instinctivey to the Elusive joys of earth, and We

taken idea in regardsto the stamp tax on checks.
The new law does not in any way affect this tax
and two cent stamp must be attached to all
checks the same as heretofore. Many have OBJ
tanned the idea that this tax has been repealed,

Do not be above your business; he who turns
up his nose at his work, quarrels with his
bread and butter. He is poor smith who quar-
rels with his own sparks there is no sham
about any honest calling; don't be afraid of
soiling your hands-there is plenty of soap to
be had. All trades are good to traders. You
cannot get honey if you are frightened at bees,
nor plant corn if you are afraid of getting
mud on your boots. When you can dig fields
with tooth pick. blow ships along with fans,
and grow plum cakes in fowerpots, then it will
be fine time for dandies.

nicious stencil and livid flame, 1t consumes
even flint and iron nor could it be extin-
gushed with water" Florentine monk,
who composed on il descriptive poem in
Latin, speaks of sand, acids, and urine as
moderating its fury.
Pere Daniel relates that Philip Augustus Of
France, having found at Acre a quantity of
the Greek fre-compound ready prepared,
brought it with him to France, and used 1t
for burning English vessels at the siege of
Dieppe.
In 1888, when the Bishop of Norwich be-
sieged Ypres, the garrison is said to have
defended itself so well, and particularly with
Greek fire and certain engines called guns,
that the English were obliged to raise the
siege with such precipitation that they left
behind them their great guns, which were of
inestimable value. Afterward, the remainder
of that army we're besieged in the town of
Barburgh by the French, who threw such
quantities of Greek fire into it that third
part was burned, and the English were
obliged to capituate.
According TO Patio de la Croix, the author
of ''L'Histoire de Genghis Khan, this Tartar
conqueror of the East who took Pekin in
1915, had in his army elephants charged with
the fire-tubes through which Greek fire was
blown.
General Bardin, cited in the ''Dictionnaire
de la Conversation, thus enumerates, after
the ancient authorities, the machines of pro-
pulsion:-
''Great or small machines, with springs, or
neurobalistic Gas that of our igure) sarba-
canes, hand-siphons, as the Greeks called
them, and kind of m0rtdr, which the
Romans called phtala 1t was fired in in
famed masses, from the size of an olive to
that of q hogsbead"
The dsttOches, or ancient bombshells, con-
tanning this fire, were made of baked earth.
The first cannon, says Villaret, were made on
purpose to project them.
Paoli, a celebrated chemist of Rome, made
an offer, in 1902, to Louis XIV of France, to
revive the Greek fire, more terrible than
ever; and Dupre, goldsmith of Paris, would
have sold the same secret to Louis XIV, but
was forbidden to reveal it, Experiments
were made with it on the canal of Versailles,
under the inspection of the Marquis de
Montesquieu, and boats struck with balls
containing it, below their water-line, were set
on fire there.
The slinging-machine represented was
used, in the fourteenth century, both for
Greek fire and TO propel balls. By the two
wheels, a cord, attached to a tun of Greek
fire, was stretched very tense, so as to bend
kind of flexible wooden bow. When the
cord was suddenly loosed, the elastic rebound
of the bow in straightnine out would fling
the tun to considerable distance with its in
fammable contents.
Prisoners taken from the enemy have some
times been pitched over the ramparts by
these machines.
The most important work on Greek fire is
that Of NM. Reinaud and Fave, where the
reader bent on mischief will find details be-
yond our scope.
