One of the striking things about the Bible as a single piece of literature Is the variety of Its literary forms, suffi cient, indeed, to appeal to the most widely different tastes. There are ex cellent examples of the short story all through the historical books. such as the absorbingly interesting account of Joseph sold into slavery and afterward elevated to a position next to Pharaoh himself and the intensely realistic story of Paul's shipwreck. which. were it not too well written. might be an ex tract from some book of adventure. The books of which many of these short stories form a part constitute a body of most intimate and fascinating tribal and national history. Wedged in between two of the historical books a we find the story of Ruth. a "prose idyll," as delightful as any of which profane literature can boast. The -s Book of Esther. though not in form a I drama, has a plot of dramatic power, In which Haman. who Is raised to tri imphant satisfaction at. the thought of hanging Mordecai upon the gal lows, .becomes himself the victim of his own vengeance. At the end stands that wonderful Apocalypse. which is at once an in spiration and a mystery. full of beau ty and rich cadences. Interspersed among all the narratives are delight fplly suggestive descriptions. some times presenting to us the simple life of the shepherd. again the luxurious surroundings of Ahasuerus' court. It is. not strange, therefore, that the Bible makes a strong intellectual appeal to lovers of literature and to men of un trained tastes.-Edgar F.

"Did you not fur nish a special train for the funeralE of President Harrison?" "Yes." said the superintendent, "sand If you'll bring your fatner In that condition you shall have the best train on the road." _ Genius and Work. Men give me credit for genius.

A Remarkable Process Known as the -Calorie Paradox. Freezing Is usually associated with :old, but water can be frozen on a red lot plate. This pretty experiment has 'ghtly been called the caloric paradox. If a drop of water Is placed on a red lot or white hot metal plate It does lot suddenly flash into steam under :e influence of the great heat. It does lot even boll. It simply evaporates nietly and slowly as It rolls about the >late. Now, suppose that the drop on he plate Is a volatile liquid like suil hurous acid. It will evaporate, and his evaporation will produce cold. Let drop of water fall in the sulphurouis ed drop and It will be frozen in spite f the heat. 4. Boutigny thus froze water on a vhlte hot platinum capsule. Faraday 'arried this remarkable experiment ' yen further. Pouring some ether and olidiied carbonic acid gas on a red ot platinum capsule, he formed a pheroidal mass which evaporated very lowly. He then brought some mer 'ury Into contact with it. and this was nstantly frozen. Now, mercury re uires a t ~ - -~ LOW CUT SHOES. Just received a very com -rhtnuive lu' of - --I 5 snappy stylus.
