WHY Ireland Wears the Green.

Green was never heard Of as ma
tional or party color until 1898, when
the United lrishmen accepted it, for
the following reasons: The ancient
flag of Ireland was a golden harp on a
dark blue ground, as now depicted or
cmblazoned in the Irish quarter, the
third, of the royal standard, and the
revolutionary leaders, being anxious to
unite together all classes Of Irishmen,
began in that respect the exact con-
verse of the present agitators, and to
join the Orangemen to the rest of their
countrymen, adopted green as their
Distinguishing color, which is Of course
produced by mixing together gold and
blue. At the time, therefore, of the
institution of the order Of st. Patrick,
in 1873, the only and undoubted ma
tional color was dark blue, and that
would probably have been the color of
the ribbon, but that it had already
been appropriated by the order of the
garter, which was originally light blue,
but had been altered by the Hanover
ian monarch to its present color to dis
tinguish their knights from those whom
the two pretenders continued to invest
with the old light blue ribbon. Hence,
by the way, the expression, true blue"
Under these circumstances it was ori-
ginally proposed that the st. Patrick
ribbon should be orange, but as this
would have savored too much Of party,
it was ultimately determined that it
should be the old color of the garter
light blue.-London Truth.

which it produces. Thus the sound
wave produced must at first be of the
nature of bore or breaker. But as
such n state of motion is unstable, after
proceeding moderate distance the
sound becomes analogous to other loud
but less violent sounds, such as those
of the discharge of guns. Were there
few clouds, were the air Of nearl Y uni
form density, and the fash short one,
this would completely describe the
phenomenon, and we should have a
thunder clap, according to the greater
or less proximity Of the seat of dis.
charge. But as has long been well
known, not merely clouds but surfaces
of separation of masses Of different
density, such rs constantly occur in
thunder storm, reflect vibrations in the
air, and thus we may have many sue
cessivc echoes, prolonging the original
sound. But there is another cause,
often more eff cient than these. When
the fash is long one, all its parts be-
ing nearly equidistant from the observ-
er, he hears the sound from all these
parts simultaneously; but if its parts
be at very different distances from him,
he hears succcssively the sounds from
portions further and further distant
from him. IF the flash be much zig
Jagged, long portions Of its course may
run at one and the same distance from
him. and the sounds from these arrive
simultaneously at the ear. The cx-
treme distance at which thunder is
heard is not great, when we consider
the frequent great density Of the sound.
No trustworthy observation gives in
general more than about nine or ten
miles, though there are cases in which
it is possible that it may have been
heard heard fourteen miles off. But
the discharge of single cannon is Of
ten heard at fifty miles, and the
noise of siege or naval engagement
has certainly been heard a distance of
much more than 100 miles.

The Philosophy OF Thunder.

Professor TAFT the most eminent
scientific authority on the subject, thus
explains the noise made by thunder
The origin Of the sound is, in all cases,
to be looked for in the instantaneous
and violent dilation Of the air along
the track Of the lightning flash, partly
no doubt, due to the disruptive effects
of electricity of which I have already
spoken, but mainly due to the exccs-
sive rise of temperature which rem
ders the air for moment so brilliant.
ly incandescent. There is thus an ex'
tremely sudden compression of the ali
all round the track of the spark, and
less sudden, but still rapid, rush Of
the air all into the partial vacuum
