It was a little studio, quiet at the top of tbe house, upon the eaael that oocQpiod tbe post of honor in the miillo of the room, a large piooe of canvas glowod with the soft tints of a spring landscape, and Frank Seymour stood before it, pallot in band, his large brown eyes dreamy with a sort or inspiration. In a comfortable easy chair, by the door, sat a piump, rosy, little female, in a lace cap with plenty of narrow wmte satin ribbons nut tering from it, anij silver gray pop- lm dross, Mrs. Seymour, in fact, our artist's mother, who bad just oome up from tue very basement "to see bow Frank was getting along." "Here, mother,' said the yonng man with an enthnsiaetio sparkle in bis eyes, "just see the way the sun set light tonobes the top most braoohos of the old apple tree. I like the brown, subduod gold of that tint i it somehow reminds mo of Grace Teller's hair.' Mrs. Seymour moved nnoasily in her chair "Yes, it's Tory pretty but it strikes me, Frank, you are lately discovering a good many similitudes between Miss Toiler and your pic tures. Frank langhod good hnmorodly. "Well, mother, she is preety.' "Yes I don't deny that buo ain't pretty enough.' "Now, mother, what's the moan- ing of that ambiguous tone t' de manded the young artist, pleasantly.

Seymour, sharply. "Well, then, if yon are not satisfi ed with my desoriptien of ber as the is, would yon like to koow what he will be V "Mrs. Seymour looked puzzlod. ''Mother, I tliiuk one day sho will be my wifo." "Frank I Frank 1 are yon crazy ?' "Not that I know of,' said Mr. Seymour, composedly squeezing a little deep blue eye oa bis pallot out of a dainty tin tube, and mixing it thoughtfully. "We know to little about her,'' thought Mrs.' Seymour.

Our planet is not a true globe, be cause of its former nlastio condition before the formation and cooling of tne surface, wnen tbe globe was soft it was more or less yielding, and then the rotation of Die earth to which I have referred tended to drive off, as it were, the matter in the equatorial regions i so that tbe distance through the centre of the earth between tbe two surfaces as far as possible removed from the poles of rotation, or those parts of tne sartu wuicn ibat Imaginary axis comes through, is rathor groator than the distance betwoon tbe two points where the axis coraos to tbe surface. The reason of that fact, and that it must have been so, has boon beautifully established by several experiments. That the earth was onoe hotter than it is now is there fore proved, both by the irregular ities of its surface, and by Its shape as a whole. We must not imagine, however, that there has boon but one change. The minor irregulari ties are au gradually changing by inner energies, the action of the air and water, and it may be that even tne largest ones are young, com pared with the age of the planot's surface. Nor does the change end here i the equatorial protuberance itself may but after all mark a point in a great cycle of obaogo, whiob has compelled the earth to rotate now about one axis and now about another. Mathematicians consid er it highly probable that tho axis of tbe earth may bave been in an cient times very differently situated to what is is at present, and indeed, that "it might have gradually shift ed through 10, 20, 30' 40, or moro dogroos, without at any time Any preceptiblo suddeu disturbance of eitbor land and water." Thus it ap pears that nature prevents catas trophes by the very hugoness of the scalo ou which she works. Nor man Lock year in Qool Words. Are You Gaining.

The departure of an ocean steam er is always an event of considerable importance. For several bonrs be fore the time of sailing tho dock is crowded with baggage, pooplo hurry ing down in carriages, mon and wo men rushing along on foot, passen gers and their friends crowding on board the vessol, the wholo making a perfect pandemonium of noise and confusion. Oa the morning of our departure in addition to all this nature was weeping most aounuant ly and constantly evidontly, sympa thizing with tbe friends oftho trav ellers Tbe balf hour boll sounds and the crowd on the stoamor begins to les sen and that on tho wharf to increase. Tbo ten minulo bell only adds to tho confusion and at tbe last mo ment tbo shore people on board the stoamor rush frantically off, the bridge is . drawn, tbo hawsers cast from the pier, tbe engino boginu to move, tbore is a great splashing of the water at the stern of tho vossol, gradually the vast steamer seems to have the breath of life infused into her. and slowly she loaves the wharf amid tbe farewell calls of friends, tbo wavinff of handkerchiefs, the shout ing of tbe crowd, and the friendly whistle of passing steam vessels. The waving of handkerchiors con tinues until we lose Bight of tho wharf, and is kept up still lator by those wboso roalous friends follow them down tbe harbor in tugs. Our steamer boinir a new one and this bor first departure from New York she was escorted down the harbor by several tugs and passenger vossels. These at longth turn back and leave us with a final salute of a cannon and steam whistles, and wo aro Boon op posite tho light ship at Sandy Hook. On tho way down the bay tho paHSongors walk the nppor dock ad mirincr tbo boautifnl fields of Long Island, the greon bills of Staton Is land, and tbe low lying Jorsoy snore in the distnnoo. Many of the pas senger write lotters or postal cards which can bo sont back by tne pilot and will bo tho last that friends can bear from thorn until wo are in Bight of tho Irish coast. Just outsido of the light ship wo bogin to feel tbo ocean swell and the great steamer risoB and falls n a way that makes many iooic wun doubt iuto the future Soon somo of tbe passongers quietly and with out rotnark go down to thoir state rooms while others sit upon tue up per deck, in a thoughtful meditative way until gradually a paleness stoats ovor their faces, and aftor an hour or so tbey quietly dissappoar below. Others of a resolute naturo wuo bavo determined that as for them thoy will sot be seasick, walk rapidly up and down the deck fighting in vain tho crim monster who is literally clutching thoir vitals. Exporionood sailors and thoBo who are not at all affeoted by the sea, lounge leisurely about and enjoy the fresh breeze and tbe discomfort oi tueir nniortunate fellow passengers. By tbo time the steamer has been out two hours and the land has dissappoarod from sight tbe dividir g line between those . . . . i i ii i. wno are to oe biok nau woio wuo are to stand tbe voyage, is fairly drawn. If the weather is at all rough, balf tbe passengers will not be at tbe table the first meal and some will not be seen at all during the passage. For seasioknesB there is no permanent or sure core. What relieves! one does another no) good, but forced contribution to the Atlan tic are a general relief to all who are affeoted. Onr vovatfo was a vory monoton- ous one having fog and quiet weath er nearly all the way. Onoe, on the banks of riewiounoiana tne mono tony was broken by running down a fishing smack from Beverly, Mass., which was anonorea curecuy across our course. I can never forget bow wildlv the fishermen ran to the stern of their vessol as the black bull of the steamer suddenly appeared to rush out of the dense fog, bearing down on them directly amidship and scarcely two hundred yards away. Almost instant death threatens them for in less than balf a minute they expect to be run down by tbe steam er. But they are seen from our ves sel and tho steamer is instantly turn ed from her Course, so that only tbe bowsDrik of the fishing smock is cut off olose tan to the bull, and the shattered vessel grate harshly a gainst the iron side of the steamer as we pass along.

Coming on dock at this early hour wo find on all sides of us, in some places loss than one -fourth of a milo distant, tho rugged and abrupt shoro and out lyiug inlands of tho Irish coast, which have for so many conturios battled with tho full force of tho Atlantic. It is a dangerous coast ia a storm, but wo steam along in a quiet sea. and wonder at tho giant mass of black rock along tho shore and ad mire the greon fields and whito cot tages of tho poasants.

By oight o'clock of as lovely a day as Sootlaud ever saw, we are ooming up the broad Firth of Clydo, with the beautiful green bills, and back of them tbe ruggod mountains of "Bon nie Scotland'' visible in tbe distanoo. For four hours we sailed through as fine a stream, with as boautiful shores as tbe sun shines upon, and we do not blame the Sootobman for loving his native land, since we strangers cannot help joining him in its admiration. We reach the har bor of Oreenock at the mouth of the Clyde, whiob is probably tho most important soaport of bootlund. It is constantly filled with steamors of all sizes, more than a hundred daily plying to all parts of the coast and ludeod of the world. Greenock is noted particularly for ship building and sugar refining. Tbore is, how ever, littlo in the Dlaee to interest the traveler, unless be wishes to visit the Watt Institute, established as a momorial of James Watt, tho iuvon- tor cf the steam encrine, who was a native of this place i or if romantio ally inclined ho may wander into the cemetery of tbe old cburoh where Burns' "Hisblund Mary" is buried. After sticking for nearly an hour upon tbe bar at the mouth of tbe Clyde, we finally pass up tbe rivor toward Qlassgow wbioh is 23 miles from its mouth. On the loft is the fine residence and grounds of Sto vena the great ship builder, and di rectly in front of us up tho river the rook and castle of Dumbarton.
