GREAT rati
road depot maj
not be the heat
achool for a
boy, yet poor
little Joe liry-
an liad scarcely
known any other. lie could not re
member when the long waiting-rooms,
with their tiled floors and dreary rows
of stationary settees and crowds of
harrying people, were not quite as fa
miliar to him and mere homelike than
hla mother’s small, bare house, which
he knew os little more than a place lor
eating and sleeping.
At an age when any ordinary baby
might hare been frightened into eon-
mlslons by the shriek of a locomotive,
Joe, securely fastened in his eab,
would stare for hours through the
great window undisturbed by the in
cessant rush and roar of arriving and
departing .trains
He had been only six months old
when the dresdful accident happened
which at one f dl stroke made him
fatherless and transformed him from a
strong, well developed Infant to a piti
ful ssreature, which even death refused
to take.
The old yardmen tell the story even
yet—how young Michael llryau, as
straight and manly a fellow as ever
left his green, old, native island for the
better chances of the new world this
aide of the sea, came whistling oat ot
the roundhouse that morning and
stopped hastily from before an incom
ing locomotive, neither seeing nor
hearing another rushing up the paral
lel track, ilia mates cried out to him
—too late! Nobody who saw it would
ever forget the look of agony which
distorted his handsome face in that
one horrible instant when be recog
nised his doom, or the perpendicular
leap into the air, from which he fell
back beneath the crunching wheels.
In the excitement and consternation
of the' time no messenger had been
sent In advance to prepare the pom-
young wife for her trouble, and she
stood in the doorway with her baby
crowing in her arms, when the stout
bearers paused at her gate with their
mangled burden. 8he uttered a terri
ble cry and fell fainting—the child’s
tender back striking the sharp edge of
the door stone.
"What a pity that it was not killed
ontright,” said everybody but the
mother. She herself always insisted
that only her constant watching over
the little flickering life kept her from
going mad in the first dreadful months
of her bereavement.
When Joe was seven years old his
mother sent him to school* lie went
patiently day after day, making no
complaint, but she awoke suddenly one
night to find him sobbing on the pil
low beside her. Only by dint of long
coaxing was she able to find out the
cause of bis grief. Some of the rougher
boys—more thoughtless than cruel, let
us hope—had called him flumpy, and
naked if he carried a bag of meal on
his baek.
Mary flamed with the fitree anger of
motherhood.
- “Yon shan’t go another dayl” she de
clared. “The ruffians! I won't have
my dartin’ put upon by the likes of
and the occupants ot the cab wrapped
from view in a cloud of smoke.
Some hundred yards beyond the
depot the track took a sharp upward
grade, from which H descended again
to atriko the bridge across a narrow
.bat deep and rocky gorge.
Men looked after the flying locomo
tive and then at each otiier with
blanched faces.
The crowd began to run along the
track, some with a vain instinct of
helpfulness, some moved by that mor
bid curiosity which seeks to be "in at
the death.”
Rut look! Midway the long rise
the speed of the runaway engine sud
denly slackens.
“What does it mean? She never
could a* died out in that time!*' shouted
an old yardman.
Excitement winged their feet When
the foremost runners reached the place
the smoking engine stood still on her
track, quivering in every steel-clad
nerve, her great wheels still whizzing
round and round amid a flight of red
sparks from beneath.
"What did it? Who stopped her?”
The engineer, staggering from the
cab with the pallid face of the fireman
behind him, pointed, without speaking,
to where a little pale-faced, crooked-
bached boy hud sank down, panting
with exertion, beside the track
At hie feet a huge oil-can lay over
turned and empty.
The crowd stared at one another,
opcn-moutlied. Then the trnth flashed
upon them.
“lie oiled the track!”
"Rullj* for Crooked Joe!”
They caugiit the exhausted child,
flinging him from Shoulder to shoulder,
striving with each other for the honor
of bearing him. and so, in irregular,
tumultuous triumphal procession they
brought him back to the depot and set
him down among them.
“Pass the hat, pawls!” cried one.
H had been pay day, and the saved
engineer and fireman dropped in each :
their month's wages Not a tiand in
all the throng that did not delve into a
pocket. There was the crisp rustle of !
bills, the chink of gold and silver coin. |
“Out with yonr handkerchief, Joe! ;
Your hands won’t hold it all! Why, |
young one, what—what's the matter?” i
for the boy, with scarlet checks and '
burning cyen. had clenched botli small
hands behind his back—the poor, !
twisted back laden with its burden of
deformity and pain.
"No! no!” ho cried, in a shrill, high
voice. “Don’t pay me! Can’t you ueo

So Joe’s schooling had come to an
untimely end. Yet, meager as was his
Stock of book learning, the develop
ment of his mind fsr outstripped the
growth of his stunted and deformed
body. Everybody liked the patient
little fellow tugging manfully at hit
mother’s heavy water buckets and
running willingly to every call of the
station men. At twelve years old he
had picked np no small amount of in
formation, especially on railroad top
ics, Be knew every locomotive oa the
road, understood the Intricacies of the
side trucks and switches, and could
tell the precise moment when any par
ticular train might be expected with
the accuracy of a time table.
Yet. the very quickness and ardor of
his nature deepened his sense of his in
firmity. The glances cast upon him by
stranger eyes, some pitiful, some cu
rious, others, alas! expressive only of
annoyance and disgust, rankled like so
many arrows in his heart; not one
missed its mark. Bow wistfully his
•yes followed boys of his own age-
straight, handsome, happy—who sprang
lightly up and down the steps of the
coaches, or threaded their way aloe
the crowded platforms. For one d:
3t such a perfect, nntrammeled life he
would have bartered all the possible
years before him. Yet he never pnt
his yeanlings k . words, even to his
mother.
“Crooked Joe’sarum ’un," said one of
bis rough acquaintances, “lie senses
bis trouble well enough, but he don’t

- Mr. Crump, the telegraph operator,
was Joe's constant friend. It was he
who, at odd moments, hud taught thr
boy to read and had, Initiated hint

in my life—to be a little use—like other
folks?”
, The superintendent had come from
his office. Be laid his hand on the
boy’s bead.
“Joe,” bo said, "we couldn’t pay you
it if we wished. Money doesn’t pay for
lives! Rut you have saved us a great
many dollars besides. Won’t you lat
us do something for yon?”
"You can’t! You can’t! Nobody
can!” The child’s voice was almost a
shriek, ft seemed to rend the air with
the pent-up agony of years. “There’s
only one thing in the world I want,
and nobody can give me that Nobody

The superintendent lifted him and

! “My boy,” ho said, in firm, gentle
tones, “you are right. None of us can
do that for yon. Rut you can do it
yourself. Listen to me! Where is Hie

Ttio Process of Evaporation Releases Water
from tbo Oceans, bat tbe Salt Remains.
Therefore the Sea Is Coatlnoatljr Grow-
Ins More Salty.
Why la sea water salt? is- a question
that has been regarded as ft mystery
and has given rise to some curious specu
lations. hut a little consideration on the
subject must, I think, satisfy ns all that
It wonld bo very wonderful, quite in
comprehensible. if the waters Of tho
ocean were otherwise than salt as they
are.
The following explanation was first
suggested to myself many years ago
when receiving my first lessons in pr.ic-
tical chemical analysis. The problem
then to ire solved was the separation of
the bases dissolved in water by precip
itating them one by one in a solid con
dition. filtrating away the water from
tho first, then from this filtrate prccip-
itating the second, and so on until nil
were separated or accounted for.
But in doing this there was one base
that wds always left to the last on ac
count of the difficulty of combining it
with any acid that would form a solid
compouud—a difficulty so greaftlmt its
presence was determined by a different
method. This base is soda, the predomi
nating base of sea salt, where it is com
bined with hydrochloric acid. Not only
is soda the most soluble of all tho mineral
bases, but the mineral acid with which
it is combined forms a remarkably solu
ble series of salts—tho chlorides. Thus
the primary fact concerning the salinity
of sen water is that it has selected from
among the stable chemical elements the
two which form the most soluble com
pounds. Among the earthy bases is one
which is exceptionally soluble—that is,
magnesia—and this stands next to soda
in its abnndnnco in sea water. •
Modern research lias shown that the
ocean contains in solution nearly every
clement that exists upon the earth, and
that these elements exist in the water in
proportions nearly corresponding to the
mean solubility of their varions com
pounds. Tims gold and silver and most
of tho other heavy metals exist there.
Sonnenstndt found about fourteen
grains of gold to tho ton of seawater, or
a dollar’s worth in less than two tons.
As the ocean covers nil the lower valleys
of the garth, it receives all the drainage
from the whole of the exposed land.
This drainage is the rainwater that has
fallen ni>ou this exposed Surface, has
flowed down its superficial slopes or has
sunk into porous land and descended
nndcrgronnd. In either case the water
must dissolve and carry with it any sol
uble matter tliat it meets, tho quantity
of solid matter which is thus appropri
ated being proportionate to its solubility
and the extent of its exposure to the
solvent Rain when it falls npon the
earth is distilled water, nearly pnro (its
small impurities being what it obtains
from tho air), but river water when it
reaches tho ocean contains mensurable
quantities of dissolved mineral and veg
etable matter. These small contribu
tions uru ever pouring in and over nccu-
mnlutiug. This continual addition of
dissolved mineral salts without any cor-
mqiouding abstraction by evaporation
has been going on over since the surface
of the earth consisted of land and water.
Au examination of tbo composHion of
other bodies of water which, like tho
ocean, receive rivers and rivulets and
have no other on Jot than that afforded
by evaimration, confirms this view. All
of these are more or less saline, many of
them more so than tbo ocean itself. On
tbe great tableland of Asia, “tho roof of
the world.” there is a multitude of small
lakes which receive the waters of riveru
ami rivulets of that region and haro no
outlet to tbe ocean. On a map they ajs
pear like bags, with a string attached,
the I tag being the lake and tbe string the
river All these lakes ore saline, many
of them excessively so, simply bveanso
they are ever receiving river water of
slight salinity and ever giving off vapor
which has no x^linity at all. There is no
wash throngh these lakes, as in the great
American lakes or those of CoUMnuco.
Uuneva. etc.
Tbe sea of Aral and the Caspian are
lakes without any other outlet than
evaporation, and they arc saline accord
ingly The Dead sea, which receives the
Jordan at ono end and n multitude of
minor rivers and rivnlets at the other
end and sides, is a noted example of ex
treme salinity. It 1*. as every Ixsly
knows, a sea or lake of brine. The to*
tnl area of land training into the great
ocean does not exceed oni -fonrth of Its
own nrea,.while the Dead sea receiver,
the drainage and soluble matter of an
nrcit above twenty times greater than its
own, and thus it fulfills the demand of
the above Mated theory by haring far
greater salinity than ha.' tho great ocean.
According to this view the salinity of
I he ocean innst be steadily though very
slowly increasing, and there must bs
slowly proceeding n corresponding adap
tation of evolution among the inhabit
ants. both animal and vegetable. The
xtndy of this subject mid tho effect
which the incrauang salinity of tho past
inns; have had npon the progressive
modifications of organic life displayed
by fossils Is. I think, worthy of more at
tention than It has hitherto received
Iroui paleontologists.—W. Mattien Wil

No matter what happens, it enters your door every week ns a
welcome friend, full of sunshine and cheer and interest. It opens
tbe door of the great world and puts you face to face with its
