IHArlEB XVI. THB C.1MPACT. A culprit, opprehended by an officer of tho law, a criminal aeeusinl by a stern judge, could not havo exhibited more emotion than did ihe man whom Ealph Prescott had aceeptod as Paul Dalton, at tho soul-thriUing words, of the excited Ruth Elliott. Strango words th ay woro wild words, bordering seemingly on incoherenoy. Were thev the result of hallucination, delirium? No! As tho rapt lurker studied the face of the beautiful girl, he knew that the penetrating gaze of reason, tho great throbbing instinct of love, had aided her to seo beyond tho superficial, and had unmasked villainy. In plain words, slio uooused this man with being an impostor. In awful arraignment before the bar of her womanly conviction, she charged him with the crime of robbing her of her husband. Then he was not Paul Dnlton, not hor husband, not tho c x-Superlnlendont of Maple Leaf Farm ! He wa? an impostor, a fraud, and, as the truth flashed upon Ealph Prcscott's excited mind, he now comprehended many vague and perplexing utterances that he ha:t overheard hiia uso during the evenful evening just past. Furthermore, as ho ga?od, he marveled how he could ever huvo taken this man for Paul Dalton. There was a marvelous resemblance, but of features alone, for the dissimilarity in soul, in expression, was utterly luoking. What had aided to deceive Prescott was the shaving off of the beard. This prepared him for a change in looks. As to the voice, a slight cold might account for the huskiness that made this Paul Dalton talk so difforently from the other, the real Paul Dalton. Yea, there could be no doubt of it, the tvuth was out, tho plotter unmasked, a fraud revealed that completely outvied ail Kalph Preseott's puerile villainy. This man, a relative of Paul Dalton, a man at least exactly resembling him, had heard of his legacy. Ho had imprisoned the real heir; the bearded man, his accomplice, was his j.iilor; he had boldly assumed Paul Dalton's identity; he was scheming to secure the Forsythe fortune and fly with it, leaving tho real legatee a beggar. The bewildering complications that were thus put in play made Balph Preseott's brain fairly reel with surmise and uncertainty. The false.Paul Dalton cowered like a craven before tho flushing glance of Kuth Elliott. A woman's shrewdness had penetrated his bold ussumption of the identity of the man he resembled so extraordinarily. He had deluded Prescott and the lawyer, but now he was unmasked, and one word publicly spoken by the woman before him would not orly cost him a fortune but might sew. him to a penal institution. That word, however, was never spoken. Of a sudden, the nerves of the agitated Kuth gave way, the strain of j the hour becoming too intense foi hor already weakened nature. With a moan j she sank senseless to the floor. The impostor glanced at her aifrighteily for a moment or two, and then with a wliito, scared, face, hurried from the room. Balph Prescott was after him in a flush. He directed u hurried injunction to the woman who was attending Ruth to look to her charge, then he was dashing from the house in pursuit of a figure flying down the doserted street, as if pursued by a pestilence. "Stop!" As the impostor dashed across a vacant fir-lined lot the mandate rang out clear, sharp, imperious. Ho was (rambling all over, his faoe was the color of ashes, his eyes haunted with a tearful dread, his manner cowed, crushed; little like that of tho haughty. Insolent tyrooi the early evening, as he turned and faeec! Baiph Prescott. The latter, realizing his advantage, pressed it promptly. "What do you want?" "You." "Oh," peering closer, "it is Prescott. (five me time to catch my breath, man!" He leaned against a tree and panted furiously. Kalph Froscott watched him, as might a cat a mouse. Ho hod cornered his man. He knew what to do now, fast enough. " You'vo made a mess of it," he said, bluntly, at last. "Have I?" And she other laughed uneasily. "What do you mean?" "I have followed you all the evening." The impostor started. "I overheard your conversation with your accomplice at the hotel, tho bearded man. " "Newcornbe!" ejaculated the impostor. "Ah! is that his name? Thank you. Tee. Newcombe, the jailer of tho real Paul Dalton at Blo.ck Rock. " The shot told. Ralph Prescott hod guessed the truth. His companion Bhivered at his words. "You know all I am lo3t!" he muttered. "At least, tlie game is." "I fdrtbermoro," pursued Prescott, eoolly, "witnessed your Interview with Ruth Elliott." The impostor was silent. Ho was overwhelmed at the fast-occurring disasters of tbe night. "Yes, I know all this," continued Prescott. "I know your plans, and I hold the whip-hand now. No need of subterf ugo now. . You and I had better come to an understanding. "What kind of an understanding?" stammered the abashed Impostor. "Well, our intereste are identical, In one respect." "And what may that be?" "Old Geoffrey Fomythe's fortune, left to the real Paul Dnlton, coveted by you, and rightfully my own. I sen no means of regaining it by fair means. You have suggested and put in force foul ones. I hate Paul Dalton. Tho first step toward revenge would be tho securing of the fortune." "Well?" muttered his auditor vaguely. "If we can arrive at a harmonious conclusion, can make an equitable arn.ngoment, I might bo tempted to allow you to go on with your imposition. At the end of a week, unless I interfere, you will receive the legacy from Lawyer Drew." "You forget that woman may speak." "Ruth Elliott? She muy not know o yonr plans in tlmt direction." "She could denounce me she suspects that f have imprisoned hor husband." "But she is ill; the delirium may return, and see here, my irienl. Acrroo to puy me one-half tho fortune when j you get it, and I will guarantee to keep I Ruth Elliott silent until the week has 1 passed away." j "A bargain!" cried tho other with brightening eyes. "Very well. But there must be no deception, no double -dealing." Am I not completely iii your power?" "Perhaps. Still . I Khali wateh you cloeely, ami mut bo made a confidant of all your past history and present

plots. Now, then, go to your hotel, t wl .1 join you there and report progress in an hour." "And you?" "I shall return to Ruth. I shall remove her to some safe place, where she will bo kept a secure prisoner until your ph.ns materialize." "Ail right!" "Sellevodly, hopefully, the Impostor sp-d towards the hotel. He gained his room and lit a lamp. "A close shave!" he muttered, as he removed his hat; "but bettor half the fortune than none, and if I ever got my Outers on the money I'll find some way to delude this meddler. Tho girl is the main cause of fear, but with her a prisoner, I can consummate my plots with-ou-; fear of hindrance or doteotlon. Ah! what is that?" He paused, and glanced down at a white object lying on the carpet at his fedt. It looked like a folded note, sli pped under the door of the room. Ho took it up and opened it. He started wildly as he scanned the single line it bore. Then a groan burst from his lips. Wretchedly pale, wretchedly hearteiok, he read the simple words that conveyed a terrible warning, a mystic revelation to his guilty soul. ' Leave Bidgeton, abandon your wicked plans, or I swear to unmask all your pant," it ran. And the signature the horrid scrawl bore was: ' Your deserted wife, Isabel." CHAPTER XVII. rnaciot'B prey. XUdgeton had something now to talk about next day. The woman who had been called by Ralph Prescott to attend upon Ruth, had told her story with dawn, and the villagers were consequently treated to a new bit ot gossip. Her story was a remarkable one. She had been summoned by Presoott to the house of tho recluse, to find the pretended nurse, the real Ruth, In a dead faint, sho said. She extolled Presoott for his kindness to tho sufferer, as did the attendant physician Later, Paul Dalton had appeared, and b4 loft hurriedly. She returned to the stok-room to find the patient In a worse woon than before. She left her a few minutes to go to her own home. When she returned Rath Elliott had mysteriously disappeared. Ralfh Prescott llittod about town the next oy , apparently terribly anxious as to the whereabouts of the missing girl. an cranny circulated xne story that Paul Dalton had wedded Ruth only to gain her grandfather's fortune, and, securing that, would disappear; that he hod undoubtedly secretly removed her to some friend's home, away from the vllage. Farmer John Elliott heard all this gossip in silence, but with a lowering Drow. What was Buth to him now? What Puul Dalton? What cared he for their doings and intentions? They were strangers to him henceforth and for ever more! So several days passed by. The false Paul Dalton either kept closely to his room at the hotel, or did not appear in town at all. He visited Lawyer Drew several times, and tried to hurry up the settlement of the estate. Ho urged that no needed money to purchase some land to be had at a bargain, Ralph Prescott kept pretty clear track of his movements. Tho impostor sat awaiting his arrival early ono evening. AiTaira were about to materialize, tho schemers felt sanguine. The impostor was anxious to secure the money and e&cape, ero some new complication balked his projects. Ralph Prescott was determined to be on hand ut thp finish, and insist on a fair division of ' tho Illgotten booty of crime. The false Paul Dalton had grown terribly nervous of late. That thore was a mystery about his past history; that he might, if he would, explain many a dark passage in the life of the man he personated; that his own career had boen closely linked with that of the imprisoned man, Ralph Prescott was positive, but his new colleague in orafiiness refused to divulge his secrets. Tho latter had been a changed man s.ncc ho rooeived that warning missive, that menacing note that was signed "Isabel." He started at his own shadow; he rarely went out on the streets until after dark, and then his movements were uneasy and watchful. The man was haunted. He had bribed Ralph Pres'.'ott to silence; ho had closed the Hps of .Kuth Elliott, but there was another foe that he feared, and he alone realized why he so dreaded her. "She means what she says," he muttered concernedly, "but she has made no move yet has made no effort to appear. Oh! I must got the money. It will buy comfort, luxury in a foreign ellme it will place mo beyond the reach of tho law I fear. Why, Prescott! What Is the matter?" The man he had been waiting for had burst into the room abruptly. His face was ghastly, his manner agitated. "We are ruined!" he gasped incoherently. The impostor looked alarmed. "Speak, man!" he exclaimed; "something has happened?"' "Yes, the worst the very worst." groaned Prescott. "Not only will you have to fly, but I myself aB well, for now all my connection with this wretched affair will oorno out." "You mean " "The girl, Ruth!" " What of her Not dead?" "No. She has escaped." The impostor reeled where be stood, .19 from some terrible shock. "ImposHiblo!" he gaflpod. "It is true. You know tho night wo made our compact, I removed hor to the charge of a sordid old woman living in a secluded cabin In the forest?" "Yes." "She watched her, druggod her, ' held hor a olose captive. Two hours since I visited the place to sen if the girl was all right." "And found " "Hergono, and the old woman tied hand and foot near the open door. She said that a woman had appeared a little before, and had demanded to see her captive." " Which she refused. " "Promptly. The woman did not wait to argue with her. With a strength that was remarkable and effective she threw her down and bound her, unlocked the door of the room in which Ruth was confined, led her from the cabin, and disappeared. " "A woman!" muttered the impostor, with drawn brows, his anxious face growing white every moment. "Yes; dark-eyed, wiM-faoed, and having a scar under one eye " "Isabel!" groaned the Impostor. "She threatened -she meant it. " "And whfe 1b Isabel?" demanded ProBcott. "Ask mo no questions, but act," cried the other, excitedly. "Kuth Elliott is free. Her rescuer knows, or at least surmises, every delail of our plots, and ; is bound to haik thorn if possible. There la only one thing to do." i "What is it?" I "Secure the fortune." '

"If wt can,""We muW" But "I saw the lawyer this afternoon.

characterised my haste as unusual, bl the offer of a largo fee induced him te expedite matters, I signed some neeeeBury papers, and he said if he conld get certain securities from the bank this afternoon, he would close up the matter with me this evening. Come. " "Where?" "To Lawyer Drew's house." The impostor walked the street like a man who had just esoaped prison or was fearing arrest, with his apprehensive backward glances and hie cautious for ward ones. He did not impart all his suspicions to hie companion. Had he told Ralph Prescott all, the latter would have shrank from going on with plot in Wbioh a wronged woman's hand was yet to turn the die of deBtiny, They found Mr. Drew immersed in documents in his library, deep in tho lntri oaoies of business feinting to the case in hand. "Not too late she has not been here, at least!" breathid tho impostor, rellevodly. "I will be ready lor you in a moment, Mr, Dalton," spoke the lawyer. "I presented your papers in court, secured the necessary bondsmen, and as there is tho reulvy still left in my hands that would cover any possible future claim against a man who never coniracted any debts, I ,iiu justified in pajlng you over tho money Geoffrey Forsythe left you, only, I find it diffkmlt to convert nil tue securities into cash." "Well, give me what you can," interrupted the impostor, impatiently. "Oh, I have realized on nearly all the personal property," announced Drew. "Ere," and he hdnded over some re ceipts, "are some papers to sign." With feverish haste and a trembling hand the avaricious schemer signed the document tendered. "Here you will ilml over thirty thousand dollars of tho legacy," continued Lt.wyor Drew, extending a long pocketbook. "The residue you can call for or have sent you within a month." Littlo danger of his ever calling for it; once safe In foreign lands, he would be fully satisfied with the bulk of tho fortune, decided the eager Impostor. He took the we.Uet and counted over th a crisp bills it contained and stowed it in his pocket, watched with wolfish, suspicious eyes by Ralph Prescott. He bade the lawyer a hurried goodby, and hastened down the street with the urgency of a man bound on a mission of life and death. (TO BE CONTINUED. The Critical Moment. In a battle thera may be ono monwnt when victory depends upon the presence of the commander at the cr.tical point. Where, where wai Roderick then? Ono blast upon his bugle born 'Vure worth a thousand men. In the campaign of the French against the Austrians, in 1809, the safety of Napoleon's array made it necessary to take Ihe town of Ratisbon at any cost. The assault was intrusted to Marshal Lannes, who called for fifty volunteers to lead the assaulting party with scaling-ladders. So many volunteered for the dangerous duty that it was difficult to select the fifty. They advanced, and were all killed. Another party was called for, and they, too, were swept away by the enemy's tire. When the third call was made, no one volunteered for a duty which appeared to lead to certain death. There was an ominous silence throughout the ranks. "1 will show you," shouted Lannes, "Hint before I became a marshal I was a grenadier!" Seizing a ladder, he started with it toward the rampart. His aidi-de-camp tried to prevent him. One of them, General (then Captain) Marbot, whr tells the incident, said: "Monsieur le Marechal, you would not wish us to be dishonored; we should be so if you received tbe si g itcst wound in carrying the laddur. before every ono of your aid.s-di can p bad been killed.'' In spite of tbe marshal's efforts, tho aid snatched the ladder from him, placing one end on his shoulder while another aid carried the other end. T other aids by couples also took up ladi ers. The sight of a marshal of France dis uting with Ms aids who should first mount the breach roused the en tliudasm of the division. Officers and privates claimed the honor of mounting at the head of the assaulting column. i hey tried to push the aids aside, and to lay hold of the ladders. But the gallant staff persisted in leading the assault. By one of those strange ai dents of war, the storming-party reached the wall without the loss of a man. The wall was escaladed, und the town was carried with little loss. Value of a Passport. licnryW. Wolff, a traveler, had bee i wandering about Metz, asking questions and seeing the sights, and Ins says: Cn my return to tbe station I found a surprise awaiting me. The German police had found me out not a di ft cult task, since I purposely went alK)iit quite openly. However, that, it appeared, made no difference. Tb re, at the entrance to the station, stod a Prussian gendarme, all on the aleit,' and looking very ferocious. He was on the lookout for me, and stopped me at once. "lave you a legitimation about you?" he asked, gruffly. " Yes; but do I want one? Am I noti entitled to travel in Germany wit'nout a passport?" E!e looked angry, and eyed with disgust my "Murray," which bore all ti plainly upon its cover the title "France." " i must sec it. I hear you have bee n about the town looking at things ami asking many questions." ".It is strictly true; that is what I am traveling for." " .1 must see your passport." "What! In defiance of the Emperor's regulations?" lie drew himself up pompously. "Oo you not understand," said he, "that I must see your passport in order to be able to judge whether or not you are entitled to travel without one?"' Here was logic, but logic which, however feeble, must be heeded. I produced my passport, and after having studied it for a tedious interval, he gravely announced that I was flu,id to travel without one. The new direct process of making steel has been experimented upon at the Homestead Works of Carnegie Brothers with most satisfactory r3siilts, and although not yet entirely porl'ccted, has been sufficiently advanced to warrant the statement that its adoption will mark quits a change in the production of steel and in j'bs quality, as well as In the price oi the metal. If tho expectations of the company are realized, and they confidently expect they will be, there is likely to be a revolution in this lino of production, which will work to tho advautage of the consumer. How it will affect labor Is yet a question, although the workmen are rather disposed to look unfavorably uKju th innovation,

A SCENE OF CARNAGE. deadly riOt at Homestead, pennsylvania.

Ooats Having PlnkiTt m Men on llunrd Boinbariled with Ca nnon Oil I'oureil on the Stream and l!argc Sot ou I'lro Gov. Pattlson Appoalotl To Tor Aid, Plnhorton Men Repulsed. Homestead (Pa.) special: Carnegie's managers attempted to land Pinkerton men at the Homestead works oh Wednesday nornlng. The uttempt was resisted by tho locked-out men, and a battle with guns onsued, in which thirty-eight men arc roportod to have been killed and many more injured. Three hundred Flnkerton men armed with Winchesters vere brought from ANDREW CAUNEQ1R, Pittsburg in barges in the light of tho early morning. The strikers had been advised of their eoinlig, and had gathered with their friends to the numbor of 6,000 on the landing when tho barge arrived. The Pinkertons were advised from tho shore not to attempt landing. They persisted, and is ono of their number started down the gong plank he fired KEN CI : SUJUtOUNDJNG bis gun. The shot vai answered by the strikers, and a fusi lade ensued which lasted for half an ho jr. After the first fusillade the boats withdrew from the shore, and desultory firing was kept up on !oth sides for several hours. During this time the strikers secured a cannon, and, planting it on the opposite side of tho river, placed the guards between tvo fires. About 10 o'clock ihe men on the barges made another attempt to land, and a desperate battle followed, in which rifles In tho hands of the strikers and Pinkerton men in I tho cannon did terrible execution. W hile this fight was in progress the strikers poured oil into the river above the lwges and set it on fire. The boats were soon surrounded by flames, and caught fire in several places. The guards were unable to withstand this new .jlcment, and finally at 11 o'clock they w ere forced to withdraw and return to Pit tsburg. Host Gather for Detoufte. "They come. The Pinkertons are coming!" shouted a horseman riding at lightning speed as ho dashed into Homestead at 1 o'clock In the morning and alarmed the leaders of the strikers at their headquarters. The secret signals, long ago planned end arranged, woro set working and from both sides of the Monongahela River an jwering responses came. The story oi tic fall of Warsaw might be written age in. "To arms to protect our homes!" cried 3,000 strikers and nearly as many men, women and children. Slowly came the steamer Little Bill towing tr.ro modol barges loaded with 350 Pinko -ton coal and iron police, Winchester rif es and an abundance of ammunition. The soeno on shore was thrilling. Tho thousands of people were assembled on the bank jt the river on tho Homestead side. As tho boat moved up the crowd followed. It arrived opposite the big Carnegie mills, passed up and then backed down toward the landing. Fearless stalwarts, used to hardship, knew that the vessels wore approaching shore. The dook was fenced in to the river's edge; the invadors must be stopped. One leader cried, "Follow me," and, ruBhing to a part of the fonoo back from the river, attacked it. In a twinkling a breach was made -In "Fort Frick" and 8,500 people crowded through the property down to the river and stood waiting for the approaching boats. Before they penetrated tbe mist several volleys were fired, not at the vobboIb, but as a warning. Presently tho dark , hulls showed through tho white veil of fog and swung Into the 1 at ding. There was breathless silence. Like ants thousands of the sons of Vulcan t warmed the bank to the water's edgo. Capt. Hoinde, of tho Pinkertons, raised a plank from tho dook of the barge nearest the shore. One of his men also grasped the big board, and one end was shoved ashore. Then there was a st out as ut Hpartans at the Tiber. Ono man stepped ou tho plnnk and went ashore. He was grabbed by tho crowd and was seen no more. Captain Helndo followed. Ho had taken one step on tho plank when he fell with a shot in the leg. The men behind hint turned tiielr Winchesters on the crowd and like i whirring of bees were the volleys which passed. Twonty-U.ree Miot. Five Plnkorton rien fell, ono fatally shot through tho bend. Tho strikers i lost six killod and twolvo wounded, but ! tho boats were ropUsud and withdrew ! Into mid-stream, It was all over so quickly thut not until the boats returned to the shelter of the fog did tho strikers realize tho damage done their fellows, rvever more ; scintillating fire nliot from tho eyes of demons. Utterly reckless and frenzied the howitzers were ordered ready, and barrels of oil woro loaded on a barge, to be fired and Bent nguinst the boafci. Slowly the craft returned. The ililnir . was renewed and returned from the j boats, and again milliters of t he Htrifccra ' fell. Then oatno tho i?rand coup of tho tiikexs. The gun ot the little yacht ,

F.dnn wan turned against the craft and ono on shore belched its tiro upon its human fr ight. lllarliiK Oil Bent Down Stream. Finally oil was liberated from the barrels above by the men and was firod. Tho (lory track was not broad enough, and witl a little shifting the blazing stream passed harmlessly by. This failure to cause rotreat added to the anirer of tho strikers, and, towing their

scow iuto propor position, they broke in ! the heat of the burrels. fired the oil and cent the craft down on tho boats. The men now have complete possession of tho works, and unless Gov. Pattlson orders out troops they will continue tr possession, 'trot Vlbtory for Striken, The first battlo occurred about 4:30, when a :forco of about 300 Pinkerton men attempted to land nt the fcteel works. Tho strikers had beeri apprised ot their departure from Pittsburg, and for two hours before the boats arrived l etween 3,00ft and 8,0(10 persons hwalted their coming on the river banks, The mills have a landing for boats within '.ho IflcloBuro of tho fence, and at first It appeared that there would be no way to prevent the Pinkertons entering the mills. Shortly before the boatfi reached Homestead a horseman riding at full gallop spread the alarm that the Plnltertons were coming. As the boats steamed toward tho landing It was inivossiblo to longer restrain the crowd. With a whoop and a yell of derision ai onslaught was made on the fonco and Kill foot of tho Inolosure was torn awy and 1,000 men were at the landing. As tho Pinkertons landed they opened fire and two workmen dropped in their tracks. This onraged the crowd, anil they bore down upon the Pliikortcns wlthj-eslstless force, driving then, back to tnc boats. A ten-pound cannon has been planted In the main entrance to the mill. The situation Is now quiet, though the battle Is likely to be renewed at any moment. Gov. Pattlson has been appealed to for aid, and thj Stale militia will probably be lient to the scene at once. The Hltuallon. Capital and labor arc arrayed against oaoh other at Homestead, and the outcome of the conflict will be awaited with i interest by ail who realize the imporTHE CAHNKGIK WOKK3. tance of tbe social probloms ot the day. Because of tho magnitude of the works where the issue is made and of the tens of t housands who will be at once affected, the prens of tho country is devoting special attention to the affair and its features are made clear enough to all. The Carnegie Steel Company offers to its employes a certain scale of wages. The scale offered is refused by the managers ot the Amalgamated Association, the great trade union organization to wbioh the workers belong, and operations of the company are virt ually suspended. A fence surrounds the company's property and inside this Is placed a guard of those wh im the company relies up n. In addition to this other barricades have been erected to resist tho riolrs. Meanwhile thousands of men, tie workers who have rejected the scale of wages offered, have ocouMAS.lOEIl HENOV C pied the country about tho mills and prevent all access to the properly. JJvfttiise at the Stool Works. Abou ; sis weeks ago, in anticipation of tho coming eonfliot between the Carnegie Interests and the workmen, a stout board fence twelve feet high was built upon a foundation of slag three feet high, completely surrounding the steelworks. This fence is three miles long. On the top are strung three strands of barbed wire, so connoeted that a current of electricity may be sent through them from the elftctrlo plant by the simple turning of a switch in the ofllco. Portholes fcur inches in diameter have been bored a ong this fence at the height of a man's ;yo. Trenches have been dug over all parts of the works to various points ilong the fence where hydrants are stationed. Connections have been made so that either cold or boiling hot water c in be sent through thoso pipes to tho hydrants. An ailditional fence has been built about the office, and a bridge forty foet high hits been strung across the tracks, connecting tho office with a building insido the works. A search light has boon placed upon this bridge, and also a sentry aox. Ou tho rlvor front the Carnegie stool launch Annie has been fitted out as a warship, with swivel guns, ard several fiatboau have been equipped with small howit zers and search lights. Stopping Elocttie locomotive. Although it has hitherto been possible to stop an electriccar quickly, the reversal of the current which the action necessitated resulted In a considerable waste and caused a tendency to burn out tho motors. A now method of accomplishing the stoppage has been devised. The new motors of a Cir are so connected that the electro motive force of each under the rotation imparted by the forward movement of the car opposes that ol the otier, and tends to produce a current in such a direction as to increase its own field magnetism and cut down that of the other. The car will thus he checked or brought to a sudden stop if running rapidly, aud if on a heavy grade will creep slowly down without taking current from the supply wire and without having the brakes set. A Sound Recommendation. A most important feature of tho sclentiic instruction in the lower grade of schools should be the collection of specimens which should form the subject of object lessons. Scientific American. A student of Amherst College discovers by reading Thueydides thut tho grip was more violent and frequently fatal in Grooeo 470 years B. C. than among us to-day. Tho book describes tho symptoms minutely, and mentions mental depression as one of Its most charaoioritttie features. Thk tjueen Kegent of Spain refuses to toucii a penny of tho $100,000 a year jointure to which, as tho widow of the late Ki;ag, ahe is entitled,.

Wonderful Inneol. Vitality. It is a standing puzzle to ihe entomoloftsts how frail littlo Insects of the mosquito and butterfly order et.n brave the cold of the Arctic winter and vet retain thalr vitality. The larvss of tho milkweed butterfly havo been exposed to an artificial blast 68 degrees below zero. Taken out ot range of this artificial blizzard and gradually "thawed out," this same worm was able to creep In less than half ah' hour afterwards. Butterflies have been found flitting joyously about in tbe highest latitude man has ever penetrated, aud the mosquitoes of Alaska and Greenland are known to be the healthiest specimens ol that race of little pests.

A Belfast newspaper says that a snake seven and a half feet long and nearly seven inches in circumference has been killed at Nora's Glen. It was taken to a contractor's yard In the town, where the reptile was ins pected by a large number of people. The solitary snake ot Ireland will be preserved in a glass case for the Inspection of future generations.
