would savor too much of an overvivid imagination. At first he worked in shallow water with a watertight apparatus, and the clearness of the water allowed him suf­ ficient light to sensitize the plates. Bat proportionally as the water deepened Clearness diminished, and the motion of the waves clouded his proofs. Then the young scientist conceived the idea of utilizing magnesium in an apparatus of Jus own invention. This apparatus oon- wjspists essentially in a barrel filled with {fs4oxygeu and surmounted by a glass bell containing an alcohol lamp. On the flame of the lamp, by means of V: mechanical contrivance, powdered Inagnesium is thrown, flaring as often as view is taken. The barrel is pierced swith holes on the lower side in such a manner that as the oxygen diminishes the sea water enters, so preserving the equilibrium between external and in­ ternal pressure. By the aid of this ma­ chine he has already made great progress in a direction new to naturalists and one likgly to confer permanent benefits in the results obtained by f qiapce,, --Exchange. Hie tort c Houses of WasMfij£!io& To most visitors Washington » only the seat of government, and interesting merely because of the department build­ ings, the White House and the capitol. Having seen these, with the National museum and the Smithsonian institu­ tion, tourists go away content. They do not pause to think that nearly all the ;great men of the nation have at one time or another had homes at the capitol, and have here done a very large share of the work that has made th°m famous. Yet so true is this that no other city on this continent is so rich in historical associations, and these associations are in the homes of the capital. They clus­ ter around houses that have sheltered the makers of the republic and are in­ volved with those personal incidents that are the most fascinating part of history. Some of these spots are remote from the portions Of the city now fre­ quented by visitors. Georgetown, which flourished before Washington was laid out even on paper, and whose older inhabitants still look down on all the region east of Bock , creek with placid scorn, has a large number of fine old buildings, several of them richly stored with relics of the Revolutionary period. Capitol hill, at the other extremity of the city, is justly proud of the fact that General Washington designed it to be the site of the great metropolis that should bear his name; that the capitol faces eastward; that every president at his inauguration takes the oath of office looking toward the dignified old part of the city and not toward the pretentious new part, of which Capitol hill feels an ill disguised jealousy.--Scribner's. Bicycle LAWS In Zarfceh. ,j|M5orrespondent at Zurich, Switzer­ land, gives a translation from the daily paper of the city's laws concerning bi­ cycling. Bicycling is only allowed upon written permission issued to competent riders. This permission must be carried by the rider. It contains his name, oc­ cupation, date of birth, place of nativity , .vi; and address, and it costs 2 francs a year. ,-T Racing is forbidden, and in narrow streets the rider must dismount. Spe­ cial sti'ess is laid upon the speed of the machine. On crowded streets, turning corners, the rider must go slow. He must not ride without using the handles of his machine to steer by. He must ring his bell in ample time, and if that is not heeded he must politely warn the pedes­ trian. Care must be taken not to worry or frighten the foot passenger. On a sin­ gle seated bicycle not more than one per­ son may sit. More than two bicycles are not permitted to ride abreast. On holi­ days, when the streets are crowded, bi­ cycling is not permitted at all. On the other hand, the bicycle shares with other vehicles the privileges of the road. Should the rider be the cause of an accident to a pedestrian he must dis­ mount, render what assistance lies in his power and give his name and address to an officer, together with a written re­ port of the matter.--Chicago Journal. THE COLORS OF THE EARTH. Sew Owr Thty A<hot tin Light That Planet 61TH to the Moon. The wonderful difference between the same landscape in winter and in summer is a phenomenon familiar to all dwellers in the temperate zones. The two groat elements of change are the presence of snow in winter and of leaves and g?asa in summer. If we could look at our globe from the moon, the variation in its aspect due to seasonal changes would perhaps be even more striking than it appeal's to those upon its surface. Jul fact, we sometimes lose sight of the very important part Which vegetation plays in giving color to what might be called the countenance of the planet. It is not the highest forms of plants that always produce the greatest effect in this way. Some of the most striking scenes upon the earth owe their charac­ teristic features to mosses and lichens. The famous "crimson cliffs" of Green* land, which extend for miles northward from Cape York, derive their splendid color from the growth of red lichen which covers their faces. The cliffs rise between 1,700 and 2,000 feet straight from the water's edge, and being composed of gray granite their aspect would be entirely different from what it is but for the presence of the! lichen. Coming to less magnificent, but not' less beautiful scenes, the rocky pass! called the Golden Gate in the Yellow-1 stone National park owes its rich color and its name to the yellow lichen cover­ ing its lofty walls, and the indescribable hues of the great hot spring terraces arise mainly from the presence of minute plants flourishing in the water that over­ flows them. Considered as a whole, the vegetation of a planet may give it a characteristic aspect as viewed from space. Many have thouglft that the red color of Mars may be due to the existence of red instead of green vegetation there. That its broad expanses of forest and prairie land cause the earth to reflect & considerable quantity of green light to its neighbors is indicated by the fact that at the time of the new moon a greenish tint has been detected over­ spreading that part of the lunar surface which is then illuminated only by light from the earth.--Youth's Companion. THE BIG REVIEW. Basque Is • Lonely Tongue Still. The question, Who are the Basqttet# that mysterious people who give their name to the bay of Biscay, is always cropping up, and Professor von der Ga- belentz has recently endeavored to show that the Basque language belongs to the African Berber family of speech--for ex­ ample, the Eabyle and Taureg. His ev­ idence, however, only amounts to a few culture words being identical in the Basque and Berber languages and cer­ tain analogies in the taws of phonetic change. Moreover, he assumes that the Basques and Iberians were the same peo­ ple. But, as Canon Isaac Taylor points out, the Iberian tongue, according to our highest authorities, was different from the Basque, and the French Basques are a different race from the Spanish Basques, who are a feebler people of the Iberian type. If we assume that the Basques conquered the Iberians, we can account for the resemblances noticed by Professor von der Gabelentz, because the Iberians of Berber origin in acquir­ ing the language of their conquerors would retain their own phonetic ten­ dency and also some culture words in both languages. As Canon Taylor re­ marks, we may still believe that the Basque language is allied to the Ural- Altaic type.--London Globe., Reason For Rejoicing. When Wesley and Nelson were trav­ eling through Cornwall, from common to common, preaching to a people who heard willingly, but seldom or never proffered them the slightest acts of hos­ pitality, they were frequently hungry."^ They were detained some time at St. Ives because of the illness of one of their companions, and their lodging was little better than their fare. "All that time," says Mr. Nelson, "Mr. Wesley and I lay on the floor. He had my greatcoat for his pillow, and I had Btirkitt's 'Notes on the New Testament' for mine. "After being here nearly three weeks, one morning about 8 o'clock, Mr. Wes­ ley turned over, and finding me awake dapped me on the side saying: 'Brother Nelson, let us be of good cheer! We have much to rejoice in. I have one whole side yet, for the skin is only off one side.' "-"-Youth's Companion. Mistress and Maid.1 "Marie, has any one called while I have been out l" ^Yes, ma'am; Mr. Pommier." - - "Mr. Pommier? I don't know any ' one of that name." "1 know that, ma'am; it was me he IMP anae to see."--RWUOINO ROM. The Danger of Matches. We wonder how our ancestors man­ aged to get along at all before the in­ vention of matches; they are so indis­ pensably handy that we keep them in every room in the house; the "men folks" carry them in their pockets, leave them hanging in their "other clothes'* in a dozen closets in all portions of the house; we have a handful resting within reach while we sleep, they are dropped here and there as we attempt to handle them; if it is light and we readily see them, they are picked up, otherwise they are left till a more convenient season-- which generally does not come, simply because they are forgotten, being "only a match '--we can get plenty more for a halfpenny, and time is too valuable to be wasted over so insignificant a trifle. Yet this "insignificant trifle" possesses the latent power to destroy the finest mansion, and with it lives of sweetness and beauty which the word can poorly afford to spare. The cause of the con­ flagration may not always be revealed, for the fire demon frequently covers or destroys his tracks most effectually. But how often is it apparent that only a simple match--that insignificant trifle- could have wrought the ruin!--Family Doctor! •• When I went up, a raw rccruit.

Vacuum. . /, The space above the mercury mometer is not a perfeot vacuum. There is not infrequently a small portion of air left in such space, and there is always an atmosphere of the vapor of mercury. Physically speaking, it is perhaps impos­ sible to procure a vacuum. It is most likely that even if a real vacuum could be procured for an instant air or other vapor would at once begin to be dissem­ inated from the sides of the vessel in which it was made, and it would thus instantly cease to exist. It is true that Dexartes denied the very possibility of a vacuum and says, "If a vacuum could be effected in a ves­ sel, the sides would be pressed into con­ tact," but it is hardly correct to say, "Scientists say that a vacuum cannot exist." What scientists do say is what Galileo said, "Nature abhors a vacuum." As the statement of a fact is true, na­ ture does, to the best of our knowledge, abhor a vacuum. She never suffers it to exist to the extent of allowing any space which is perceptible to our senses to be vacuous. Vacuum, in scientific speech, simply means a space from which air has been expelled.--Brooklyn He Was Conscientious. Here is a good littl6 story told by George Tyler, a young newspaper man who is actively engaged in theatrical management: ' . "One of my theatrical friends," said Mr. Tyler, "was not many seasons ago doing the Romeo to a very bad Juliet in a country town in Kansas. Even that rural audience could hardly stand the performance. Dozens of the auditors hissed. At length only one man was noticed as maintaining an absolute si­ lence. At last the man who sat by this fellow said: " 'Why don't you join in the fun? 14 'It wouldn't be fair.' , " 'And why? " 'Well., I came in on a pass, but if they dbn't improve darned if I don't go out and buy a ticket and begin on 'em.'" --St. Louis Republic. CLOTHED -- Found Her Daughter In Tights. An indignant mother who saw her 16- year-old daughter clad in gorgeous tights practicing a somersault has noti­ fied the police of a peculiar state of things. She says not only her daughter but a number of other girls of that age have been engaged to form a theatrical combination. These damsels, it ap­ pears, meet for rehearsals in barns and are under the instruction of a couple of | men. They intend to make a tour of j the small towns of the state. All wear | tights, it seems, and this one girl's mam­ ma was shocked at her daughter's ap­ pearance. The police are looking for the men who are training the tender maidens to feel at home in the slcirt^aa costume.--Reading (Pa.) Dispatoku Her First Wank A woman dropped into a Chicago news­ paper office. She was bright and clever, but absolutely penniless. She stated her case plainly. She had been lying ill in a hotel for six weeks, with no money to employ a doctor, and only the sparse care that an overworked chambermaid was able to give her. Would the editor help her? He would. He gave her a subject for a special, advanced money on it out of his own pocket and said, "Now, my girl, you'd better go and see a doctor right off." "Oh, no," she said, "I must have a fall hat first."--Chicago Letter. • s* Torpid Hdvair. * • A clogged condition of the system is one symptom of a liver out of order.
