Red Rain Fell.

In March, 1918, the people of Gerace, in
Calabria, saw terrific cloud advancing
from the sea which gradually changed
from pale hue TO n fiery red, entirely
shutting off the light of the sun. Soon
after the town was enveloped in darkness
and the inhabitants rushed TO the cathe-
dral, supposing that the end of the world
was at hand.
Meanwhile the fiery red cloud covered
the whole heavens and amid terrific peals
of thunder, accompanied by vivid flashes
of forked lightning, red rain fell in large
drops. which were imagined by the excited
populace to be drops Of blood or IRE. The
strange shower continued to fail until
evening, when the clouds dispersed.
Analyses made of the fluid showed that
its coloring matter was light dust OF q
marked earthly taste. Probably this dust
was elected by an active volcano, carried
for great distance by wind and precipi-
tated with the raiu.-Wssh!ngto Star.

How Designing Started.

Every person connected with the cloth
trade thought that after the new material,
tweed, had had run" for time it would
go out of use, but after the taste was well
satiated with black and white checks in
four or five different sizes, trifling but
lucky circumstance took place which had
a most important bearing upon the trade
as it stimulated the invention or design
ing" of new patterns, an art at that time
unknown. 1t happened that one of the
manufacturers had made a quantity of
these checks, but the whites were so inn
pure and dirty looking, from being mixed
with gray hairs, that they would not sell;
and the happy idea struck some one that If
the pieces were dipped in brown dye it
would cover the gray hairs and convert
the checks into brown and black
This was managed so successfully that
upon these new styles" being sent TO
London they not only sold rapidly, but
large orders flowed in for more IN all the
different sizes of checks. To this lucky
circumstance l entirely attribute the
ginning of that important branch. design
ing" new patterns, which has proved the
very backbone and salvation of the tweed
trade. For it does not require me at this
period 70 tell the veriest tyro in the trade
that without a constant succession of new
patterns the business would even now &c
down in few years.-Border Advertiser.

Electric Heating Mats.

Mark Dewey has devised an apparatus
to render electric heating effective and eco
nomical in houses or cars or public build
ings. Floor mats similar to those in gen.
eral use can be employed for the heater,
the only essential requirement being that
the mats be provided with heat radiating
conductors and connected to suitable sup
ply conductors. These mats are perfectly
safe and effective and require but low
tension current. They can be arranged so
that = is impossible to touch the conductor
of the mat accidentally, but even if the
conductor in the mat is not protected spe-
cially, IL is utterly impossible to receive q
shock by contact in any way with the mat
The large exposed radiating surface
area of the mat heater will enable it to de-
velop and radiate a great amount of heat
without becoming very hot; that is, not
hot enough to burn wood, leather or rub
Der in contact with ii, and thus the disad-
vantages due to the fact that the heat is
concentrated in particular locality, as in
the old system, is done away with.
These mat heaters are especially adapted
for heating rooms and halls in houses.
They may be made entirely of nickel or
bronze and formed into a grating of orna-
mental design, which can rest upon the
thing or marble and have its upper surface
level with the foor.-Pittsbur Dispatch.

disappeared from view the tremendous

A Weak Illustration.

A stanch old Baptist wanted to illustrate
the three sects, Methodists, Episcopalians
and Hardshell Baptists. So he took a
chestnut into the pulpit one day. and hold
ing it up 10 the congregation, began:
"My friends, you see this chestnut; well,
this outer burr here is like the Methodists,
soft and spongy, with no strength into it.
See, even mash it with my fingers" and
suiting the action 70 the word. be sloughed
it off and disclosed the inner nut. and said:
"This inner nut is like the Episcopalians;
smooth and dry and velvety, with no sub
stance in it."
But the kurpul, the kurnul, my Chris
tian friends, is like our good old primitive,
Hardshell Baptist faithful of fatness
and sweetness"
He then proceeded TO give his hearers an
ocular demonstration Of his illustration
by crunching the chestnut between bis
teeth, and at the same time blowing the
rnoldy meat all over the pulpit and ex-
claiming, to the sstoHishment Of every
body:

in a hole stumbled, giving the burglar

THE CHILD'S FACE.

There's nothing more pure in heaven.
And nothing on earth more mild,
More full of The light that is all divine,
Than the smile of little child.
So sweet it is, so simple,
And yet so angel wise,
With the peace of God on the dear, SMOOTH
brow,
And the lore of Christ in the eyes.
The sinless lips, half parted,
With breath as sweet as the air,
And the light that seems so glad to shine
In the gold of the sunny hair.
Oh, little one. smile and bless me!
For somehow know not why
/ feel In my soul, when children smile,
That angels are passing by.
1 feel that the gates Of heaven
Are nearer than knew,
That the light and the hope of that sveetag
world.
Like the dawn, are breaking through.
