END OF THE SELFRIDGE COURT.-The Selfridge
courtmartial adjourned to-day at noon, having
signed the record OF the proceedings and findings,
and transmitted them to the Secretary, who at
once sent them to Judge Advocate General
Remey for consideration. 1t seems TO be
conceded that the only question for decision
was that OF the sufciency OF Capt Selfridges pre-
cautions In firing at the targets and IL is thought
that that was more matter OF common sense
than Of naval law. The sessions Of the court were
greatly shortened by the admission OF the testi-
mony given before the japanese Court OF inquiry,
which lasted over month.

Childfen,S Dress.

From the Leeds Mercury.
sensible note OF warning is sounded by the
Lancet on the subject OF children's dress. SUM-
mer has come and during Warm weather children
are allowed to play and come home from play
under very risky conditions OF catching chills or
colds. 1.-The whole rationale OF children's dress is
that the warmth should be evenly distributed. II
Is az once irrational and unsafe leave the neck
arms, and part or the chest exposed while the
warmth OF the clover portions or the body Is main
tained with winter precautions" AS a matter OF
common sense, quite apart IRON medical preach
ing, why should children at any part OF the year
go about with any part OF the body exposed? IL
cannot be good for children any more than for
adults. Yet In winter children frequently seen
with their legs bare and red with cold, their fond
parents huggtng the deluSion that this makes
them hardy. SO In summer; the clothing may be
lighter than in winter, but no part Of the body
should be neglected, and the warmer the clothing
Is in immediate contact with the body, instead OF
being worn outside, the better for young aud old

PROSPECTS OF AN APPROPRIATION FOR NEW BUILD
ING AT THIS SESSION OF CONGRESS.
There was no quorum present at the meeting OF
the Senate committee on public buildings and

acted. The proposed extension OF the National
Museum by the construction OF another building
on the west side Of the Smithsonian was discussed
informally. Plans for the proposed building have
been filed with the committee. The projected
building will conform In exterior appearance and
construction to the existing National Museum
structure except that II will be one-story higher
and will contain two exhibition floors instead OF
one IL Is estimated that the building will cost
$5OOO0O and In view Of the rapidly de-
mand for space the members OF the committee
present to-day decided that the appropriation
ought to be made at this session OF Congress 1t is
probable that at the first meeting attended by q

PerSOnificatiOm Of the Rainbow.

From the Popular Scientific Monthly.
The rainbow is one OF the atmospheric phenom.
ena that have been most generally personihed.
People OF almost every part OF the world have
made OF it a living and terrible monster whose
most venal Offense is that OF drinking up the
waters OF springs and ponds. This belief Is found
among the Burmese, Zulus, Indians OF Washington
Territory, ancient MeXicans and Firms, and exists
among the popular rancies OF the Slavs and Ger
mans, and some OF the French populations. The
ZuluS and the karens OF Burmah imagine that the
rainbow spreads sickness and death. The Karens,
when they see one, say to their children: 1.-The
rainbow has come down to drink; do not play for
fear harm may come to you'll" Very singularly,
too, the street boys in VOhynia run away, crying,
"Run, 1t Will drink you up," In DahOmey. the
rainLOw is regarded as a heavenly serpent,
"Danh," which insures happiness The modern
Greeks hold 1t To be q benencent but just and
severe hero; they say that any one who jumps
over a rainbow viii change sex at once; but this
saying which is also current In Alsace, is only q
picturesque way OF indicating the impossibilry OF
transforming a man into q woman, or a woman
into man. The Delians offered cakes to the rain
bow, and the Peruvians put Its image on the walls
or their temples The CARDS considered its ap-
pearance on the sea favorable presage; but on
the earth its influence was pernlciOus and they
hid from its view. 1t was persOni1ed by viper.
