QUESTIONING he FORK.
Something Concerning tho Origin of This

Very Useful Article.
One of those heterodox fellows who may be
found to question everything, asks upon what
sound principle is the law founded that for
bids the putting of the knife into the mouth
In eating. Why should plate Of steel, he
asks, be interdicted from an office that the
same steel, bifurcated, tIifurcated or quadru-
f;ircatod, may properly performi There is no
objection TO be made on the score of cutting
ones mouth, for In all ages Of the past, when
everybody ate with the knife, nobody ever
cut his mouth. This hereto asserts that
certain consistency of food can be 'hoisted,"
as u western man would say, much more
readily by knife than by fork. OF course
you can get the bulk of q mashed potato or
turnip by dexterousIy fishing with a fork,
but you can do IL much heater and In better
time with q knife, he continues; and then
the knifo will secure all the gravy, which Is
mostly sifted out by the operation of the
fork, and one thus loses the richest part of
tho meal.
IL Is q matter of history that knives played
an important part in domestic life long before
forks wero invented, and that when first the
latter implements appeared 1t was considered
mark of eifoIninacy or ultra refinement to
use them. To such degree was this prsiu-
dice against them INDUCED in France that in
the Sixteenth century the use of forks was
considered sinful in monasteries, and the
monks split up into two parties on the
question.
Forks originally came into use to save the
fingers from soiling, and Italy was the first
place where they wore used. Ben Jonson
writes OF 1.-THE laudable usa of forks brought
into custom hare as they are In Italy to the
sparing S napkins" Some time later a
writer praises the king of Hungary for eat
ing without a fork without soiling his clothes.
An old writer explains why the Italian used
the fork by saying that no could not endure
to have his dish touched with his fingers, see-
ing that ali mons fingers arc not clean alike. "
But the fork was originally and up TO very
modern times used only to hold meat and
other pieces of food while the knife was cut.
ting them The putting of it into the mouth
instead OF the Enife was only an afterthought,
duo probably ID the unclaan appearances Of
the knife blade aftor it had been used to
shovel into the tnouGh gravies, egg yolks, aciGs,
etc. For this reason silver forks were made:
they are cleanof than iron and steel forks

The Supply of Carbon.

When tho earth was constructed from tho
carbonic acid Of chaos, its two constituents
were separated and stored away for the use
Of man. The carbon was imprisoned In the
earth, and the oxygen was liberated In the
atmosphere. The union Of these two ele-
ments produces force. Because the existence
Of civilization upon the earth depends upon
the supply Of available carbon, and because
that supply Is limited and must fail in q fu-
ture time, not difficult TO foresee, It Is the
duty Of this and succeeding generations TO
hulband the resources Of coal deposits against
. day Of famine. Tho chemist has ascer-
tanned that pound of good coal perfectly
consumed can produce heat enough to con-
vurt about fourteen pounds Of water into
stsam, and that a cubic inch Of water con-
verted into steam, by whatever means, will
LIT a ton of s, 240 pounds one foot high. AID

The Great Gibraltar.

Gibraltar Is interesting on account Of the
many historic associations connected with
former days, the days when Christian and
Moore coltended for mastery in the south of
Europe and waged an unrelenting contest,
which lasted for hundreds of years, even icnS
after the tme when Charles Martel, or
Charles THE Hammer" before the gates of
Tours, rolled back the tids OF Saracenic in
vasion. Not far eway is Tarifa, the bill
above the town crowned with a Moorish
castle, said to be the same occupied by Tarifa,
the great Moorish chieftain, whose Ievres Of
toll upon the shipping which passed in and
out Of the strait gave our language the word
tariff"
Places, like men, sometimes have greatness
thrust upon them, but 1t IS impossible to
agree with the author that this is tho case
with regard to Gibraltar, for the huge noun
tain Of solid rock which rises from the sea on
the southwest extremity Of Spain is proni-
nent for its remarkable geological character,
and from the most ancient times was q land
mark, one Of the Pillars OF Hercules. Europe
Is here only nine miles from Africa, O dis
lance readily covered by the heavy guns now
mounted IN the fortress, and SO England, If
she chose, could bar the commerce Of half the
world
Through DE strait, beneath the guns Of
the fort, a bsavy current forever runs to the
east. the water Of the Atlantic swiftly flow
ing into the inland sea and apparently mot
returning, phenomenon which has caused,
up TO the last few years, no little establishment
among scientists, who accounted for 1t by the
immense evaporation in the east of the Med
iterranean- But deep sea Investigations have
demonstrated that although the surface cur
rent through the strait always flows to tho
east, dssp down beneath the surface there is
q counter current of cold water returning to
the Atlantic. Above the strait stands the
mountain, the Lion Couchant, with head 1,4OO
feet IN the or, facing the Spanish peninsula,
for such is the appearance presented by the
rock when the traveller comes In from the

A Wild Engine.

One Of the most unique and fortunate ao-
cideuts ever recorded happened at the Clevs-
land, Lorraine and Wheeling railroad, Just
ovor the river. The yard engine was left on
the track with steam UP, while the crew went
TO dinner. In some unknown way, 1t Is SUD
posed by the tampering Of small boys, the
trottle was opened just as passenger train
passed and the switch was thrown open Tho
engine quickly acquired momentum until it
was dashing ct speed of sixty miles an hour
over the crooked tracks, for the most part
built on high trestles Over the river it
whizzed past the astonished people along the
line clear to Bellaire, FIVE miles from the
starting point, where it crashed into long
