Anil In the room the woman Suey Yep was taking part with the little J-oe Moy In what was evidently a dally occurrence. With palms folded suppllantly before her, she regarded Lee Moy with a look of Inexpressible love tinged with sad new. He was hitting wildly about him with a toy whip, ami shouting angrily, his language being punctuated by strong Anglo-Saxon expletives. "D n you, mother! Why coinuth not tho stiiiV" She submitted with the patience of an Oriental to the Imperious lauguage of my lord, her Man-Child. "Oh, son of mine," she replied, with Infinite tenderness; "the sun Is still at I'ekln, drying his hair for he hath but now risen from hl.s ocean bed. When he hath had his morning meal, and washed his face with dew and decked himself with marigolds, he will mount clouds of purple and gold and amber and come to San Francisco." "Do they of I'ekln see more of him Until we do 7" "Yes, son oh, would wo were there!" she sobbed; "for the sun always shines there, but here It Ih mostly dark." "We will go there, mother, at once!" He held up his hand for his mother to take. "Hut It Is a long and stony road from here to I'ekln, and we must eat and drink before we start." She led him to a little table, and set cakes before him, and a cup of tea which she fortllled with a generous draught of sain slm. When he had satisfied his appetite she prepared him another cup similarly sophisticated and set It before lilm. "Drink once more," she said, "for when we have left San Francisco we shall have no more tchah (tea) till we reach I'ekln." And the little man drank as he was directed, nnd prepared for his dally llight across the world. Llpplncott's Magazine. (Iokm tariled the echoed of the wooded hills. Pconle In the valleys heard the repeated signaling, but their listening cars could dltulngulHli nothing to Indi cate the success of the hunters. High up on the eastern slope of the mountain was the Andrews homestead, which comprised an ordinary sixty-acre lot, with the farm buildings erected n Mr. Andrews. The settler had died a year or two previously, and the work devolved upon .lerry, n boy of l.r. sturdy and freckle-faced, and somewhat large for IiIh years. Jerry had not gone out with the hunters, the sowing of a piece of rye compelling him to remain at home. The pioneer boy was destined, how ever, to meet with an adventure much more exciting than any that befell the hunters. Jerry finished sowing his rye late In the afternoon, and as the snu was still nn hour or two high he went across lots to visit several traps he had net for mink In the upper pasture. He exam ined his traps, Hutting nn Imprisoned mink In one, ami started homeward Just as the dusk was beginning to creep down tho mountain. He directed his steps through the low er pasture, wherein was Inclosed the farm toek, they having been shut off from ranging the higher pasture since the depredations of Hruln had beconio so nKvmlng. II ft'ould hear the familiar tlnk-n-llng of the cow bell iih ho hurried in search of the cattle In tho thickening gloom Ho found them grouped In a bunch, tossing their horns and acting In n Btrango nianner. Jerry's llrst thought was of the presence of a bear, and ho hurriedly looked over the herd to see If any were missing. To his dismay he could not find a favorlto yearling. Jerry was no coward, but lie had no weapon with him, nor anything that would answer for ono except the heavy loo which ho had used to dig around the stumps In the rye Held. With this l hand, ho started off in search of tho heifer. Ho tried to think that perhaps tho crcaturo had wandered nway by her self, and this Idea wus strengthened when ho found some trucks which he thought were hens near n piece of marshy ground that bordered the woods. Tho tracks led dlrectlv Into the forest, nnd the pioneer lad, thlnklnc only of discovering tho missing yenr- It wtiH ho dark that he could not sec obJeclH distinctly, ami tho darknesi was rapidly Increasing; but Jerry hur ried on over rocks and logs and through brlem and brakes. Suddenly he panned, but only for a moment. There, not ten feet from him, by the side of a fallen tree, wiih a (lark object that he took U. lie the wandering heifer, impatient at the Hteps she had caused lilm. the boy rushed forward and struck the reclin ing iiiilmal a sharp blow upon tho ribs with the hoe. liiHtiintly there was a low, surlj growl, and there rose up to confront tin lad, not the missing heifer, hut the tall menacing form of a huge black bear whoso Jaws were all buHiiieared with blood. To say that Jerry was startled would bo putting It mildly. He was scared he could feel his hair stiffen under lib ragged fur cap, ami his legs trembled beneath lilm. Hut he had the pluck of a Yankee boy, and lie was Indignant at the lo4s of his favorite yearling. Step plug back a pace or two, he leveled hit lieavy hoe full at the black, blood stained inii..le. and truck with all lilt might. Hut the bear warded It as dex terously as a boxer might, and the next moment Jerry felt his weapon snatched from hit grasp. The pioneer lad now thought dl.tcre tlou the better part of valor, and mak ing out a low bough before him he Helzed hold of It and swung himself uj: Into the tree. He hoped the bear would not follow lilm, but he was disappoint ed. With a sort of a snort and a growl the enraged beast crawled to the trunk and began slowly to climb the tree. As It happened, the tree was an Im mense oak. and Jerry hurriedly clam bored to the topmost branch, where clinging to the fork of a limb, he await ed the approach of his enemy. The bear worked his way up anions the branches with the skill of a salloi In the shrouds. He seemed determined In his advances, ami Jerry began tc edge off as far as he dared, for the llinl to which he was clinging began to bend under his weight. Hruln crawled near er and nearer. Jerry scarcely dared to breathe. He had a huge Jackknlfe in ills pocket that the village blacksmith at "the corners" had made for him that very season, fot the In skinning minks and inuskrnts.

At 2,500 fathoms the pressure is 30 times more powerful than the steam pressure of a locomotive when drawing a train. As late ns 1880 a leading zoologist explained the exist ence of deep-sea animals at such depths by assuming that their bodies were composed of solids and liquids of groat density, and contained no air. Tills, however, Is not the case with deep-sea fish, which are provided with alr-ln-ilated swimming bladders. If one of these fish, in full cunse after its prey, happens to ascend beyond a certain level, Its bladder becomes distended with tho decreased pressure, and car ries It In spite of its efforts, still higher lu Its course; in fact, members of this unfortunate class are liable to hecomo victims to the unusual accident of falling upward, and no doubt meet with a violent death soon after leav lug their accustomed level, and long before their bodies reach the surface In a distorted and unnatural state.

It was then decided to use a proxy, and Miss Van Zandt was mar ried to Chris Spies, acting for ins brother. The girl continued her visits to tho jail, and used every endeavor to save her proxy husband's life.

The narcotic effect of government employment Is notorious, explains an Eastern newspaper writer, but, as In other caws, the victim of the sedative habit does not believe and cannot real ize Its power until It Is too late There Is a certain fascination to the, old nnd hiirdened to watch the young struggle against their fate.

Some of their organs have undergone considerable modification in correspondence to the changed conditions of their new hab itats. Thus down to 000 fathoms their eyes have generally become enlarged, to make the best of the faint light which may possibly penetrate there. After 1,000 fathoms these organs are still further enlarged or so greatly re duced that in some species they disap pear altogether, and are replaced by enormously long feelers. Tlie only light at great depths which would en able large eyes to be of any service Is the phosphorescence of deep-sea ani mals, i We know that at the surface this light Is often very powerful, and Sir Wyvllle Thomson has recorded one occasion on whicli the sea at night was "a perfect blaze of phosphores cence, so strong that lights and shad ows were thrown on the sails, and It was easy to read the smallest print" It Is thought possible by several nat uralists that certain portions of the sea bottom may be as brilliantly Il lumined by this sort of light as tho streets of a European city after sunset. Some deep-sea fish have two parallel rows of small circular phosphorescent organs running along the whole length of their bodies, and as they glide,, through tho dark waters of the " md abysses they must 10UQ1 snips wmi rows ui suwj. les.
