Duration OF Lightning.

Authorities differ as to the time of
duration OF the lightning flash; but all
agree that it is less than the 10, OOOth
part OF a second. The experiment
which establishes this fact is due to
the late Sir Charles Wheatstone. A
disk. divided into alternate sections
OF black and white, is caused to rotate
very rapidly on its axis, and by day
light it appears Of a uniform grey. If
lightning, occurring in the dark, rem
der the separate sections visible, it is
plain that the duration of the light
must be less than the time of revolu-
ton through the breadth of one Sec
tor.
The experiment was tried with a
disk of sixty sectors and making $50
revolutions in a second, so that the
time of turning through the space of
one sector is the 10, 8OOth part of a
second. When the disk, rotating with
this velocity, is rendered visible by
lightning, black and white sectors
are seen with grey ones intervening.
This shows that the flash is not alb
solutely Instantaneous, for in this case
the sectors would be seen sharply de-
fined without any alienation OF grey.

SUNDAY IN COnneCtlCut IN 1883.
The following anecdote. which APP
peared in the Salem, Massachusetts,
Mercury of August -, 1883, shows
both what kind of stories was pleas
ing to our ancestors, and how our an
cestors thought story should be
told.
A gentleman in the State OF Connect
icut regularly attended worship on
the Lords day with all his family; on
the Sunday evening he always cate
chised his children and servants on
the principles of religion, and what
they heard the minister deliver from
the pulpit. ... ~
He had q negro man who never
could remember q note of the sermon,
though otherwise smart At last his
master peremptorily told him he
would on Monday morning tie him up
and fog him.
Next Sunday evening, when inrerro-
gated, he had forgotten all. On Mon
day morning his master executes his
threat so far as to tie him up.
The fellow then cried out, 20 mas
ter, spare me, for I remember some
thing the minister said"
"What is lt?" said the master.
The fellow replied, "This much may
suffice at this time"
The master was so pleased with his
wit that he forgave him.

The majority of well-read phys

words, instead of being in the com

eating them away as caterpillars do

little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores Of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, 1oosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
