It is found that the X-ray shines through a fox terrier as if bo were a Chineee paper lantern. Tbe experi- H meat has just been tried on an animal of thio species which had swallowed a diamond ring, the trinket appearing twinkling io hie mids'.-—visable ae a fly io amber or a gold fish io a glass globe. All tbe dog family will do wisely to lay the lesson to heart and look sharp to what they swallow ABL Petersburg journal says that the Csar has declared bis intention of making a long visit in Paris during the World’s Exposition there io 1900. A special envoy is said already to have been sent to find a commodious palace lor tbe august guest's occupa tion. Several are eaid to have been offered but found not ruilable. It is hinted that Nicholas 11, even has a plan to build himself a palace in Paris, to occupy on visits that be intends to make somewhat frequently in tbe future. Here is what Peter Cooper, who died worth many millions, said of a newspaper: "In all tbe towns where a newspaper is published every mao should advertise in it if nothing more than a card stating hie name and the business he is in. It does not only P*y the advertiser, but it lets people at a distance know tbe town in * which you reside is a prosperous com* munily of business men. As tbe seed is sown co the seed recompenses. Never pull down your sign while you expect to do business.” Wait until we get Porto Rico, then what a winter town wo will have, and all under the protection of our flag. Go south, to the Florida resorts, tbe finest in tbe world, cross to Havana and thence by sea to Santiago. When you have tired of tbe oldest town on tbe western hemisphere, run over to San Joao and spend a week on an island not lees interesting than tbe Bahamas.

Il as j ecad there was a report like a pistol I shot, followed by a swaying which very naturally alarmed those on the bridge at the time. Tbe expansion of the acetal doe to tbe excessive boat, ; together with the enuraai weight of tbe ears, paaseugors and pedestrians ' weoamaned by the blockade of traffic, ' is said to have caused tbe trouble. Tbe t weight of tbe bridge is now oa the ] cablee, and these are said to be uuim* paired II is claimed that tbe bridge is stiff “as safe as tbe streeta.” * sodwSimmm.
