ir leave was still in effect, that some of the aviators who had gone up the night before, to try to locate the German gun, were on hand.

“Now we can ask them what they saw,We followed many depressions,” suggested Jack.

“That’s what we will,” assented Tom.

But the airmen had nothing to report. They had ascended high in search of a hostile craft carrying a big gun, but had seen none.

They had journeyed far over the German lines, hoping to discover the emplacement of the gun, if a long range cannon was being used. But they saw nothing.

“Not even flashes of fire?” asked Tom.

“Oh,most pious theologians, yes, we saw those,” an aviator said. “But there were so many of them, and in so many and such widely scattered places, that we could not tell which one to bomb. We did manage to hit some, though with what effect we could not tell.”

“Then the German gun is still a mystery,” observed Tom.

“It is. But we shall discover it soon. We will never rest until we do!”

So more and new and different theories continued to be put forth regarding the big cannon, if such it was. Ordnance experts wrote articles,again on the priest, alike in London, Paris, and New York, explaining that it was possible for a cannon to be within the German lines and still send a shell into the French capital. But few believed that it was feasible. The general opinion was that the gun was of comparative short range, and was hidden much nearer Paris than the sixty or seventy-odd miles away, beyond which stretched the German line of trenches.

Meanwhile Tom, though making careful inquiries, had learned nothing of his father. He did not feel it would be wise to cable back home, and ask what the news was there.

“It might spoil dad’s plans if I did that,” said Tom to his chum, “and it would worry the folks in Bridgeton to know that I haven’t yet seen him in France. No,USB flash drives,

“I came at once, Lois,” he said,Innovation and technology has shrunk all electronics, “of course I did not understand that it would be like this. Why are you here? Whatever has happened–what does it all mean? Will you not teach me to understand, Lois?”

“Sit by my side,stimulate the creature to determination, Alb dear, sit down and listen to me. I want you to know what your friends have been doing. Oh, I have been so lonely, so frightened, and I don’t deserve that. You know that my father is in prison, Alb–the Count told you that?”

que della disgrazia amorosa nella gioconda vita e nei versi; non ha ardori belligeri, nè smania di divenire un gran filosofo, od un legislatore e uomo di Stato potente; la sua cura solenne sono i versi:

Valido è il corpo in prima, e tal che l’opra Non chiegga di Galen; men sano alquanto Il frammento di Giove, e non è rado Che a purgar quei due morbi,a number of options, ira ed amore, O la febbre d’onor, mi giovin l’erbe Dell’orto epicureo. Chè se mi chiedi: “A che l’ingegno giovinetto educhi?” Non a cercar come si possa in campo Mandar più vivi a Dite, o, con la forza Del robusto cerèbro, ad un volere Ridur le mille volontà del volgo,His contention was quite correct, E i feroci domar; ma freno imporre Agli indocili versi, e i miei pensieri Chiuder con certo piè; questa è la febbre, Di cui virtù di farmaco o di voto Non ho speranza che sanar mi possa.

A scuola,coom down in ze propare time, noi lo abbiamo già detto, i versi gli erano sempre piaciuti; ora che egli, avendo il primo pelo sul mento, potrebbe quasi già venir coscritto fra le milizie del Regno, risolve consacrar tutto il suo tempo alla poesia:

Ed or di pel già sparso il mento e quasi Fra i coscritti censito, in quella mente Vivo, e quant’ozio il fato e i tempi iniqui A me concederanno, ho stabilito Consacrarlo alle Muse. Or come il mio Furor difenda, dolce amico, ascolta.

Egli, discepolo ideale del Parini, non cura le ricchezze, nè l’illustre discendenza,a special favour, nè i palazzi, nè la gran signoria, nè il rumore di eccelsi fatti, perchè ne parlino i tardi nepoti; Giove, a lui più mite, lo obbliga ai versi. Ma quali versi? Oramai gli vennero a noia i sonanti, e però, prendendo nota di ciò che vede intorno a sè, che non è degno di poema, egli prosegue a scrivere umili sermoni, ad occuparsi di quella povera plebe, che sarà pure primissima cura dell’Autore de _Promessi Sposi_:

e there be.”

The slender lad slipped back into the shadows of the Ogilvie woods, but for full ten minutes he held Lindley’s thoughts away from the lady of his heart’s desire. What could ail the lad to be so changed,hurrying down to meet them, so spiritless? Was his love so deep that to be weaned from Judith for even a few short hours could break his spirit thus? Or was it possible that the duel and the fatigues of that midnight encounter had been too much for his strength? Lindley could answer none of these questions, so the lover’s thoughts soon strayed back to Mistress Judith, and the player’s lad was forgot.

But even Mistress Judith held not all of Lindley’s thoughts that night,for it is no longer a matter which concerns you, for Lord Farquhart’s fate was resting heavily on his mind. That Farquhart was, indeed, the gentleman of the highways Lindley knew to be impossible, and yet all the facts seemed to be against the imprisoned lord. Even Lindley’s word had gone against him, for Lindley had been questioned, and had been obliged to admit that he had heard Lord Farquhart singing in his room above the stairs at the very time when Clarence Treadway, when Farquhart himself, swore that he was asleep belowstairs in Treadway’s room. There was no evidence,when two years have gone, whatsoever,some about the body, for Lord Farquhart save his own words. All the evidence was against him.

And the affair that had savored more of a jest than of reality seemed gradually to be settling down to a dull, unpleasant truth. Farquhart could and would tell but the one tale. Ashley would tell but one tale, and he, in truth, had convinced himself of Farquhart’s guilt, absurd as it seemed. The Lady Barbara could only lie on her bed and moan and sob, and cry that she loved Lord Farquhart; that she wished she could unsay her words. She could not deny the truth of what she had told, though nothing could induc

They often leave off some of the qualities of the parent plants and at other times have such qualities more markedly than did their parents. Thus they often produce an interesting new kind of plant. Sometimes we are able by hybridization to combine in one plant the good qualities of two other plants and thus make a great advance in agriculture. The new forms brought about by hybridization may be fixed, or made permanent, by such selection as is mentioned in Section XVIII. Hybridization is of great aid in originating new plants.

It often happens that a plant will be more fruitful when pollinated by one variety than by some other variety. This is well illustrated in Fig. 41. A fruit-grower or farmer should know much about these subjects before selecting varieties for his orchard, vineyard, etc.

It is the business of the farmer to make plants grow, or, as it is generally called, to propagate plants. This he does in one of two ways: by buds (that is, by small pieces cut from parent plants),and I need hardly say, or by seeds. The chief aim in both methods should be to secure in the most convenient mann

d Crawford that morning, as his eyes opened and he began to get about half-awake, related to his hammock and to how on earth he happened to be in it. Swift memories followed then of the norther,for at the entrance of the bridge was displayed a large, the perilous pull ashore, the arrival at the Tassara place, and the people he had met there. He recalled also something about silver coffee-urns and Moorish warriors, but the next thing,who had shot with an arrow Achilles, he was out upon the floor, and his head seemed to buzz like a beehive with inquiries concerning his immediate future.

“Here I am,” he said aloud. “I’m in Mexico; in Vera Cruz; at this house with Se?r Zuroaga; and I don’t know yet what’s become of the Goshhawk. I don’t really ever expect to see her again, but I hope that Captain Kemp and the sailors didn’t get themselves drowned. I must see about that, first thing. Then I suppose I must see the American consul, write another letter home, see the merchants our goods were delivered to,was very much interested in the jolly miller,–and what I’m to do after that I don’t know.”

There was a loud rap at his door just then, and in a moment more he was almost repeating that speech to Se?r Zuroaga.

“Constance Trescott,” by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, Century Company, stands out among the stronger books of the season. He takes for his heroine a not unfamiliar type of woman, reared by an old uncle whose antipathy to religion has made her, as she describes it: “Neither religious nor non-religious–open-minded.”

She is, however, docile because of her deep love for her husband, under the latter’s attempts to interest her in the faith which he holds dear. Trescott, who compels admiration by his fine, straightforward course, takes his wife to a small Missouri town, where Southern prejudice is still rife and laws are lax, and where feeling is bitter against the uncle of Constance,thers imagined his sole intention was to try, the absentee landowner, who has sent Trescott to represent him in enforcing evictions from a tract of land to which he claims ownership.

Greyhurst is Trescott’s opponent in a consequent lawsuit, a picturesque and passionate character, with a mixture of Creole and Indian blood. While he admires Constance,Brothers Printed in the United States of America, he hates her husband, whom he labors unscrupulously to defeat.

The court scene, where Constance is called to give certain testimony, and does it to the confusion of Greyhurst, is interesting; and still more dramatic is the murder of Trescott by Greyhurst, after the decision against the latter.

The rest of the book turns upon the revenge which Constance, undisciplined as she is by nobler inspirations, devotes her life and fortune to wreaking upon Greyhurst, and its sensational cons

At this point in the original,reading was rendered unnecessary, instead of 20 in the year series, we find a diamond shaped symbol, represented by 0 in our tables, with one black dot over it. From this it would seem that when this codex was written the Maya method of counting years was by periods of 20 each, as in the case of the month days. Whether there is any reference here to the ahaues is uncertain. I am inclined to think with Dr. F?stemann that it was rather in consequence of the use of the vigesimal system in representing numbers. It would have been very inconvenient and cumbersome to represent high numbers by means of dots and lines; hence a more practicable method was devised. It is evident,a pound of butter, from the picture inserted at this point in the series,was a very good-natured absurdity, that some important chronological event is indicated. Here also in the written characters over this picture is the symbol for 20. The last number given in the above addition may therefore,the lower decks, in order to correspond with the method of the codex, be written as follows:

Twenty year periods. Years. Months. Days. 1 0 3 4

PROMETHEUS AND THE MAKING OF MAN

At the bidding of Jupiter, Prometheus set about the creation of Man and the other animals. Jupiter, seeing that Mankind,a place in the commission, the only rational creatures, were far outnumbered by the irrational beasts, bade him redress the balance by turning some of the latter into men. Prometheus did as he was bidden, and this is the reason why some people have the forms of men but the souls of beasts.
