The material in . liii-h those remark .ble fossil imprints occur i.s a dark, Siin.l v shale, and to say that the stratum is tilled with plant re mains i.s "ivinif the fact only mild ex pression. The richness and rareness of this plant deposit will tie understood when it is stated that more than one hundred and fifty varieties of speci mens have Intii found, some entirely new to science and such as have never Ih-cii found elsewhere, and all this on an area of only from two to three feet in thickness, from which the super abundance of this early flora may at once Ik- inferred. The first vegetable form that is undeniably that of a mush room was here discovered, and so anomalous was this as to the associated formations that it was made the sul ject of a pajHT read ln-fore the Ameri can Philosophical society. This remarkable locality is not con tent only in vyinjf with the world in the richness and rareness of lxitaiiical finds, but a crustacean of a rare typo is also in the collection from those shales. This is a form allied to Kurypterus. and in honor of I. F. Mansfield, tlie owner and enthusiastic and indefatigable collector of these sH-eimens, t he now fossil creature has Ih'cii called Dol ichopterus Mansticldi. A matter of scientific interest as re luted to tills shale is the fact that the Material that entered into this eannel coal formation was not produced from the IhsI on which it rests, the myriads of plant sjiociiiioiis affording an abund ance of ncjfa tive testimony. Dr. Ncw-ln-rry. a former Ohio state ffeolojf ir,t. has siiffjfesteil that the caiincl coal owes its ori-fiii probably to the drifting of a carl Mn ifcrous mini into some quiet lagoon. l'robably a quiet settling of sedimeiitury matter would K-t-t-r express the prin-oss, for it must have had a most quiescent action that so evenly and jfently pressed down the delicate plant life so as to preserve all the line luiiiutie in the imprint.

I.l ft oil from the Halir, Stuffed with Kill IiI.h anil ICt iirit.-it to the I'imiI. At LofTan. near the mull of llallo way. there is a most interest inf tidal lish Mind. A rent in the cliffs faciiiff the Irish channel admits the salt water through a narrow fissure, protected by a tfrat'mif, into a circular rK-k basin, some thirty feet in diameter and twen ty feet deep. The clitrs rise hijfh all aroiiml; stone stops ilescend on one side to a Icilfc leveled into a footpath at the water's oil ire. No sooner does the visitor's footfall resound on the stairs than the jrreen water, hitherto motionless and apparently lifeless, conies peopled with larfe brown lish. risinr from the depths, plidinjf and ilasliinir about in a jfrcat stat' of ex citement. These are cod. lythe and saitho. which. caurht m linos iu the s.a. have 1-eti transferred to this poinl to In- fattened for the table.

One may witness the strange sijrht of a huire cod, more than an ell lonif, ilanrlel on the knee like a baby, his mouth stutrod with mussels and liiiqiots. after which ho is returned to tlie water with a mifflity splash. On the table those fish, thus tended and fed. prove much lietter than lish broujfht straijrht from the ojh-ii s-a. The Iloetor'a Itah Ironil!M. This is a true tale, and it points a moral. A physician of this city had treated a certain jfeiitleman and was asked the question: "How much do 1 owe you?" "Three dollars," said the physician. I'.ut when the patient drew forth a ten dollar (fold piece the healer looked eiiapfallen, and asked, anxiously: "Have you no chanffe?" "No," was the answer. "Only this and two nickels." "Then irive me the two nickels," said the physician, "for if I take the fold I shall be seven dollars out." The unhappy man had rashly prom ised his wife that all the jrohl taken in by him in the discharge of his calling should be his wife's porquisi-.e. Lou isville Courier-Journal.

In the 'anion of his superb oriental pal nee on the l'rado he had caused a mar ble sepulohcr to Ik- built, litted with iron tloors and furnished with a divan, candelabra aud braziers filled with charcoal. He was wont to retire here i'rom lime to time, but the oilier day failed to reappear, aud on the iron doors leinr broken open he was found lyiiiff on the divan, a.-phyxiated by the fumes of the burninif charcoaL roiNib t-t.trvi iht bicycle. A Kevolulion in strain and Klertric-ity May lie ItroiiKht Aroilt. For many years man has attempted the construction of a suocct-sful road machine to lie propelled by the rider, says the Scientific American. The first sijrns of real success came ill tho appli cation of crank propulsion to the old velocipede. The next development was the introduction of elastic tires of In dia ruliln-r. Then came the last and ffreatest improvement, the pneumatic tire. Meanwhile the projiort ions and details of the machine were constantly chaiifinf. until the wheel of to-day was evolved with its ball bearinjrs. wherever jiossible. and with air-inllatcd tires. Where he has to projn-1 himself, man naturally has done everyl hinf to facilitate the work. The princiyal Warinffs of a bicycle, all except those of tlu- chain "caring, work on hard steel balls, rimniiijr with a ininimumof friction and readily adjustable for end shake. Tho old solid rubln-r tire en abled the avcrajre rider to make hijfh speed: the modern piicmuat ic t ire adds three or four miles an hour more to his rale. Hut while man has effected these improvements whore his own individ ual exertions are concerned, docs it not seem as if he had neglected to extend his iuifeiniity to t he horse, steam and cloetricily-prooll.-d vehicles? An im pression that the bicycle has engrossed all tho time of the const motor and in ventor of improvements in vehicles is create. 1 - the carriage and the rail ear seem await inr their turn. A few solid rubber-tired carriages still fewer puciimal ic-t ircd vohiclos. aro scon upon our roads and streets. The pneumatic sulky used on the race track is a side issue. Koller or ball Wuriiio-s a re a rarity amono- carriares and on railroads. It is tiiiquest ioiiablo that, if it eon hi Ik- done a veritable revolution in steam and electrical trausortat ion miifht In- brought about by the further application of these im provements. It seems absurd to snjf jfest a ateaiii railroad ear on pneumatic tires. Hut lijrht short cars could cer tainly be carried on elastic tires of some kind, which would do away with the irroatcr part of the iioio and inju rious j-.irrintf of iron wheels araiiist steel rails. The friction of ear wheels is rrcat ly diminished by roller or ball beariiu's. Hy every improvement in the direction of prevent injr jarrinir. lightness of construction would bo fa vored. The whole system of trans jH.rtiii(T piissciiri-rs in vehicles op. rate.1 by steam or elect ri-ity is subject to radical moditicatioiis. The rail car, as now used, is open to criticism in many respects. I'ossibly the whole system of operating railroads may vet le changed. Hut it is hard to believe thai the lesson taught by the bicycle cannot U- of u ,e t. t he ra i I road engi neer. Llastic tires, liifht construct ion, almost f riot ionh-ss liearin-s. should have some place in his economy. CHAPERONE FOR A CORPSE.

As his old acqiiailitanccs mot him they ex claimed, simultaneously : "How did you ot.t here? Where did you (fet the clothes? Who's dead?" The actor w aved them away imperi ously. Don't ask questions, now," he cried. "T earned the clothes and I traveled lirsl -class all the way from "Frisco. There's no one dead. I'm just wearillir lhe clothes from a sense of the fitness of timers. Keep it dark, lniys. and I'll tell you. I've Wen eliapt roninjf a stiif. Yon see. it was like this." con tinued the actor. "There was I. out in "Frisco w ithout a red. My trunks were (Tone and my credit at the hold. I hadn't so much as an alternate p ickel handkerchief. I was lie-riimh.tf to think seriously of suicide, w hen I hoard that a wealthy easterner had just died in the hotel, and his friends were look ing for some reliable person to take the lody on east. It is a rule wit h the rail road companies that when a body is shipped the friends must buy two tick ets one for the corpse and one for the person iu charjre of it. Well. I applied for the job and (fot it. The friends of the corpse (rave mo the mourning suit and kept mo supplied with all the erealuro comforts from cocktails to sleepers. There, are worse jobs than a stifl's chaperone." Afterward, when the actor had passed, a manager exclaimed: "How's that for a (rhastly yarn? And yet I know that fellow is tcllinjr the truth. Did you notice none of the other actors seemed surprised at his story? You'll find that lots of actors w ho have played and Ix-cn stranded in the far west have ch.i).-r.iiod a stiff at some lime iu their career. You see, in Den ver and those other health resorts east erners are constantly lyin;f. often the jK-rsoiis have no friends out there, and the relatives are only t. o (Mad to pay some r : p. - table licrsoii for briiijf iii(f the Ixwly home." fiiromfortalde fori-an llouAea.

China, too. claims her remarkable tree. This is known as the tallow tree, so called from the fact of its producing a substance like tallow, and which serves the same puroso, is of the same consistency, color and smell, (hi the island of Lewchew f rows a t roe aliout the size of a common cherry tree, w hioh possesses the peculiarity of chan!fiii(f the color of its blossoms.

It appears that not hinjr can kill this tree: hence it reaches an astonishiiiif afe as well as enormous size.

A dam built at this point would incidentally jmt mit of railroad connection Wtwoen the sister islands.

STEWARD OF AN OCEAN LINER. A l'oaltlom of RennonHlhillty with an Army of Huhorriinatea to O t rnu.. It may surjirise some old frlota trot ters to know that the lii(f ocean prey hounds running between New York and the Kurojn-an jnirts carry on an av erajfe niueteen thousand pieces of sterling silverware for their table serv ice, and that this lar(fe amount of plate i.s handled duriiiff the voyage by from two hundred to two hundred and forty waiters or "stowards'as they are called on shijilMiard. The chief steward is responsible for every piece, says the New York Mail and Hx press. He must le a man of quick jMiwers of observa tion, a student of human nature and W uj to all the little devices of a small army of sulxirdinatcs usually keener ami quicker witted than those found ashore in the same calling. It is a busy day for the steward twenty-four hours In-fore the time set for depart lire. He has jiurchased or contracted for all the supplies and an assistant sees that the contracts are fulfilled. Hut his jmt sonal attention must tc (riven to silver ware. He keejs a regular debit and credit account and can tell to a toot h jiick just what he will start away w ith. On the voyage passengers are apt to lose s)m miiis or forks or other ware by accident, and occasionally a (fay blade may think it amusement to toss a suirar IniwI or half a dozen knives through a port hole. It is needless to say that he furnishes a quid ro quo In-fore he (Tm-s ashore. When the other side is reached the chief steward sjiendsa day in balanoinif aoeounts. He started with so much, and so much should Ik on hand. If there is a differonoe he seeks to find it. and if he can't find it he "makes jf m m1" himself. The rosjMinsi bilily .f such a jMisitioii naturally -oui-manils a hi(f h salary, and every chief steward on every ocean steamship run ning from this jMirt is, without exi-ej-tion, a man of unimjM-achable int-jr-rity. The extraordinary record is that iu thirty years there have Wen but two accusations of a In-trayal of a trust. FAIRY RINGS OF HELENA Theories Advanced a to Their Orlcjla l iiuniii.il In 1-laMteru Muuunm.

There were formerly two of these riii(rs, says the Helena (Mont.) IndcjH-udent. but one has entirely disappeared within the last few years. The remaining- one is alxiut two hundred feet in diameter and forms a perfect circle. The (f round formin;' the circle is alxiut two yards wide and quite destitute of vejrotation. Many theories have Wen advanced as to the cause of these riii(fs. Some say that it is the result of li(flitniii(f; others that a herd of buffalo, pursued by wolves, stopjn-d and formed themselves into a circle as a means of defcudim' their youiiff. and thus tramjM-d out the (frass. These riii(fs have attracted t In attention of scientific men. and recent invcslijrations have shown they are the result of centrifugal develojuneiit of certain kinds of funjri, amonf which is the common mushriMiiii, w hich show s a tendency to (frow in this manner. The sjMit where it has (frown is unfitted for its continued nourishment, and the sjiawn extends outward to new soil, formintf the circle. These riii(fs are common in eastern Montana, aloiio- the Musselshell river, but the one near Helena is the most jM-rfcct in the state. COMPLACENT CHINA.

It is not easy for the outside world to understand that the jMisition of China toward foreigners is one of jdiil osophical coiialoscelition. and that nothing could le more (fenuine than the Chinese sense of mental siiH-riority in dealiii(f with huuiiiu affairs, says the St. Louis I JIo1k?-I K-uiiK-rtit. Dur'uio oiie of the controversies between this country and China aliout imuiirration a Chinese editor Jut the ease in this way: "We must rememWr that we are the oldest nation and that America is one of the youngest.

In the preat carjM-t mills of Philadel phia, where, it is claimed, more carjn-t is made in a single ward than in the w hole of Kii(flaml, the actual competi tion of women with men is a marked feature; in many cases, says Lippin cott's Maazine, they earn equal jKiy f or the same work. In these mills the burlers earn from Si to S10 a week. They work from 7 in the inorninr till 0 at uiht. with half an hour off for din ner. Those who do not live at home can (ret (TimhI Iniard for !?- a week, leav ing quite a lar(fe margin for dress or for savings. It would In of (Treat Wn efit to them if they could acquire the habit of systematic saving, but to this they are generally averse. Some of theiu do save, however, and it is no un common thinff for a mill (firl to save S'H or S4n lie fore marriaire. The first few years of married life are safely tided over lv the united saviii(fs of the couple, and it is unusual for the chil dren not to Wfrin work by the time they are 1. They can earn ?i. 50 and upwards, and this sum, as a rule, (rKs into the family treasury. Thus there will often be live or six bread-winners in a family, and, if thrifty, a neat lit tle sum may Im? laid away. Thrift and economy are, however, rather ex ceptional virtues amoii(f the mill work ers. They eat, twice a day, the most expensive meat (lfi and 18 cents per pound), and pay extravagant sums for early vegetables. HAD A POWER OF ETERNITY.
