London Standard, i. 18 very curious to note seicntists have always found out something of the truth of the dis tant things before they have done the same @bout what lies closer to their hands. The steady movement of the stars and the eceentric movements of the planets were noticed and measur ad ages before anyone had taken the « tronble to find out what this "earth of ours was, like. It was difficult, of course, to find out any geographical details with the poor navigating. in- struments of two thousand years ago. A little our-driven bout that hujgred the shore of an inland sea had little chance, and there was not much more opportunity for. the later vessel that depended on the wind--the vessel that found its way to the tin-bearing is- land that is now known as England. Their maps were ahominably wrong, so far as the world was concerned, but wonderfully correct when they planned out the heavens, } It is not very different nowadays. Our star maps are wonderful, our knowledge of the geography of the varth is very nearly complete, we hate accumulated a great mass of knowledge about volcanoes and earth- sakes, we know much mbout the Jovi of the sea, but we know very little about the most intimate thing we have to deal with--the air.

The era of air maviga- tion set if a couple of years ago. Men had known the surface of the sea for thousands of years.

FAINTED AND FELL. offi- Martin Sterer Had Narrow Escape From Drowning. Clayton, N.Y., 3l.--Martin Sterer, Jr., of this place, who is employed by the N.Y.C. on the construction wogk of the new dock, narrowly ecoaped death by drowning Monday. One of the earpenters while at work cut his foot with an ade, and Sterer left work.a moment to see the injured man. The wound and the sight of blood made him faint, and when he went back to work on the edge of the dock, he sat down for a moment. When a companion, who was work: ing with him, looked around, Sercrer was not to be seen, but upon further search the man saw him in the river, face downward. He pulled Sterer out, but the rescued man was unable to speak for some moments. It is supposed that he fainted away and fell into the river, and he would undoubtedly have drowned had wot his companion seen him just as he did. The Mysterious Handful. A troupe of wandering musicians were playing before a Swiss hotel. At the end of the performance one of the members left the group, ap- proached the leader of the band and pulled out a litle paper box, which he emptied into his left hand while the eyes of the leader followed ev- ery movement. He then took a plate in his right hand, passed it round, and a large sum was collected, every one mean- while wondering what he held in his left hand. "Why it is very simple," sald the leader, when questioned. "We are all subject to temptation, and to be sure of the fidelity of our collector he had to hold five flies in his left hand, and we count these when he returns, to make sure of the mon- ay." .
