the holders of policies in the order of the
Iron Hall, has been thrown by the nom
appearance of f. j. Somerpy. Supreme

has used something like three-fourths of a

The first general circular issued by the
Iron Hall early in the eighties will be re-
called by those who saw it when it il men,
toned that it had this heading: "You don't
have to die to beat this game" The orders
literature has been decorated from that day
to this with lurid quotations from every
source available for emphasis.

Damages for Failing Over n Pine.

Henry Klingensmith yesterday entered
suit against James Neeson for S. 600 DAM
ages. Neeson is proprietor of the premises
at No. 2s22 Penn avenue. On December 49,
1891, Klingensmith, according to his allega-
tions, was walking along the sidewalk. As
he passed Nelson's place he stumbled over
an iron pipe, protecting the valve OF the
water pipe, which projected above the side
walk about 81 inches. He fell upon his left
hand and burst the palm open, severely in
juring himself. Neeson, he alleges, for not
keeping his sidewalk in safe condition, is
liable to him III the sum of 5000.

improvements Ruined Their Health.

Lewis Rosenthal yesterday entered suit
against Annie Pfaff for s5 600 damages. The
plaintiff states that in 1890 he rented from
the defendant four rooms on the second
floor of the premises at No. l6 Vine street,
Pittsburg. The defendant, while the plain
tiff occupied the place, constructed another
building in the back yard. The roof was
extended to the one over kosenthal and q
hole cnt through the ceiling of his bedroom.
His wife was sick in bed and their infant son
was also made i'll by the cold and exposure.
The falling plaster also ruined the furni-
ture, etc., in the room. The child has never
recovered,

with which the earth is inclosed. To q
body moving with the appalling velocity Of
Q meteor plunge into the atmosphere is
usually fatal Even though the upper lay
ers of air are excessively attenusted, yet
they suddenly check the velocity almost as
q rifle bullet would be checked when fired
into the water. The friction causes the
meteor to gradually become red hot, then
white hot until it is finally driven off into
vapor with brilliant light, while we on
earth, many scores of miles below, exclaim,
'.Look-look quickly. See that beautiful
shooting starp'
Small as millions of these missiles prob
able are, their velocity is so prodigious that
they would render the earth upinhabitable
were they permitted to rain down unim-
peded on its surface. We must, therefore,
among the other good qualities of our atmos-
phere, not forget that it constitutes kindly
screen which shields US from a tempest of
projectiles the velocity of which no artillery
could equal. 1t is, in fact, the very fury Of
these missiles which is the cause of their
utter destruction Their haste to strike US
is so great that friction dissolves them into
harmless vapor.
The Wide Contrast.
Wide, indeed, is the contrast between the
splendor of the MONDAY sun and the feeble
LWiuhlluS VI ofCu buC Uiikuscot vi Vic stai
This contrast, so forcible to our ordinary
observation, can be submitted to the test of
of actual measurement Let US take the
most brilliant star-Sirius. In the bright
daylight it cannot even be seen, much less
can its light be measured. But We can take
the full moon as an intermediate step be-
tween the glory of the sun and the feeble
twinkle of Sirius, and by these comparisons
we find that the sun is about 20, 0O0, 900, 900
times as great as the light from Sirius.
Our earth is, however, not properly
placed for an impartial comparison between
the splendor of the two bodies To make
such a comparison the earth should be mid
way between the two so that we coIld look
at Sirius on one side and the sun on the
other, under precisely similar circumstances.
Into such position our earth never has
and never will come, and we must have re-
course to other means That which most
naturally suggests itself is the matter of
distance, and the star being so much further
from us than the sun, the tables are turned
against the latter and we find that Sirius
sheds actually 4S times as much light as
the sun does.

BANK DEFAULTERs IN JAIL.
They Think They Will Not BE Prosecuted
but They Are Mistaken.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. >1.-Gale and
Turner, the detaulting bank employees, reach
ed this city late last night from Mexico in
charge of Chief of Police Clark, and were
placed b.hind the bars. Turner says he
was defauIter to the amount of $500 and
Gale to the extent of 81, 800, when Gale pro-
posed to Linn to decamp.
Gale, he says, took the money, held on to
it, and only paid him small amounts as he
needed, and he does not know how much of
the banks funds Gale took with him when
he left. They both seem to think they will
not be prosecuted, but the attorney for the
guarantee company says they will be to the
extent of the law.

At the time we see the meteor it is usu-
ally moving with enormous velocity, SO
that it often traverses distance of more
than 20 miles in second of time. Such q
velocity is almost impossible near the
earth's surface; the resistance of the earth
would prevent 1t. Aloft, in the emptiness
of space, there is no air to resist the meteor.
It may have been moving round and round
the sun for thousands, perhaps for millions,
of years without let or hindrance; but the
supreme moment arrives, and the meteor
perishes in a streak of splendor. In the
course of Its wanderings the body comes
near the earth, and within few hundred
miles of its surface of course begins to en-
counter the upper surface of the atmosphere

TEACHERS COLUMN.
Manner of Teaching.

A teacher can secure the attention of his pupils by lis manner of teaching. He should be in earnest in his work. A spirit of earnestness on the part of the teacher will kindle flame of in- terest in the heart of the pupil, and in- terest is the mother of attention. A teacher who shows no interest in con- municating knowledge, can expect none on the part of his pupils in acquiring knowledge. He should have clear view of his subject. Clearness of con- ception leads to clearness of presenta- tion. and clearness of expression IS a condition of fattention. 4 hesitatlng and obscure statement wearIes the mind and dissipates the attention. It needs the clear sunlight of truth from the teachers mind to lllumine and attract the mind of the pupil. 4 teachers po- sition before his class should be stand Ing one. In this position teacher nat urally manifests more animation and interest in the subject. A teacher should be interested in his instruction. Interest begets interest. The anima- tion of the teacher casts glow of in- terest around subject that makes it attractive to the pupil and thus secures his attention. TEACHER.
