PILGRIMS AT ST. PAUL'S.
Tti Nomlwr Who Wearily Climb to tilt
Iome Kach Iny.
There is only one St. Paul'H, and upon
the summit of its dome there is but una
ball. At loni? intervals a Londoner,
and more fivijiiciitly a tourist, climbs
to this bull and sticks his head and
shoulders inside. Having done this
anil looked upon the heart of the world
from the stone gallery anil tho golden
gallery, and upon tho eongregatlon
from tho whisiHtring gallery, ho ro
turns to earth and tells his friends and
acquaintances of his feat, and advises
them to follow his example. Tho num
ber of persons who make this pilgrim'
age averages about forty per day. To
reach, tho ball it is necessary to climb
nix hundred and forty (steps of many
varieties. Tho proportions of the
gilded globe are in perfect keeping
with its surroundings. It has a diam
eter of nix feet, and twelve persons
can stand within its walls. It weighs
fivo thousand six hundred pounds.
The gilded cross that towers abovo it
is iiftecn feet in height. From this ball
nearly all London is seen on a clear
day. hy there are so many kinds of
steps in the cathedral no one pretends
explain. In the opinion of those
who have counted them, to climb
these steps is equal to covering twenty
miles on an ordinary road. It is unl-
ersally considered, however, that tho
return journey is equal to a Eussiun
in th. The iirst steps are of wood
These are succeeded by steps of stono,
nd these in turn by iron ones. Then
there aro ladders, some with a gentle
slant, while others stand so straight
that to t hose who climb they appear to
lean backward. The iirst ladder stands
on tho crown of tho second dome,
where an oilicer gives necessary iliroc-
ions to such men as want to seo the
ball, for few try to go above the crown
of the dome, being content to rest
there and watch some exceptionally
active sightseer do the rest.

THE DEADLY SHRAPNEL.
An Awful Agent of Destruction In Modem
Warfare.
Recent experiences In little wars in
the far east and in peaceful practising
have caused military experts to class
tho shrapnel as tho gunner s most
deadly weapon. Thero have been
many improvements iu tho shell and
tho manner of using it in recent
years. It consists or a hollow cylimler
of steel filled with a charge of powder
just sufllclent to break tho cylinder
when desired. Tho charge Is fired by
a time fuse, which lights Itself after u
flash in the gun and flrcsvthe charge
after a fixed number of seconds, or by
a percussion fuse, which explodes the
charge whenever tho shell strikes the
object aimed at. Tho timo fuse makes
tho shrapnel do its deadliest work.
Firing at a target three thousand yards
away the gunner will time the fuse to
explode the shell one hundred yards
short of tho target, when about fifteen
feet from tho ground. Tho one hun
dred and fifty bullets rush on, spread
ing as they go, and carry destruction
to as many points over an area twenty
yards wide and three hundred yards
long. "One such crash of bullets,"
says an expert who has lately been
studying the effects of the shrapnel
fire in actual warfaro and in artillery
experimenting, "would produce a ter
rible effect upou any 'body of troops
within its area. Fifty or a hundred
such showers falling within a few min
utes In tho same area would utterly de
stroy all living things upon the ground
they swept. Tho modern gunner's ob
ject is accordingly to cover with a
quick succession of shrapnel-bullet
hurricanes the region where his enemy
is to be attacked."

Volcanoes.
I-'e'v people of this country Imagine
what terrible work u volcano of the
regulation size can do when it once
gets fully aroused. In 1(W8 Cotopaxi
threw its fiery rockets more than !i,000
feet above the crater, and, in
when the blazing mass confined la the
same mountain was struggling for an
outlet, It roared so loud that the awful
noise was beard for a distance of 000
miles. In 177, says tho l'hlladclphlu
lleeord, the crater of Tunguruguu, ono
of the great peaks of the Andes, ilung
out torrents of mud and lava which
dammed up a great river, opened new
lakes, besides making s. deposit of
seething mud. ashes and lava 000 feet
deep over the wholo area of a valley
which was ao miles long and averaged
1,000 feet in width! Tho stream of lava
which flowed from Vesuvius in 18U7
and passed through the Valley of Terro
del tireeo is estimated to have been
3".S,000,000 cubic feet of solid matter.
In 17;o Aetna poured out a flood of
melted stones and ashes which covered
8 1 square miles of fertile country to a
depth of from 10 to 40 feet. On this
occasion tho sand, scoria, lava, etc.,
from tho burning mountain formed
Mount ltosini, a peak two miles iu cir
cumference and over 4.000 feet high.
In the eruption of Vesuvius in the
year 70 A. 1., t lie time or tno Uestruc-
thin of 1'ompen, the scoria, ashes, sand
and lava vomited forth far exceeded
the size of tho volcano itself, while in
1000 Aetna disgorged over twenty
times its own mass. Vesuvius has sent
its ashes into Syria, Egypt and Turkey
It hurled stones of bOO pounds weight
to l'ompeii, a distance of six English
miles, during tho eruption of 79 A. D.
Cotopaxi oneo projected a block of
stone containing over 100 cubio yards
distance of nine and a half dum.
SUPERSTITIOUS GAMBLERS.
flow the Exprcuslon "llpail Indian ITmlxr
tli Holme ' Aran.
"Thero must bo a dead Indian under
tho house." How many times that has
been said across the gambling table in
Helena! Anil yet how few people
know tho origin of tho expression,
says a writer in tho Helena Indepen
dent. Its meaning was well-known,
however, us everybody was heard to
uso it whon tho cards wero against
him. Still, for all that, a dead Indian,
or what was left of him after his dust
had mingled with the soil his fore
fathers owned, lay under ono of tho
gambling houses of Helena from tho
time the building was' erected until a
short time ago.
In digging tho foundation for tho
Exchange, iu tho early days of tho
town, an Indian grave was found.
ltather than disturb tho bones tho
builder concluded to let them rest
thero. Tho house went up and for
years the cams wero shuillou. ana
dealt over the last resting place ol the
red man. Tho proprietor of the house
knew ho was there, and whenever luck
ran against the gomo it became the
custom of tho dealers to lay the blamo
on tho "dead Indian."
By and by people who wero playing
against tho bank took up tho o.xpres
sfon, and when a steady run of bad
luck followed them it wes tho custom
to remark: "There must bo a dead In
dian under tho house." Twice within
tho past six months tho Exchange has
closed its doors for lack of funds or
other sufficient causes. When the
present owner decided to improve tho
building ho concluded that ho would
move tho Indian, and it was done.

"names that mean something-," as In
tho case of ono where tho children
wero numbered instead of named. In
other instances the first name had been
bestowed with strict reference to tho
significance of the last name.
An English journal records that, not
long- since, a elerg-yman in Notting

to inquire the name, and was told by
the father: "Shady, sir, if you please."
"Shady!" replied the minister, "then
it's a boy, and you mean Shadrach?"
Xo, sir, it's a rirl."
'And what do you mean by givinff it

'Why, bir, if you must know, our

In Gen. John C. Fremont's delightful
reports of his exploring expeditions
across mo continent xuty years ago
thero is an account, which a contrib
utor of tho Youth's Companion used to
read over and over again when a boy,
of the ascent of the mountain called
Freemont's peak.
A most interesting thing in the story
was tho description of a bumblebee
which, in the oppressive stillnoss sur
rounding the summit of the great peak.
more than thirteen thousand f cot above
the sea, suddenly winged its way
across the snow-covered rocks from the
east, and alighted on the knee of one
of the astonished explorers.'
Oen. Fremont considered this the

A species of butterfly was discovered
by him which seemed always to dwell

Beetles were found as high as sixteen
thousand feet on Chimborazo, and
grasshoppers attained an equal eleva

Spiders were also found at an eleva

soven feet in thickness. All this land
is now in the hands of capitalists.
"Mile after mile of it, as ho says,
"has been owned since the first settle
ment of the region by families, the
male members of which could hardly
muster enough clothes to wad a gun.
whose wives went barefooted wintc
and summer, and whose children never
saw either the Inside of a school house
or of a church. Traveling fivo or six
miles along Trap Hill valley without
seeing any Eigns of civilization, I
reached a log house, where I found a
family named Ross. The husband was
absent hunting, but the wife and sev
eral bright-eyed children greeted me,
furnished dinner and directed me on
my way. The wife told me she had
never seen a larger town than Logan
Courthouse with its two dozen houses,
and tho children had never secu a
school book."

Tho Trenton Truo American has
been talking with some New Jersey
dominies about wedding fees. One re
ceived for such 6crvico in a inouo-
gramcd enveloped a bridge toll ticket
of tho value of two cents. Another
got something neatly wrapped in pa
per, lie took it to a grocer, tola mm
that it was a wedding fee, that ho had
not opened it and did not know wlrat
it was, but would glvo lt to mm, "signt
unseen," for a watermelon. Tho grocer
agreed, tho dominie seized bis melon,
and tho grocer found in tho paper a
silver three-cent piece. One groom, as
ho nassed out with his bride, threw
into a work-basket a pair of old gloves,
saying to the minister's wife that she
might have them. The minister's wife
looked at them with scorn ana con
tempt. A few days later, however.
wishing to do some gardening, 6iio
thought tho despised old gloves might
bo useful after all. She attempted to
put them on and found a difficulty. In
every ono of tho fingers thero was a
five-dollar bill.
