The Moon and Insomnia.
New York Sun.

1.-THE most singular case of insomnia
of which l ever heard" said q physi-
clan, "is that of friend of mine in o
neighbCring town, lady of middle
age. With the exception of her pecu-
liar insomnia, she Is In robust health.
She Is an uncommonly sound sleeper
in the dark Of the NOON but as the
new moon approaches its first quarter
she il attacked with wakefulness. She
can sleep only at long intervals during
the night, and only few minutes at .
time. This sleeplessness increases
with the fulling of the moon, and by
the time that stage in the moons
course Is reached she Is unable to
obtain even the slightest slumber.
She remains in state of utter wake
fulness until the moon begins to wane,
when she gradually grows sleepy
again, and is able to sleep longer and
sounder as the moon disappears.
When the period Of dark moon has
arrived she resumes her unbroken
slumber. This condition has prevailed
for more than ten years"

When you forget the beauty OF the scene
Where you draw breath and sleep:
Leave city walls for CLEANS OF sky that lean
To hills where forests creep.
The nights, the fields the wide winged air
Make the embracing day;
Not city streets. That little life Of care
Steals our great Joys away.
Live with the spaces, wake with bird and cloud
Spread sentIent with the elm;
Our home Is nature. even To the proud
Arcs OF the sunsets realm.
Then say the scene God made Is glorious!
breathe deep and smile again.
The glow and noble dusks, victorious
Dispense regrets and pain. -6cTibnet'

The Noise Of Thunder.
Pittsburg Chronicle.

f1ttSDurR Chronicle.
One of the best descriptions of q
common natural phenomenon Is that
recently given by M. Him, in which
he says that the sound which In known
as thunder Is due simply to the fact
that the air traversed by an electric
spark-that is, fash of lightning
L. suddenly raised to q very high tenn
perature, and has its volume, more
over, considerably increased. The col
umn of gas thus suddenly heated
and expanded Ii sometimes several
miles long, and as the duration
of the fash Is not even mil
lionth of q second 1t follows that
the noise bursts ut once from the
whole column, though for an observer
in any one place IL commences when
the lightning Ii ut the least distance
In precise terms, according to NJ
Him, the beginning of the thunder
clap gives MS the minimum distance of
the lightning, and the length Of the
thunder clap gives us the length of
the column. He also remarks that
when fash of lightning strikes the
ground, 1t La not necessarily from the
place struck that the first noise Is
heard. Again, he points out that q
bullet whistles in traversing the air,
so that we can, to q certain extent,
follow its fight, the same thing also
happening with q falling meteorite
just before striking the earth. The
noise actually heard has been COM
pared to the sound produced when
one tears linen. 1t L. due really to
the fact that the air rapidly pushed
on one side in front of the projectile,
whether bullet or meteorite, quickly
rushes back to fill the vacuum left In
the rear.

The Venerable Historian Discusses Ex-
Secretary Bayard's Rodney Grafton.
dispatch from Washington to the
Philadelphia Record says: Hon. George
Bancroft listened with attention to day
while the letter of Thomas Mexican of
Delaware, (which ex Secretary Bayard in
corporated in his Cesar Rodney address),
was read to him. Then he said that,
while it was interesting, as all unpub.
lished historical letters would be, II con.
tanned no new information. and some of
his statements, especially the dates,
were inaccurate He said that In his his.
tory he had given correctly Atbe sub
stance of what Mexican tells in his let
ter.
At Mr. Bancroft's request his son col
lated from Volume v Of his history the
statements to which his father referred.
concluding with this paragraph at the
end of Chapter 20, "The Declaration was
not signed on the day on which it was
agreed to, but duly authenticated by the
President and Secretary and published TO
the world. The nation, when IL made
the choice Of its great anniversary, selec.
ted not the day of the resolution of indie
pendence, but that of the declaration of
the principles on which it opened its new
career
Mr.. Bancroft was surprised to learn
that anyone thought nowadays that the
Declaration Of Independence had been
signed on the Fourth of July.

A, s. II. HOLD UP.
Ed. knfckerbocker Looks Down Train
Robbers Six Shooter,

The east bound Atlantic & Pacific pass
enger train was held up in Arizona, Just
beyond Winslow, night before last. From
Edward knickerbocker, the Wells Fargo
express messenger between Albuquerque
and Los Angeles, it ia learned by the
Citizen that four men boarded the engine
at Canon Diablo station and leveled their
weapons at the engineer and fireman.
One OF the men stayed on the engine
while the others took the fireman off.
They then fired several times in the air.
Mr.. knickerbocker had just made his ex-
change with the station agent, and on
haa"' cut 'Iue lights. The fireman, who
was in the clutches of the robbers, then
came to the door OF the express car and
knocked. knickerbocker asked "Who is
there?" and response came from the
fireman. The agent then opened the
door, when in walked three masked men,
One held revolver at his head and the
others went through the contents of the
company's express, taking what local
traffic in money had been received by the
agent from Los Angeles to that point,
amounting to between 5000 and $500.
Mr.. Knickerbocker states that the first
report relative to robbing the passengers
is incorrect. for the robbers took to the
plains after robbing the express car.
