But pretty Melina Cyr does just that son of thing, and in her play furnishes amazement to her playmates and jnuch childish delight to herself.

This child phenomenon, within whose slender frame lies hidden a strength that baffles all effort to solve, is, to all outward appeat-ance, the ordinary child of her years. An oval face, framed in a wealth of yellow hair, big blue eyes, and slender frame of average height these give no indication of abnormal jnuscular dex-elopment. To the view Melina Ja a pretty child and nothing more. And so the marvelous stories of her prowess caused smiles of incredulity to spread over the faces or" doubting listeners. "She's cue of these magnetic freaks, that's what she is," said the wise young man.

An hour later he knocked at the good priest's door, and was ushered into the parlor to await the coming of Louis Cyr, who, with his wife and daughter, was the guest Of the fathers at the parish house. In a few moments the door of the room opened, and Mrs. Cyr and Melina entered. The mother was below the average height, and looked to weigh rather less than the luO pounds she claimed.

She greeted her caller pleasantly, and said: Louis will be down in a moment. This is little Melina. She doesn't speak much French. Shvj hasn't traveled with us enough yet."

Then stepped forth Miss Minnie Sherwood, Miss June Southwell, and Miss May Butterfield note their pretty names, with this manifesto: We, the undersigned, having entered Into a contract with the Equinunk Chemical company to cut and pile 250 cords of acid wood during the last week of February, lsllti, do most cordially invite you to this chopping party. Said wood belongs to Chemical company and is located near Equinunk Village. The cutting and piling of one or more cords to be done in a good, workmanlike manner.

Please bring a good ax, saw, two wedges, and a good-sized mawl. Mr. Green of the Chemical company will give all necessary directions. Try your muscle on a cord of wood. The exercise will do you good.

In order that there may be no failure on the part of the ladies to fulfill this contract. are shown in the fact that they made the contract before they appealed for help. The contract is a bona fide agreement in writing, now on exhibition at the Equinunk I'ost-oltice. Already some of the volunteers are at work, and others send contributions for substitutes.

Many Indian relics have been found here a millstone for grinding corn, arrow Hints, and last year a scalping knife, in good order, made of some foreign stone, and found five feet below the surface in digging a cellar.

The back country also abounds in wild mountain scenery, with lakes and streams full of lish.

San Francisco Chronicle. MARRIES PEOPLE BY THOUSANDS. REAL AND IMITATION DIAMONDS UNDER RAYS. could all be concentrattd on a small area and thus be made to penetrate a much thicker substance than they will at present. Among the different substances tried was a diamond.

Of course it would have been impracticable to make a lens of diamond, but if the rays could be refracted at all as ordinary light rays can or had any relation to them, they could be refracted by a diamond, which is the most highly refractive of all substances to light rays, which, by the way, is the cause of the brilliancy of the diamond. Accordingly, a ring with a diamond setting was placed on the plate and the current turned on. Very much to the surprise of every one, when the plate was developed the gold ring and setting were visible, but not a sign of the stone. Another plate was made to verify this, with the same result. This naturally suggested a means of telling the difference between a true diamond and one of glass or paste, as this experiment showed the diamond transparent and previous experiments proved glnss opaque.

Maurice Mayer of the firm of Mayer, Grace Mayer very kindly loaned Dr. Robb a diamond stud and an imitation. As shown in the cut the rays penetrated perfectly the true diamond, which was somewhat thicker than the imitation, showing only the gold setting and the shadow cast by it. The imitation stone is perfectly opaque. Other experiments will be made with different qualities of diamonds.

A systematic attempt to determine relative penetrations of rays in various substances has recently been successfully carried on at St. Ignatius College, on the West Side. Thin strips of wood, paper, white lead on paper, graphite on paper, ebonite, copper, brass, lead, plaster-of-paris, glue, steel, iron, aluminum, window glass, and mica were laid side by side on a piece of paper and placed between a Crookes tube and a sensitive plate. The reproductions of the shadows cast by these substances show a marked difference in density. Steel, iron, copper, brass, lead, and white lead all appear from the negatives made to be practically impenetrable to the rays.

Wood, paper, and graphite on paper are almost perfectly penetrable. An interesting showing is that made by window glass IVi millimeters thick. It proved itself to be more nearly impenetrable than paper, wood, ebonite, glue, or mica, and about equal in density to plaster-of-paris. The piece of aluminum used was 1.1.'! millimeters thick. It proved to be less penetrable than most of the substances, and cast a shadow about as dark as that of the window glass.

With these substances were tried a magnetic needle, a piece of gold leaf, a stick of cadmium, a coil of magnesium ribbon, a piece of tin, and some finely divided iron. All these except the magnesium cast heavy shadows. The gold leaf, in spite of its thinness, cast as dense a shadow as the strips Of iron and steel.

At the same time they are not in favor of employing Canon Davis methods in Chicago, nor would they take part in the kind of meetings held on the streets in St. Louis. Canon Davis, with two assistant clergymen and ten members of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, a few nights ago appeared in Twelfth street, surpliced and cassocked, and held a street meeting similar to the kind held by the Salvation Army.

Strongest child in the world. the lifting? She doesn't look as though she could put a good sized doll to bed." Just here Louis Cyr entered. The man who a few nights before at the Chicago Athletic club raised, without harness. pounds of humanity conveniently arranged on a platform, looked more like an overfed giant than the ideal strong man. He is strong, however, and after the visitor had Shifted his pencil to his left hand and made b.

yes," was the reply. She can do 6.11 we claim for her and more." "But where does she keep her strength? can understand how a man weighing 346 pounds, with a chest like an ice bin and arms like Armour's prize could lift anything he took hold of, but thai chi'd how does she do it?" The giant laughed and said "You don't look very close. See here," nd, lifting the girl's hair, which fell about her shoulders, he showed a width of bone that before was not noticeable. The girl was one mass of muscle about the upper chest. The questioner saw and wondered.

But it was only after seeing her feats of lifting ho fully realized he had just witnessed an exhibition of strength without recorded parallel on the face of earth. Among the special efforts of little Melina may be mentioned lifting a ninety-pound anvil bv a ring, through which she passes the middle finger of her right hand. This she holds in steady position long enough to secure a photograph. Another is the raising at arm's length and then lowering to half arm a thirty-threc-pound bell. I'eut of Djaks.

A final and conclusive test of both her 8trength and indifference to conventionalities was her grasping her visitor about his knees, lifting him clear of the floor, and carrying him across the room. An astonished young man sought his chair for breath and seized his hat. That'll do for me. What you say goes about the child's strength," he gasped, and little Melina laughed with glee. The girl evidently has inherited her amazing strength from her father.

Her mother Is in no sense athletic, but on the father's tide the super-strength runs back several generations. Louis Cyr's mother, it is claimed, could lift a barrel of flour from the wagon and carvy it to the second floor of her house. And he. at the present time, holds a world's record of pounds lifted without harness. Melina has received no special training.

She can wear it when wheeling, riding, or sailing, and, in fact, they are sure to be the fastest friends, for there will be dozens of times when the little knit arrangements will just fit the occasion.

The modernized sweater is far removed from awkwardness. It fits like a glove and the sleeves are generally the long, full, bish-opy sort, with a tight webbed cuff, which clings to the arm snugly from elbow to wrist, and over which the full upper part falls with all gracefulness that fashion demands. One can find all colors and styles in sweaters. Sailor collars and neatly rolled-over small ones are the kinds most generally seen and they give a very jaunty effect. The act of getting into one of these garments looks to be a heart-breaking operation, but in reality it is simplicity itself.

They either button on the shoulder or lace in front, and it is no more trouble to get into one of them than an ordinary waist. For a long time girls, and even women, have felt that they would be happier if they could wear sweaters. It was tried by some adventurous spirits, and while found perfectly satisfactory about the throat lacked the symmetry women have learned to prize about the waist. This had led to the manufacture of women's sweaters. These lack that style which made the manly swea'ter so desirable in women's eyes.

But, on the other hand, they gather in at the waist and are entered after a manner more familiar to women than is the male sweater. At first they were'only used in gymnasiums, but now they are considered a necessary part of almost every woman's wardrobe. The up-to-date sweater is not only a sensible garment, but an exceedingly stvlish one as well. The coming summer girl will be devoted the store Lead the way, sir!"

Gen. llarriaon Cautious What He Say for Publication. No man in whom the public is interested is more cautious with newspaper men than x-President Harrison. Even on topics that are neither personal nor political he is shy, and averse to expressing an opinion for publication. To one newspaper man last summer ex-President Harrison admitted cautiously that it was unusually warm weather, and then he looked as if he regretted the remark and wanted to hedge.

Many men who write political news know Gen. Harrison personally, and to them he is always courteous, but reserved. ltoscoe Conkling and James (. Plaine were equally cautious a-liout being quoted, but they occasionally talked freely with newspaper men whom they knew, and wound up by saying that it was not for publication." Shortly before Conkling' death a club in Pittsburg nominated him for the Presidency, and Mr. Conkling acknowledged the honor in a letter that was variously Interpreted.

Ex-Senator Flatt will talk freely to the newspaper men whom he knows, but his remarks are usually for their benefit, and not for the newspaper readers.

Gen. Harrison, however. Is consistently mum. If there is any good in Catholicism, or Methodism, or Calvinism, or the Salvation Army, the Episcopal Church wants it. The trouble with the Salvation Army is there is nothing back of it.

Men are converted and drawn into it and then find there is nothing real nor substantial for them to lay hand on. The church army supplies the system and order which the church lacks. I do not think these methods, however, will ever be adopted in Chicago nor would I take part myself in street processionals." Other clergymen expressed similar opinions.
