"Going into tho plumbing business?"
a. well-known scientific man, who was
rigged out in a rough-and-ready suit
and carried a bag suirgcstivo of bad

in the Grand Central Depot.
"No," ho replied, laughing, "Tm

" You said salt fislj, not salt cod?"
"No. They arc genuine sea fish
from salt water. It's all in tho bait I

dragging out four or five hammers aud
an assortment of cold chisels, "aud ono
kind answers for all."
" Ah, I sec. You refer to tho rock

"Yes, fossil fishes. It is far ahead
of live fishing, I think. No squalls,
seasickness, or waiting for bites, and
when you do hook one it don't get off.
Then there is tho same variety, only
they arc much more curious, ranging
from armored fellows rolated to tho

"All tho localities you mentioned
were onco under water?"
" Yes, tho Devonian Sea covered tho
spot, and tho aspect of the continent
was materially different from what it is
now. Tho temperature, even, was de
cidedly different. At this timo tho
Rocky Mountains and Appalachians
were only islands, and the Green
Mountains, though above water, were
much lowfer than at present."
"How long ago was this?"
"Well, tho time is given as 39,000,
000 years more guess work; but wo
can easily form ideas of tho immensity
of time by looking around ns, and we
see that the surface of the earth has not
changed perceptibly as far back as we
have information, say four or fivo
thousand years. Now, during thp De
vonian age, strata were deposited from
five hundred to fifteen thousand feet in
thickness. You can draw your own
conclusions as to whether this deposi
tion could tako place in a hundred
thousand or a hundred million years.

great size. They are found in tho
limo stones and marl that underlie tho
coal formation, and with them arc
found ferns, land plants, freshwater
shells and crabs, showing that the local
ity where they were discovered wa3 an

tlicso fishes preserved that every bono,

In nearly all examined the air bladder,

and is always torn, it evidently enabled
tho fish to regulate its buoyancy, so
that it could move with equal fae'lity in

of tho most remarkable fishes is found
in the cretaceous beds, and is allied "to
tho salmon of to-day. Tho head id

scientifically the Porthcus, ami many
specimens wcro found by the late l'rof.
Mudge. They were from eight to ten
feet in length. One fine specimen was
found weathered out by tho wind and
rain, forming a mound on the bank of
tho Solomon Itiver, Kansas. Numerous
other species were found, in the desert
tracts, near Fort Wallace, Kansas, on
tho shores of the great cretaceous sen
that once was there. What is the
largest fossil fish known? The sharks
from the tertiary period are probably
the largest. Some of them wcro pos
sibly ono hundred and fifty feet long.

lection that are ns perfect as when
thoy were in the fhh, and tho enamel
is as rich as ever. Some of the teeth
ure as large as your outstretched
hand."
"But how do you know they were a
hundred and fifty feet long.?"
"By a vory simple calculation. Take
the jaw of one of the allied sharks of
to-day the curclmrios as a model, aud
arrange these fossil teeth in seven or
eight rows in an imaginary jaw, or one
made of plaster, and you will have a
jaw largo enough to hold several men,
and to give it a proportionate length
will roquiro the number of feet men
tioned in all likelihood."
A lino collection of fossil fishes, the
best in the city, and probably in tho
country, is owiiod by Dr. Newbury, of
Columbia College, and the largo sharks1
teeth can be seen at the Museum in
Ccntrnlll'ark. Dr. Sir John Hunter, of
tho College of Physicians and Surgeons,
London, in describing a specimen of
medium sizo, says: "Tho length of tho
base of this tooth from the carclutrotlon
mcgakxlm (Agassiz) is four inches
eight lines: that of tho longest of its
sides, fivo inches ten lines; with it is
placed a tooth of nn unusually large
specimen of the largest known living
species of atrduirias, tho length of the
bao of which is ono inch eight linos,
and that of tho longest of its sides two
inches throo lines. This tooth is from
a shark about twenty feet long. The
fossil shark, if bearing the same pro
portion to tho teeth, must have been
over sixty feet long," Tho fossil tooth
used in Sir John's comparison was from
tho" mioccne tertiary for mations of
Malta, and was a third smaller than the
largest found in America. Prof.
Agassiz made similar comparisons
with like results. Tho teeth, al
though under ground for untold
ages, still in many cases retain their
beautiful polish, and tho lino serrations
of the trenchant edges aro as porfect :is
when first depositod. If a longitudinal
section is removed from one ot tho
basal auglcs, the thin layer of enam
eled dentine will be found intact In
tho fossil shark's tooth, or glovio vclra,
this enamel is composed of animal sub
stanco and calcareous earth, and is
nearly in the samo quantity as the re
cent but the central part of the tooth
ljas its animal substance in a state of
mucous interspersed in tho calcareous
mattor. TIkj teeth wero formerly
found in great number by Prof. Holmes
near Charleston. S. C.

8tage-Bldin? in Nevada.
In Nevada, recently, two rival coaches
started out on parallel roads, each four
team, on a gallop. A Now Yorker,
being the only passenger in ono coach,
took a scat with the driver. He endured
tho first fivo miles vory well, as tho road
was protty smooth, but he finally care
lessly observed:
"This paco is rather hard on the
horses, isn't it?"
"Oh. no! They aro used to it I
haven't begun to swing 'cm yet," was
the reply.
"If we were going a little slowor I
could enjoy the scenery much better."
"Yes, I s'poso so; but this lino isn't
run on the scenery principle."
That ended tho conversation until the
horses turned a corner, and the stage
rode around it on two wheels. Then
the New Yorker remarked:
"I suppose you sometimes meet with
accidents?'"
"Almost everyday." was tho brief
reply.
"Is there danger of something giving
wav?"
"Of courso; but we' vo got to tako our
chances, (i fang there."
At tho end of another mile tho pass
enger controlled his voico sufficiently
to inquire:
"What if wo should not reach Red
Hill by exactly two o'clock? I am iu
no hurry."
"No, I s'poso not, but I've got to do
it or lose ten dollars."'
"How'"
"Tve got an even tctf bet that I can
boat the other stage into Kcd Hill by
fifteen minutes, and I am going to win
that money if it kills a horse."
"Say, hold on!" exclaimed tho other,
as he felt for his wallet " I like to. ride
fast, and am not a bit nervous, but I
do hate to see horses get worried.
Here's twenty dollars for you! Now
let's sort o' jog along the rest of tho
way, and get a chance to smoke and
talk about the Indians."
"Whoa, there! Come down with
you gentle, now! take it easy, and
don't fret!" called the driver, as he
E tilled in, and reached for the green
acks with ono hand' and for his pipe
with the other. Thereafter the New

Premiftr t Marry.
A iit for breach of promise of mar
riage has been brought to trial in Can
ada thai involves some points of general
fTutercst John Faulkner, a bachelor.
owning property to the amount of forty
or liftv thousand dollars, promised to
marry Irs. Jano Tillson. a widow whose
husband hsd been one of his tenants;
and a written memorandum of the
agreement was drawn up and a day set
for tho ceremony. Very soon, however.
Faulkner seems to have repented of his
step, and when tho day appointed for
tho marriage arrived, he was not ready
to proceed, and tiic ceremony had to be
postponed. Ho was always unpre
pared to enter upon matrimony when
the decisive moment arrived; but Mrs.
Tillson was alivays ready, and clung to
him patiently.
Finally, he seems to havo btruck upon
tho idea of treating her in such a rude
and insulting manner in the presence
of other persons that it would Iks im
pos3iole for her to submit to it without
degradation. She discontinued her
efforts to bring the marriage about and
commenced suit against him for breach
of promise, claiming damages in the
sum of live thousand dollars.
Faulkner did not improve in his
offensive behavior toward the plaintiff
after the suit was instituted; but when
the case was called in court for trial, he
took the whole foundation from under
her feet by offering, through his coun
sel, then ant there to marry her. It
was plainly impossible for her at that
stage of their relations, with any seno
of decency or self-respect, to accept
this offer; and yet tho Judge was forced
to say that he did not see how the suit
could be maintained under thcf existing
law, if she declined it - r
Breach of promise law, as frequently
laid down in tho courts, is peculiar in
this respect. Iu othsr contracts, if
there is a refusal to perform, and suit
for damages for the breach is com
menced, an offer to carry out theagrcc
ment is then too late; but a different
rule has been enunciated in respect to
contracts of marriage.
The plaintiff's counsel argued that
the defendant, by his intolerable con
duct, had mado it impossible for
her to accent his oiler at that stage, and
that this distinguished tho caso from
others; but Judge Cameron doubted tho
soundness of the distinction. "More
over," said he in cilect "tho meaner
you prove this defendant to havo been,
tho less damago do you prove, and tho
weaker do you mako your ground for
recovering a verdict You .sue for
damages incurred by this man's refusal
to marry tho plaintiff. In the first
place, ho says he now is willing to
marry, and in the second place you
show him to have behaved so contempt
ibly that if ho persisted in his refusal it
ought to he regarded as a benefit rather
than an injurv to her." The plaintiff's
counsel argued that his client lost a
share in tho defendant's property, to
which she would havo been entitled as
his wife. The Judge, however, ad
hered to his view of the case, and
although ho finally allowed it to go to
trial, it was withinstructions to tho jury
that caused thorn very speedily to briug
in a verdict for the defendant
It has often been said that breach ot
promiso suits ought not to be favored;
and recent action of the House of Com
mons shows that such is the sentiment
entertained by a large proportion of
Englishmen. But the answer to this
and a sufficient one--has been that there
ought to be some remedy for the in
jury that may bo done to a confiding
woman by a faithless man, who, after
permitting her to wait for years in the
belief that he would fulfill a promise to
marry her, heartlessly forsakes her.
If, however, the view of the law taken
by Judge Cameron is correct, it is clear
ly in the power of any man, if ho bo
sufficiently mean, to break such a prom
ise and still avoid legal liability for it
When he gets rcaily to discard tho
woman to whom ho has pledged his
faith, he need only begin a course of
such cruol conduct toward her as no
woman can endure; and if this docs
not suffice to free him, ho can flatly re
fuse to fulfill his promiso, compel her
to begin suit, wait until tho case is
ready for trial, and offer to comply
with his contract then,. but in so con
temptuous and offensive a manner as
would forbid tho accoptancc of tho
offer. Tho more outrageous his beha
vior, tho weaker the cause of action
against him.
It may be said that in one senso
Judge Cameron is right, and that a
woman ought to bo glad to escape mar
rying such a fellow; but it cannot be
denied that if he disguises his true char
acter, and leads her to wait for hini
until other matrimonial chances aro
practically lost she has beeu subjected
to injustice, for which there ought to he
some remedy, even if it bo by way of
punishing him rather than of compen
sation to her. Many women would
never think of seeking rodress for such
a wrong in the courts; yet there niaj
be cases in which they ought to have
tho right to do so. As society is con
stituted, tho prospect of marriago is
more important to the avcrago woman
than any business venture to tho aver
ago man; but it is clearly not so well
protected in law: N. Y. Sun.

A Braln-RaUler.
S.iid a telegraph repairer to a St
Louis Jlcpublican reporter: " The
world speaks of our business in a con
temptuous way, and believes it re
quires no more nerve and ability to fol
low than "that displayod by a smart
monkey or wild cat, but in that opin
ion the world is mistaken. Did it over
striko you that wo are compelled often
to climb poles which arc frail and rot
tcu and likely to snap in twain while
we arc up among tho wires? Well, if
you never know that before, let mo tell
yon that poles often break, and more
especially in the country, where poor
timber is used. A pole once snapped
when I was on it and had I failed to
Eosscss sufficient presence of mind to
ang on to ono of tho cross pieces at
tached to tho wires, I would undoubt
edly havo fallen violently to the ground
and broken my neck. The wires
stretched and let mo down easy, there
by preventing what might havo proved
a fatal accident"
"How about tho electricity in tho
wires, docs that trouble you to any
great extent?" was asked by tho re
porter. "I should remark it did.. It has been
known to knock men off iho poles. As
long as wo handle only ono wire there
is no danger oi onr sustaining a shock.
It is when we touch two wires at the
same time with different parts of our
bodies that we get ugly shocks. 'The
boys all hate a 'brain-rattler' worse
than any other dose."
"What do you mean by a brain
rattler?" "Why, I thought everybody knew
what a brain-rattler was, but since you
ask me to explain, I will endeavor to
tell you what it is. When a man is
working among the wires sitting astride
a cross-piece near the top of a pole it is
tho most natural thing in the world for
him to rub his ear accidentally,. against
a wire white holding another fa his
hand. The' shock 'produced by this
combination of currents is simply ter
rific I have often been shocked in this
way, and I'll tell you it made me feel
as though my head were flying into a
thousand pieces. You now understand
what a brain-rattler is.
"Every man who undertakes to be
come a pole climber must learn by bit
ter experience the dangers he wishes to
avoid. A green man who knows noth
ing about the science of elcctrkatrwill
often aro up info'a network of wires on
a damp day, while the old stagers staad
around and look at him as he squirms
and kicks. This is mean, but we all
-have to go through the same experience
while serving our apprenticeship, ym
know."
"It is not customary to work oa wet
days then, is it?"
" Mo. of courso not I'll tell you it
a fearful contract to undertake to fix a
broken wire on a wet day. I have seen
some of tho boys kick and squirm on
the cross-pieces and yell so loudly
that you wou'd think they had
gone off into spasms. I have
ib my mind ono young man la par
ticular who ' came near breaking his
neck. Ho was what you call ono of
your 'smart Alecks.' It was a damp
rainy dav in September when he went
up ib spfice a wire. As soon as be
reached the first cross-piece he though
he would mako the boys laugh by
performing various antics, so ho sat
astride ono of tho wires near tho polo
and caught hold of .another. The
batteries attached at the rnds of both
wires were heavily charged and he was
so badly shocked that the men were
compelled to go up and take him down
In fact the shock almost killed him.
As long a3 we can hold on to dry wood
tho danger is not so great but
the moment the poles and your clothes
become damp then we must look out
for double chain lightning. At night
I havo seen sparks flying from my
hair when the wires were heavily
charged. The wires, you arc undoubt
edly aware, arc always charged, wheth
er there is a message upon them or not
There fs ono duty polo-climbers are
often called upon to perform which is
hazardous in the extreme and that is
climbing among the wires during a
thunder-storm, when steel-toed light
ning is manouvring about in the at
mosphere. When a wire breaks, we
daro not neglect to repair it a minute,
thunder-storm or no thunder-storm.
Our business, you see, is not the mot
delightful in the world, but for all that
it has its . bright side. We are paid
well, and aro not worked very hard.
To-day, for instance, while it rains, we

A Western Casablanca.
Yesterday afternoon a small lad rode
up and down tho streets trying to sella
little jackass which he was riding.
"How much for this beautiful jackass?"
ho shoutod, at which those along .the
strcot gave a broad smile.
"Is he gentle?" askod a horseman.
"Just like a. sheep," said the boy,
and a moment lator tho animal landed
him clear into the crowd.
"Ain't ho awful funny?" remarked
the boy, as he not up. "Dad learned
him that trick," and there was a smile
on his face that would have done credit
to Grimaldi,
"Oh. ho's a daisy," continued the
lad; "full of vinegar and spirits; can't
tire him out."
Hero tho animal gavo the lad a kick
in tho stomach that Keeled him in tho
mud.
"Always tryin' to show off before a
crowd; I 'learned him that trick for the
fair," continued the lad; trying to sup
press his tears.
Nobody wanted tho jackass, and tho
boy, mounting, rode to the next corner,
where about the same performance was
repeated. All day long he rode up and
down the street; extolling tho gcntlo
qualities of the jackass and picking him
self up from the mud every timo ho was
pitched off. Ho stood up to the racket
with as much fortitude as Casabianca
ou the deck of the burning ship until
he finally got a bid of three dollars for
the jackass. This seemed to entirely
flatten out the boy's grit. Ho was
thrown from tho jackass for tho last
timo, and, turning homeward, left the
animal in the street, ns he remarked:

A Factory (Jirl's Luck.
For a couple of years past a young
frirl of modest mein and considerable
icauty has been employed in the
Bcvenvyek mill at Sandlake. Her
parents" wero poor but respectable
residents of that town, anil tho educa
tion which she received was entirely
through her own efforts. About a year
ago a young druggist of this city began
to "pay attention" to tho comely
young factory girl, and for a timo it
was thought that a wedding would bo
the result. But tho match, if ono had
been contemplated, was broken off by
the relatives of tho young man, and tho
girl for a time seemed very much put
out over the affair. She declared that
sho never j'romised io be the young
druggist's wife, but it gave her pain to
realize that his relatives should deem
her benoath him. A few months ago a
distant relative of the young lady living
in Brooklyn invited her to visit that
city. While thero she became ac
quainted with a rising young banker,
a member of the New York Stock Ex
change. Tho young man was not slow
to discover the fact that the factory
girl was a jewel of tho first wator. Ho
inquired into her ancestry, and learning
that her family were respectablo
people, and thero was nothing against
them but their poverty, he proposed to
her, and after duo time was accepted.
The young lady has returned to Sand
lake, where she is preparing for her
marriage with the New YorK banker.
The event will be celebrated this
month, and the other girls in the
Beverwyck mill, who were prone to ac
cuse their former companion of having
been giveu the cold shoulder by a " pill
maker," now treat her with great re
spect as the promised bride of a rich

"What a beautifully arranged tablo
and what hanibootc articles," remarked
lady to her escort at a fafr la aa up
town church. Tho tabic coalalQrd a
fine array of fancy article. There
were surer-mounted hand -cla c,
carved drvMlng-c3.c. lace neckwear,
jcwlery and other good. " Howtho
ladies la charge must have Worked to
get so many nice things contribstd.
What a marked contract thi. table
present to some of the otHer,', laid
the gentleman. "It will bring the church
quite a fund by itclf." I"he couple
moved on. and a gentleman who had
heard their conversation approached
and Mitl:
"You must excuse tae. but I cannot
help sotting you right ou the ubji?;t
sbout which ou were juit speaking.
That table which you adnurt. and
think will to benefit the 'church, i
what is called a comailasion tabic, and
will not obtain for tho church as much
money as many of the plainer ones.
The good are obtained from regular
business houses at tho current prices.
What are sold are paid for, and what
are not sold ate rulunicd. All that tho
church receives is the coiumLvsion given
by the merchant Thw coiumivioii
sometimes reaches as high as fifteen jer
cent, but more frequently docs not
exceed ton per cent From this you
cau easily 5ce that if a commission tablo
in an evening takes in fifty dollars, the
profit only amounts to five dollars. If
ten dollars ia taken in at ono of tlio
tnbles whuie the goods aru contribute!!,
the church fares doubly as well. Many
ladies like to mako a great show at their
tables', and adopt the commission
method. It is much easier to et'them
this way than to get them for nothing,
or to personally make up fancy articles.
Pcoplo are attracted by the greatest dis
play, ami, as in the present hitaneu,
the lady who has the commi&aiou tab'o
gets greater credit than tho one who
has got her goods contributed, and who
has been to much more trouble.
"l'nirs aro usually gotten up for a
religious or charitable purpose, and the
money expended at them i.s not for thu
articles received, but for the benefit of
the deserving object When a man
spends ten dollars at a commis.siou tablo
he thinks that his money is expended
for this good purpose, whereas nine
tenths of it goes into the pockets of tho
wealthy merchant, who really owns tho
articles until they aro sold."
For the past three years tho system
of selling goods on commission in fairs
has steadily gained ground. Many
merchants sell thousands of dollars worth
of goods in this way. It is considered
a regular source of revenue, and is
courted by many firms, who, iuliddi
tion to receiving a fair price for their
wares, also get a very good advertise
ment Frequently a piano manufactur
ing firm give a -fSUO piano to a fair,
which is rallied for at one dollar a
chance, there being iOO chances. For
this piano the firm gets $:.'50 in c:i!i
aud 2,')0 cluuices, to say nothing of tho
advertisement Other valuable articles
which arc rallied for in largo fair.s aro
often obtained in this way. .V. Y. Sun.
The Earth Drylus Up.
Thero is abundant evidence that tho
amount of water on tho surface of tho
earth has been steadily diminishing for
many thousand of years. No one doubts
that 'thero was a time when the Caspian
Sea communicated with the Black Sea,
and when the Mediterranean covered
the groatcr'part of the Desert of Sa
hara. In fact, geologists tell us that at
ono period the wholo of the earth was
covered by water, and tho fact that con
tinents of dry laud now exist is proof
that thero is'less water on our gloho
now than there was in its infancy. This
diminution of our supply ot water is
goinir on at tho present day nt a rate so
rapid as to bo clearly appreciable. Tho
rivers and smaller streams of our At
lantic States arc visibly smaller than
they were twenty-five years ago, Coun
try brooks in which men now living
were accustomed to fish and bathe in
iheir boyhood havo in many cases to
tally disappeared, not through any act
of man. but solely in consequence of
tho failure of the springs and rains
which once fed them. The level of tho
great lakes is falling year by year.
There are many piers on the shores of
lake-side cities which vessels onco ap-
Iiroachcd with case, but which how hard
y reach To the edge of the water. Harbors
are everywhere growing shallower.
This is not due to tho gradual deposit
of earth brought down by rivers or of
refuse from city sewers. The harbor
of Toronto has grown shallow in spito
of tho fact that it has been dredged out
so that the bottom rock has been
reached, and all the dredging which
can be done to the harbor of New York
will not permanently deepen it. The
growing shallowness of tho Hudson Is
more evident above Albany than it is in
the tide-water region, and. like tho
outlet of Lake Champlain, which was
onco navigable by Indian canoes at all
seasons, the upper Hudson is now al
most bare of water in many places dur
ing the summer. In all other parts of
the world there is the same steady de
crease of water in rivers and lake?, and
the rainrall in Europe, where scientific
observations are made, is manifestly
less than it was at a period within man's
memory.
What is becoming of our water? Ob
viously it is not disappearing through
evaporation, for in that case rains
would give back whatever water tho
atmosphere might absorb. We must
accept the theory that like the water
of tho moon, our water is sinking into
the earth's interior. AT. Y. Times.
The Romantic Story ef a Mine.
The mention in the Star that tho
Mexicans 4tad taken possession of tho
San Feliato mine and driven the Amer
ican company, which was working it
away, recalls to a writer for tho Star
the romantic story told her by a prom
inent New York ph sician in September.
He said that twenty years ago he was
in Chicago, and was called to attend
the death bed of an old Mexican. Tho
doctor remained faithfully at his side
until he drew his last breath, and just
before he died the old man said: "Doc
tor, may God reward you for your
kindness" to me. I have no money to
give you. bnt I can tell you a secret
known to me only, which may some time
prove valuable to you." In a faint
voice he then told of how he had be
come possessed of the knowledge of the
exact locality of one of the lost nrccs
in Mexico, which had not been worked
for more than a century, and he gave
the physician the maps showing ' the
situation, which he had been carrying
about with him, being too poor himself
to use the knowledge for his own ad
vantage, but always hoping to find
some one to buy his Taloablo secret
The phrsiciau thought little of the mat
ter at the time, or until many years
afterward. Within a year ho has been
therewith a partaer and bought the
land where his maps said the mine
would be found without disclosing why
he wanted that tract The mine was
found, hasoeen successfully worked,
and has proved one of the richest mines
in Mexico. JTaAiffto Siar.
There is no permanent care for

growth ef bone around the joist which
cannot be removed and always reasaias
as a source of irritation and I amines
when active exercise is taken. The
only alleviation is by cooling the joist
by cold water applications and then

time, but the lameness will return.
After a tiae when the joist becomes
