CHAPTER XXXIX, (Continued. )

Nevertheless with these inferior barks they held the fever in check. But the pain was ubstinate, and cost Helen many a sigh; for, if she came softly, she could often hear him moan; and, the moment he heard her foot, he set to and whistled, for a_ blind;

would have bought those pains, or a portion of them ; ay, and paid a heavy price for them.

But pain, like everything, intermits, and in those blessed intervals his mind was more active than ever, and ran a great deal upon what he called the Problem.

But she, who had set it him, gave him little encouragement now to puzzle over it. | The fcllowing may serve as a specimen of | their conversation on that head. ‘The air of this island,’ said he, ‘gives

one a sort of vague sense of mental power.

[t leads to no result in my case; still it is, an agreeable sensation to have it floating | across my mind that some day I sha!l solve! the Greet Problem, Ah! if I was only an, inventor !” ‘And so you are.’ ‘No, no,’ said Hazel, disclaiming as | earnestly as some people claim; ‘I do

things that look like acts of inven- tion, but they are acis of memory. I could show you plates and en- gravings of all the things I have

seemed to invent. A man who studies books instead of skimming them can cut a dash in a desert island, until the fatal word goes forth—invent; and then you find him out.” ‘I am cure I wish I had never said the fatal word. You will never get well if you puzzle your brain over impossibilities.” ‘Impossibilities! But is not that begging the question? The measure of impossibilities is lost in the present age. I propose a test. Let us go back a century, and suppose that three problems were laid before the men of that day, and they were asked to decide which is the most impossible : 1st, to diffuse intelligence from a fixed island over a hundred leagues of water: 2d, to make the sun take, in thirty seconds, likenessas more exact than any portrait-painter ever took— likenesses that can be sold for a shilling at fifty per cent. profit: 3d, for New York and London to exchange words by wire so much faster than the earth can turn, that Londcn shall tell New York, at ten on Monday morning what was the price of consols at two o’clock Monday afternoon.” ‘That is a story,” said Helen, with a look of angelic reproach. ‘I accept that reply,’ said Hazel. As for me, I have got a smattering of so many subjects all full of incredible truths, that my faith in the impossibility of anything is gone. Ah! if James Watt was only here instead of John Hazel—James Watt from the Abbey, with a head as big as a pumpkin —he would not have gone a-groping about this island, writing on rocks, and erecting signals. No; he would have had some grand and bold idea worthy of the pro- position.’ ‘Well, so I think,’ said Helen, archly; ‘that great man with the great head would have begun by making a kite a hundred yards high,’ ‘Would he ? Well, he was quite capable of it.’ Vou! and rubbed it with phosphorus, and flown it the first tempest; and made the string fast to—the island itself.’ ‘Well, that is an idea,’ said Hazel, staring; ‘rather hyperbolical, I fear. But, after all, it is an idea.’ ‘Or else,’ continued Helen, ‘he would weave a thousand yards of some light fabric, and make balloons; then he would stop the pitch-fountain, bore a hole in the rock near it, and so get the gas, fill the balloon, inscribe them with our sad story and our latitade and longitude, and send them flying all over the ocean—there "’ Hazel was amazed. ‘I resign my functions to you,’ said he. ‘What imagination! What invention !’ ‘Oh, dear, no,’ said Helen, siyly; ‘acts of memory eometimes pass for invention, you know. Shall I tell you? When first you fell ill, you were rather light-headed, and uttered the strangest things, They would have made me laugh heartily, only I couldn’t—for crying. And you seid that about kites and balloons, every word.’ Did 1? Then I have most brains when I have least reason, that’s all.’ ‘Ay,’ said Helen, ‘and other strange things—very strange and bitter things. One [ should like to ask you about, what on earth you could mean by it; but perhaps you meant nothing, after all.’ ‘I'll soon tell you,’ said Hazel; but he took the precaution to add, ‘provided I know what it means myself.’ She looked at him steadily, and was on the point of seeking the explanation so

with what success may be imagined. She,

voice, and the exquisite touch of her velvet hand on his hot brow; for, womanlike, she laid her hand down on that burning brow to aid her words in scothing it. Nor did it occur to him just then that this ad- monition, delivered wih a kind maternal hand, maternal voice, came from the same young lady who had flown at him like # wild-cat with the very problem in her mouth. She mesmerized him, problem and all ; he subsided into a complacent languor, and at last went to sleep, thinking only of her. But the topic had entered his mind too deeply to be dismissed. It returned neat day, though in a different firm. You must know that Hazel, as he lay on his back in the boat and often in a half-drowsy way, watched the effect of the sun upon the boat's mast ; it now stood,a bare pole, and at certain hours acted like the needle of a dial casting by a shadow on the sande. Above all, he could see pretty well by means of this pole and its shadow when the sun attained its greatest elevation. He now asked Miss Rolleston to assist him in making this obser- vation exactly!

She obeyed his instructions, end the moment the shadow reached its highest angle, and showed the minutest symptom of deck nsion,she said, “Now!’ and Hazel called out in a loud voice :

‘Noon!’

‘And forty-nine minutes past eight at Sydney,’ said Helen, holding out her chron- ometer; for she had been sharp enovgh to get it ready of her own accord.

Hazel }ooked at her and at the watch with amazement and incredulity.

‘What?’ said he; ‘impossible! You can’t have kept Sydney t me all this while.’ ‘And pray why not!’ said Helen. ‘Have you forgetton that once somebody praised me for keping Sydney time? It helped you, sou ehow or other, to know where we were. ‘And so it will now,’ cried Hazel, exult- ingly. ‘But no, it is impessible. We have gone through scenes that—you can’t have — that watch up without missing a ay.’ ‘Indeed, but I have,’ said Helen. ‘Not wind my watch up! Why, if | was dying should wind my watch up. Ses, it requires no key; a touch or two of the fingers, and it is done. Oh, Iam remarkably constant in all my habits, and this is an old friend I never neglect. Do you remember that terrible night in the boat, when neither of us expected to see the morning—Oh, how good and brave you were!—well, | remem- ber winding it up that night. I kissed it, and bade it good-bye; but I never dreamed of not winding it up because I was going to be killed. What! am I not to be praised again, as I was on board shiv! Stingy! can't afford to praise one twice for the same thing.” ‘Praised!’ cried Hazel, excitedly; ‘wor- shipped, you mean. Why,.we have got the longitude by means of your chronometer. It is wonderful! It is providential! It is the finger of Heaven! Pen and ink, and let ane work it out.’ In his excitement he got up without assistance, and was soon busy calculating the longitude of Godsend Iele.

(To be continued.)

Machine Guns in War.

The announcement that an American officer has received permission to inspect the British machine guns at Woolwich, has called attention to their advantages and dis- advantages in war. A writer in the Pall Mall Gozette thus criticises the employment of machine guns on the field of battle:—“‘If the range is correct and the mark remains steady great execution will be done, but the slightest error will tnrow every bullet out, except at short range. Thus the French found that their attempts with the mitralleuse, even at such short distance, as 1,200 yards, were perfectly futile, and thet their new weapon had not the slightest chance against the field artillery of that time. Since then the German field artil- lery has more than doubled its efficency. Against their shrapnei, thrown with the present high velocities, the mitralleuse would have less chance than ever. The reply of the German army to the question, ‘What is the place of the ma- chine gun in the field of battle ?’ has been, ‘It has no place, and whatever additional meu and horses can be given should be devoted to increasing the field artillery.” Accordingly machine guns have not been introduced for the field, but the field artillery has been largely increased in pro- portion to the other arms. Exactly the same course has been pursued by the French and by every other great con-

tinental power. None have adopted machine guns for the field; all have increased and developed their field artillery. When we remember that

France, Germany, Austria, Turkey, Russia have all lately passed through the furnance of war, and had most of their crochetty dross burned out of them, their unanimous opinion ought surely to outweigh the theoretical ideas of a few partisans who still cling to the notion of finding in the machine gun a weapon worth the cost of the men

boldly offered; but her own courage failed her. She colored and hesitated.
