PRANCE TO AMERICA.

yUL.ESleadingFrance,

MASSENET,

the composer of who has decided to oome to America and epend the remainder of his life, is the successor of Gounod and Ambroise Thomas, and is, Indeed, a pupil of the latter named

master. He is principally known for his operas, the chief of which "Manon," is familar to lovers of grand opera in America. With Massenet permanently residing in the United States Americans will have the advantage of his personal leadership in the production of his operas. Tender and melodious as is "Manon," it does not greatly overshadow his other operas in grandeur and tenderness. His versatility is shown plentifully in "Roi do Lahore," "Le Mage" and "L«a Cid." In addition to the works mentioned above Massenet has written the cantatas csalled "Eve, a Mystery," "Mary Magdelene" and "The Virgin." Massenet's forte is in the musical protrayal of passion, and the salient quality of his operatic works appears in his religious music, which Is of the ecstatic kind. Massenet at 11 entered the conservatory under Bazln, who advised him to stop the study of music and dismissed him from the class. A few years later Reber thought so well of him as to commend him to Thomas. In 1863 ha took the prize in counterpoint and fugue and was sent abroad by the government as a reward. The acquisition of 'Massenet to the musical leaders of

the United States will be a distinct gain for American art. The great French composer ibelieves that America will develop a school of music peculiarly its own.

a-vf CERTAIN DELUSIONS.

Qnall'tte* for Conducting a Great Baal•Mi.

The word "capitalist" is simgly another word for the man who saves and who finds out what the public will buy, says the Atlantic Monthly. This .faculty for saving and for finding out what the public wants is a rare faculty. It is so rare that I believe reliable statistics prove that 95 per cent of men ill business—that is, of men who employ others—faiL They fail through their incapacity or want of diligence.

Only an infinitesimally small number of them achieve fortune. They may be called the explorers of the race. We profit by their errors. For one who invents a sewing machine or a telephone, 10,000 lapse into poverty.

Nothing requires a mare delicate combination of qualities than the creation and conduct of a great business. The conditions of success are often too minute for observation. The life is full of terrible anxieties, especially in what is called "hard times," when money is difficult to get. The penalty of failure is tremendous, and yet the number of us who are ready to tell the capitalist how to carry on his business, how to pay his men, whom to employ and on what terms is very large. If those who can carry on business themselves were only one-thou-sandth part as numerous as those who can tell how it ought to be carried on by others the happiness of man would be well assured.

Population of Johannesburg* Particulars of a census of Johannesburg, taken in July last have come to hand with the latest South African mail. The study of these will help to throw light on the problems of the republican government there. It is now a town of over 100,000 inhabitants, 61,000 of them Europeans and whites. The majority of the whites—well over 16,000—are people born in the United Kingdom a little over 15,000 are natives of Cape Colony.

Only 6,200 were born in the Transvaal this is nearly the number of children in the city of five years of age or under. But it is a city now of nearly twelve thousand children under ten. The Europeans ufider fifteen are 13,391, and the director of census says of them: "I much regret to say that 6,992 were returned as unable to read or -write, and not classified as undergoing instruction." Among 25,00 Europeans over sixteen there are 23,500 who have no vote.

Camphor as a Barometer.

A piece of camphor gum is a very good indicator of what the weather is going to be. If, when the camphor ia exposed to the air, the gum remains dry, the weather will be fresh and dry, hut if the gum absorbs the moisture and seams damp, it Is ao Indication of rata.

HOW, OLD 18 NIAOARAT

About 30,000 Tear* I* the Scientific Estimate.

The Niagara River, which had first been a strait joining Lake Erie to the Ontarian gulf, gradually became a wide, shallow, rapid stream, and then, as the waters ot the lower lakes subBided, its bed narrowed and its fall increased to 420 feet, says Knowledge. But the river was soon greatly enlarged. The land was rising to the north of Ontario as well, and ultimately the outlet from Lake Huron to the Ottawa Valley was blocked, and the surplus waters of these greatest lakes flowed by their present course to Lake ETie, and thence to the Niagara River. With the continued rise of land, especially toward the east of Ontario, the water level rose until it attained Its present elevation, and the fall of the river between the two lakes was reduced to the present 360 feet. Can dates be assigned to thes events? The first estimate of the age of Niagara River was given by Ellicott over a century ago at 55,400 years Blakewell, 1830, gave 12,000 Lyell's estimate of 35,000 was accepted for many years after 1841, but recent writers, using the mean rates of recession during fortyeight years as determined by suryeys. make the value 9,000 years. Dr. Spencer has made a new and careful computation of the age of Niagara River and falls. He shows that the recent estimates have not taken into account the various changes that have occurred in the fall and volume of the river. His calculations result in a value nearly that of Lyell's.

Dr. Spencer believes that Niagara River was formed 32,000 years ago, and that 1,000 years later the falls were in existence. For 17,200 years their height was about 200 feet thereafter the water fell 420 feet. Seven thousand eight hundred years ago the drainage of Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron first flowed through the Niagara gorge, and 3,000 years agp 3he waters rose in Lake Ontario wtll the level reached that of today. T&e falls, then, are 31,000 years old This estimate, calculated from the rate ot erosion, ia confirmed by another made from the terrestlal movements—one as to the past, the other concerning the future. The lakes came Into existence after the glacial epoch and Niagara after the lakes, and calculations based on the mean rate of rise of the beaches in the earlier period of the lakes' history show that the close of the ice age may safely be placed at 50,000 years ago, As to the future: With the present rate of calculated terrestlal uplift in the Niagara district, and the rate of recession of the falls continued, or even doubled, before the cataract shall have reached the Devonian escarpment at Buffalo, that limestone barrier shall have been raised so high as to turn the waters of the upper lakes into the Mississippi drainage by way of Chicago. An elevation of sixty feet at the outlet of Lake Erie would bring the rocky floor of the channel as high as the Chicago divide, and an elevation of seventy feet would completely divert the drainage. This would require 5,000 to 6,000 years at the estimated rate of terrestrial elevation.

Lo»« on the Roof.

They have good times, those girls in Somebody's bookbindery establishment, half way between Center street and Park row.

Every pleasant noon, after eating their frugal lunches, they climb to the roof and engage in the merriest kind of romp. Games of tag are played and hide and seek ambng the chimneys and "ring around a rosy" and other games known to the youthful mind. Sometimes they have a dance, and once the watchers from the high office buildings surrounding saw that the girls had an organ grinder on the roof to play the measures for their aerial tripping of the light fantastic, as the country editors have it.

Once in awhile some of the young men employed in the establishment get on the roof, too. When this happens the fun grows uproarious. The games of tag have spicy additions to them, and many a battle for a kiss is hard fought and won behind a chimney "which protects the contestants from the gaze of their fellows on the roof, but not from the delighted observers in other buildings, to whom these friendly scuffles are almost as pleasant as if they were engaged in them themselves.— New York World.

Where Quixote Was Knighted.

The ruins were of an important venta, such a caravanserai as was found every few leagues when all traveling and traffic between Madrid and Seville passed on the royal highway, says Scribner's. Should the Ingenious surmises of the learned, who have industriously erected the ponderous commentaries around Cervantes' romance, be true, this venta had the rare good fortune of being visited by Don Quixote In the beginning of his wanderings. He kept his night vigil-at-arms in its courtyard and on the morning following was by the rowdy, canny innkeeper made a knight. To me let it be bnly what it surely is, and that is enough: One of the rare pages of th6 days of old—the mute witness of the comedies and tragedies of the pleasures and troubles of some of our predecessors in the human orocessian.

We were playing "tn(Jle Tom's Cabin" to good Mtases when tke treasurer shipped opt Vnd left us stranded with the bloodhounds. 6eoond Thespian—Why didn't ysu put the blood-hounds on the trail of the treasurer? pHist Thespian—We did. But whsn they caught him I'm blamed If he didn't take them and start another show.—
