And. indeed, no argument that he could muster would change his reputation for a heedless, j blundering fellow. So looked Reuben | Clay to the world; and how looked the world to Reuben, fatherless, motherless. fed and clothed by Mr. and Mrs. Brown for charity's sake till such time as he could take care of himself? Ever since he could remember, the boy had had an eager interest in everything that crept or flew. Though his zoological tastes were frowend upon, they throve under opposition, and when one summer a college professor came to the village and encountered Reuben in some of his collecting excursions. Reub's vague wishes grew to a resolve. Some day. if he lived, he would know birds aud insects as the professor knew them; and as a necessary step to that end, he would go to college. After his district schcol days were over Reuben lived on at Mr. Brown's, helping in the regular farm work, and doing, besides, such odd jobs as fortune sent in his way. laying up money for the future, and reciting Greek and Latin to Mr. Alison, the minister. Reuben had had one cruel accident that would have turned many boys in (lescair from the chosen path. On a spring morning he had gone in his boat to the village to deposit the first $50 of his savings, and on the way he lost his pecketbook. Whether he had dropped i ir in the water or elsewhere, or seme clever thief had taken it irom him. remained a mystery. It was discouraging work beginning at the foot of the ladder; but there was no other way. Abandoning his purpose never entered his mind. The years came and went, and Reuben was 18, wnen one morning in J\me. to Mr. Alison sitting in his study, a visitor was announced. In the parlor he found a sunburned gentleman in white flannels, who held out his hand, saying: ' I'm l-cre, George; and I've come to ask a favor of you the first thing. My ; coachman gave mo the slip at tire last m'nute. Can't you tell me of some one I down here tha; would do?" And so it came to pass that, almost before he knew it Reuben was established as coachman and general helper to Mr. Ccurtenav, owner of the'beautiful cottage on the hill, who chanced | to be also a college friend of Mr. Alison. "He is a boy with a career before him. I think." Mr. Alison had said. He 1 aa not told all Reub's secret, but had fell it right to say that he was an orphan, working uard for money to start in life. Reuben's skies uad never been so bright. Ccurienav took the whim to offer him exceptionally good wages, and he had large margins of leisure for study. What he liked best was getting to know Courienav, who had taken a liking to him, and let him enjoy for uc first time in his life the familiar companionship of a gentleman. Sometimes he felc as if Courtenay were in vting him to speak o: his future hopes, but this he shrank from doing. One morning they were out in the yacht together. Reuben had improved wonderfully in his new life. He stood straighter and seemed more manly than ever before, and there was a happier look on his face. As he stood by the mast in his blue yachting suit, Mr. C'ourtenay looked at him with something like envy. "If I weren't so fond of myself, I'd like to try being you for a while," he said at last. Reuben laughed. "You'd soon get tired of it. I'm a born plodder, and shall be to the end of my days." "Plodders sometimes come out best in the end," said Courtenay. wistfully. He sat silent for a moment, with a look that suggested not entirely cheerful memories. Then he said, abruptly, "My mother and sister are coming tomorrow. We will meet the boat. "With Dick?' "No. with the pair. Why do you ask?" "We have never tried the new horses on the steamboat wharf, but we know they are restless," Reuben answered hesitatingly. "I think Dick would be safer." Courtenay was on the verge of an impatient reply, but he suppressed it. "My mother likes spirited horses, vcu and I will be on the front seat, and I think we can manage the blacks between us." Clearly Reuben's only course was to obey. Morning came, and the faultlessly groomed horses were brought punctually to the door. Courtenay took the reins, and the horses trotted steadily over the road to the wharf, and stood quietly while the steamer swung sickly up to the pier. You see they are lambs." said Courtenay, as ne nanaea tne reins tc Reuben, and went to find his guests. He soon returned with the ladies and put them into the carriage. "I'll hold them while you look up the luggage," raid Courtenay, taking the seat and handing tne checks to Reuber.. Reuben turned away and was busily re-arching for the trunks, when suddenly the shrill whistle of the steambeat sounded. With one fiery leap upward the frightened horses started at full speed, cleared the wharf and tore down the road, Courtenay's utmost strength being powerless to control them. The hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle 1= often a great convenience. Reuben sprang irern the end of the wharf and dashed up the bank just in j time. He flung himself at the horses' ! heads and allowed them to drag him j while he clung to the bits. They I I swerved, but scon slackened, and finally stopped at the summit of a long hill, down which neither Mr. Courtenay nor the ladies would have greatly elished driving just then. it was a p^or lino creature that dropped by the roadside when the horses stopped, and one foot dragged | helplessly as Courtenay put him in the carriage. The next time Reuben opened his eyes he was in his room, with the doctor bending ov- 'm. And now came a long time of lying still, waiting for the injured ankle to grow strong. This was a new experience for Reuben the hardest he had known. But for Courtenay's sake he tried to make light of it and keep a cheerful face.though it seemed as if all his dreams and hopes were hanging in the balance. The doctor would not answer for the result unless the injured foot had perfect rest for an indefinite time?a sober outlook for a boy with Reuben's plans; and. in spite of his efforts. he grew dull and listless, and lost the elasticity so necessary for a speedy recovery. Courtenay's remorse and uneasiness were increased by this state of affairs. One evening, as he stood by Reuben's sofa, he said: There's no use denying it: you have something on your mind, young man, and you must tell me what it is." Reuben could not easily tell his plans, even to so kind a friend as Courtenay had proved: but. having made a beginning, it was a relief to go on. and he told all. from his boyish dream of an education down to the present moment, not omitting the loss of the $50. "So that is all that troubles you." said Courtenay. "Why, that is a matter that a stroke of a pen caq set right. 1 was afraid it was something serious." "But I don't want to borrow." answered Reuben. "It is easy and interesting laying up for by and by. but a debt fastened round your neck is a different thing." Courtenay sat down by Reuben. "Nobody said anything about borrowing." he said. "But you are just going to college as soon as you can possibly fit: and you are going to be man enough to let me help you, and throw your scruples to the winds. You know why you are lying here. You are somefA ma " WW AUV. In a few days a college tutor took up his residence in the house: and. when he had examined into Reuben's acquirements, he said there would be no difficulty about getting ready by October. Greatly to Reuben's satisfaction, the doctor thought the ankle woitfd be strong by that time if all went well. So Reuben worked on his sofa in good cheer. The hope and will that had been wanting before were now thoroughly awake, and from the day of his opening his heart to Courtenay he seemed a new creature. One sultry afternoon in August, Mr. Brown appeared at the Courtenay cottage. He had with him a queer bundle wrapped in a newspaper, which he handed Reuben, saying: "Perhaps ycu can throw some light on this. I can't. I was harvesting potatoes this morning and I found this in one hill, it doesn't belong to any varievy mac 1 m acquauueu wuu. auu I brought it over as a curiosity to show you." And there in a nest of potato rootlets lay the lost pocketbook. With eager ringers Reuben cpened it. The stout leather had guarded the treasure well. Discolored and clamp the bills certainly were, but quite recognizable and fit for redemption. "Came out very well this time. Reub, and no mistake.' said Mr. Brown, when he had heard tne story of the loss. ' But I wouldn't risk it again. Next time you have $50 to take care of, I wouldn't deposu it in the potato field, for the chances are you might not always be so lucky." Courtenay walked down the avenue with Mr. Brown as he went away, and they spoke together of Reuben's plans. "I'm glart you're going to give him a lift," said Mr. Brown. "It'll save time for him; but Reui) would have done it himself somehow. It's in him. When he onco made up his mind it was never any sortof use to contend with him; whether 'twas a tough stump in a pasture or a contrary horse or what not, he never gave up till he'd mastered it. I've seen considerable many sorts of boys in my time," he concluded, "and Reub is the sort that gets there. You mark my words, the world will near from Reub one of these days."?Christian Register.

The spider shields itself in winter by ( a weather proof covering of silk, but some kinds come out for an airing oc- ' c casionally, and even take a scamper . A across the snow. The trap door spider passes the entire season deep in the ground in his winter house of spun silk. Take a fragment of wall paper sus- * pected of arsenic and put it into a so- ' lution of ammonia.

Professor Vines of the British asso- ( ciation expressed recently his regret | I thfct the century had closed without < bringing a solution of the much dis- * cussed question of the ascent of sap. ( One of the suggested explanations, he i said, requires that in a tree 120 feet . s in height the transpiration of force must equal a pressure of 3G0 pounds | : to the square inch, but there is no ! evidence that anything like such a j force exists in a tree. This is one of the problems in science that the 10th 1 century has bequeathed to the 20th. All snakes hibernate during the . inter and are in so torpid a condition during the period that they breathe seldom during the 21 hours. Small ones seek for their winter refuge rotten stumps, hollow or partially decayed logs. Larger ones hide in holes in the ground and in crevices in rock. Brought under the influence of a fire 1 they revive, but usually die aft', rward as a result. The turtles, too, Ireathe seldom while dormant. The land varieties burrow under hollow trees, where there is an abundance of loose j mould, in order to escape the frost. The water turtles retreat into the mud. The direction of the rapidly rushing torrent of air in the region of the highest clouds is found at each station to be due eastward across the United States, and foreign statistics indicate that it continues thus around the entire world. If caught in this upper current of air an airship or balloon would continue to circumnavigate the world. The ashes from Krakatoa, the volcano, continued around the earth for several years, and produced wonderful sunset effects. One of the disadantages of motor driven ambulances has been that they do not get the right of way as easily as horse driven vehicles. The familiar clanging of the ambulance gong and the sound of the clattering hoofs of the,horses was always sure to clear the way promptly for an ambulance. Now the ambulances have | been provided with electric lights j which do not differ materially from j those which other electric vehicles carry, and the result is that trucks or wagons do not get out of the way as quicklj'. It has been suggested that compressed air whistles or. larger j gongs might be used. A return to the. i old foot gong would probably obviate I the difficulty to a certain extent. Electricity on Modern Kattlesliip*. Captain Folger of the Kearsarge says that electricity doess nearly everything on that battleship except to call the roll and scrub the decks. Sixty different motors of 480 horse powei; and 350 kilowatts furnish power for every device that was formerly operated by steam. The ship is wired on the three wire system, so that the motors can be operated at two voltages?160 and 180?which is analogous to the use of 160 and 180 pounds of steam. On the previous group of battleships?the Indiana, the Massachusetts and the Oregon class?the motors are only 96 horse power aiyl 72 kilowatts. On English ships the use of electricity is still confined to incandescent lights, searchlights and signal apparatus, but upon the Kearsarge and the Kentucky steam pipes are almost entirely abolished. All this makes it necessary for the officers and sailors of the navy to have a thorough knowledge of the electrical science. and schools of instruction, both for officers and enlisted men, wfth electrical workshops, have been established at Newport and at the navy yards in New York City, Boston. Norfolk and San Francisco. Frictional Effect of Train* on Air. An exceptionally important paper dealing with the frictional effect of railway trains upon the air has recently been published by the St. Louis Academy of Science. This inxestigation was undertaken by Professor F. E. Nipher, at the request of a leading railroad, and was the sequel of a lawsuit in which the railroad was defeated. In the case referred to a boy, standing near the track, was overthrown by a rapidly passing train, rolled under the wheels and killed. The evidence showed that he was not struck by the train, but was overwhelmed by the air ; suction and dragged under. The supreme court of Missouri, however, repudiated the evidence of two leading scientific men as to the probability of j death being caused in such a way, and denied, by inference, the possibility of such effects, with which everybody who has ever stood by a fast moving train is familiar. The investigation showed, as a matter of fact, that with trains going at the rate of 40 miles an hour, there is an inward pressure of the air of from four to six pounds per square j foot at a distance of 30 inches from the train, and that still air is reached only at a distance of many feet. A New Source of If? bber. A process for extracting rubber from the hule plant has been discovered by a Mexican living at Sierra Mojado, and a factory for this purpose has been established at San Luis Potosi. This plant is a species of sagebrush, with small leaves, which grows to a height of about three feet and is found not only in Mexico, but also in Texas.Wyoming and Nebraska. It grows in mountainous regions, and is said to contain ; 40 percent of rubber. The plant is first1 cut up by machinery and then mixed ; with certain chemicals in a steam jack- j eted tank. The product is then sub- j mitted to hydraulic pressure and run ! into a setting tank, where the chemi-! cals and other waste substances are 1 drawn off from tne Heavier gum. ?uuu settles at the bottom of the tank. The accounts furnished do not mention the quality of the rubber produced, but they state that while the cost of pro- j duction is slight the high cost of trana-' porting the material is a serious diffl- j i culty.

Louis Lefranc of Bosc-la-Hard, in France, is said to have invented a process by which he can render wood, in small pieces, just as elastic as rubber. lie will exploit bis invention for the manufacture of elastic wooden stoppers.
