Not the least benefit of new scientile theories and discoveries is that they furnish occupation for people who have sothing to do but to take up the fad of the hour. They can experiment on things, or make excavations, or col lect somethings, and, if they make no valuable discoveries, they have at least been out of the way of busy peo ple wto have work to do. In this re spect the Roentgen ray is said to be of untold use. Everybody who has noth ing lse to do is engaged in the ab sorbing and harmless pursuit of phe tographing his bones, or a penny in a pocketbook, or something of the kind. One of the most ardent students of the X ray is Queen Amelie, of Portugal. who has taken the subject up with en thusiasm. Queen Amelie is addicted to fads, and, as her last mania was the study of medicine which she practiced at the risk of their lives upon the court, her fad for experimenting with the Roentgen ray is regarded with great delight by her loyal subjects. It ls even said that it is gratitude for having diverted his royal spouse from the amateur practice of medicine that t has induced King Carlos to invite Roentgen to the court at Llsbon,where he is to receive a high decoration for his discoveries. Sometimes a man who has been to hell, and'ooked all around, breaks out. With many people, virtue is nothang , more that ear of being found out.

A Delightful Spot Il the aouthern Part nd t Framce Where the People Think Little of Royalty-Thern She Finds Real Comfort. we' ore Special Letter. ot r' recent years Queen Victoria has shown a marked preference for the cf South of France in the matter of her spring continental an sojourns,- among ve the reasons for t:is of preference being it. the fact that the people do not ob trude their hospitality upon her ma jesty, who is consequently able to enjoy 'r- the natural beauties and health giving to advantages of the place selected with out being exposed to mobbings such as those to which she was subjected dur e ing one of her recent visits to a more Ssouthern continental country. e In 1890 her majesty passed the latter t, end of March and the early portion of e April at Ala-les-Baines, where she had previously made a stay in 1885 and 1887. y The queen was lodged in the Villa Vic toria, a dependence of the Hotel Ber n naseon. The rooms her majesty in , habited were all on the first floor, the L windows looking due south over the SCasdne. Upon the left of the grand Sstaircase was a boudoir, opening on to a salon furnished in crimson satin with Indian embroildery. The very day of is her arrival at Aix-lees-Baines, March 25, - 1890, her majesty went for a long drive r- by the Gresy and Geneva road, thus i etting a very favorable view of Aix 4 and its surroundings. d- The following year Grasse, the cradle IIof French civiliation, the home of swest sounds and odors, was the queen's selection. You can driveovr the hills Sfrom Nie to Grasse in three hours. t Old Grasm is above you as you ap 1 proach, Its houses scattered over the 4I mountain side, as If some giant had a illed a colossal bag with them and then d emptied it and allowed the houses to le tumble out and arrange themselves as they might without order or symmetry. B, Beyoad, sheltering Grasse from wintry winds, is the Mont Napoleon, where the i conqueror came for a short rest in 1808. l- It was at the Grand Hotel that the r queen took up her abode in Gram, the Ssentire h bouse, whlh eotains sixty-eight roomsbeing retained for her. The h botel is a handsome white building d facing directly on the road. From a Sbread stone balcony overlooking the k hotel rden you see the town below, Ssand below that again a number of tall ehimoyes overtopping the houses of the old town. These belong to the seven a ty-Ifve ol and perfume pressin mills k that have made Grasso rich. . Hrem was the queen's choice la, 12, e the hotel taken for her majesty baing t the Costabelle, which is built on the s souther slope of a hill that protects it from the mistral Her majesty's bed Sroom and dresing-room communicated. The walls of the bedroom were covered with "cretonne Pompadour, fond vert d'em." A very pretty toilet service had - been manufactured tspecially for the r royal visitor's us, the" design being a r 'happy combination of the rose, sham I reek and thistle, with garter ribbon t and motto. The royal drawing-room, a which had three windows to the west, s two to the south and one to the east, was arranged in crimson and cream. This yea the number of mngish roy tles o the Riviera was exceptionally Irge, ther being, ia addition to the isen, the price and princess of wales, e George of Wales, Prinacess tae, Prince s Victoria and Maund t dub t and duchess of con aght, rines and primcs Henry of IBttmbe, te duke sad duhems of fek and Piee sMay t Teck.

Last year, as this, Clmies was se lected by her majesty for her spring vis. it to the continent. The charms of this romantic suburb of Nice have been sung for a century or more, ever since Smollett discovered what was then a poor, miserable little fishing town of a few narrow, tortuous streets runnig up the side of the Chatean Hill, with plenty of dirt and unsavory smells about the houses, and a plethora of sunshine out of doors. Mounting the white, winding road which runs up the gentle wooded slope behind the town, you come to Cimies. The residence, the Grand hotel, stands 400 feet or more above the glittering waters of the Mediterranean and amid surroundings of the profoundest his toric interest. Long before the Phoceans founded Nice on the seashore Cemenelum was standing boldly on the height above as a Ligurian oppidum. Witnesses are abundant in the shape of big blocks of the ancient belt, still lying around. The most important of the remains of the Roman occupation is the amphl theatre, which stands in bold, pictur esque massiveness within a few yards of the queen's hotel. Its solemnity and grandeur are, however, spoiled by an act of profanity which was voluntar ily committed when the high road was driven straight through the center of it. The rows of seats, once capable of hold ing 8,000 spectators, still stand in among the ruins; but the arena, into which poor slaves were once turned to fight for their life's blood with wild beasts, is now growing thick with grass, w.. IN VICTORIA'S CAR. while wild flowers and ferns and plants hang loosely from the niches in the walls which once re-echoed the excited cries of the brutal crowds who assem bled within them. Another, Interesting monument of sixteenth century architecture stands a few hundred yards away. This is the Fran isea monastery and church. perched pitturesquely upon an eyriellSe crag overlooking the broad valley of the Paflloa. The frontage gains addi tfonal solemnity and charm from the shadow of the splendid grove of lex trees-perhaps the most magnllcent specimens extant-in which it reposes. On the portico is a fresco, ilustrating the dream of Pope Innocent IlL, as he beheld St. Francis supporting the fall ing columns of the Lateran church, and which resulted in the request for the foundation of the Franciscan Or(dr be ing granted. The queen's cboeen residence stands upen the colline which constitutes the first range of the triple ridged shield of mountalns which shelters Nice from the cold north winds. Far behind stretch the nowclad peaks of the Maritime Alps, with Meat Ores and Mont ChMuve standing oat in bold relief and strongly equipped with modern artillery for the proteetlen of te port against invasion from the sea. Thia second rasnge of hills, with upland hamlets perched here and ther upon their prominent points, their oilve-lad sides laterlaced by a man of milk-white roads, and a net work tof mIse paths winding their way through shaded valleys of Sowers re Ived here with a falry grotto and there with a eparklng spring Then the sena tile slope of CIames, St. Marice and aummdar, eovered with erchards of ersage and limeons, and decked with wide spreading palms and enmMroloal plants, with coqutt villas netlng In their midst-In motheiss nooks wheam the wild mistral and the Iee cold windel o the north never dare to come to shaklte down the laves or to shrivel p tl Sewers.
