Science Comes to Religions Aid.

Who shall say that there is antag-

1t is q well-known rule of the Jewish
religion that on the sabbath day no
fire shall be kindled. We have the au-
thority OF the Jewish Chronicle for
saying that observant Jews obey this
injunction very strictly, and scrupu-
lousy abstain from any act which,
directly or indirectly, can cause the
production OF fire. But some member
Of the Jewish community has started

ing the rules Of his religion by switch.

of this subtle question recourse has

fame in the old religions was always
Intimately connected with combus-

electric lamp does not come within

says Mr., Crookes, fare totally dis

a standard OF length. Already light

the distance ray OF light will travel
in the space OF oneyear, being the unit
employed in reckoning the distance of

Saving Life BY Electricity

The value Of the microphone in the

heard by the unaided human ear was
recently put to good use in saving a
life in St. Petersburg. 1t appears
q lady who had been suffering from
violent nervous attack sank into o
state of syncope, and after time
ceased, az it seemed to breathe. The
doctor who was attending her certi-
fed that death had resulted from,
paralysis OF the heart.
For some reason which is not ex-
planned another medical man saw
the body, and, having been informed
that the lady had suffered from at
tacks OF hysteria and catalepsy,
thought it worth while to make
thorough examination. After trying
various other means he applied the
microphone to the region OF the heart,
was enabled by this instrument to
hear faint beating which proved that
life was not extinct. Everything was
done to recuscitats the patient, who

The ZodIacal Light.

The same shadowy light may be wit
messed shortly before susrise in the
eastern sky, This interesting phe-
nomena is known as the Zodiacal
Light. In northern ATTITUDES it is
best seen in the evenings OF February,
March and April, and in the mornings
OF September and October.
It is OF conical or lenticular form,
with it's base towards the sun and it's
axis nearly in the plane OF the ecliptic.
It's breadth at the base varies from 80
to 800. The distance it extends from
the sun varies from 500 to 9Oo, or
even more. Its edges are ill-defined.
It's light resembles that of the Milky
Way, or more nearly that of the tail
OF comet. 1t is brightest in the part
nearest the sun, and fades by insensi-
BILE gradations rs it ascends.
These are the features OF the Zodiac
al Light as seen in our latitude, but it
is seen in it's most brilliant form at
high elevations in the tropics, some
times extending from east to west
across the sky and forming q COM
plete ring, while at q point opposite
the sun a patch few degrees in diam
eter, slightly more luminous, is called
the Gegenschein or counter glow.
Humboldt describes the phenomenon,
as he witnessed it among the Andes,
as exquisitely delicate and beautiful,
it's light being reflected in the opposite'
quarter of the heavens. He notices,
its variability, the light often flicker
ing or coruscating, and again shining
with unusual intensity for months in
succession.
The cause of the phenomenon is not
certainly known, but the generally ac-
copied theory attributes it to sum
light reflected by myriads of small
metoric bodies revolving around the
sun, forming thin, fiat sheet like one
OF Saturn's rings, and extending far
pey ond the orbit OF the earth.
Observers who desire to behold this
ethernal appendage of the sun must
be far away from the electric light, gas
and smoke of cities and towns, and in
the pure atmosphere of some rural re-
treat command view OF the western
horizon, including the sunset point.
Their quest will be richly rewarded
when, soon after sunset, they behold
a column OF soft, silvery light-extend-
ing from each side Of the sunset point,
and taking the form of cone-rise OBJ
liquely in the heavens to point near
the Pleiades.
