Into molten iron was discovered first by an American named Kelly and known as his alr boiling process. After the Ironworkers had seen it done they still would not believe it. “Some crank will be burning ice next thing,” they. sald. Some of his customers when they heard about it wrote Kelly that they wanted thelr iron made either in the regular way, and not by any new- fangled wmethod, or not at all, When the first blast was so strong that it melted the iron the spectators roared with laughter at what they called “Kelly’s fireworks” and laughed for ten years at his “folly.” When Besse- | mer introduced his process to the Brit- ish ironmakers they, too, roared with laughter at the “crazy Frenchman” and would not allow the “silly idea” to be meationed in their records. The steel rail proposition excited only de- rision. “Bosh! Stuff! Humbug! Non- sensel” sald the railroad directors when it was proposed to them. But after one road had tried it the steel mills could not keep up with the or- ders sent in. Hard on a Drowning Man. Vieuxtemps, the famous violinist, used to tell the following story: When crossing London bridge one day he was suddenly brushed aside by a wretched tatterdemallon, who climbed the parapet and plunged out into the river. The foot passengers crowded around Immediately to watch the un- fortunate man as he rose to the sur- face, and In a trice some one shouted, “I'll bet he drowns!” “Two to one he’ll swim ashore!” was the answer. The rest of the pedestri- ans joined In the betting. Meantime Vieuxtefaps rushed down to the river bank, secured a waterman and rowed out to the rescue. Just as the boatman was about to reach forth to grasp the poor fellow, who by this time was floundering about In the wa- ter, having lost his desire for death, the spectators above cried out: “Leave him alone! There'’s a bet on it!” The oarsman drew back into the boat, and the unfortunate wretch sank before their eyes. Peculiar Light Giving Animals. A peculiar light giving animal found in southern Californian waters is the heteropod. The heteropods, dazzling white and almost shapeless, can often be seen floating on the clear water. Their bodles are almost transparent, and they have in addition to a long tall a powerful sucker, by which they cling to seaweed. When these crea- tures are Irritated they seem to emit a light from &1l over the body, though one writer describes one in which the light—red In this case—seemed to radl- ate from the center of the animal. Of all the light giving animals the salpa is sald to be the most wonderful. Like the heteropod, this anlmal is provided with claspers that enable it to fasten to seaweed and rocks. So plentiful are they in Californian waters that the Santa Catalina channel, which is from elghteen to twenty miles wide and about forty-five miles long, Js at times lterally covered with them as far as the eye can reach. Covering the entire surface and gleaming like gems In the sunlight, they present a beautiful pic ture. These animals constitute a del- fcacy much sought for by whales. Some of them shed a silvery light, while others yleld blue and others red light. Rivers That Flow Backward. Near Argostoll, a town on one of the sea water, rolling on an average fifty- five gallons a second, penetrate Into the fissures of the cliffs, flow rapidly Inland and finally gradually disappear into the crevices of the soil. Two of these water courses are sufficlently poweértul to turn all the year round the wheels of two mills constructed by an enterprising Englishman. This seems at first sight absurd on the face of it, but it 1s quite easily explained. The hills of the Island are of soft, cal- careous rock, full of fissures, and suck up water like Immense sponges. In consequence the pools In their subter- ranean caverns are always lower than the surrounding sea, so to restore the dalance these little brooks, fed by the ‘waves, are always descending Inland. The, curious yet natural result of the constant evaporation of the sea water 1s that gigantic masses of salt crystals are constantly forming In the caves.— Strand Magazine. Straw Rope Swings. Korea is perhaps the oldest country In the world, and the customs and a¢- tions that go to make up the daily life of the .people are not at all governed by the logic or tradition which moves 0s.on our enlightened way. They have no clearly regulated sports, nothing ap- parently that could be likened to a national game. They pass. most of their recreation hours swinging in steaw rope swings and seem entirely happy In the sport. The straw rope, 1f well made, 18 extremely durable and can stand considerable weight, a8 may be ' judged when three ablebodied young men impose their weight upon the swing, standing on the shoulders of . one. another .after the manner. of acrobats. It may be very fine pastime, but the average American, it is safe to say, would find in it very little appeal. A Canton Glock. - The famous clepsydra or watch cloc! of Canton 18 housed In a temple on the ity ‘walls. Three big earthen jars on successive shelves and a fourth and lowest one with a wooden cover con- stitute the whole clepsydra.

THURSD Greek islands, four little torrents of || "' ‘Ants as Gueats of Plants. 'The ants which are really protective tv plants are not those which obtain thelr food, Indirectly for the most part through the aphides, from the vegeta- ble kingdom, but those which are real- ly carnlvorous. These are numerous in temperate climates, and their useful- ness to agriculture and sylviculture s Incontestable. Thus the field ant Is a Jreat Insect destroyer. A mnest of this bpecles I8 capable of destroying’ as many as twenty-eight caterplllars and grasshoppers a minute, or 1,600 an hour, and such.a colony Is at work day and night during the pleasant season. In the arid plains of Amerlca the beneficent work of ants is revealed In the isles of verdure around thelr hills. There are_ plants hospitable to ants, which furnish them shelter and often food, within the cavities of which the instincts of the ants prompt them to take their abode. This Is the case with several ferns, among them the Polypodium nectariferum, the sterile fronds of which bear nectarles on thelr lower face and are, moreover, of a shape favorable to sheltering the in- Bect. Sign of a Trained Nurse. “I used to wonder why it was that I noticed so many young women lugging sult cases all over town,” sald the man oxl the street corner. “At first I thought perhaps they were Independent young persons who were on their way to the Grand Central station or to the ferry- boats to take trains, but then. I no- ticed them In parts of the town where they couldn’t possibly be making for a rallroad station, since they were go- Ing In the wrong directions. Now I have learned who these women are. Most of them are trained nurses. When they leave the hospitals or their homes to attend a case they pack their uni- forms and other necessaries in these suit cases, which they carry with them. So when you see a young wom- an carrying a suit case and bound in a direction away from a boat or railroad station it's very likely she's a trained nurse and is either starting out to at- tend a case or Is returning from one.” ~New York Press. Colors of the Bluebird. Of the male bluebird Thoreau sald, “He carrles the sky on his back.” To this John Burroughs added, “and the earth on his breast.” The bird’s back, wings and tail, chin and throat are a vivid blue, while his breast and flanks are a chestnut brown and his abdomen a dirty white. The female s very much duller in coloring, often having a red- dish tone that extends from the middie of the back over the shoulder. The Seminole Indians say that the male bluebird, once flew so high that his back rubbed against the sky, which Imparted to him its own azure tint. Returning to earth, his wife so admired Gis new coat that she determined to bave a like one for herself and the next morning flew away to-get it, but the day proving somewhat cloudy the col- or ‘given to her dress was not so bril- \lant as was that received by her mate. : The. Price. If one sets one’s heart on the ex- ceptional, the far off—on riches, on fame, on power—the chances are he will be disappointed. He will waste his time seeking a short cut to these things. There is no short cut. For anything worth having one must pay the price, and the price is always work, patience, love, self sacrifice—no prom- 1se to pay, but the gold of real service. His Name. An unpopular man who was refused membership in a certaln aristocratic club had the audacity to write to the elub secretary demanding the name of the man who blackballed him. The sec- retary could not resist the chance of sending the following reply: “Sir, 1 have recelved your letter demanding the name of the man who blackballed you. His name is Legion,”. { A myriad of men are born.

It is said that he.was led to turn_his attention to balloon making from the following incident: A French laundress, wishing to dry a petticoat quickly, placed it on a basket work frame over a_ stove. To prevent the heat from escaping by the opening at the top of the petticoat she drew the belt strings closely together and tled them. Gradually the garment dried and became lighter, and as the stove continued to give out heat and rarefy the air concentrated under the basket work frame the petticoat began to move and finally rose in the air. This #o astonished the laundress that she ran to her neighbors and asked them to come and witness the strange sight. Montgolfier, was among. .those that came, in.
