It Wua liottur That Ther Should 1 lud It
Out iu Time.
They had been etiKUgod a week.
Together they ba4 been to see "Little
Lord rauntleroy, and were returning
to Jirookiyn on a Hridge train. Wben
the train stopped Angelina got up and
walked to the front of the car, think
ing that Algernon was close behind.
Algernon walked to the rear door,
thinking Angelina was tripping along
at his elbow. Two blank faces, a
hasty search and a meeting on the
platform.
"I thought, Algernon, tbatof course
you would follow me!"
"And I thought, Angelina, that of
course you would follow me!"
Both fell to meditating us they
walked down the passageway and took
a King County elevated train. When
Vanderbilt aveuue was passed Angelina
at last broke the silence.
"Perhaps Algernon we we
might not agree. Don't you think
you had better tako it back?" and the
pulled a dainty little ring from her
finger.
Algernon hesitated. The train be-
gau to slacken speed for Franklin
avenue. . Then he took the ring in an
absent-minded way as they both aroHe.
It s so tnueli better," Angelina
added, softly, "that we should find out
in time," and they disappeared
through the door. N. X. Tribune.
THE RINGS OF SATURN.
Fret Darwin Eiplaln. Haw They AM
Viewed by Helanoe To-day.
It has been thown by several lines of
Investigation that Saturn's rings consist
of independent meteorites, moving.
sach in its orbit, about the planet, and
this conclusion may be safely accepted
u correct Hut every field of thought
Is now seething with the evolutionary
ferment, and as we can not rest satis
fied with any conclusion as a finality,
we here merely find ourselves at the
starting point of new speculations.
What, then, is the history of these
rings, and what their future fate?
They are clearly intimately related to
the planet, and their history would be
complete if we could with the mind's
eye watch their birth from the planet
and follow their subsequent changes.
Now although the details of such a his
tory are obscure, yet at least a shadowy
outline of it may be confidently ac
cepted as known.
In the remote pas1; all the matter
which now forms the Saturnian system
of planet, satellites and rings was far
more diffused than at present. There
was probably a nucleus of denser mat
ter round which slowly revolved a mass
of rarefied gases and meteorites. The
central portion was intensely hot, with
heat derived by condensation from a
state of still greater dispersion.
As this nebula cooled it contracted,
and therefore revolved more quickly.
If you watch the water emptying itself
from a common wash-hand basin when
the plug at the bottom is removed, you
will see an example of such quickened
rotation. When the basin is full, the
water 1b commonly revolving slowly in
one or the other direction, but as the
level falls and the water approaches
the hole, it spins more quickly, and the
last drops are seen to whirl around
with violence.
The revolving nebula is flattened at
the poles like an orange, and the
amount of flattening increases as it
contracts and spins quicker. At a cer
tain stage it can no longer subsist la a
continuous mass, and an annular portion
is detached from the equator, leaving
the central ball to continue its contrac
tion. '
We are pretty safe in saying that
the rings of Saturn took their origin in
some such mode as this. But it can
not be maintained that we understand
it all, for we have not more than a
vague picture of the primitive nebula,
and the mode in which the matter aggre
gated itself into a ring and detached It
self Is obscure. M. Roche has done per
haps more than any one else to impart
mathematical precision to these ideas,
but even ho has not been wholly euo
Ct8ful.
This theory, commonly called the
nebular hypothesis, was advanced in
dependently both by the philosopher
Kant and by Laplace. Various mod
ifllcations have been suggested by oth
ers, but the theory, in whatever form,
is replete with ditllculties, and must at
present be only regarded as an ap
proximation to the truth.
If the past history of the ring is not
wholly clear, it is at least more ascer
tainable than its future development
It is nearly certain that the ring now
presents a markedly different appear
aneo from that which was seen by its
discoverers. Indeed the only doubt
lies in the uncsrlainty as to the amount
of allowance which must bo made for
difference of observers aud of instru
ments. Iluygetis described the inter
val between the bright ring and tbo
planet as rather exceeding the width of
the ring, but this is now flagrantly in
correct. It is improbable that Huy-
gens was im.'orrect, although, on the
other hand, by the mostdo.'ieittemicro
motrlc measurements Struve has been
unable to delect any change in an in
terval of thirty years of this contury.
We may call to mind that Maxwell
showed that a spreading of the rings
both outward and inward was athoret
ical result of the inevitable impacts be
tween the constituent meteorites,
which he. used to describe as a shower
of brickbats. Thus, whether or not
the immense changes suspected since
1659 are true, it remains almost certain
that changes of this kind are in prog
ress. I venture, then, to hazard a few
words of speculation as to the future of
the rings. The outward spreading
will tn time carry many meteorites be
yond Roche's limit; here there will no
longer be an obstacle to aggregation
into a celestial body, such aggregation
will probably ensue, and a ninth satel
lite will bo formed. The inward
spreading will in time carry the me-
teonies to lue limits of baiuru s nunos
phere. whore, heated by friction as
they rush through the air, they will
dislntregate and fall on to the planet as
dust After a time, of which no esti
mate can be formed, the ring will have
vanished, leaving the ninth satellite
as its descendant But it must be ad'
mltted that all this is highly specula
tive, and we enn only hope that further
Investigations will give us firmer
grounds for a forecast Prof. George
Uoward Darwin, in Harper's Magazine,
INDUSTRIOUS MEXICANS.
Am American'! Vl.lt to a, Co-operatl TO-
lege Naar OH.aba.
While stopping at Orizaba, Mexico. 1
heard that there was a village near the
city which was run on the co-operative
plan, and I visited it to ascertain the
effects of co-operation in practice in
stead of theory. Tenango, the co-opera
tive village, is located in a little "V"
shaped niche in the angle where two
mountains join. It faces the south and
is as pretty a spot as could have been
found in Mexico for a co-operative
colony. The population of the village
consists of a small tribe of Indians,
probably four or five hundred in num
ber, who annually choose an Alcalde
and Ayuntamlento, or chief magistrate
and council to receive and disburse all
moneys received from the products ol
the village and look after the general
welfare of the place. These officials.
like the more common members of the
community, wear cotton suits, which
are made by their wives, and probably
cost about one dollar, leather sandals,
and cheap sombreros, and work the
same as those who hold no office.
A small church is located in the
center of the village, and a jolly,
round-faced padre or priest who
is supported out of the funds
of the community, ministers to the
spiritual wants of the villagers. The
village was in a fair sanitary condition.
considered from a Mexican point of
view, and the people appeared con
tented and happy. The principal prod
ucts of the village are coffee, lemons,
oranges, bananas and vegetables, and
these, along with corn, furnish a good
portion of the provisions on which the
people subsist . The coffee raised is far
in excess of the amount necessary for
home consumption, and tbe surplus
when sold brings in much more than
enough money to clothe the people,
thus leaving a snug amount in the
treasury. There appeared to be no
dr les in the village, and during the
time when the help of all was not re
quired in the village those who had
idle time improved it by going up on
the mountains and burning charcoal
and hewing out boards or planks and
taking them to Orizaba to sell. This
industrious disposition on the part of
the co-operators caused enough money
to flow into the treasury to enable the
Alcade to deal out a liberal portion to
each one and still keep an emergency
fund In the treasury. The only thing
which I saw to give me a bad impres
sion of the village was the condition in
which every one who had been to mar
ket, returned. An ordinary Mexican
can get pretty drunk and enjoy him
self, but when a Tenango co-operator
comes homo from market it can be
safely calculated that he is drunker
than anybody, can yell louder than
anybody, and can lick anybody between
the ages of eight and eighty, and will
get satisfaction by pounding his poor
burro if he can find no cause to pound
one of his neighbors. Cor. Chicago

MADE OF A SKULL.
A New York Country Kdltor'a Unique Dot
4li.tly I'lpe.
Byron wrote lines to a drlnking-cup
formed of a skull, but it remained for
the original mind of a newspaper man
to conceive the idea of making a dead
skull breathe by turning the dome of
thought into a tobacco-pipe. If you
enter the private office of the assistant
editor of a newspaper in a village not
far from this city, you see a young man
sitting at a desk, writing and smoking.
This commonplace sight is made one
of horror by the fact that the pipe is
made of a human skull. It sits on the
table a couple of feet from the editor,
and Is connected with his mouth by a
rubber tube which enters the head
through the cavity which once con
tained an eye. From the cracks in the
skull smok'J slowly issues and some
times for a moment a vivid spnrk of
fire gleams where the light of love or
the fires of hate used to burn. Listen,
and from the skull comes sounds that
resemble gurgling of blood. The man
who called the apparatus an 'Infer
nal thing'' spoke with more truth than
he at first intended. Only the
more intimate associates of the editor
remain long in his sanctum, and few of
them have any desire to form a closer
acquaintance with the pipe, while only
one or two persons have had the nerve
to use it A surgon borrowed the pipe
one night and made the rounds of the
hotels, smoking it, much to the hor
ror of the guests and bar-room habi
tues. The mechanism of the pipe is
simple, and precisely the same as that
of the chemists, "wash-bottle." It is
exposed by removing the top of the
skull. The pipe-bowl is placed on one
side of the place occupied in the natur
al state by the middle lobe of the brain.
A rubber tube goes from it into a bot
tle containing water, which rests in
the deepest part of the skull, by the
side of the orifice, through which the
spinal cord enters the cranial cavity.
Another rubber tube goes from the
bottle to the mouth of the smoker.
DThe editor says he prefers smoking
his skull to the best meerschaum. The
smoke is cool and considerable nico
tine is removed from it by the water in
the bottle, through which the smoke
passes and which has to be changed
dally. The smoke also seems to be
condensed and to produce an effect
different from tobacco used in other
pipes. The owner of the pipe is not
yet twenty-two years old. He formed
a taste for horrible things by reading
medicine and making post-mortem ex
animations for several years. Although
this pipe and the stories told of his
grave-robbing exploits shock some of
the people of the village in which he
lives, he is highly esteemed and trusted
by his, townsmen, and is a consistent
church member. Syracuse (N. T.)

A SOLDIER'S DARING.
Running Bridge In m Storm of Bullets t
Nave Train.
Stories of the late war have been re
cited without number, but the follow
ing true incident although told, has
never been published:
It was. as near as I can remember,
in the fall of 1863, while on night
picket duty, the subject of this story,
Thomas A. Smith, of company A,
Forty-second regiment was suspicious
that the enemy was in closer proxim
ity to his post than it was safe for all
hands to have them, and be had scarce
ly made up his mind to reconnolter
when he heard a musket shot from
the post next to him. and in a few
moments an excited German ran up
to him breathless, totally disregard
ing the command "Halt!" exclaiming:
"I shot him, I shot him." After quiet
ing the dismayed man, my grandfather
told him to go back to his post imme
diately; but, subjecting himself to se
vere censure, and possibly the guard
house, ho left his own post, and pro
ceeded to crawl through underbrush
in the direction of a bridge over which
ran a railroad, suspecting that the
enemy might have made mischief
thore. .
It was a beautiful moonlight night,
and objects could be discerned ut some
distance, lie reached the left bank
of the railroad, and, "peering over into
the woods, could distinctly soe men;
one after another, leaping over a log,
and ho knew that if discovered he
would stand little chance of es
cape Ho made his way oa
the bridge, dragging himself along
by inches, and to his horror found
that the rails had been misplaced
about the center of the bridge, and
not a mile from him came the train,
thundering along "into the jaws of
death." lie had no time to lose, and,
at the risk of his life, ho arose to his
feet rind ran the other half of the
bridge towards the train. His pre
sence of mind and true heroism were
further shown by his lighting a match,
applying the flame to a newspaper
which be happily had upon his person,
and thus signaling tho train. Bang!
bang! came from the retreat of thd
miscreants, who were expecting to
see a wholesale slaughter of Union
soldiers. Fortunately none of their
shots took effect
The train, on which Rev. A. R, Mil
ler, now of tho Methodist Church, was
a passenger, came to a stop, explana
tion was made, tho boys in blue sent
up many a hearty cheor and gave
many a warm hand-grasp to their pre
server. Ihe bridge stretched a deep
and rocky ravine, and the wholo train,
with its human freight, would have
gone down to certain death.
A squiul of men was hastily made up
and chase givon to the liends, but
they had made good their escape.
it would seem to me that all the
qualities of a hero are embodied iu an
act as Intrepid as this. Edna M.
Smith, in Philadelphia Press.
