The next few moments were agoniz- ing ones for Sedgwick; moments of dead, painful effort that seemed to drain his system to the very dregs of energy and endurance. ’ The blood from his torn hands ran down his wrists into his sleeves as he climbed, and now and .then a drop spattered upon his face. The pitiless sun-rays seemed to be probing his brain, burning out the power of thought and leaving only the coa- sciousness of suffering. Yet in spite of all he kept rising. First with one hand, then with: the other, he grasped the strands above ! the bar. The eye through which the rope ran was close to his chin; it touched. his chest, his thigh. A secand later he got his knee upon it and then his foot. His face was just above: the level of the ground, and the warm fragrance 'of the luxuriant grass was strong in his nostrils. 1 b And now, when deliverance secmed so close, came the most terrible five seconds the botanist ever éxperienced. As he stood on the six-inch rod of steel, his body was turned sidewise so that it leaned against the cliff. He had yet to raise’ himself ‘five feet be- fore he would be on solid ground. The wire rope could assist him, no longer, for its end was fastened round a spike in a @drill-hole level with his ¢hest; and he must get a firm hold a yard higher Before he could safely pull himself up. With bleeding hands ‘he explored the soil among .the grass-roots,” seeking “a place suitable for his purpose. .If.he tried to reach very far from the edge Le could not sink his fingers deeply in the earth, while if he. took hold: too near the brink the turf might pull through and allow‘ him to fall back- ward. ; : 1 2 At last be found a spot that satisfied him, and worked his hands down into tiie ground, regardless of the pain. Then, mustering all his strength, he raised himself slightly. : His feet had hardly left the bar when his right handhold tore out: his left-followed. He slipped back, clutch- ing wildly at the grass-stalks, until his soles touched again the slender rod of steel. There he stood for a moment, rigid with horror, tottering above the abyss. Everything depended on the turn his body took in balancing.. If it swayed inward, all might yet be well: if outward, there was the rugged cliff- side and the pond far below. A grain of energy might turn the scale in either direction, for life or for death. With senses sharpened by the im- minent peril, Sedgwick made a decisive effort. His body swayed in toward the cliff, and the crisis was past! But there was no time to waste. He felt that the next attempt must be his last. Taught by experience, he dug his hands so deeply into the soil that there was no possibility of losing his hold again. A minute later he was lying prone in the tall grass a good ten feet from the brink of the quarry. The spray of pink yarrow is in his herbarium now, and he never turns to the page without remembering tha danger he underwen in securing that particular specimen.— Youth's Companion. Lassoed a Booby, When the gasolene schooner Eclipse was half way across the channel from Kaul Monday night a large’ booby bird lighted upon tha jibboom:. Mr. Hartman, the first - mate, crept out with a lassoo and on the second throws= ing captured the bird.

The booby is distinguished from the gooney in being entirely white, except. ing the wing tips, which are jet black. This specimen was a fine one, having a wing spread of six feet. It resented the approach of the sailors with vicious snapping of mandibles and squawking like an- angry goose. The bird ap- peared to be tired out when it rested upon the vessel, and the supposition of the Eclipse officers was that it had been blown away from Laysan Island by a westerly gale.—Honolulu Pacific Commercial Advertiser. —— A Lemarkable Competition. One of the most extraordinary com- petitions which have ever taken place was attempted the other week in Bal- timore. Six unhappy creatures were placed on a platform, each of them op- posite a grand piano, and a prize was given to the performer who played the longest at a stretch. It was not neces. sary that the six performers should give the same music, so long as they rendered “what the program calls “in- telligent music” it was considered sat- isfactory: The winner played fifty hours. He lost four pounds in weight, and had to be attended by several doc- tors on the conclusion of the perform- ance. The most striking fact is that five members of the audience sat it out.—Baltimore Amo=rican, Highest Waterfall in the Werld, The highest known waterfall in the worid was the Cerosola Cascade, in the Alps, having a drop of 2400 feet.

The only way we can comprehend the greatness of the “big trees” of Califor- nia without actually seeing them is by comparing them with things of every- day life. Imagine one of these trees being transplanted to the corner of Fifth avenue and Broadway, New York It would make the Fifth Avenue Iotel look like a cottage, and if the largest tree now growiny on Manhat- tan Island were placed on the top of the Flatiron Building, it would still be in the shade of the big tree’s upper branches. General Walteuffel stated not long ago that if he could have had dne of-these big trees to throw across the Pei-ho River upon the arrival of the international army, it would have served as a bridge across which he eculd have marched the entire 30,000 men into Pekin in forty-five minutes. It is estimated *hat scme of these frees contain 750,000 feet of lumber, and we may get an idea of what this means when we hear that it would make a board fence six feet high and twenty-four miles long, or that it would supply enorgh telegraph poles to sup- port a line of wires running from Kan- sas City to Chicago. If the tallest elm tree you know of were cut down and bent into. a circle, it would just about make a ring to fit the base of one of the big trees. But it is not their size alone which makes these giants so impres- sive; their age is still more remarkable.

Utilizing the Dead Sea. It is believed that before very long the Dead Sea will be exploited for in- dustrial purposes. French engineers are at work on three different projects with this purpose in view. The level of the Dead Sea being more than 1300 feet below that of the Mediterranean and Red scas, it is thought by connect- ing cither of these twe seas by means of a canal with the Dead Sea, a stream of water would flow with a velocity calculated to produce some 25,000 horsepower. There is danger, it is asserted, of an overflowing of the Dead Sea, for the waters there evaporate at so great a rate (6,000,000 tons a day) that the incoming waters would make no appreciable difference in the level. One project is to start the canal frem the Bay of Acre, lead it southward past Mount Tabor, and let it join at Baisan, the waters of the Jordan. An- other plan is to build the canal along the railway line from Jaffa to Jerusa- lem. But this would mean blasting a tunnel of some thirty-seven miles through {tbe mountains of Old Judea. The third project, the cheapest, pro- poses to start at Akaba, in the Red Sea, and pass through the desert of Wady-el-Jebel. Having obtained power in.this manner, it is thought many in- dusgrial works will he carried on.— Loi8on Daily News. & Radium as a Pain-Killer. United States Consul General Guenther, of Frankfort, writes as fol- lows: Dr. Darier, of Paris, describes a gase of cancer of the face which, through application of radium, had befar rendered painless. Kimilar re- sults have been obtained by other noged experts. He has also found 4 quik and pain-killing effects of radium in Gertain diseases of the eye. The infigence of vadium upon the motor nerve centres he considers of still gredter importance. In two cases of nervous spasms, which occurred three or four times a week, weak radium preparations were applied to the tem- ples for two or three days, when the spasms ceased. In a case also of pre- sumptive inability of motion, caused by nervous debility, radium effected a complete cure within three days--pro- ably, however, through suggestion. In acute facial paralysis of entirely new origin, radium effected a cure in one Samples of weak radio-activity are now rather inexpensive, so that other physicians are enabled to verify these results. Butted In at the Wedding. Land office regulations unfeelingly “butted in” on the plans of Cupid the other day at Waurika and stopped a wedding. Samuel Mosler, a home- steader of that vicinity, has arranged to wed Mrs. Mitchell, a buxom widow, who had but recently made her final proof before the local court commis- sioners. Just before the ceremony was performed word came that a wit- ness’ failure to properly sign his name had caused rejection of the papers by the Interior Department.
