It has usually been thought that the * |noise of thunder is caused by theclos- ing up of the vacuum created by the passage of the lightning. the air rush- ing in from all sides with a clap. But the intepsity of the noise is rather dis- proportionate, and it is now supposed thunder is due to the intense heating | of gases. especially the gas of water | vapor along the line of electric Qis- charge and the consequent conversion of suspended moisture into steam at enormous pressure. in this way the crackle with which a peal of thunder sometimes begins might be regarded as the sound of ‘Steam explosion on a small scale caus- ed by discharges before the main | flash. The rumble would be the over- lapping steam explosions. and the final clap, which sounds loudest, would be the steam explosion nearest to the auditor. @ In the case of rumbling thunder the lightning is passing from cloud to cloud. When the flash passes from | the earth to the clouds the clap is | loudest at the beginning. Trowbridge gave substance to these suppositions by causing electric flashes to pass clothed in soaked cotton wool, and he succeeded in magnifying the crack of the electric spark to a terrifying ex- tent.—Exchange. THE PHALANX. of Ancient Greece. Greece was a square battalion or body of soldiers formed in ranks and files compact and deep. with their shields joined and pikes crossing each other so as to render it almost impossible to break it. At first the phalanx consisted of 4,000 men. but this number was aft- wrward doubled by Philip of Macedon. and the double phalanx is hence often called the Macedonian phalanx. Polyb- ius describes it thus: “It was a square of pikemen, con sisting of 16 in flank and 500 in front. The soldiers stood so close together that the pikes of the fifth rank extend- ed three feet beyond the front. The i rest, whose pikes were not serviceable | owing to their distance from the front, couched them upon the shoulders of those who stood before them and. so locking them together in file, pressed forward to support and push on the former rank, by which means the as- irresistible.” The spears of those be- hind also stopped the missiles of the three feet long. The word phalanx is also used for any combination of peo- ple distinguished for solidity and firm- ness. A grand phalanx consisted of 16,384 men. Charlotte Corday. Charlotte Corday, the slayer of Ma- rat, was, according to the best au- i thorities, of noble lineage. Unlike the blood flowed in her veins. She was well educated, and not a whisper was ever heard against her moral charac- ter. It does not appear that she ever manifested the slightest signs of in- | sanity or fanaticism. Her action in killing Marat was attended by nothing like madness or hallucination. Taught to believe that the Paris butcher was the one man who hindered the right- eous settlement of the strife that was destroying her country, she quietly went down to the great city and in a { very unostentatious manner dispatched the man she believed to be her people’s greatest enemy.—New York American. Some Famous Dunces. stances of torpid and uninteresting boyhood. Gibbon was pronounced “dreadfully dull.” and the utmost that { was predicted of Hume in his youth was that “he might possibly become a steady merchant.” Adam Clarke, after- ward so deeply skilled in oriental lan- ed by his father to be "a grievous dunce,” and of Boileau, who became a model for Pope, it was said that he was a youth of little understanding. Dryden was “a great numskull,” who went through a course of education at Westminster, but the *‘stimulating properties of Dr. ferrule were thrown away upon the drone who was to be known as ‘Glori- ous John.'"—London Standair. Stated a Fact. A clergyman highly esteemed for his many excellent qualities. of which ora- tory is not one, has recently had placed in his church by his loving congrega- tion a new pulpit. It is a fine piece of work, ornate with carving and artistie embellishment. But the text inscribed on it, considering the effect of the good rector’s sermons, might have been more happily chosen. *“He giveth his belov- ed sleep,” it runs.

They Come From Titanium and Are as Firm as the Diamond. The diamond has ever been regarded as possessing one quality that placed it beyond rivalry—namely. that of ‘hard- | ness. There are several gems that com- pete with it in beauty, and at least one —the ruby—when of rare size outranks | it in costliness, but none in the whole Mot equals it in hardness. The hardest | steel cannot equal the diamond in that respect. But there are at least two products | of chemical experiment that have | proved, according to French chemists, to be as hard as diamonds. These are | produced from the rare metal titanium. | One experimenter, it is claimed. suc- ceeded in preparing titanium in the electric furnace. In the pure form it is much bharder than steel or quartz. and when combined with silicon or carbon so as to form a silicide or bo- ride of titanium it matches the dia- mond itself in hardness. Titanium resembles tin in its chem- ical properties, and it is the character- istic element in the beautiful red and brown crystals of rutile. These, in the shape of needles, are sometimes found | penetrating large white quartz crys- | tals, forming gems that the French call “leve’s arrows.”—New York Press. KEPT ABOVE GROUND. .‘lngeninus Way Major Hook Evaded | the Terms of a Will. | Among ingenious ways of evading a { will the plan followed by Major Hook 1and recorded in “Ancient, Curious and | | Famous Wills” may be commended: A county newspaper some years ago recorded the death of a Major Hook and spoke of him as *“a singular character.” *“He died,” says the re- \port, “on Monday sennight at his house, Ham street, Ham common. He was an officer in the East India com- pany's service and reached the age of seventy-five. His house was remark- able for its dingy and dilapidated con- dition.” 1 His wife had become entitled to a {life annuity, bequeathed to her in | these ambiguous terms: *“And the same shall be paid to her as long as she is above ground.” When, there- i fore, the good lady died her husband very naturaily objected to forfeit his income by putting her below ground and ingeniously devised a mcde of keeping bher in a room which he allot- ited “to her sole and separate use,” placing a glass case over her remains. For thirty years he thus prolonged his | enjoyment, if not of his wife's society, at least of her income. ! Mineral Microbes. Some interesting experiments have been made with ancient medals, vases and so forth of lead that are gradually disintegrating in the museum of Clu- ny. After a certain number of years they fall into dust. The cause, it is thought, lies in the presence of minute the objects have become impregnated during their long burial in the soil or under water. These microscopic im- purities play the part of bacteria and microbes in living bodies. In other words. the lead is “sick” and unless the noxious matter can be removed will inevitably perish. Curiously enough, it is found that if traces of salt are imparted to a fresh mass of lead it is a ed and eventually falls to pieces like the objects in the mu- seum at Cluny. quantities of saline matter with which | Speaking English. Almost any one who speaks English might be put down successively in balf a dozen places where English is supposed to be the mother tongue and hear as many dialects spoken, not one of which he would understand until it was interpreted. An old Lancashire worthy and a London lady were one day occupants of a railway carriage. The train had been waiting long at a | certain station, and there was no ap- pearance of it starting when the | worthy remarked: “They’re a gly. tanglesome lot here.” “I beg your pardon,” said the lady. “I'm sayin’ they're a gey daidlin’ lot here.” “I really beg your pardon, sir.” “I'm observin' they are a vera dreich 1 lot here the nicht.” “Really 1 must again beg your par- don. I don't comprehend you.” “I was just tryin’ to say that the train was late.” “Indeed, sir, it is—very late,” agreed the lady and then collapsed.—London Tit-Bits. Orderliness Is Big Asset. To teach children habits of neatness, system and order is to insure some de- gree, at least, of success. Yet they are often brought up amid disorder and confusion, allowed to throw things down just where they use them and to form slovenly and slipshod habits. They are not taught to put things where they belong, and consequently they grow up shackled with handi- caps which they can rarely throw off. If there is any delusion in the world it is that doing “things just for now,” |dropping things wherever one may happen to be temporarily, saves time. On the contrary, this is a great time waster and a great demoralizer of | character. A bad habit not only tends to repeat itself, but to increase the tendency in that direction. If you were not taught the beauti- ful lesson of orderliness in your youth, teach it to yourself now.—Success Mag- azine. Needed a Sea Turn. Captain Lane had retired from active pursuit of his beloved calling and had {tarned his attention to town affairs. Having succeeded in rousing the citi- zens to the need of a drinking fountain and also to the need of two coats of paint on the town hall, Captain Lane felt himself a valued and important | person. One day he was asked by a sojourn- er in the town to give his opinion of the present administration. “It's pretty fair,” said the captain slowly. “Of course there’s things that could be different and would be better 80, but on the whole ’tis pretty fair. But now I'll tell ye—I'm speaking from experience, you understand—things at the seat o’ gover’ment won’t be run as they could be run till the people o’ this country make up their minds to stop confining their votes to landlub- bers!”"—Youth’s Companion, Crafty. - 3 “What does the veterinary surgeon nezt door advise for your pet lap dog’s sickness?” “He forbids my playing the piano.”— Fliegende Blatter. - Realism.

This 1ll Natured Fruit Is Remarkably Tenacious of Life. i The prickly pear is said to be so tenacious of life that a leaf or even a small portion of a leaf, if thrown on the ground, strikes out roots within a short time and becomes the parent of a fast growing plant. Mischievous though the African prickly pear may be, it is not without its good qualities. Its juicy fruit, though rather deficient in fldvor, is delightfully cool and refreshing in the dry heat of summer, and a kind of treacle is made from it. Great caution must be exercised in peeling this curious fruit, the proper way being to impale the fruit on a fork or stick while one cuts it open and removes the skin. The individ- ual who undertakes to pluck this treacherous fruit with unguarded fin- gers meets with an experience he does not soon forget. Concentrated essence of stinging nettle seems all at once to assail hands, lips and tongue, and the skin, wherever it comes in con- tact with the ill natured fruit, is cov- ered with a group of minute bristly hairs, apparently growing from it and venomous and irritating to the last de- gree. In dry weather these spiteful little stings do not even wait for the newly arrived victim, but fly about, light as thistledown, ready to settle on any one who has not learned by experience to give the prickly pear bush a wide berth.
