During the summer months the
temperature usually ranges from 35
to 65 degrees, says a writor in Home
and Country, and on some days the
heat is such that one might bo par
doned for believing that the burning
rays shining down upon the traveler,
are those of a tropical sun. The val
leys are carpeted with a mantle of
green, the grass in many places grow
ing knee high, while dandelions, pop
pies, saxifrage, and other wild Howers
are found in profusion and the air is
full of insect life. Marine birds and
garishly colorod butterflies dart hither
and thither, while the less pleasing
mosquito amply demonstrates that
arctic existence does not impair
its fiendish persistency or rapacious
appetite. The upper air resounds
with the confused voices of the feath
ered tribe, which range from the
quick twitter of the swallow to the
hoarse “quonek quonck” of the eider
duck. Snow is only visible on the
high elevations. Indeed, there is the
“brawling brook," or “babbling
brook,” if you please, the leaping
mountain torrent, and all the other ac
cessories proscribed by poets and art
ists to complete a beautiful panorama.
The picture is more striking on ac
count of its bold contrasts. Forbid
ding black cliffs and lofty rock-ribbed
mountains rear their Htatoly heads far
above the verdant valleys, while far
beyond, the green soa is softly caress
ing some tall iceborgs that are glisten
aces.
To-day we travel to Bermuda or
across the ocean to Switzerland in
search of health or pleasure. Why
not go to Greenland? It may be a rash
prediction, but I feel confident that
before many years have passed the
north will become a favored if not
popular summer resort. Then the
man of business, the. student, the art
ist and their wives and daughters as
well, instead of going for the summer
to some place they are woll acquainted
with, such as insipid watering places
or the corresponding fashionable sea
side resorts, will sot sail for Green
land, the new Eldorado of nature’?

POOR MARKSMANSHIP.
Flrlog In Both Army and Navy Leas Ac
curate Than Formerly.
The training of navy artillerists has,
in recent years, been given a good
deal of attention, and no end of pow
der and shot has been expended in
target practice designed to serve a
more telling purpose in actual war
fare should the occasion present it
self. It would seem, therefore, that
the floating equipments of naval pow
ers of to-day ought to givo good ac
counts of themselves in point of
marksmanship if called into action,
though, according to Cassier’s Maga
zine, it would be presumptuous to un
dertake to foreshadow possible re
sults. If, on the other hand, past experi
ence counts for anything, there would
seem to have been a notable deciino
in accuracy in naval gunnery, growing
with successive improvements in naval
architecture and naval armament. It
was estimated some years ago from
data furnished by target practice at
sea, that a heavy gun must be dis
charged fifty times to make one
effective hit. The old smoothbores
were credited with killing a man by
the discharge of the gun’s weight in
shot; in otuer words, three tons of 82
pounder shot are required for the
purpose. Actual service tests with
modern high-power guns, however—
guns weighing twelve tons—has,
within the past ten or twelve years,
shown that it took about sixteen tons
of projectiles to accomplish the same
thing. It is interesting to note from
what statistics are available that the
introduction of rifled muskets into
the armies has had a somewhat sim
ilar result. The old-time muskets, it
is said, killed a man by firing at him
his own weight in lead bullets, but the
modern rifle in the hands of the aver
age soldier, so it has been figured out,
does not effect a fatality until it has
discharged twice the man’s weight in
load. Both here, as woll as in naval
shooting, therefore, there has been
shown to be an important demand
for greater skill and care. Whothe r
this has been met in any measure, fu
ture hostilities only will tell.
The Difficulty.
Dramatic Author — Mr. Manager,
may I venture to ask whether my
three-act play has been accepted?
Manager—Well, you see, the three
members of the reading committee
have gone through it, and they have
come to the conclusion that one act
will have to be struck out.
Author—Oh! there is no difficulty
about that; it is not so bad after all.
Manager—No, but unfortunately
each of the membors wants to strike
out a different act!

Thoa* Worn on OQolal OooMloni bjr ,J ci
ties* of the Inpnma Court.
A justice pays as much for his robe
of office as he would pay for a very
handsome suit of clothing', says the
Washington Star. There is a fixed
price for the gown—a price which does
not vary with the fluctuations in the
duties on silk. One woman has mado
all the justices’ gowns for forty years,
and her invariablo price for one is
f 100. Like the tailors who make a
specialty of outfits for officers of the
army and navy,she knows just what are
the requirements of a justice's gown,
and all her customer has to be con
cerned about is its fit. The gown
must sot well across the shoulders,
and it should reach from the neck to
the hools; but it should not drag on
the floor. 1 say floor, because,
except on inauguration day, the
justice does not wear his gown out
of doors. When he attends an
official dinner or reception at the
White house, he wears tho garb of
everyday life; even when ho calls on
the president on the opening day of
the court's Session, he goes in tho
clothes he would wear at the break
fast table. If you visited one of tho
justices at his home of an evening,
you would find a pleasant, rather oif
hand man, in a frock coat, with none
of the solemnity of manner that cloaks
the justices when they are on the
uduuii. supremo court justices
are by no means unapproachable.
They are, in fact, considered very
jolly after-dinner companions and
they are in great demand in social
Washington. The justice wears his
robe only when the supremo court, as
a body, is participating in somo official
ceremony. He may go gowned to a
funeral, if it is an official funeral. He
wears it at the inauguration of a
president, but ordinarily he puts it on
in the robing-room in the morning
and takes it off in the robing-room at
dusk. He does not wear it even in
the consulting-room, so there is very
little wear and tear on it, and one
robe will outlast several • suits of
clothing.
According to the technical descrip
tion of it, the judge's robe is made of
large, straight widths of silk. It is
three and a quarter yards wide at tho
bottom. It has a narrow hem around
the bottom and a broad hem down the
front. It is guaged at the top to a
yoke, which is short on the shoulders
and forms a deep scallop at the back.
The flowing sleeves are a yard and a
quarter wide and reach to the wrist.
A justice usually accepts his ftrst
gown without question; but as he
grows a little older on the bench ho is
as fussy about the fit of the garment
as a young woman with her first ball
dress. Having donned their robes
with the aid of the old attendants—
and they are old enough to be con
spicuous even in this city of long ser
vice—the justices, at a few minutes
before noon, cross tho hall to the
ante-room of tho court. The transit
of the justices is a matter of daily in
terest and wonder to the visitors at
the capitol. It is the signal for a raid
—a very subdued, dignified raid—on
the door of the courtroom, where a
doorkeeper sits, solemnly manipulating
the swinging door with a cord. Only
so many people are admitted to tho
courtroom, and the number is small.
There are but a few rows of benches
outside the inclosure reserved for tho
members of the bar. No crodwing of
the courtroom is permitted.
An impntKlhle llouflo.
The man and his wife called on the
architect, and the architect was glad
to see them, for business was ex
tremely dull.
“We want you to build a house for
us,” said the man by way of introduc
tion.
“Thanks,” bowed the architect, “I
shall be only too glad to do so, and I
am quite sure that I can give entire
satisfaction.”
“Well, you ought to,” remarked
the lady, “we don’t want much.”
“What kind of a house did you
wish?” inquired the architect.
“We want a good plain one of about
eight rooms,” explained tho man,
and we will leave the design to you.
All we expect is that when you have
finished it will suit my wife and my
self. I mean on tho inside; we are
not so particular about the outside."
The architect heaved a deep sigh.
“I’m very sorry,” he said, “but you
will have to go to somo other archi
tect. We can’t design an impossible
house in this office.”—Detroit Freo
Press.

“Yours is a perplexing ease,” said
the oculist. “You call red ‘purple’
and referred to Nile green as ‘Turkey

“Yes,” replied the visitor, with a
contented smile. “I guess I was born
that way.”
“It’s the most aggravated case of
color-blindness I ever encountered in
my professional experience.
“That's it. I want you to write me
out a statement to that effect. Never
mind what the fee is. You see, my
wife has a lot of samples sho wants
matched, and she'll ask me to take
the job some time next week, sure.”
And then the oculist had his
suspicions.—Washington Star.

'Die Hibernia, a small boat which
piles on tho river Thames, England, is
said by tho Now York Advertiser to
be the fastest boat of its slzo aflout,
and a trip in it is an exporionco. At
ordinary speed tho Hiborniu behaves
like an ordinary boat, cutting her way
through tho water and leaving a mod
erate impression in the form of shoro
waves. With a slight touch of the
regulator she leaps forward, and as
the spoed increases she gradually sinks
a little by the stern, rises a little by
the head, until ut u certain speed
the bow rises clean out of the water,
and the boat flies along at the top of
it, throwing a double wall of spray, bo
tween which she ilios at a speed of
about twenty-nine miles an hour with
the stream and twenty-six and a quar
ter miles against tho stream.
Some idea of the power of this boat
may be gathered from tho following
statement of dimensions and engine
power: The length of the boat is 48
feet 8 inches over all; breadth, 7 feet
8i inches; draught 1 foot 41 inches,
and depth of propeller below the
water line L‘ feet 5 inches. The boiler
is of steel, locomotivo pattern, with
barrel five-sixteenths inch, thick,
quintuple riveted in longitudinal
seams. The engines are two-cylindor,
both high pressure, 71 inch diameter,
stroke 6 inches, revolutions about 750
per minute up to 1,050 revolutions
per minuto when doing the liighost
speed. The propeller has three blades
of hammered double shear stool, with
carefully propared surface and knife
edge, keyed in a wrought steel boss
and accurately balanced. Tho en
gines are of small dimensions, except
in the wearing and hard working
parts, and hero tho dimensions are
very large, and at first glance dispro
portionatelv strong.
Every detail has boon most care
fully designed, and carried out with
equally careful workmanship and ex
cellent finish. The boat was built
chiefly for umpire work at regattas
and coaching university crews, and
has run over 3,800 miles without the
touch of a spanner.
