Ten Million Years More, A German scientist, sweltering in Berlin on a very warm day, hopefully tooked forward to the time when the sun’s heat will be much less than it is at present. This desideratum is an- pounced to occur in about 10,000,000 years. WHAT HOME IS. Home has a cool hand and a soft voice—and sympathy. Home is where you can speak your mind and criticise yous employer. Home is where you can pull off your shoes and put om your slippers. Home has a quiet rest for the tired head, and home is where you can cry out your heartweariness. Home is where you can shove the day’s burdens inte the hall closet and hold yourself straight and free once more. A home is @ responsibility, but not any more so now than in the time of our fathers. No man or woman worthy of the name will shirk a re- sponsibility that means the welfare of our country. It is that responsi- bility that makes sturdy citizens and selects great men to rule us. Home is earth's Eden to those who wish it to be so and will strive to make it so. A little more thought- fulness, a little less selfishness; a lit- tle of self-abnegation and a good deal of sentiment; much of imagina- tion and a great lot of lovableness; an ideal to grow to and enough prac- ticability to keep things moving smoothly; such constitute the haven that most of us look forward to and that some of us reach. SCIENTIFIC BREVITIES. The American quail has been suc- eessfully acclimatized in Sweden. One inch of rain equals 100 tons to the acre. Etymologists declare that the sugar- oane has 227 varieties of insect ene mies. Dew falls on a yellow surface more readily than on green. On red and black it will not usually form. On September 7, 1896, the astrono- mer Wolf made a record by discovering | miles were constructed in seven planetoids in one evening. Tho silkworm thread is one five- thousandth of an inch in diameter, that of the spider one thirty+thou- sandth. The sun’s light is equal to 5,563 wax eandles at one foot from the eye. It would take 800,000 full mons to equal sloudless sunshine. Vaccination is very strictly enforeed in Germany, and very loosely in France. German 5 2allpox is only 110 a year; that of France 14,000. NOTES FOR RAILROADERS. Our miles of railroad track exceed by more than 10,000 all the tracks of Europe.
