The tiro whs discovered In hi v fore hold an hour or two only Hftor sip loft the Mersey. There was a st'.ong broozo, and sho wns headed for tin- Welsh otmst. Hy some unlucky accident nn anchor was dropped, nnil the big ship wet brought rip U standing head to tho Wind. The flames came roaring nf:. rhere' iitH) passengers aiul crew were crowded. A Hnizlllnn frigate, a yacht ami a pilot boat were near, but they only At tempted to pick up those who jumped and swam. Suddenly up came an A'"oriean clipper and rounded Into the wind barely 2d0 yards away. In her first Iniat was Frederick Jerome, only d r.ble seaman, but one of the bravoM aoainen that ever lived. In a flash his best was alongside the burning ship, and he climbed on deck amid the scorch and smother. There he stayed until the last soul of t00 was savcti. His clothes were on fire seven separate times, and be was scorched almost be yond recognition. His only reward was the modal of the American llu mtr.e society. IYarson'g. The Zodiacal Llartat. The name of "zodiacal light" has been given to a singular- appearance frequently witnessed soon after suns-t or just before sunrise. It may be s.vn at nil seasons of the year In low latl tiidrs and Is obviously due to illumi ne ted matter surrounding the sun in a very flat or lenticular form, nearly co inciding with the plane of the ecliptic, or, rather, with the sun's equator. The attention of astronomers was first di rected to It In the year KVS3 by Cassini and was long regarded ns being the sun's atmosphere. This Idea, it is now thought. Is incorrect it being generally bIleved at the present time to consist of an Immense assemblage of rocks, ssr.d, eosmienl dust, fragments of met al, etc., such as the earth is continual ly encountering in the form of aerolUes or meteorites. It may not be out of place to mention in this connection that the rings of Saturn are believed to be composed of similar materials. The Deeadeore.

The effect of movements In the ether depends upon the rapidity of the vibra tions producing them. The unit of measurement for short waves In the ether is the blcron, which is about one twenty-five millionth of an inch. Waves measuring 3-SO to 810 blcrons affect our sense of Bight, the former number giv ing violet and the latter red color. The invisible rays, to which the actinic and Eoen'gen rays belong, are shorter an! have been measured as short as 1"0 bicrons. Ether waves longer than those giving light give the feeling of warmth. The longest heat waves are eight times the length of those of the red rays, or one three hundred and fif tieth of an inch. Medical Perlla. In Baluchistan when a physician gives a dose he is expected to pari ale? of a similar one himself as a guarantor of his good faith. Should the patient die under his hands the relatives, though they rarely exercise it, have the right of putting him to death unless a spe ciul agreement has been, made freiin;; him from all responsibility as to con-e-Cjtiences, while If they should decide upon immolating him he is fully ex pected to yield to his fate like a man. Willing to Compromise. Mamnri Oh, you bad boy! Where have you been all this time? Don't you think you should be ashamed to worry your mother so? The Boy Well, ma, I'm wlllln' to be ashamed that I worried you if you'll promise not to tell pa anything that 'II worry me. Boston Journal. Willing- He Should Smoke.

The Columbia Kiver Seen from a "Regulator Line Exeursioi Steamer." It is a custom to apply fanciful titles to American rivers, mountains and lakes in simile to those of other countries. Thus 1 we bear of "The American Rhine," The Switzerland of America," "The American Alps," and so on, and here on the magnificent Columbia River, in all its wealth of scenery, we may find an other Rhine. The towering snow-caped mountains, gorges, ravines, water-falls and even cataracts duplicate and even excel the famous scenery of Switzerland, and (or the desire of being able to say When 1 was abroad thousands of Americana are williDg to be ignorant of i heir own country in not seeing some of the finest scenery of the world aaia here on the Columbia. In a tour of the West it ia the thing to do, and the one thing not to be missed the voyage on the Columbia river be tween Portland and The Dalles that ia made in one day's daylight on board of the splendid boats of the Regulator Line. and the people of Oregon and Washing ton should make it a point to remind their friends that are coming from the Last not to miss making a trip on this beautiful river. Your ardent admirer makes the trip up and down both ways, on the boats, as it gives opportunity to pay leisurely attention to both hides of the river and for the views ahead on the going and le turning voyage. But the man in a hurry may go up on the boat, returning by rail, or vice versa, or the passengers went bound may leave the train at The Dalles and go down the Columbia rivei by boat to Portland. lhe Regulator Line palatial excursion steamer "Bailey Gatzert leives Port- and every morning (except Monday) at 8:50 to Cascade Locks and return, right in the heart of the Cascade Mountains, affording an excellent one day trip to view the magnificent scenery and also enjoy the exhilarating ride through the famous rapids of the Cascades, returning arrive in Portland about 7 P.

The union employe, which In clude the men In the orchestra, the stage hands, proiorty men and stage carpenters, are paid, as their union rog tilhiions demand, on Saturday night. The actors, who have no union, are not paid until Tuesday, although their eel; ends on Saturday with the night's per formance. Their salaries are held vi two days merely to Insure their roup lusirauce at the theuter ou Monday.

About a century ago an artist named Cranch was standing one day In front of a fire In his home at Axiuliister Over the fireplace wan an oaken man telplece, and It occurred to Cranch that this expanse of wood might be Im proved by a little ornamentation. picked up the poker, heated It red hot I and begatl to sketch In a bold design. The result pleased lilm so much th .t he elaborated his work and began to at tempt other fire pictures on panels of wood. These met with a ready sale. and Crunch soon gave all his time t.: his new art. This was the beginning of whnt Is now known as pyrography The poker artist of today uses many different shaped tools and has a Sxvl:!l furnace in which they are kept heated. The art has been elaborated greatly. The knots, curls and fliers of the wood are often worked Into the dcolgn ami delicate tlutlug produced by scorching the panel. Care For the Talkies llalilj. One part horse sense and two parts of manly determination to keep still. Mix well with an unlimited amount of the best quality of thought. It la Iiun slble for a woman to talk all the time without saying a lot of things that sho shouldn't or without proving a Jolly bore to everytody about her. This tat tling habit Is not confined entirely to women, though. Some men have the a flllctlon terribly. Sometimes it's wheat, sometimes It's chess, some tluiea it's baseball. A steady diet of one kind conversation la always tire some. Take a nibble of this and a nibble of that, and your chatter will be more Interesting, particularly If there are plenty of rests between nibbles. Talking Improves when there's silence by way of contrast Philadelphia In quirer. Ueaaeat Trader Ia the World. There is a colony of Syrian merchants in Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, who could give cards and spades even to the bland Chinaman "for ways tlflit are dark and tricks that nre vain." They take one match out of every box they sell until they have enough mutch es to fill another box and so make an extra cent. They shave tiny tlnkes o:T cukes of soap and boll UiVin dowu to make other cakes. They put a thin layer of molasses on the bottom of the scoop with which they serve rice so that a few grains will stick to the bot tom. These nre only a few of their thousand tricks to turn a dishonest penny. Without doubt they are the meanest traders in the world. How riaata Henialn l'prlaht.
