In Mr. Edmund Gosse's reminiscent article. "Swinburne at Etretat " In the Cornhill Magazine he relates the poet's bathing adventure that nearly cost him his life in the late summer of 1868. The timely appearance of a fish ing smack on the scene prevented the premature silencing of the voice that was presently to entrance the world for some part of its with the "Songs s Before Sunrise." "I asked him." writes Mr. Gosse. "what he thought about In that dread ful contingency. and be replied that he had no experience of what people often profess to witness the concen trated panorama of past life hurrying across the memory. He did not re feet on the past at all He was filled with annoyance that he bad not finish ed his 'Songs Before Sunrise- and then with satisfaction that so much of it was ready for the press and that Maz zini would be ples:aed with him. "And then he continued. '1 reflected with resignation that I was exactly the same age as Shelley was when he was drowned. (This however. was not the case. Swinburne had reach ed that age in March. 1867 but this was part of a curious delusion of Swinburne's that he was younger by two or three years than his real age.' Then when be began to be. I suppose. a little benumbed by the water his thoughts fixed on the clothes he had left on the beach. and he worried his clouded brain about some unfinished verses-In the pocket of his coat."

SULPHUR SHOWERS. Not Sulphur at All. Only the Pollen Grains of Pine Trees. Many persons are aware that in spring. and especially in early spring. it happens that after a shower the edge of every pool of water in the streets and along the sidewalks will be bordered by a rim of pale yellow color. As the water evaporates this ring re mains as a fire powdery mass. so much resembling sulphur as to have given rise to the name "sulphur showers." This so called sulphur Is. of course. not sulphur at all. When examined under the microscope it Is found to be made 1 up- of a mass of the yellowish pollen grains of pine trees. Instead of consisting of a single cell. as do most pollen grains. that of the pine consists of three cells, the two larger end ones being filled with air and the other containing the ordinary fertilizing principle. The two air con taining cells are larger than the other and act as balloons to buoy it up in the air. In pines- and allied trees fertilization of the cones, by which they are en abled to set and develop seeds.

When you are perspiring furiously In the dog days It may or may not con sole you to think that an ordinary field of wheat Is giving off moisture quite as furiously. Between the months of April and July. according to Sir James Dewar, a field of wheat per spires sufficient moisture to cover the surface of Its ground to a depth of nine Iches. Another interesting fact Is that It requires three and a half pounds of 'water to produce sixteen grains of wheat. Speakring of the solar radiation in tropical places.

If baseball is Uncle Sam's national game and cricket is John Bull's, tennis Is certainly the international game. It Is played everywhere on the face of the globe. almost from pole to pole and from far east to near west. The United States and Canada are dotted with tennis clubs from ocean to acean and honeycombed with courts. Every country In Europe has its host of tennis players. from Russia down to the tip of Italy. Every sport loving foreigner in India is a tennis devotee and many of the natives.

METALS AND MICROBES. In Some Instances Contact Means Death to the Germs. Experiment seems to show that there are certain metals which are capable ,f destroying microbes that come in 'ontact with them. The microbes experimented with were ultivated for the purpose in jelly ;pread on a plate. and pieces of metal were dropped upon the jelly while It was still moist. Any metal that had the property of irresting the development of the mi 'robes destroyed them. not only just ander the place where it lay, but for a narrow space around It. The width 'f this space varied both with the kind if metal and the kind of microbe. Pure gold. when freshly cleaned and aurnished. had no effect upon the ml 'robes. Pure nickel and platinum and few other metals also failed to af reet the organisms. But cadmium. cop er. brass. zinc and silver destroyed hem, the first named metal especially arting quickly and effectively. It has been observed that the metals :hat affected the microbes were those hat are readily attacked by chemical I eagetits. while those that resist such 'eagents, like gold. had no effect. From this fact It bas been concluded that the action upon the organisms Is due to a ;lution of the metals taking place in the jelly.-Harper's Weekly. Native Meeting Places In Sumatra.

TEA AS A BEVERAGE. It Is Said to Enrich a Person Both Morally and Physically. Did you know that tea drinking is a plendid aid to one's morals? At least that is the opinion of tan English scien list who not long ago compiled a learn ed treatise to shtow the beneficial ef fets of ten dritnking from a spiritual. physical and moral standpoint. A meal in the morning, be says, with tea as the beverage will enable a man o pursue his day's work with facul ties unclouded, temper unrutfied and a generally atmlable state of nerves.

'1he work of the United States geo logical survey in paleontology-the study of fossil remains of animals and lants that lived ages ago--has a dis inct bearing on some of the very prac tical economic problems of today.
