English papers havo discovered that
Vienna, Austria, has sot the example
of providing bicycle tracks along tho

cyclists. They advise the municipali

' Finland is the most free and en

cause it escaped absorption by Russia
for so long, and got its political edu
cation from Sweden. Finland ob
tained local self-government by a na

and received a grant of permanent
native laws, like a modern constitu
tion, in the eighteenth. These rights
were confirmed by the Russians after
their sevorel conquests, and have
been sworn to by every Czar, as
Grand Duke of Finland, since tho
final conquest, ninoty years ago. In
defiance of all these oaths, they are
now to be taken away, not because
they have been forfeited by rebellion
or because Russia has hotter institu

Danny Curran,
The Blow Boy. I
:
By Alfred Sumner. jk
A rainy night on the main street of
a small modern city is not at all de
pressing; tho Hash nud glimmer of the
electrio lights on the wot pavements
and the rattle of carriages dashing
through the rain produce a metropoli
tan effect that is very satisfactory to
the passer-by. On this particular
rainy night, a resident of Junction
City, passing the most imposing struc
ture on the main street, would hnre
noticed that the building was par
tially lighted nnd would have inferred
correctly that the quartet of the First
Parish church was holding its weekly
rehearsal.
Iuside the church the quartet wn
preparing to leave. The rehea-sm nad
passed off well aud all were i i good
humor. As was usual, th teuor had
helped tie coutralto iutn nr coat, and
as was usual the organist had helped
the soprano, his wife, into hers. The
bass, young Holwortn, his tall figure
incased in a long light raiu coat.stood
waiting for the others, and was inci
dentally looking at Danny Curran.the
blow boy, who was not a favorite with
the quartet on account of his habi
tually disrenpectful attitude toward
them, and towards musical thing in
general.
There was certainly nothing pitiful
or appealing in Danny's usual attitude
towards the world, but as the young
mnn looked nt the boy sitting with
hands thrust deeply into his pockets
aud head thrown forward, he felt
moved at the other's loneliuess.damp
nees, and general nppearanco of being
at odds with the world. Holworth
was to mako a call later, aud had in
his pocket a very artistic box filled
with chocolate creams. He stepped
over to the boy and held out the box
to him, remarking:
"Here, my son, this belongs to
you. "
The boy looked up with a shrewd,
startled look and said, "Aw.come off!"
at which Holworth smiled, laid the
box on the sent, and moved away with
the rest, nodding a reply to the mut
tered and confused, "Much obliged,"
of the other. '
Five minutes later found him in the
library of a very attractive modern
cottage, seated beside a pretty girl to
whom he wos saying: .
"Well, the mattor stands just here;
Hanuafoid has docided1 to go withiu
two weeks; and at the eud of that
time either Clark or myaelr will hove
his place as paying toller of the Mer
chants' Xationul,nud incidentally, vory
incidentally, you nud I will know
whether our marriage will be in the
liiiindinte or distant future. The place
should como to me, but Clark's uncle
has a very strong pull."
"Arthur, thoy must see that there
is no comparison between Clurk and
you!"
Holworth threw back bis head and'
laughed delightfully.
"I wish yon were on the board of
directors. I have never believed in
women suffrage, but I see plainly that
in this case you would be justice per
souillod." ' For a woek or more Juuotion City
aud its best hotel, the Saint Jumes,
had been the hosts of two investors
and dealers in real estute, M. Ezra
Grayson and Mr. J. Hamilton Fales.
Tbese gentlemen were much interested
iu the thriving city, and had in mind
several lurge reul estate deals there.
They were also large owners iu a
Chicago suburb, oonoerniug whose
growth tky had uulimited faith; nud
rumor, reinforced by au item in the
Evening Bun, hud it that Colouel
Kevous.one of Junction City's richest
men, was much interested iu this di
rection. Two nights following the fjiiartet
reheursal, Danny Curran, the (lay boll
boy of the taint James, was pussing
the room n.umber forty-five, in which
the strangers lodgod, and noticed that
the transom window that opened iut.
tUe Inill was '. being closed. Duuny
curiosity was soused. He kuew that
the room ' adjoining connected with
number forty-five, and two minutes
later be was in this adjoining room,
with bis ear pressed against the thin
connecting door. He could catch
most f the conversation, and its im
port made his heart thump. Fales
was speaking:
"Duoh, this is going to be fruit for
ns. The Merchants' and the First
National do the same. Hnnnnford.tlie
teller at the Merchants', goes to lunch
nt twelve and Holworth takes his
place; aud at the First, the teller goes
at half pnst nnd young Meson takos
his place." There was a pause in
which the speaker was evidently ex
amining a signature, for his next re
mark wns, "It's the best work you
ever did. I don't know Hint Nevens
himself would lmve the norve to dotty
that signature."
Tho talk continued for some time,
and though the boy could not henr all
the conversation and was not fnmillar
with tho methods of a' bank, he was
natnrnlly sharp, and hotel lifo had not
dulled hint. He understood tho pian
clearly. 'gTolonel Novens wns a heavy
depositor in both the Merchants' and
the First National; Grayson had forged
the colonel's name to a check on each
bank, to bo presented when the teller's
substitutes were on duty. Colonel
Nevens wns to bo called to his formor
home in Massachusetts by a bogus
telegram announcing the death of his
brother, nnd with trim out of tho way
for a few days, the plan seemod per
fect. Danuy listened till he had these
facts and then slipped noiselessly from
the room. Ten minutes Inter ho was
in a big arm-chair in Mr. Arthur Hol
wortli's handsome room, talking ear
nestly with that gentlemau, who had
just been perusing what seemed a
most interesting book, the title of
which was "Plans for Modern
Houses."
Holworth listened nt first carelessly
nnd then with the closest attention to
the boy's rapid and slangy utterance.
As Dauuy left tho room at the close
of a long tnlk he said earnestly:
"Now, Mr. Holworth, you has al
ways used me white, nnd I mean just
what I said; uobody is going to know
anything about this by my toll in. "
llolworth nodded nuderstnndiugly,
shook hands with him and said:
"As I told yon, Danny, yon won't
lose anything by this night's work."
'"No, sir," said the boy, and dis
appeared into outer darkness.
The next day shortly after Mr.Han
nnford, the paying teller, had gone to
lunch, Mr. Ezra Grnyson entered the
Merchants' National bunk and took
Lis plnco at the window before Hol
worth, whom he knew slightly. As
he passed over a check for fifteen
thousand dollars, with Colonel Nev
ens' bold signature ut the bottom, re
marked :
"l'ou see that the colonel has some
faith in Chicago's growth."
Holworth nsseuted with a very ner
vous laugh and said:
"How will you have this, Mr.' Gray
son!" "One thousand iu bills and the
balance in a draft ou Chicago, ploaso,"
responded Mr. Grayson suavely.
Holworth remarked that he would
have to get some large bills from the
safe, and as he spoke pressed the but
ton that connected them with the
police station, two blocks away. Ou
his way to the vault he stopped at the
cashier's desk, nnd with a few mut
tered words laid the check down in
front or him. When Holworth came
back to the teller's window with the
cashier at his side, two policemen
stood in the doorway, and after a short
aud stormy scene, Mr. Grayson was
under arrest.
A month later the cashier, Id talk
ing with Mr. Arthur Holworth, hap
pened to re'er to the latter's appoint
ment as paying teller.
"I don't mind telling yot: now,"
said he, "that Clark was booked for
that plaoe; but your lightning work
on the Nevens' signature impressed
the directors too much,"
Holworth smiled and, with trne
modesty, changed the subjoct.
A Historical Anchor.
If the port anchor of tho American
ship W. H. Macy could talk it might
unfold some wonderful yarns. The
tug but ungraceful mudhook swing
ing over the ship's bow was once sus
pended through the hawse pipe of the
United States frigate Cumberland.
When it was made nobody now seems
to know, but iu is more than likely
thnt it heg.tn its career of usefulness
with tho launching of the Cumber
land. It was on the Cumberland in 1861
when the war broke out aud probably
when the .frigate disappeared under
the waters of Hampton roads. Be
tween that day aud the time the
Macy was launched, which occurred
about fiftoen years ago, the history of
the Cumberland's anchor was un
known. "Old Cumberland," as the sailors
oall the big anchor, weighs about live
tons, which is nearly twice as much
as the average anchor used by sailing
cruft. The stock is sixtoeu feet loug
and of solid oak, which is as sound to
day as when it restod on the deck of
the Cumberland. The ring through
which the cable passes is large enough
to admit the passage of a body of a
full-grown man, and the flukes are
just three and a half feet wide. The
ouly.sins of the anchor's paBt now
visible is the name, "U. S. S. Cum
berland," stamped into'' the iron.
Some of the letters are almost oblit
erated, but there is enough left to
identify the anchor. Sau Francisoo

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
Eros is the name selected for the
aewly discovered little planet between
Mars and the sun by Ilerr Witt, the
discoverer, though Mr. H. C. I'hand
lor of Cambridge, Mass., the astrono
mer who has compute I the planet's
nrbit, pleaded to have it called Pluto.
Mr. Chandtor's computation has been
verified by examination of the star
photographs taken at the Harvard ob
servatory station nt Areqniba in Peru.
A writer In Cosmos, M. Emilo Ma
son, argues that tho Fast Indiau du
gong or Inmatin is the natural founda
tion for tho myths of sirens, neroids,
and tritons. A female dngoug re
cently captured in the Red ea has a
head nnd bust which, when seen at
some little distance, might be t.tkoti
for a mrrmnid. The Inmatin has also
a vibrant voice, and these two com
bined make a good base for the theory
which the writer has advanced with a
good deal of elaboration.
Rnnlight, says the Lancet, has a
well-known effect upon the lilo of
pathogenic organisms. Direct sun
light will kill tubercle bacilli in a few
hours or perhaps in a few minutes,
whereas they will live for days if ex
posed to n very strong diffused day
light. The exhilarating effect of a
burst of sunshine in the spring is prob
ably not due to more luminosity, but
to au increased actinic action, a chem
ical action which we cannot very well
explain, but which every one feels.
In estimating, therefore, the value of
a honlth resort, the amount of this
actinic value in the sunshine ought to
be taken into account, no less than the
nnmbor of days upon which the snu
shines during the month or tho year.
The breeding of orchidshas received
much attention in recent years, both
in Knrope and America, with results
of the greatest interest to the natural
history student. Up to 1N(10, states
Mr. C. C. Hurst, but four flowered
orchids, raised from distinct crosses,
wore recorded; in 1ND0, about 20i) had
been enumerated, while there are now
on record no less than 800. Of these
HDD, about 100 are generio hybrids,
the parents belonging toditt'ereut gen
era. About 500 are primary hybrids;
that is, hybrids of the first generation
between two different species, about
270 are secondary hybrids, anil HO nre
tertinry. No hybrid orchid of the
fourth generation has been known to
flower. These experiments have dem
onstrated the existence of natural
hybrids, formerly thought to be im
possible, havo proven that hybrids nre
very fertile, removing an objection to
the theory of thi evolution of species
admitted by Darwin, nnd hnve sug
gested that hybridization lias becu one
of nature's rapid and effective means
of creating new species more fitting
for life titular new conditions.
The progress of the various re
searches in t the origin of malaria,
is a snbject of considerable interest,
and medical men are gratified to hear
of steady advances iu the prosecution
of several investigations. In the pro
ceedings of the Reale Accademia dei
Lincei the work of Messrs. liastianelli,
A. Bignami, and Grasai ia described,
and it is stated thnt they have suc
ceeded in tracing the development of
the semilunar bodies in tho medial in
testine of AuopbeUs claviger kept at
suitablo temperature after these in
sects ha I drawn blood from individ
uals suffering from irstivi-autumnul
malaria. They have also been able to
obtain spring fever by allowing oue of
tho insects to pierce the skin of a per
son who had not previously been
affected by malaria, aud who was liv
ing iu a locality where the disease wns
not experienced. Iu an elaborate
series of researches they have proved
thnt the malarial parasite is an authen
tic case of hetoropcism, w'.iere thennnd
organism appears nnder diffe ont
forms. It is of interest to know that
concurrently with these observations
the life cycle of a parasite of the bat
has been studied, which apparently
undergoes similar alternations of gen
erations, the intermediary host being
an insect. These conclusions are iu
agreement with previous investiga
tions iu the malarial parasites of birds,
aud ore considered substantial addi
tions to the knowledge of the subjects
now possessed by scientists.

ness.
Tho girl had a new piano. She wm
a musical girl, and It was as nice a
piano as could be found. When she
had It properly set up and ready for
use there was probably not a happier
girl. But es she sat down to play a
look of discontent and wonder spread
over her face. It was strange, but
this new piano was certainly out of
tune; certain notes sounded like the
hammering of a piece of Iron. Thnt
would never do; she couldn't play on
a piano like that; she couldn't under
stand It, cither, for certainly that
pleno had a very sweet tono in the
shop. So the piano man was sent fbt
In great haste, and came to see what
the trouble was, very much aston

the piano, and then, turning, gazed
curiously around the room. That Is
a most curious and Impertinent man,"
thought the girl, as she watched him,
his fingers moving over the keys, but
his eyes wandering searchingly from
one piece of furniture to another. Fi
nally he left the piano, went to a stove
In the room, tucked a piece ot paper
under one leg. and went hack to the
piano, when, strange to say, every note
was as sweet and clear and full as
could have been desired, and there
waa not a suspicion of discord. Dur
ing the cold weather a stove had been
placed In the room, and, not standing
evenly, with certain vibrations of the
piano It wns made to move, and there
followed a little chattering of Iron,
which, coming simultaneously with
the striking of tho keys on the piano,
sounded as If that Instrument had pro
duced tho disagreeable sound. "That
Is all right now," raid the man, as ho
