But instead of beholding the faces of the men they so foudly hoped for they saw thoir own. "We can see nothing but our own faces," said one.

In tho laboratory the growth of a plant may bo rendoral visiblo by attaching a fine platinum wire to tho stem or grow ing part The other end of tho wire, to which is f astcued a pointed piece of char coal, is presutd gently against n drum. The drum is covered with whito paper aud kept revolving by clockwork. Of course if the growth is stationtrry a straight line is lmukod on tho paper, but evou the slightest increase is shown by the inclined tracing on tho paper. , By a simple, moditicatiou of this ar rangement tho growth of a plant can I ho rendered audible. Tho drum must ho ; covered by narrow striis of platinum foil, sny one-eighth of an inch wide and , ono-eighth between each strip. If the strips of platinum bo made to complete tho circuit of a galvanic bot t tery to which an electrio bell is coupled up, then the boll will onutiuue ringing : whilo the plant grows on eighth of an 1 inch, , followed by silence while the I pointer is passing over the space between two strips, for tho next growth of an eighth of an inch, and so on.

CHINA'S GREAT IMPERIAL SEAL. It, r Annm I'niler I'rrnrh lltotcctlnn Ic stroyed llvr IIaiIko of Hvrvlluilo. Among the many unin.no curiosities in M. Jules Pntcnotro's col lection at the French legation nt Washington is nn imprint of tho great Chinese imperial seal. The loss of tho original die which tho imprint represents wns one of the greatest disappointments in tho caveci of this clever diplomat. Ho wanted it for his collection, but tho orientals were a littlo too many for him that time, nud this is how it happened: Tho French had been carrying on t';o war in Tonquin during tho early parr of 1884 and finally succeeded in forcii c China to surrender her claim ol ! .:: raiuty over the cmpiro of Anion in ( i Vor of a French protectorate. All Hie Itato doenmejits of tho Anamite up to this period bad not only borne the ra tional seal, but likewiso thoinipn .l seal of China, pm n mark of vnv:il:t; When, on June 0, 1884, however, Pate no! ro obtained tho sifjnnturo to the treaty giving Anatii over to (ho pvoti-c-tion of France, tho great Chinese seal wns brought ls-foro tho convention of Aiiamii ' siatesincn and French ollici rs nud diplomats. M. Pateiiotro in his re port to tho homo oflieo descrilicd tho scene as follows: "Wo took out seats nhout a lunjo ta bio iu tho parlor of the French re-i-dence. Thero were naval ofiieers from Admiral Courls t's fleet ami several ufll cers from tho French garrison at Hue Tho groat seal was laid upon tho table. It was 5 inches S'innro nud made of f ol id silver, weij;hih.,' ubuut 111 pounds. Tho handle represented a camel kneel ing. "Tho Anuniito primo minister made a number of impressions from tho seal, nnd whilo this was douo servants were preparing a small charcoal furnace nt ono end of tho room. The Anamites Wero preparing to destroy tho seal. 1 leaned over to tho primo minister nnd told him that it was not yet too Into to savo this interesting relic, and I liegged him not to coutngu it to tho crucible. Ho hesitated a moment nnd then held a brief consultation with Ngnyeii-Vnn-Tuong, tho regent Tho latter shook his head nml said that tho last token of An Bin's servitudo must bo destroyed. Five minutes later tho great seal was nothing but a mass nf molten silver. " And that is why there is only uu im print of the seal in tho French embas sador's collection instead of tho heavy silvor, oauiol handled clia Now York Sun. Mixed Juried, It seems to mo that iu most cases tho perfect jury would be ono inndo up of men and women in equal numbers. The fundamental idoa of the jury is that it affords a good avcrngo opinion on tho case before it, and that this average is more lively to approximate justico than tho decision of any number of legal ex perts. In view of the admitted differ ences between the mental operations of men and women, would not tho intro duction of the latter into the jury box givo a juster average of human senti ment thnn is secured under thy present system? Thero is another consideration, less important in theory, but probably of great practical value. Hunger and thirst and impatience of confinement often drive tho musculino jury to decisions which must cause the goddess of tho bandaged eyes to shed copious tears be hind tho voluminous folds which secure her impartiality. By her established in differenoe to crenture comforts woman would raiso the moral tone of juries nnd compel decisions on nbstract principles. When a protrncted session was in proR- pect, sho would first make up her mind and then tako out her embroidery and wait for the other jurors to como nround to her posjitou. Kute Field's Washing ton. A roculisr Flih. "There is a species of fish in the In dian ocean which have a very remark able peculiarity, " snid Thomas O. Tal bot Philadelphia naturalist "This fish is provided with a short suout, which it uses very much as a sportsman uses gun. Swimming close beneath the surface of the water, it watches the flies flitting about directly overhead, and having selected one to its fancy suddenly thrusts its head out of the wa ter and with unerring marksmanship discharges several drops of water at its victim. Confused, and with its wings drenched and rendered temporarily use' less by the watery projeottles, the insect drops to the surface of the water, where it is immediately nobbled up by its vo racious enemy. These fish are said to be able to bring down a fly in this manner from the height of two or three foot " St Louia Globe-Democrat Wot l.tloiilhble.
