FATHER IGNATIUs has introduced new core
mony at Llanthony abbey. He caused a Bible
to be borne to the center of the church. where
every worshiper was given a chance to kiss the
book. Incense and wax tapers naturally were
features OF the service.
A PHOTOGRAPHER IN the Tyrol made mega
tive of ten tourists against background Of
pine woods. When he developed the plate
faithful presentment of large bear in the act
OF making for tho denser timber appeared in
the edge of the forest Neither the man with
the camera nor any Of those in the group had
known that the brute was near.
DETECTIVE BAILEY of Chicago went to the
Palmer house to arrest man registered there
as D. @. Moore. whom he had reason to think
was E. g. Dumas. wanted IN Boston for forgery.
The young man took the arrest very coolly, as
sorting that his name was not Dumas but Moore,
ana tnat IL the detective would 20 to his room
he would show him papers to prove 1t. The de-
tective was obliging and upon reaching the
room the young man showed him papers lying
in the bottom of large sample trunk Bailey
stopped over to pick them up when his prisoner
seized him by the GELS, dumped him into the
trunk, Slammed the lid, locked the door OF the
room and made his escape. 1t was fifteen
minutes before the detective was released aud
he is now hunting for his man with small
chance of finding him.
THE EXPLANATION of the blue Of the "vaulted
canopy above u.s. is not to be sought in the
fact that the air, says the st. Louis Republic,
or It's constituent particles, reflect the readily
reprangib!e rays of short-waved ray through.
The short waves of light-the blue color-are
much more strongly reflected than the long
waved red ones. Lord Raleigh has proved the
blue reflected in the light from the sky to be
four-tifths time stronger than the yellow color
aud six-sevenths times stronger than the red.
The violet is six-eighths times stronger
t an the yellow, or about nine-tsnths
times more intense than the long waves of red
light Tbasa relatiOna If int tan ell
fore, cause the reflected light to appear to be
mostly blue. The blue of the sky is also con-
nected with the phenomenon known as the
polarization of light, that color in abe colored
waves always being polarized In the same di-
reetion, which is quite independent of the
nature OF the turbid particles of the atmosphere.
AS long as present conditions exist the sky will
be of blue colors of varying intensity.
A YOUNG French chemist, NJ. Henri Courtonne,
is credited by the Paris Figaro with a new dis
cOvery Sound being transmssible by tele-
phone, NJ Courtonne argued by rigorous anal
oEy that light might be transmitted, too AS
the telephone consists of a transmitter a wire
and receiver, there was reason to believe that
t csc three organs might be adapted for trans
hitting light vibrations, and for this purp Sc
the transmitter and receiver should be prepared
chemically fer receiving and giving out light
instead Of 80 nd vibrations, This was done
by substituting sensitized Photographic
plates for the ordinary telephone
plate One Of the plates was placed in front Of
1 IN aperture, through WHICH an image
and this image has been forwarded by wire and
has been seen at the other end The first appa-
ratus was very imperfect, and M. Oourtonne,
| having heard that Mr.. Edison was on the track
of q similar discovery. resolved to publish his
experiments, a description OF which he how
ever, sent In sealed letter to the academy in
1889. This letter is Only to be opened at the
sender's request. The p CARO- 50 ys that ''the

A WRITER in the Scientific american, after
reading how tornado was DETECTED from
its path several times by trees and other Oh
structions, says: Now since string of fence

Bile, within certain limits, of guiding and de-

possible that on our prairieS wind breaks
might be so planted of some tall trees on either
side of the building as to guide these great
forces around the homes or at lsast to break
tons. Or might not series pot Of
tall posts be similarly placed, or Other
tall objects erected for the same
purpose! These two storms have certainly
shown strong attraction for tall Directs NAV
