Kdison has Invented an apparatus, called the fluoroscope. hy the aid of which a surgeon, in stead of photographing with the X rays the hones or other hard substances concealed under the skin and flesh of a patient, may actually see them. The machine depends for Its action upon the fact that the X rayi possess the property of rendering luminous certain substances, which chemists call fluorescent. Mr.- Kdison ilrst deier mined, by experiment, that the best fluorescent substance for this purpose was calcium tungstnte. The tungstale is spread In a smooth layer upon a piece of pasteboard which forms the bottom of a small box. having boles for the eyes at the upper eud. A Crookes tube, enclosed In another box. Is excited by a current of electricity, and If the hand, for Instance, Is to be examined, It Is placed upon the box containing the tnlie. The observer then looks Into the viewing box, whose tungstate-eovered bottom Is placed di rectly above the hand, and sees,wlth startling distinctness, the boiy-s and Joints, showing at dark and delicately graduated shadows, while the flesh is only faintly visible. The reason the bones appear Is because they Inter cept the X rays, nnd thus prevent the tungstate sur'v'p from becoming fluor escent where their shadows fall The Hanner of the Fun. The expedition which will go from the I.lck Observatory to observe the eclipse of the gun In Japan next Au gust will carry a novel photographic machine to picture the great coronal treamer that are seen around the sun when Its globe Is hidden behind the moon. The sun's corona has been pho tographed during previous eclipses, but aa Its light Is much stronger near the aun than at a greater distance, the photographs have Invariably been over exposed for the brighter part of the phenomenon when so timed as to catch the Image of the fainter parts; and, conversely, the outer portions of the streamers have been lost In the photo graphs when the exposure has been made short enough to give a good Im age of the bright Inner portion. Mr. Burekhalter, of the Ohahot Observa tory, Oakland, who will accompany the expedition referred to, thinks be has contrived a machine that will pqiialixe the exposure for all part of the corona, and thus enable lilm to get a perfect photograph of the won derful display around the sun during the eclipse. The principal feature of his Invention is a rotating diaphragm, driven by clockwork and provided with a peculiarly shaped hole for the pas sage of the light, whereby the fnint outer part of the corona will get a much longer exposure than iLe brill iant Inner part Astonishing Blaleiiiem. A certain woman novelist writes in so a musing a fashion that the many blunders which mar her work lire not discovered by the critical. In one of her novels will be found a horse win ning the Derby three yeura lu aiioe slon; guardsmen sitting; up nil night drinking hard, smoking perfumed cig arette, gambling for fabulous sums, and starting forth In the roornlDg after breakfast of ortolans and green Char treuse, fresh aa daisies and prepared to do deeds of prowess In the hunting field or at the covert aide; and thut great feat, too, performed by a maiii wlih a "tawny mustache and flunk! like 3 greyhound," who, while snipo Aome of Our Puritan Ancrtlon flad shoot1!, espies an eagle.

Iu the days of Crom birds, with bis glorious pinions out-jwell, contemporary jokes were rife stretched, sinks at his feet a coriisi?." Iu another ,f her Istoks a genth-man performs a similar feat, but this tlm lor the snke of variety, with a rifle bul let. An Knglish novelist, In describing river side jieople says, "They go to church but three times In their lives when they are baptized, when they are married, and when they are buried." It Is only people In novels who go to be buried during their lives. Mr. Rider Haggard, in his "King Solomon's Mines," made an eclipse of the nmoti take place at the new moon Instead of at the full, when the earth Is betwee:! the sun anil the moon. A Public Keuervoir. I saw an Interesting sight while In Venice. Kut e ring a little square shut in by high houses, and, like most Vene tian Muans. dominated by tht' niilin-isiu-d facade of a tlnie-stalned church, I noticed a singular activity among t!ie. people. They were scurrying iu from every alley, and hastening from every house door, with odd-shnped copper buckets on hook-ended woodi n bows, nnd with little coils of rop.-. Old men and women, boys, and girl ;, all gathered closely about a covered well curb lu the middle of the square; and still they hurried on, until they stood a dozen deep around It. I'n s ently the cliw-k in the church tower slowly struck H, nnd a little man forced his way through the crowd, passed his jMinderoiis Iron key through 11: lid, and unlocked the well. There Immediately ensued a scene of great activity. The kettles went Jan gling into It, nnd came slopping out again at an untaxing rate, nnd Un people trudged off home, each with u pair of them swung from each shoul der. The wells arc deep cisterns, which are filled during the night, and It Is out of amiable consideration for thos--who love their morning nap that they are given us good a chance as their neighbor of getting an unsoiled sup ply. It Is the Hrst instance that has come to my notice of n commendable municipal restraint upon the repre hensible practice of early rising. I found, on closer Investigation, that th -water was of excellent quality. Training the Human I'ody. I'.y those who will exercise the re quisite patieiuv, the body nnd Its varl ous functions may be brought under perfect command. Even the vital func tions of the body may hi- affected. There have been not n few exhibitors who could actually control the heart beat, making their pulses noticeably slower or luster according to their pleasure. The seemingly nriraciiliuis feats of ncrolmts aj-e simply the results of continually placing particular sets of muscles under complete control of the will. We should do well to try to appreciate how Important, to our phys ical being at least, f lie gaining of a complete control over bodies may be. The student who has before him a dif ficult ixissage or problem must, If he woi.'. i succeed, exercise sufficient will force to place everything else In his mind second to the task before him.

When very young the tltudes of petty things tend to make cubs are taken from the lioness and u forget our purpose in living, and if I given to a collie, Newfoundland, or we are to rise above them, we must other canine foster-mother. As a rule, remember to unburden our minds of a woman looks after both nurse nnd the "worries" that we may have room for the "realities." We must shun ex- citement of every kind. We must live an even, temperate life; and we can do this easily enough If we have gained perfect control over ourselves. ' ! Not Quite Correct. , In telling a Joke, It Is well to under stand It thoroughly. A party of men were wont to amuse themselves at , table by relating anecdotes, c onun- I drums, etc. Mr. Archer was always! greatly delighted at these Jokes, hut 1 he never related anything himself, and ( 1 I .. .- .... U ,1.1.. I being rallied on the matter, he deter mined that the next time he was called iqiou be would say something amusing., Accordingly, meeting one of the wait ers soon afterward, he asked him if he knew any good Jokes or conundrums, j The waiter Immediately related the following: "It Is my father's child, and my mother'u child, yet It Is not my sister or brother," telling him nt the same time that It was himself. Mr. Archer bore this In mind, and at tha next meeting of bis friends propound ed It. "It it my father's child, and my mother's child, yet It Is not my sister or brother," throwing a triumphant glance around the table. 'Then It must be yourself," said one of the company. "I've got you now," aald he; "you are wrong this time; It Is the waiter." A shout of laughter Interrupted ArcliPr, who perceiving the mess he had got Into, acknowledged his error, and told the coinnanv that he would nay for the i wine. It was bis last effort. Working Their ' Way. inning the past summer a number o.' Undent who are working thdlr way through the Philadelphia colleges ob tained employment as car eonduetoin in that city, and proved to be reliable nnd trustworthy. A railroad official says that they were thoroughly honesi, intelligent nnd polite, and ns their de sire was to earn as much money during the summer as pissible, they were always willing to work extra hours nnd take out special cars. They lived eco nomically, and have probably saved something like fVM each, which will go a good way toward paying their col lege expenses next wlr.tor. This Item apenk-i for Itself, and needs no com ment. An Idle man Is never welcome unless he bus money to spend. QUEERLY NAMED. amo-ig me .Malignant, in w men sucii worthy Itoundheads as "Fight-the-good-tight-of-faith Jones," "Help-froin on-HIgb Kobbins," ami "Faint-not- IMs bery," figured prominently, and wire treated with scant n-spect. The name j themselves were not burh'squwd. They were so queer It would have lieen dilli-i cult to do so. The longest and strangest of the com binations lu use In Old England did not. ' fortunately, ever become popular In ! New England. Nevertheless the Amer-1 lean colonics had their share. Our own ! Dr. Holmes has recognized this In his! ballad of I'liritan times, beginning with the father's imitation to bis little son: "Come hither, Ood-be-Cloritied. and sil ' upon my knee." j And it was in a much later period than the colonial that a worthy person j flourished, commonly known as Trlbby j Clap, but whose whole mime was Through-much -ir.imianou-we eiiter-tlie- kingiloiii-of-1 leaven Clap. The brief surname follows its len-.thy prelix as i surprisingly ns a chip of thunder. I But, apart from the rarer ami longer! combination names, any one reading much Htnoiig old tow n rec ird-i, or expert In antiquarian lore, is sure to come across names odd enough to make him pause to wonder whether the ancestors who bestowed them were so singularly sober-minded as to be without tin sense of humor, or so excessively hu morous as to name their children in J"t. j Some of the names read remarkably! like puns. For instance, one of a group of her ancestors to wi Mrs. Alice Morse K.-nie dedicates a recent book on I "Colonial Haines anil Uoodwives" is j .Mlstnss .silence Ilejird. One wonders whether Ooodninii and Ooodwifc Heard noticed ihe effect of this con junction when they named their baby, or did they do It ou purpose V Here are n few other names of the same kind, all duly recorded among the births and deaths, wills and hind trans fers of a few little New- England towns: "Wait Long." 'Temperance Waters." "Righteous Hope," "I.ovey Sweet,' "Submit Willing," ami '"Thankful . Hart" j "Expect Little" of one village list olT , Refs "Hope Much" of another. "Lively Smart" should certainly have been !i forward child, but he died in Infancy. ( One poor little girl, nt least, we may be sure was named in Ignorance by her. parents, who were peaceable and re-1 Kpccted people, though it is hard to j imagine how they could have failed to perceive the bloodthirsty significance! ( f her Christian name when united' I with her surname. She was christened t "Desire Gore!" j Notwithstanding her forbidding ap pellation, n young man was found bold enough to nsk her to change It, nnd she , 1ms to-day numerous descendants I whoso desires are not gory, but It Is quite true that none of them Is named . for her great-great-grandmotlier. Itred In Captivity. The greater number of the lions ex ihlted to the English public have been j culis, the task usually falling to the lot I of the mistress of the caravan. When norn uie lions are like young cats. The little family is usunlly accommodated in a corner of the caravan, or in the trainer's private apartment. In their Infancy the young lions are treated Just like kittens. When they are able to walk they have the run of the place, play about, nnd seem to look for and enlov tlm tl -bits and enrmuua that in-stowed upon them. They recognize for a long time the authority, so to speak, of the foster-mother, and are obedient to her wishes, even after they . .... have considerably outgrown her In size. He Had a Good Eicuse. A clergyman was on a Western trip for his health, and happened one Sun lay to stop at a little Colorado Inn, the keeper of which was also the superin tendent of the local Sunday school. The superintendent was proud of bis schol ars, and persuaded hla guest to attend that afternoon's session, and to put the pupils through a little examination. The lateer did as djtslred, and wound up with a short discourse on profane swearing. "I hope," he added, "that none of you ever Indulge In that wicked practice. I am sure," he continued, turning to the head boy, a sparkling urchin of ten, "that you never do It Do you, my little man?" "No o, sir, I don't The other day 1 '! call Bill 8mlth a cussed fool.

The double turreted mon itor Terror has gone Into commission at the Brooklyn navy yard. She Is heav ily anno red and has four ten-Inch guns In her turrets which will throw steel projectile with accuracy and effective ness nine miles. The Terror has a low free-board and her turrets are low, for which reasons she will offer a poor target for hostile men-of-war. She could bring all four of her guns to bear on a ship which, at a considerable dis tance, would have great difficulty In hitting her at all.
