Tricks Of Vision.

NJ. Emil Sorel, in La Nature, says
''There are days on which, in certain
weather, and despite the curvature of
the earth, the distance of visibility is
doubled or more than doubled. This
phenomenon is explained to us by a
well-known law of physics five throw
coin into an empty vessel, it will be
hidden by the edge of the latter, at a
certain distance; but if we fill the YES
sci with water, the coin will become
visible. We have here case of re-
fraction such as is explained in ele-
mentary works on physics. Every one
also knows the theory of the mirage
put forth by the celebrated Monge, who
explains the phenomenon as due to a
liminution of the airs density in con-
tact with the superheated earth. 4
contrary theory will explain the mirage

atmosphere intensely hot, the sea and

remain relatively cold, and these strata
become superposed in the order of
their density. A luminous ray ema-
mating from the sea will pass from one
stratum into another of less density
there will be refraction, and an object
beneath the horizon will be seen above
it. This theory supposes two coudi-
tions, to wit, heating of the atmosphere.
while the sea and the earth remain re-
latively cold and calmness of it to per-
nit its strata to become superposed in
the order of their density 1t is pre-
cisely when these two conditions are
fulfilled that the phenomenon of the

Meteorologists have found there can be
no thunder and lightning without rain.
Harvest or beat lightning is produced BY
a distant storm.
Notices of mermaids are scattered
abundantly in books of bygone times,
mermen and mermaids, men OF the sea
and women of the sea, having been as

The third Richard was one Of the most
remarkable characters IN English history.
The old historians almost exhaust the
language in describing his wickedness,
and at the same time seem half awed by
his wonderful shrewdness. Yet a great
many people now believe that he was one
of the greatest kings who ever reigned
over England.
"A western newspaper writer says: IA
more remarkable sight than the mouth
of great whale recently stranded on the
coast can hardly be imagined. The
tongue would have been large load for
dray of the largest size, and several
men could have slowed themselves away
in the enormous mouth. The tip of the
upper jaw formed curious and shapely
bonnet"
Photographs taken by Tissandier and
Ducom from balloon at height of 500
metres above Paris show conclusively the
importance of the method for the instan-
taneous production of maps of any por-
ton of the earth's surface, particularly
of cities, fortresses and regions difficult
of access. Negatives have been obtained
as sharp and clear as those made upon
terra firma. Instantaneous methods and
extra sensitive plates are required.
Hugh Peters, in 1910 or thereabouts,
was active in getting up company at
Salem to engage in the fisheries on the
eastern coast, which the people of old
England had hitherto carried on exclu-
sively. In the course of two years six
large vessels were built in which voyages
were undertaken to Madeira, the Cana
ries and soon afterward to Spain, with
cargoes of slaves and fish, which found
q ready market. These vessels brought
back wines, sugars, and dried fruits.
This enterprise marked the beginning of
ship building and commerce in New
England.
At the time when SO many lives were
ost by the fire in Park Row, New York,
General Meigs suggested the use on such
occasions of an ordinary bow and arrow
TO throw line, under such circumstances,
within reach of the imperiled inmates of
q building. This has resulted in an in
vention by Mr.. w. A. Bartlett of an air
gun, which will throw a heavy line with
grapple hooks accurately at the spot
aimed at, and at height of $50 feet. 1t
weighs less than 100 pounds, and will
become part of the apparatus of every
New York hook and ladder company. It
will also be used for smashing heavy
plate glass in upper stories, dislodging
iron shutters, and in quickly raising hose
and ladders, regardless of distinctions,
to great height.

Insanity and Crime,

The relation between insanity and
crime is one both of cause and of effect.
Esquirol has shown an increase of in
sanity and suicides at each outbreak Of
the French revolution. Lumier declares
that the excitements of 1870 and 1871
were the more or less indirect causes Of
seventeen hundred cases of insanity.
This simply means that the same morbid
element, tending to pronounced Grim
inality in another, is brought to the front
by the common cause. Very frequently,
too, both tendencies can be seen in the
same individuals. Marat, for example,
had attacks of maniacal exaltation, and
passion for continually scribling. He
had sloping forehead, was prognathous,
had prominent jaw and high cheek
bones, and haggard eye, all of which
correspond closely with the insane type
of face Later his delusion of ambition
changed into one of persecution and
homicidal monomania. DR.. Lombroso
cites case after case, all telling the same
story. He includes Guiteau in this list,
and agrees with the opinion of an Italian
alienist that his trial was simply ''scan-
dalous." The real place for such beings
is in much needed institution-an asy.
lum for insane iminals.-Sciencs.

Gong up the White Mountains some years

we do not understand Gods dealings. He
tells us to go up higher, until we begin to

of love, of kindness. And we say: "Just and
