EXCHANGE AND ROBBERY. Don Diego was the son of a Marquis, and a very bad lot indeed. He was over head and e-ars in debt, so there was good reason for his wanting to win the big prize in the lottery. But his ticket was numbered 93,519, and the winning number was 93,517. Very nearly, but not quite. There was nothing before Don Diego but ruin, when up came Carmeneita, a lovely girl who could not read, but who was lust as much interested in. the lottery as Don Diego had been. Had she won? she wanted to know; and handed him her ticket so that he might answer her question. Tho temptation was too much for Don Diego. Lie did a quick change, handed his own iickct to the dis- appointed damsel, and with hers claimed and obtaiii-ed the big prize. Thus dramatically, begins "Dear Loyalty (Ifodder and Stougli- ton, 6s.), a story of modern "Spain, by Reginald Evans. Don Diego,.one sees frns the start, is hopeless he goes fr«?n bad vo wo'-so, until he makes an evil bargain wi- i). voilan, who knows the secret of the l"cry i:e! et, agreeing that that very villain ,u» f <> » -> shall marry Felicia, the heroine, who h-en brought up in the Marquis's household, who hates Don Froilan like poison, and would much rather marry the Marquis's six-cmd who is quite of the same mind. Felicia's "dear loyalty" lnds her to consent rather than disgrace upon the Marquis. But nh. misery! Then, just in time, conscience awakes in Don Diego, and one dark night he arranges matters so thoroughly that there conies a happy ending to the story. And a ee.pi+ol tale it is, cleverly written, and with some scenes between Felicia and the engineer second son which are quiU charming.

A BAD NAME. "Horse Tales" is the title given to the reminiscences of a. famous London horse- dealer in the "English Illustrated Magazine." Mr. George Cox, the writer, remarks that, the horse-dealer of to-day is the absolute embodi- i ment of rectitude and honour compared to the .o commercial morality of other crafts and pro- fessions he could name. lie admits, however, that a. contrary idea prevails, and be tells a story illustrating it. Many years ago a "coper" was being tried For murder at a North Country Assize. Coun- sel for the Crown related the circumstances of uhe murder and the suspicious attaching to the iccuscd, remarking incidentally that he car- ried on the business of a "horse-dealer," and :hat it happened in the pursuit of his calling that lie became acquainted with the deceased. A.t this point of his remarks he was interrupted by the learned judge, who said:— "I did not quite catch what you said, Mr. B. What did you say the prisoner's occupa- don was?" "A horse-dealer, m'lud." "A horse-dealer?" i" Yes, iri'liid." ''Weil, really, said the learned judge, "I ihink such being the case it is hardly worth while wasting the time of the Court 'on fur- ther evidence, which, to my mind, is most | conclusive, as it must be, I am sure, to the intelligent jury who have heard, the case." Whereupon the foreman rose and said they had made up their minds long since, and de- cided to find the prisoner guilty. So upon this he was sentenced to death, and hanged III accordance with the verdict, in due course.

TWO ROSSl?ri\ LIMERICKS. Mr. F. M. Hueft'er, in an article on "A Group of Pre-Raphaelite Poets," in "Harper's Magazine," says that when his father. Dr. Huetfer, came to England, he founded a periodical called the "New Quarterly Review," with the intention of spreading the light of Schopenhauer. He dropped a, great deal of money over it, and made cordial enemies among the poets and literary men to whom he gave friendly lifts. The only traces of the "New Quarterly Review," except for the several poets whom it helped to obtain com- fortable berths in Government offices, are contained in tliexlimerick by Rossetti, which runs as follows: There was a young German called Iluffer, A hypochondriacal buffer; To shout Schopenhauer From the top of a tower Was tiia highest enjoyment of Buffer. In tijoir day Rossetti's limericks were cele- brated. Here is one which was written on the fly-leaf of a volume of "Lear's Nonsense Verses,"presented by the poet to Oliver Madox Brown; There was a young rascal called Nolly Whose habits though dirty were jolly, And when this book comes To be marked with his thumbs You may know that its owner is Nolly. This engaging trait may be capped (says Mr. Htieffer) by an anecdote told of another poet, a descendant of many of whom it was related that while reading his friend's valuable books at that friend's break- fast, table -he was in th^ habit of marking his place widl a slice of byicon.

Katiier than consent to change his religion at the bidding of his superior officer, Captain Archibald Ruthven, of the King's Guards, whose 'story is told by M^riee Gerard III "The Broken Sword" (Hodder and ^tough- ton, 6s.), broke his sword across his V"? hung Major Dolan across the room, and escaped by the window, to play a conspicuous part in the great events which culminated in.Jam." losing his throne and giving place t(-, i better man.

POPULAR SCIENCE. o" A BELL WARNING. A submarine bell has been anchored at ft distance of two miles from the Lizard. It is connected by a cable with the lighthouse, from which it will be operated, All those steamers passing the Lizard that are suit- ably fitted will profit by the bell in foggy weather; most large vessels are fitted with the necessary apparatus. TilE LATKST FLY-CATCHER. The ordinary fly-trap is not pleasing to the eye, despite its utility, so a Frenchman has devised a novelty. It resembles a wind- mill in exterior appearance and is very artistic. Within it has a series of cups each filled with some attractive substance. The fly enters the windmill door, and proceeds to regale itself; the cups revolve, and the visitor finds himself under a grating, "Ihieb alarms him and he flies upwards. He readies a cone tower, through an opening which puzzles him when he wishes to retreat, and remains a prisoner until the executioner arrives to dispatch him and his fellow pris- oners. RAISING THE WIND. A stenographer has just invented an in- genious desk tool that not only performs the work of the ordinary eraser, but blows I away the particles of paper and the dust, cleaning the surface of the paper. At one I end of the eraser proper is a small egg- j THE PNEUMATIC ERASER. I shaped bulb, the meek of which is clasped over the eraser. Through the eraser runs a 1-lGth-im. bore or air passage. In use the bulb lies easily in the palm of the Jhand, with the fingers clasping the eraser in the customary way. In making an erasure one I proceeds as usual, after which. by compress- ing the bulb, a jet of air is directed at the rubbing point. I I LONG DISTANCE WIRELESS. Mr. Marconi has made an important dis- covery regarding long-distance wireless tele- graphy its the result of experiments recently carried out during" a voyage to Argentina. ) An official of the Marconi Wireless Tele- ( graph Company states that experiments ren- dered the possibilities of the system practic- ] ally limitless. Mr. Marconi took with him on his voyage a receiving instrument and a j kite, and made arrangements for the tram?* mission to the .ship of messages from the stations at Clifden, ill Ireland, and Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. The kite was flown by means of a long length of wire, and a mes- I sage was received in London from the in- ventor stating that he had been successful in receiving messages by means of the kite and wire at a distance of 3,500 miles in the day time, while but for file fact that a storm arose and made the flying of the kite impos- sible, messages could have been received at an even greater distance. The sending of a receiving wire to a much greater altitude by means of a kite. will, it is believed, take the instrument far above those influences which interfere with the electric waves, in I addition to making telegraphing at any distance possible; and in the same way a message might be sent from a ship to any shore station, no matter how distant from it she might be. TRAFFIC UNDER A LOCOMOTIVE. A unique electric locomotive, that straddles a line of moving vehicles, is an in- l'.Kivation near Bremen, Germany. The loco- motive is used for hauling canal boats, and runs on a quay that, has to be kept clear for the passage of drays and other vehicles. Consequently it was built in the form of two I U's, connected by a girder. One side of the FOR HAULING BOATS. I locomotive runs on a track «m one edge of the quay, and the other ruins on a truck on the opposite side, while the moving vehicles have a clear passage under it going either way. As the width, of each U-shaped base is only II., the driving motor had to he placed in the upper part, where it takes its current from overhead wires. It is said to be the the first locomotive ever built that could pass over a line of vehicles without wrecking it- ¡,df or them. ;:0 > ff is to n •■ r-i'•■e ;'f jibr.t I'la'h, jihe.ut ;i. v ;i; "(1 24 -ox-he •: to inches .•< c-ul '■••in?; r:«b'cd <> in.-fccc- i,-cites, i" !'o••'>« i'nclincd plane.
