The Tone of Recent Stories. A misguided jerson recently, who was desirous of lieing cheerful, and seeking something that would raise his spirits, and who hail ¡»erhajis in Lis soul a hankering after lieauty, said that he could not And in any book shop or newsstand a novel or short story of recent date that was not unpleasant in subject, au<l did not end either iu despair or degrada tion. Even in the railway trains the same discouraging and altogether dyspeptic papulum was offered to him; the tiain seemed to 1« run by «Schopenhauer. Every day a shoal of fiction is issued, and it is nearly all ot this character. All the young writers catch this note. We cannot deny their sincerity. They do not vet know by experi ence that it is m.t a cheerful world they liave fallen into, but their atti tude to life Is that of sadness, inves tigating sadness aided by a micro scope. The duty is laid upon them of studying life as it really is. of ex posing its weakness ami imjwrfec- tion, its evil and its ugliness. This study is usually made without hope. And the study being always down ward. it conies to lie frit that oue cannot be altogether sincere without Icing sad and too often coarse.— Charles Dudley Warner in Harjier's. « pm ify the bh> d A Curluu» Acrldent. COHN & CO., The public has very little idea of the amount of ' leakage’’ that goes on in the transmission of telegraph messages.

With a view to gauge the extent to which such eavesdropping could be carried an expert operator was a Z^vill cf .A.11 employed a short time ago to call at some of the Wall street brokers' of fices, as well as some of the city ho ZZirxcis of O-xooexies, Crockery, tels of New York.

This instrument is fitted with a special resonator of aluminium of extreme sonorousness. Although the instru ment as generally constructed may be kept so adjusted that no move ment of the armatures can be de tected with the naked eye. and that no sounds can be heard without holding the ear close to the instru ment. this resonator even under such conditions transmits the message to a receiving tube from which the sig nals can be easily read. —Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. belili Ôf lté1. ED\v. G. B. WIST, The City of Babylon. Acconlingto Herodotus, th 2 ancient city of Babylon stood on a broad, level plain and was an exact squ;yv of fourteen miletereh way. m.ikm'g the entire circuit of the city fifty-six miles. It was protected both by a wall and a moat, the latter being brow 1 and deep and kept constantly filled with water. Bat the wall wa« the wonder of wonders, being 93k feet in width and an even 20J feet iu height. Tais monster barrier was provided with 10 » gates, all of »olid brass, the lintels and side pieces be ing in bronze. Cross walls ran along the Imnks of the Euphrates, each provide 1 with twenty five gates, which correspon led to the number of streets running in each direction from the river. The most remarkable edifice inside the wall was the Temple of Bel. a pyramid of eight square stadia. On the summit of this pyramid stood a pure g ild image of Bel forty feet high, two other smaller figures of the same precious metal and a golden table 41' feet long and 15 feet wide. This wonderful city first came promi nently into the history of the world in the year 747 B.

The last of the great forests of tie United States are those of the Pacific coast, and immeasurably the great est of them is what is known as the Puget sound forest, extending from the British Columbia line on the north to the Columbia river on the south, and from the Cascade moun tains on the east to the Pacific ocean. Where the forests are at all dense the average amount jier square mile is greater than in any other forest in the world. This is largely due to the extreme humidity of the atmosphere and the character of the soil, which is one of the richest anywhere found. At the foot of Mount Tacoma there are trees that by actual measurement by one of the best surveyors on the coast. Professor Fred G Plummer, have been found to be C50 feet high. Professor Charles F. Sargent, who prepared many of the articles on the forest trees of America for the cen sus of 1880, stated that the Douglas fir had a trunk from o. S3 to 3. GO-me ters. or from 2 feet 7 inches to 12 feet in diameter. The red cedar is of still larger growth and is often found to exceed 2o feet in diameter, and on John's river, which flows into Gray's har bor, is a red cellar apjiarently sound all through that measures 36 feet in diameter at the butt, two feet from the ground, and 32 feet in diameter at six feet from the ground. This is of course exceptional, but cedars 20 feet in diameter or 63 feet in circum- feivnce are very frequently met with in the state.—San Francisco Chron icle.
