DEATHWATCH BEETLES. * 'heir Tapping Stands For Courtship and Not For Warning. Mucb mental anguish could have beeu saved to past generations and (some not so very far past if people bad known I bat I lie mysterious tap ping of Ibe "deathwatch" stood for courtship and not death. A writer in the Scientific American explains that the various species of the beetle unobi uui and their bigger relatives of the genus xestobium not ouly attack furni ture, but so completely riddle the whole woodwork of old bouses by their borings as to render the structures un safe. Indeed, a beam that has been tenanted by these insects for a num ber of years is little better than an outer shell containing a mass of wood dust. The xestobluui is the common deathwatch. while the anoblutu also is in the habit of making a tapping pound. The nocturnal tappings of these In sects, distinctly audible in a room where there is an otherwise complete absence of noise, has for many centu ries been regarded by the supersti tious as a warning of the approach of death. This uncanny Interpretation of a riiysterious sound is scarcely surpris ing when it Is remembered that only In recent years have naturalists dis covered its true cause. The little beetle has been found In some Becluded spot, jerking Its hard head at regular intervals upon the sur face of the wood beneath It. So far as can be told, its rappings constitute a kind of courtship ritual. Obviously they have no connection with the lat ter end of mankind. A RAIN OF FIRE. The Great Meteoric Shower That Scared Folks In 1833. In Scharf's "Chronicles of Baltimore" there la a vivid description of the star ry hailstorm, the Bery meteoric show er, of 1833, and old files of newspapers are made luminous at that date with the Impressions of editors and contrib utors. One writer said It was the grandest and most cbarndng sight ever presented to the vision of man. Awak ened from sleep, he sprang to the win dow, thinking the house was on Are, but when he looked out he beheld stars, or fiery bodies, descending like "torrents." The shed "In the adjoin ing yard to my own," he wrote, "was covered with stars, as 1 supposed, dur ing the whole time." Professor Oltn stead of Yale college thought that the exhibition was the finest display of celestial fireworks that had been wit nessed since the creation of the world, although be, too, while knowing its character, was sufficiently imbued with the theological spirit of the time to believe that it was a solemn portent that carried a divine warning. One editor whose comment upon this phenomenon was probably more quoted thau any other he ever made said: "We pronounce the raining fire which we saw on Wednesday morning an awful type, a forerunner, a merciful sign, of that great and dreadful day which the Inhabitants of the earth will witness when the sixth seal will be opeued. Many things occurring in the earth tend to convince us that we are now in the latter days." Dreams of Genius. An Interesting book might l>e written on the subject of the dreams of genius. Stevenson maintained that much of his work was ouly partially original. His collaborators were the brownies who ran riot through his brain during the hours of sleep. He Instances the case of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. llyde." "I had long been trying to write a story on this subject." he writes, "to find a body, a vehicle for I hat strong sense of man's double being which must at times come In upon and overwhelm the wind of every thinking creature. For two days 1 went about racking my brains for a plot of any sort, and on the second night I dreamed the scene at the window and a scene ufterward spilt In two, In which Hyde, pursued for some crime, took the powder and underwent the change lu the presence of his pursuers. All the rest was made uwske and consciously, although I think I can trace In much of It the manner of my brownies."—l.ondon Cliroulcle. Opportunities and Limitatiene.

"Yes, I'ui dissipating too mucb." said the red faced rustic as he rubbed Ills head despondently. "DissipatingV" gasped bis friend. "That's the word I used. You've beard that expression about 'burning life's candle at both ends?' Well, that's uiy case exactly. To tell the truth,l have beeu having too gay a time.

A successful diver must possess great courage uud uerves of steel. Such a man connected with a large wrecking company wns visiting some years ugo the pearl fisheries In the gulf of California, where sharks abounded. On one of bis trips In quest of the penrl oyster he had a narrow escape from a fearful death. He had been instructed never to stir from the bottom until he had looked up and around. Fortunately he heeded the advice. Having filled bis bag. he glanced quickly about and caught sight of a huge shovel nosed shark watch ing him. In an emergency men think fast. Near tlie diver was a large rock. He moved quickly to the other side of it. hoping to dodge the ferocious monster, but the maneuver did uot work. The shark watched every movement, chang ing his position by a slight motion of his powerful tail. Time was precious, and the diver conceived the idea of blinding the shark by stirring up the mud. Under cover of that he might escape. He worked for dear life and had the wa ter thick with mud In less than half a minute. Slipping around the rock again, he rose to the surface, having barely strength enough to reach the side of the boat, and was hauled on board just as the voracious man eater made a rush for him. Romeo Not Taken Seriously. Juliet was only fifteen years old, but she thought she was quite grown up. One evening, says Mrs. U. A. Pryor lu "My Day." she was receiving on the moonlit veranda a young man caller. He. too, it seemed, considered himself grown up. The anxious youth was moved to seize the propitious hour and declure himself. Juliet wished to an swer correctly and dismiss him with out wounding bltn. She assured him mamuiu would nev er consent. A voice from within—they were sit ting beneath her mother's window settled the matter: "Accept the youug man. Juliet, If you want to. I've not the least ob jection. And let him run along home now. Ite sure to bolt tbe door when you come In." Evidently tbe mother had small re spect for boy lovers aud wished togo to sleep. A Prince Edward Island Legend. There Is a delightful legend among the people of l'olut Prim to the effect that when the English attacked the French fort at that place a chain ball from one of tbe attacking vessels cut the steeple from the old church located on tbe very point. lu falling It toppled over the promontory and carried the bell which It coutalned Into the aea Dwellers along the point altlrui that from time to time tbe aouud of i it l>ell conies over the waters at eventide and (but Its phantom tone Is ever a warn lug of a fierce atorui or some tui ui incut danger to those who reinke their living by the spoils of the ocean.
