Tho Ori-i,, Of q Poem

Lcr-feilow's poem Of this title tells
how the AIoravian nuns "consecrated the

scented it to the hero with inlunctions
that he should bear himself with bravery
and ,nagnani1nity under its folds and
that if re fell in battle the banner should
be used rs liis martial cloak and s.lrouu."
The concluding lines are:

The found Of TaundeN

One os the most terse and succirct

he says that the sound which is known
as thunder Is due simply to the fact that
that is, aasl, Of lightning. is suddenly
raised to very high temperature. and
has its volume. moreover. considerably
increased. The column OF gas thus
suddenly heated and expanded Is son,e-
times several miles long. and as the
duration Of the fash Is not even a
rai!lionth Of 9 second, it follows that
the noise bursts forth at once frou,
the whole column. though for an olsser.
vcr in any one place it commences where
the lightning il ut the least distance.
In precise terms. according to II. Him,
the beginning OF the thunder clap gives
us the minimum distance of the light

gives us the length of the column. lie
also remarks that when flash OF Light
ming strikes the ground. it Is not ncces-

that a bullet whistles in traversing the

The Making Of Fancy Candles,

alone is i'll the quality OF the fruit. Others
assert that we have not acquired the
French secret of preparing the syruls and

the fruit. The finish of fine candles is
