Every one knows what a Roman candle
is, but few know how this indispensable
adjunct Of Fourth OF July celebration is
made. First of all in the making comes
the pHsteboard cylinder, which is plugged
up one end with clay. After the clay
comes d small charge of powder; then a
STAR is pushed tight down on the pow
der, and charges Of powder and ''stars" al
ternate until the cylinder is filled. Then a
fuse is attached which communicates with
the powder nearest the top of the cylinder,
which, when it is exploded, sends its
''star" sailing upward. A fuse running
through the candle connects the other
charges of powder with the first and ex-
plodes them one at time, each one shoot
ing out the star which is next above it.
The stars are made of chemical mixtures
which vary with the colors which are pro
duced. A red star is sometimes made by
mixing four parts of dry nitrate Of strontia
and fifteen parts of pulverized gunpowder.
Copper filings change the color to green.
Rosin, salt and a small quantity of amber
make it yellow Small particles Of zinc
change it to blue, and another and perhaps
better red can be made by using mixture
of lamp black and inter-

The unusual sound of orchestral instru-
ments filed the First Baptist church Sun
day night, and made the simple gospel
hymns seem more than ever inspiring to
the congregation. The innovation has
been made with such successful results
that it is the purpose of the church TO con
tinue the orchestral accomplishments and
hold regular Sunday evening services of
song The introduction of other instru-
ments than the organ into the church was
not made without a good deal of considera-
tion, although the Sunday school has had
orchestral accompaniment for some time,
the only Sunday school in the city enjoy
ing such music, with the single exception
of that at the First Methodist Episcopal
church.
1t is the only Baptist church in the state
which has church orchestra, and the
directors think that it is, perhaps, the only
one south of Boston, where full orchestra
is one of the features of the service at Tire
mont temple. Catholic and Protestant
Episcopal churches have long made use of
orchestral instruments on special occa-
sions or feast days of the church, and
within the last few years other denomina-
tions are gradually adopting the custom.
At the service Sunday night the orchestra
consisted mainly Of stringed instruments,
but both stringed and wind instruments
will be used at these services.-Baltimor

How are we TO bring down our specula-
tions and researches to the level of popular
comprehension some win probably ask.
Nobody wants you, we reply, to bring
down to popular comprehension that
which cannot possibly be popularity com
pretended but we do want you to have,
and show That you have, an interest in the
general Advancement of knowledge, and
that you regard your speciality, whatever
1t may be, as simply higher development
of forms of knowledge that ARE within the
popular grasp, and as being, IL remotely,
still vitality, connected with the practical
concerns Of life,
If such is not the case, il, on tho CON
trary, you are soaring IN d region In which
practical views have no place and no pos
sible relevancy, then we make bold to say
that your So callcd science is merely a la
horious and prctcntious idleness. 1t is one
thing to wander far afeld in search of that
which may at some time or another, if not
Immediately prove Of value to the human
race. IL Is another and very different one
to wander far afeld for the acknowledged
purpose Of getting not only beyond gen
eral comprehension, but beyond the sphere
Of all possible utility
lie OHhy tuutullon on Wnlch science can
claim the reverence Of mankind is that it
devote itself to human service, and it rests
with the serious students Of science to
mike good this claim, In order that the
relations between science and the age may
be what they ought TO be, the world at
large must be made to feel that science is
in the fullest sense ministry of good to
all, not the private possession and luxury
of a few; that IL is the best expression OF
human intelligence and not the abraca-
dabra Of a school, that it is a guiding light
and not dazzling fog--Popular Science.

The attempt made at Christ church, Bir-
mingham, England, to transmit the church
service by telephone TO London, Manches-
ter and other distant points has been at
tended with very fair success. Some of
the difficulties which have to be overcome
before people can listen in comfort at their
own hresidc to the voice of their favorite
minister may be gathered from the follow
ing description OF the experiment by one
who took part in III;
When the morning service commenced
there was what appeared to be an unseem-
ly ciamor to hear the services.
The opening prayer was interrupted by
cries of "Ilello therep Are you there"
"Put me on to Christ church." "No,
don't want the church" etc, But present.
ly quiet obtained, and by the time the
Psalms were reached we got almost I'M
broken connection, and could follow the
course Of the services. We could hear lit
Tie of the prayers probably from the fact
that the officiating minister was not within
voice reach Of che transmitter. The organ
had faint far away sound, but the sing
ing and the sermon We're distinct success.
