The Water Beneath Us.
Subterranean waters at times exert an
energy dangerous to the people above.
The Prussian town of Schneidenuth has
had a narrow escape from destructions
by the.overflow, caused in deepening an.
artesialeWell, and a German writer, C,'
Falkenhorst, mentions legendary and
historical instances in which the water
has been made to rush -with great ,force
from wells and springsthrough the influ-
ence of earthquakes. A more common
danger results from the formation of
cavities in certain strata of the earth by
the dissolving out, of soluble salts—es-
pecially cornmon salt, carbonate of lime
and gyepurn. Bischoff has estimated the
that the little river Pader, near Pader-
born,abstracts from the earth 270 pounds
of carbonate of limo per minute, and
Lorenz sprine in Lukerbad brings up an-
kually 6,0001:000 pounds of- gypsum.
The surface above ground that is being
honeycombed is an unsafe piace to live.
Sudden collapses in the Karst moun-
tains often bury many inhabitants and
in the North Ce'erman -plains large areas
sometimes fall in, forming depressions
which fill with water and become lakes.
Rivers and lakes, on the other hand,
sometimes disappear through the natur-
al or artifical formation of openings be-
neath them. The lakes near Eislehen,
not far from Schneidemuh, are lowly
sinking, and their waters are drainin
into the Mansfield copper mines, threat
ening the existence of an industry, em
ploying 18,000 miners.

Electricity I* Not Life.
These are conclusions of. Mr. 11. New -
man Lawrence: (1) All the thousand and
one changes which take place in thet
structure of the living body, bp they due -
to the never -ceasing and involuntary
process of metabolism, or to the exercise
of function, or to the effort of -will, -par-
take of the nature of chemical change.
(2) All chemical changes are accom-
panied by electrical . manifestation. (3) -
Without chemical change. and inter-
change, life does not appear to exist.
(4) Therefore, life is always accompanied
by the generation of electricity. (5)
Electrieal energy, however, is not the
inimediate"source of the vitality 'of the
body.
Value of Hands and Fingers.
The comparative value of the hands
and fingers has been estimated in a scale
supplied by .the Miners' Unions and
Miners' Insurance Companies of Ger-
many. The loss of both hands is reckon-
ed as a depreciation in wotking capacity
• of 100 per cent.; of the right hand, 70 to
80 per cent.; left hand, 60 to 70 per cent.;
thumb, 20 to 30 per cent.; right fore-
finger, 14 to 18 per cent.; left.forefinger,
8 to 13.5 per cent.; Wird finger, the least
in value, 7 to 9 per cent.; little finger, 9
to 12 per cent. The range in percen-
tages is due 'to the difference in occupa-
tions.

Sucrol.
The new substance known as pars-
phenetal carbamide,, or sucrol, has been
especially recommended as a delicious
sweetening for use by diabetics, dyspep-
tics, or fat people. An investigation by
Dr. Henry Paschkis shows that the sub-
stance has no influence on the circula-
tion, respiration, digestion or nervous
system in general. Its sweetening
powee is 200 times that of sugar. Sucrol
dissolves in 50 parts of hot water or 800
parts of cold water, but is best used in
the form of fine crystals because the
powder does not moisten quickly.

- Science Notes.
Compressed air transmission of power
is practical up to at least 20 miles, ac-
cording to Prof. Unwin. Ten thousand
horse -power can be transmitted 30 miles
in a 30 -inch main at 132.3 pounds per
square inch, with a loss of pressure of
only 12 per cent. The efficiency is 59 to
73 per cent. if the air is re -heated, and
40 to 50 per cent. if it is used cold.
That the disease germs which affect
animals may prove injurious to plants
also is the view of a French physician,
Dr. Charrin. The micro-organism can-
not readily penetrate the '.envelopes of
leaves, but on entering the circulatory
system they may set up morbid physio-
logical phenomena in both animals and
plants.
- The American consul at Liege, Bel-
gium, states that for ever's, horse at least
two dogs are seen in harness in the
streets of that city. The butcher, the

drive dogs. , The usual draught of the
dogs is 600 pounds, and he steps mach
more quickly than the horse.

The cowboy is perhaps the most difficult
one to reach. He gives as the symbol of his
life the unbranded steer or 'maverick' whom
nobody owns. Some time ago a lady asked
one if he Was a Christian. 'No,' was his re-
ply; I am a maverick; the Lord Jesus
Christ hasn't got his brand on me yet.'
When once you can get one to- realize it,
Christ satiafies his needs as he does those of
all mankind. A few winters ago a cowboy
strayed into a meeting, the arrow of convic-
tion found its way ioto his heart, he bowed
at the feet of his Saviour, and consecrated
to him his life. All through the following
summer he was known as the 'preacher cow-
boy,' says the Rev. W. S. 13e11,in the "Con-
gregationalist."

Don't Like the City.
At certain hours of the day the groups
around the judges' stand in the live stook
pavilion, at the World's Fair, at Chicago,
remind one of scenes at a Kentucky sale
of blooded stook. The farmers size up
the 'leek animals shown in the ring, discuss
their fine points, and exchange' Critical
opinions. They thaw comparisons between
the great World's Fair exhibit, and that last
held by some State agricultural society
whose meeting they attended, and discover
features of excellence here which they never
before witnessed.
Then during the lull their convereation
will run froin horses and cattle to the price
of a egliare meal at the Fair, or the wearing
effect op the nerves of the excitement inci-
dent to life in Chicago. It was at such a
time yesterday that Farmer Ramsey, of Ne-
braska, stood in the midst of a group of
choice agricultural spirits and said :
"1 never suffered from sore feet as I do
now—not even in the middle of harvest.";
" Mebbe it's 'cause you walk 'round the
Fair ground on the gravel too much;
‘. tain't this tanbark in the ring that does
I," said another.
" Yes ; I .'pose that's it," returned
Farmer Ramsey. ain't tried to gravel.
I'd hire one o' them blue -coated fellows to
roll me 'round in a chair at four bits an
hour if I had the money."
The reservation about the money calmed
everyone to laugh. They knew Farmer
Ramsey to be worth $100,000. But he
went on :
"I've been here two weeks and bought
several square meals, so I Can't -afford no
chairs, 'specially when I've got to stay two
weeks longer and buy more. meals."
Farmer Miller, of Minnesota, spoke up:
"The tremendous crowds," he said,
and the walking and sightseeing have
done more than make my feet sore. They
have knocked out my nervous system. I
never saw such tremendous crowd'. Life
is too rapid for me in Chicago. I've been
here several weeks and I know I could never
stand it. It must be something fearful—
the tension to which a Chicago businete
man is kept strung up all the time. Sine
I've been here I found my nerves going to
piecee so fast that I ran up to Waukesha to
get a little quiet and rest. _
"It'. all right to come and see the Fair,
but as for me I have no desire to stay here
after seeing it. I. want to go back to the
country where people live easier and longer
and die easier when their time comes.

"Rev, Dr. Hodson' the pastor, is it Can-
adian. He succeededDr. Deems, a man of
national reputation, and has a hard road to
hos. One of his admirers, Mr. Putrinm, is
an advertising agent and -at his Iown Cost
without consulting Dr. Hodson inserted the
advertisement. Dr. Hodson is much dii-
turbed about it. Mr. Putnam •oontends
that Dr. Hodson is one of the milt brilliant
preachers of the day, and the mode adopted
is
it proper one to fill the church And benefit
those who would otherwise stay away from
service."—Pioton Times.

But it Worked.
The old eaw, "Set a thief to catch a
thief," worked in just the wrong way, one
day, in a Chicago firm's experience. The
Daily Tribune of that city tells the story
thus :—
A man who had just finished a comfort-
able meal at a State Street restaurant, sud-
denly rose from his chair, grabbed his' hat
and an umbrella that stood against the wall,
and rushed out of the building.
"Stop him !" exclaimed the cashier.
"That fellow went away without paying 1"
" I'll atop him 1" said a determined -
looking man, who rose up hastily from it
table near where the other had sat. " He
took my gold -handled umbrella ! I'll stop
him, and I'll bring him back with an offi-
oer 1 The scoundrel!"
Without it moment's pause, he dashed out
of the house in hot pursuit of the conscience-
less villain.
And the cashier, it cold, hard, unsympa-
thetic kind of man, has begun to suspect_
that neither of them will ever come back.

A Credit to His Trade.
A comical incident came under my notice
while drumming for hardware some years
ago. I met on the cars it drummer for
leather goods, and after chatting with him
for a few miles we got off together at it one-
horse station. As it was a mile or two to
the business part of the town, we hired the
station agent's horse and carriage, agreeing
to go and return together. After "doing "
the town my companion asked his last Cus-
tomer if there were no more stores where
his wares could be disposed of. The mer-
chant replied: "There is one place over
the hill yonder that you have net visited,
but it is just as well, for you would only
waste your time in going there, It would
be impossible to drive a trade with that old
pill." Having plenty of time before the
next train, we decided to at least go and
talk to him. Pulling up to the place_ indi-
cated, we wont in and the leather man be-
gan to banter the " old pill," who appear-
ed to be the quintessence of shrewdness.
I tell you you can't sell me the first
thing 1" he said with great emphasis, time
after time. At last after working him up to
the proper pitch of excitement, the jolly
man of hides said, " What you say about
not buying of me is all bosh, I am going to
sell you a bill of goods before I go out of
here; make me an offer on those straps," at
the same time whipping some cheap straps
he had in his hands across the counter. The
excited merchant yelled out, "1 don't want
'em; you wouldn't sell 'ern at my figure if
I made you an offer."
" bet you ten dollars I will," ex-
claimed my partner, suiting the action to
the word by thrusting a clean, crisp X into
his hands.
" I'll take your bet 1" returned the dis-
turbed shopkeeper instantly, yanking open
the cash drawer and putting two greasy
fives on the ten. His avarice and irritation
had overstepped his caution, and for the
moment he thought he saw an easy way of

After Long Absence.
After an absence of ten years Roy Page
returned to his native village. He walked
slowly by the brown house where he used to
live. He scarcely recognized it now, for it
had been painted red, and the two elms near
the door had been cut down. Strangers
were looking out of the window. He called
on his old friends one by one, impatient to
receive their greeting.
The minister did not know him at first.
Then he said, "What a change! You must
have prospered. You look ten years
younger than when you went away, Roy."
He called on the grocer, who said, sol-
emnly, "1 can hardly believe it is you.
You must have suffered. You look twenty
years Older than when you left us Roy."
He net in the street Farmer Hale, who
did net stop. Roy cried, "I'm Roy, who
lived 'withzou all one summer !"
The farmer stared at him awhile and said,
"Maybe you are; but you've o'hanged it
right good bit. You weigh fifty pounds
more than when you lived here, Roy."
He called on the lawyer, who, after put-
ting on his _spectacles, said, "yes, yes, I
have a faint recollection of you. But how
thin and lank you have grown !"
He saw hitched to it post in the street the
old white horse which his family used to
own, and which he had fed so often that
at the sound of his footsteps the horse would
neigh for the expected hay Or oats. Roy
went up to his old friend. The horse
stepped back as from a stranger.
Roy, eaddened by changes everywhere,
suddenly met face to face a little old man,
who at once grasped his hand warmly and
said:
"Roy, old boy, how natural you look!
You haven't changed a bit. I should have
known you in China. The five dollars you
borrowed from me ten years ago—would you
have the kindness—could you oblige me
now ?"

An Economical Woman.
An unmarried woman possessed of con-
siderable wealth who died last week in a
town in Pennsylvania was buried in a grave
that was dug 19 years ago. Her father was
buried in it originally, and after two years
his body was exhumed and placed in a
vaillt. It was a principle of the family
never to spend money uselessly, and the
daughter realizing that she herself would
need a grave sometime, decided that filling
up the grave would be a waste of good
money and gave orders that it be kept open
for her. When the not too long delayed
day came [she was then 81 years of age],
the grave was found to be half a dozen
inches too short. It was lengthened, and
the interment was made.—Exchange.
