A FACT DIsPROvED.-The researches
of the British Royal Society, extending
over 200 years, fail to show single case of
sudden change of color in human hair, and.
although the popular belief is strong in
the affirmative, men of science doubt that
it ever occurred outside the pages of novels
or poems.

Why AND WHEN LAMPS EXPLODE

Why AND WHEN LAMPS EXPLODE
| ALI explosions of coal oil lamps are caused
| by the vapor or gas that collects in the
space above the oil. When full of course a
lamp contains no gas, but Immediately on
lighting the lamp. consumption of oil, be-
gins soon leaving space for gas, which
commences to form as the lamp warns up,
and after burning short time sufficient
gas will accumulate to form an explosion.
The gas in lamp will explode only when
ignised. In this respect it is like gun pow
der. C6eap or inferior oil is always the
most dangerous.
The flame is communicated to the gas ia
the following manner: The wick tube in
all lamps is made larger than the wick
which is to pass through it. 1t would ros
do to have the wick work tightly in the
burner on the contrary, it is essential that
it move up and down with perfect ease. In
this way it is unavoidable that space in the
tube is left along the sides of the wick
sufficient for the fame from The burner to
pass down into the lamp and explode the
gas.
Many things may occur to cause the
flame to pass down the wick tube and ex-
plode the lamp.
1. A lamp may be standing on table or
mantle and slight puff of wind from the
open window, or the sudden opening of
door, cause an explosion.
2. A lamp may be taken up quickly from
a table or mantle and instantly explode
3. A lamp is taken into an entry where
there is a draft, or out of doors, and an ex-
plosion ensues.
4. A lighted lamp is taken up q higb. of
stairs or is raised quickly to place it on the
mantle, resulting in an explosion. In all
these cases the mischief is done by the air
movement-either by suddenly checking
the draft or by forcing air down the chin.
ney against the flame.
3. Blowing down the chimney 10 extin-
guish the light is frequent cause of ex-
plosion.
6. Lamp explosions have been caused by
using chimney broken off at the top, or
one that has piece broken out, whereby
the draft is rendered variable and the flame
unsteady.
Z. Sometimes thoughtless person puts
small-sized wick in large burner, thus
leaving considerable space in the tube along
the edges of the wick.
8. An old burner, with its draft clogged
up, which rightfully should be thrown away,
sometimes continued in use, and the final
result is an explosion.

WINKING OXEN.-Of course we. can
drive the oxen home, we told the farmer.
The idea of doubling our ability, when we
have seen them handled every day for the
past month He handed over the long whip
and started them, we taking the proper po-
sition just in front. 1t was easy enough,
though rather moDotonous, till we met a
team going the other way then we 'geed'
those oxen into ditch, and running against
tree came to a standstill. We received q
pleasant smile from the teamster, as we
had given him the whole road. But there
we were. We hollered 'gee,' 'haw,' and
back, till our throat felt rough. We
couldn't get ahead unless we borrowed an
az and cut the tree down, and when we
tried to back them they spread out from
the pole, and stood flcc to face, nearly
choking themselves.
Then our patience gave out we kicked
the near one in the RIBS he playfully re-
torted by switching US across the face with
his fy-dsperser. We lit pipe and puffed
smoke into their nostrils. This was a hap
py thought they sneezed over US and
backed, but forgot to stop until they got a
stone wall between them. We went home
TO oorr6w q steam derrick, out before the
arrangements Snre made the oxen came in
view and calmly stopped in front of the
barn. You may think there is nothing
human in an OK. but they saw US, and one
had a positive grin on his face. We re-
frain from expressing our opinion of oxen.

NOTHING can be worse for child than
to be frightened. The effect of the scare it
is slow to recover from; it remains some
times until maturity, as is shown in many
instances in morbid sensitiveness and ex-
cessive nervousness. Not unfrequently,
fear is employed as means of discipline.
Children are controlled by being made to
believe that something terrible will happen
them and punished by being shut up in
dark rooms, or by being put in a place they
stand in dread of No one without vivid
memory Of his childhood, can comprehend
how entirely cruel such things are. We
have often heard grown persons tell of the
suffering they have endured, as little child
ren under like circumstances, and recount
the irreparable inquiry which they are SURE
they have received. No parent, no nurse,
capable of alarming the young is fitted for
her position. Children, as nea;as possible,
should be trained not to show the sense of
fear, which above everything else is to be
feared in their education, early and late.
