J5he BondmeoY B HALL CAINE. CHAPTER Xlir. (Continued.) The Bishop's words had quickened the pulse of the people, and cheer fol lowed cheer again. "It la written," continued the Bishop, "that t hosoever oxalteth himself shall be abased, ami .he that hunibleth himself snr.ll be ex alted. Our young President, has this clay gat down In the lowest rc-om; and If he must needs leave us, hfvlng his own reasons that are none of oira, may the Iord cause His face to sh ne upon him, and comfort him in al hs adver sities." Then there was but one oice in that assembly, the voice of a loud Amen. And Michael 8unloels had risen again with a white face and dim eyes, to return his thanks, and iay his last word before the vote for his re lease should be taken, when there was a sudden commotion, a sound of hurying feet, a rush, a startled cry, and at the next moment a eomrany of soldiers had entered the housn from the cell below, and stood with drawn i-words on the floor. Before anyone had recoverd from his surprise one of the soldiers had spok en. "Gentlemen," he said, "the door is locked you are prisoners of the King of Denmark!" "Uetrayed!" shouted fifty voices at once, and theu there was wild confu sion. "So this mysterious mummery Is over at last," said the leader of the Levelers, rising up with rigid llmlis, and a scared and whitened face "Now we know why we have ail been Drought here to night. Uetrayed lnd"Pd and there stands the betrayer." So saying he pointed scornfully at Michael Sunlocks, who stood where he had risen, with the look of deep emo tion hardy yet banished from his face by the look of bewilderment that fol lowed It. "Falue," Michael Sunlocks cried. "It la false 08 hell." Hut In that quick Instant the people looked at bliu with changed eyes, and received his words with a groan or rage that sfieficed him. That night Jorgen Jorgensen sailed tip the (lord, and, landing ut Reykja vik, took possession of it, and the sec ond Republic of Iceland was at an end. That night, too, when the Fairbroth ers, headed by Thurstan, trudged through the streets on their way to 5ovemment House, looking to receive the reward that had been promised them, they were elbowed by a drunken company of the Danes who frequented the drinking-Khops on the Cbeapstead. "Why, here are his brothers." shout ed one of the roysterers, pointing at the Falrbrothers. "His brothers! Ills brothers!' shout ed twenty more. Thurmn tried to protest and Jacob to fraternize, but all was useless. The brethren were attacked for the relation they had claimed with the traitor who had fallen, and thus the six worthy ond unselfish souls who had come to Iceland for gain and lost everything, and waited for revenge and only won rtusplclon, were driven off in peril of their necks, with a drunken mob at full cry behind them. They took refuge In a coasting schooner, setting sail for the eastern fiords. Six days afterwards the schoon er was caught in the ice e.t the mouth of Seydis fiord, imprisoned there four months, out of reach of help from land or Sea. and every soul aboard died miserably. Ehort as had been the shrift of Red Jason, the shrift of Michael Sunlocks was yet Bhorter. On the order Of Jor gen Jorgensen. the "late usurper of the Government of Iceland" was sen', for the term of his natural life to tre Sul .phur Mines that he had hlmsl" es tablished as a penal settlement. And such was the fall of Yichael Sunlocks. THE HOOK 01' RED ,'ASOi. CHAPTER I. WHAT BE-FEM, OLD ADAM Now it would be a long task to fol low closely all that befell dcT old Adam Kalrbrother, from the time when the Bhip wherein he sailed for Iceland weighed anchor in Ramsey bay. Vet not to know what strange risks he ran, and how in the end he overcame all dangers, by God's grace, and his own extreme labo', Is rot to know this story of how two goo men with a eol woman between the n pur sued each other over the eartf with vows of vengeance, and came together at length In heaven's good tim'j and way. So not to weary the splrl" with much speaking, yet to leave nothing unsaid that shall carry tis onw-d to that great hour when Red Jaso.'i and Michael Sunlocks stood face te face, let us begin where Adam'g pei'.l be gan, and hasten forward to wh-rre it ended. Fourteen days out of Ramsey. In latitude of 64 degrees, distant t'tout five league north of the Faroes, and In the course of west northwest, hi,? Ing to make the western shores of leel;ad, Adam with his shipmates was over taken by foul weather, with high mas and strong wind opposing them stout ly from the northwest. Thus tp-y vere driven well Into the latitude of sixty-six off the eastern coast of I' land, and there, though the seas still run as hlgb aa to the poop, they were much beset by extraordinary pieces of Ice which appeared to come down from dreenland. Then the wind abated, and an unsearchable and noisome fog fol lowed; so dense that not an aero of :iea could be wen from the top-mast head, and so foul that the compasses would not work In It. After that, though they wrought night and day with poles and spikes, they were bent en anions the Ice as scarce as any ship ever was before, and so terrible were the blows they suffered that many a time they thought the plunks must be wrenched from the vosaer sides. Nev ertheless they let fall Mil, thinking to force their way through the Ice before they were stowed to piece, and, though the wind was low, yet the ship felt the canvas and cleared the shoals that encompassed her. The wind hcn fall to calm, but still the fog hung heavily ' . COfltlMCl Story. oevr the sea, which was black and smelt horribly. And when they thought to try their soundings, knowing that somewhere thereabouts the land must surely be, they heard a noise that ieemed at first like the tract of the shore. It was worse than that, for it was the rut of a great bank of Ice, two hundred miles deep, breaking away from the fir shores of Greenland, and coming with its steady sweep, sucn as no human power could resist, towards the coasts of Iceland. Between that vast ice floe and the land they lay, with its hollow and terrible voice in their ears, and with no power to fly from It for their sail hung loose and Idle in the dead stillness of the air. Oh! It is an awful thing to know that death is swooping down on you hour by hour; to hear It coming with its hideous thunder, like the groans of damned souls, and yet to see nothing of your -danger for the day darkness that blinds you. But the shipmaster was a stout-hearted fellow, and while the fog continued and he was without the help of wind or compass, he let go a raven that he had aboard to see if It could discover land. The raven flew to the northeast, and did not re turn to the ship, and by that token the master knew that the land of Ice land lay somewhere near on their star bnard bow. So he was for lowering the lone; boat, to stand in with the coast and learn what part of Iceland It was. when suddenly the wind larged again, and before Ions It blew with violence. At this their peril was much In creased, for the night before had been bitterly cold, and the sails had been frozen where they hung outspread, and some of the cables were as stiff as icicles and half as thick as a man's body. Thus under wind that in a short space rose to a great storm, with can vas that could not be reefed, an ocean of lee coming down behind, and seaB beneath of an untouchable depth, they were drivpn on and on towards an un known shore. From the like danger may God save all Christian men. even as he saved old dam and his fellowship, for they had begun to prepare themselves to make a good end of their hopeless lives, when In the lift of the fog the master saw an opening In the coast, and got Into it, and his ship rode safely on a quick tide down the fiord called Seydis fiord. There the same night they dropped anchor in a good sound, and went in stantly to prayer, to praise God for His delivery of them, and Adam called the haven where they moored, "The Har bor of Good Providence. " So with cheerful spirits, thinking themselves indifferently safe, they sought their births, and so ended the first part of their peril In God's mercy and salva tion. Hut the storm that had driven them Into their place of refuge drove their dread enemy after them, and in the night, while they lay In the first sleep of four days, the Ice encompassed them anil crushed them against the rocks. The blow struck Adam out of a tran quil rest, and he thought nothing bet ter than that he was awakening for another world. All hands were called to the pumps, for the master still thought the ship was staunch and might be pushed along the coast by tne shoulders with crows of iron, and thus ride out to hpi. Hut though they worked until the pumps sucked, it was clear that the poor vessel was stuck fast in the ice, and that she must soon get her death-wound. So, at break of day, the master and crew, with Adam Fafrbrother, took what they could car ry of provisions and clothes, and clam bered ashore, leaving the ship to her fate. It was a bleak and desolate coast, they had landed upon, with never a house in sight, never a cave that they might shelter in, or a stone that would cover them against the wind; with nothing around save the bare face of a broad fell, black and lifeless, strewn over with small lleht stones sucked full of holes like the honeycomb, but without trees, $r bush, or grass, or green moss. And there they suffered more privations than it Is needful to tell, waiting for the ice to break, look ing on at its many colors of blue, and purple, and emerald green, and yellow, and Its many strange and wonderful shapes, resembling churches, and cas tles, and spires, nnd turrets, and cities, all ablaze In the noonday sun. They built th'mselves a rude hut of the stones like purrice, i id, expecting the dissolution ot tho ice, they kept watch on their ship, whiui Usolf look ed like an Iceburg frozen Into a ship's shape. And meantime some of their company suffered very sorely. Though the year was not yet far advanced to wards winter, some of the men swooned of the cold that came up from the Ice of the fiord; the teeth of oth ers became loose and the flesh of their gums fell away, and on the soles of the feet of a few the frost of the nights raised blisters as Mz as walnuts. Partly from these privations end partly from loss of heart when at hist one evil day he saw his good ship crushed to s.ollnters against the rocks, the master fell Blck, and was brought so low that in less than a week he lay expecting his good hour. And feeling his extremity he appointed Adum to succeed him as director of the com pany, to guide them to safety over the la.uf, since Providence forbade that they should sail on the seas. Then, all being done, so far as his help could avail, h stretched himself out for his end, only praying in his last hours that he might be allowed to drink as much ale as ho liked from the ship's stores that hncl been saved. This Adam or dered that he should, nnd as long as he lived the ale was brought to him In the hut where he lay, and he drank It until, between draught and draught. It froze In the Jug at his side. After that he died an honest, a worthy, and strong-hearted man. And Adam, being now by choice of the 1st master and consent of his crew the leader of the company, began to make a review of all men and rlothei and victual, and found that there were eleven of t.em In all, with little more than (hey stood up la, and provlalORK to last them, with sparing, three week at utmost. And seeing that they were cut off from all hope of a passage by sea, be set himself to count the chance of a Journey by land, and by help of the ship's charts and much beating of the wings of memory to recover what he had learned of Iceland in the days when his dear lad Sunlocks had left him for these shores, he reckoned that by following the sea line under the feet of the great Vatna-Jokull, they, might hope, if they could hold out ho long, to reach Reykjavik at last. Long and weary the Journey must be, with no town and scarce a village to break it, and no prospect of shelter by the way, save what a few farms might give them. So Adam ordered the carpenter to recover what he could of the ship's sails to make a tent, and of its broken timbers to make a cart to carry vic tuals, and when this was done they set off along the fell side on the first stage of their Journey. The same day, towards nightfall, they came upon a little group of grass covered houses at the top of the fiord, and saw the people of Iceland for the first time. They were a little colony cut off bv impassable mountains from their fellows within the island, and having no ships in which they dare venture to their kind on the seas with out; tall and strong-limbed in their persons, commonly of yellow hair, bitt sometimes of red, of which neither sex was ashamed; living on bread that was scarce eatable, being made of fish that had been dried and powdered; lazy and unclean; squalid and mean-spirited, and with the appearance of being depressed and kept under. It was a cheerless life they lived at the feet ot the great ice-bound jokull and the mar gin of the frozen sea, so that looking around on the desolate place and the dumb wilderness of things before and behind, Adam asked himself why and how any living souls had ever ventured there.

CATARItll A NO ITS SVMHOMS. Catarrh is an inflammation of any of the mucuous membranes of the body. It is marked by the, usual signs of inflammation and, as the word im pliesbeing derived from a Greek word meaning to flow down by a more or less profuse discharge. Ca tarrh may be acute or chronic, and the latter, as will be explained later, may be either atrophic or hypertrophic. Acute catarrh unfortunately needs no description, for it is only too familiar to us all as a cold in the head. In this case it is the mucous membrane of the nostrils which is Inflamed. The most obvious symptoms are swelling of the membrane, which may be so great as to close the nostrils completely, and a profuse discharge. When acute catarrh attack the pharynx or larynx we have a sore throat, and if the inflammatioa extends still farther we have bronchi tis. In the latter case the most evident :dgn is a cough , due either to the pres ence of a mucous discharge, or to ir ritation caused by the air passing through the inflamed bronchial tubes. In young children the Inflammation in the larynx causes much swelling, and this gives rise to the difficult breathing and hoarse voice which characterize one form of croup. If catarrh attacks the stomach it causes severe indiges tion, and when the intestim-.l mucous membrane is affected the most promi nent symptom is diarrhoea. Conjunc tivitis and acute inflammation of the ear are the expressions of catarrh of the eye and the drum of the ear. In chronic catarrh the process is less ac tive; there is usually little or no pain, but the discharge is profuse and thick. In hypertrophic catarrh the mucous membrane becomes permanently thick ened, but in atrophic catarrh it is thinned. Atrophic catarrh is not real ly an inflammmatlon, but rather the result of a previous inflammation which has destroyed the mucous mem brane leaving in its place merely a thin skin, covering the surface, but answering none of the purposes of a mucous membrane. A catarrh may be caused by anything that acts as an Irritant to the mucous membrane dust, sulphurous, ammoniacal, or other strong fumes, undue dryness of the atmosphere, and so forth, in the cane of the air-passages or eyes; indi gestible food, alcohol, and so forth, in the case of stomach or intestines. Often the inflammation is due to the action of microbes, which are probably al ways present, but can work harm only when the soil has been prepared for them by mechanical injury, or by con gestion caused by a chilling of some portion of the surface of the body. A l.lSO FKOM AMKRICA. During the Paris exposition an American firm obtained permission to drive an artesian well in the Bols de Vlncennes near Paris. The city of Paris has two artesian wells which re quired respectively nine and six years to he driven. The American well was sunk to a nearly equal depth, 1 ,935 fee:, last summer in two months. The French were surprised at the rapidity of the work, as well as by the hnmeli iicns ami simplicity of the apparatus. Tlie American company has since of fered to donate the well to Paris as an addition to Its water supply, and some of the French scientific journals express the hope that "I he practical lenon which the new world thus offers gratuitously will not lie without its fruit." A I'.AIH OF Mt'N'AW.tl KITKS. Two kites, which were the leading members of a flight of five sent up last slimmer from the Royal Aeronautical Observatory near Berlin, broke away from their companions, and, dragging a long wire which touched the ground and extended two miles hehifid them, (led before the wind almost 100 miles before they were brought to the earth. The resistance of the wire trailing over the land sufficed to keep the kites prop erly presented to the wind, and their lonely journey lasted through an en tire night, When the kites started on their remarkable break for liberty they were at a height of more than two and i half miles. t Alt II IF. 4 KOW OF ItKICR.o. The invention shown below is a de vice for picking up a row of bricks quickly and transporting them with DEVICE FOR CARRYING BRICKS, safety. The device consists of a turn biiikle provided with threaded sockets at the ends, In each of which Is jour naled a acrew-threaded shaft. The one at the left In the drawing Is bent downward and flattened to form a grip, and the one at the right end la a rlevls. In thl clevis la pivoted an L-shaped lover, which Is flattened at the short CIENCE' 4H end to form the opposite grip for the row of bricks, the long end being bent baot; over the turn-buckle and provid ed with a grip for carrying in the hand. . In operation the turnbuckle Is set to spread the grips apart until the desired quantity of bricks can be pick ed for each load. Then the flat grips are dropped over the two end bricks of the row, the handle meanwhile be ing lowered and the hand grasping the turnbuckle. As soon as the carrier Is In position an upward pull on the lever clamps the grips over the bricks and binds them together with such force that they can be transported without danger of dropping. A patent on this device has been granted. STAMP AFFIXING MACHINES. In large offices, where thousands of letters are sent out every day, some HIGH-SPEED STAMPING APPARA TUS. sort of a stamp-affixing machine is a necessity, and the more accurately and rapidly it will do its work the better, as it is often desired to catch a mail with a batch of letters written late in the afternoon. By the old band meth od of affixing the stamps it would re quire the whole office force to do the work, but shown herewith is a ma chine which the Inventor claims will require next to no attention, the only aid necessary being a boy to feed the stamps. If the latter could be had in a long strip Instead of ten in a row the machine would take care of itself after once stalled. The machine is de signed to be run by a small motor or other belt power, but it may also be operated by foot or hand power. The envelopes are placed in the upright tube on the right, and are fed across the intervening space to the rollers by an endless belt, which is perforated at intervals, and forms, together with the rollers and side-walls, an air cell From this cell a tube leads to a sue tion fan. which, being set In motion by the starting of the machine, cre ates a partial vacuum inside the belt chamber and thiiB holds the letters firmly on the belt by drawing air rap Idly through the perforations. The stamps are suspended in a tray in con junction with a narrow feed roller, which transfers the stamp past the molstener and delivers It to the envel ope at the right instant. The machine is also adapted for the placing of gum med labels on envelopes, and may thus be utilized as an addressing machine. MCSIC'AL ItKKTI.KS. The researches of Mr. C. J. Gahan show that while -the structure of the musical or stridulating organs of bee tles is extremely simple, they some times possess contrivances for varying the pitch. The general structure of such an organ is a hard surface cov ered with striatums, over which some other member of the body furnished with a rasping edge or area is rubbed. When the striated surface Is divided into parts with finer and coarser mark ings, variations of pitch can be pro duced. The organs occur In various species on the head, the legs, the wing cases and the hind body. The katy did and the cricket, which produce mu cal tones in the same way, do not belong to the beetle family. NCIDNTIFH' NOTKS. New KplnitlQc Machine. Some two years ago a resident of Boston.

Beneath the Ocean Nature 1 "Sowlaa; the Diiat of Continent to lie" The Azores Are feiaid to lie Voleaaie i falands. Mr. Peake'e account of a deep-sea Sounding expedition in 1899, published by John Murray the other day, is a substantial addition to our knowledge of the North Atlantic ocean. The ob ject of this enterprise was mainly com mercial, being connected with the lay ing of telegraph cables, but the author has collated the results of several other undertakings which had no pur pose but the advancement of science, such as the voyage of the Challenger, in which Sir John Murray, who con tributes notes to the present paper, took so active a part. These new soundings have enabled Mr. Peake to construct a map of the bed of the North Atlantic, which Is very valu able especially in regard to the vicin ity Gf the Azores. It was known that these islands rise from a submarine plateau, generally about 2,000 fathoms bc-low the surface, and that between it and the slopes leading up, on the one side to the American, on the other to the European shores, lie two yet broad er valleys, the beds of which are about 500 fathoms deeper. The plateau it self was an offshoot from that which, at a less distance from the surface, linke Great Britain with the Shetlonds, the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland, and in which the broad valleys have their heads, deepening as they proceed southward. The Azores are volcanic inlands, piled up mosses of lava. But tne sea Led around is now proved to be far more irregular than was for merly supposed. If the ocean were lowered by 1,000 fathoms, they would form two distinct groups; but a fur ther sinking of 500 fathoms would unite thern into one. The great islands thus revealed, of which the present Azores ore the culminating summits, would, however, be largely extended toward the north, and on this mass also several conspicuous hills would be seen to rise. Even among the exist ing islands the surface is diversified,' as the map shows, by submarine emi nences and rather deeo bosins. But everywhere beneath the ocean the pro cess of rock building is going on. Slowly but surely nature is "sowing the dust of continents to be," not only with the material of Aeonian hills, but also with that which has once been alive. In every part of the North At lantic this work is proceeding. The large map issued with Mr. Peake's pa per brings the operation graphically before our eyes. A deposit of a bluish colored clay forms a broad fringe around the margin of the continental masses, and covers the plateau linking Britain with Greenland. It Is the finer detritus of the land, borne by the cur rents Into the ocean. To what depth it extends depends on circumstances; the zone is broader when the sea bed sinks gradually, narrower where it steepens more quickly. Around the Azores a volcanic mud is found, while at the Bermudas, the deposit is pound-ed-up coral as might be expected. In a few "places green grains are numerous, the casts of minut? organisms a ma terial like ou:- green sands. South of the Azores, and Pj one or two isolated spots, is a bed formed almost entirely of small ahell.3 cf mollusks, called pteropods. But beyond the limit of all these, down to the depths of 2,500 fathoms, the ocean floor is covered with calcareous mud, composed of the relics of minute living creatures, such as algae and foraminifera the so-called globigerina ooze material similar to that of the chalk; and this passes at yet greater depths into a reddish clay, as to the exact origin of which different opinions have been entertain ed. London Standard. Catering- to the xVvtt. For many years New York refused to recognize the west as worthy of the slightest metropolitan consideration, and no effort was made to cater to the wants of the visiting swarms of rough diamonds and unlicked cutis from the boundless prairies. But mercy! How things have changed! Our hotels and restaurants no longer look to Boston and Philadelphia for support. Where the Hub and the Quaker City spend one dollar Chicago spends five. Ex amine the registers of the leading ho tels and see where the patrons come from. The west is "running things" here. In Broadway, not far from Forty-second street, there will be opened on or about April 1 a stylish restaurant with especial attractions for .ae rich German element of Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis. Cleveland, Kansas City, etc., and. I venture to predict that it will be pack ed at all hours with the "ton" of the west. New York Press. Mnaqultoea, I'roat and Fever. If the frost is the effective agent against the continuance of yellow fe ver, how has It happened that the fever has ceased In its time at Key Weet, St. Kitts, Vera Cruz and elsewhere to the south of us, where there Is never a frost? As for the mosquito going out of business with the appearance of the frost, that Is surely a mistake. The winter following the last appearance of fever here wa so mild that the mos quitoes remained In commission until March. The fever, however, disap peared the last week In December. Mobile (Ala.)
