What is the speed OF electricity

Electricity, where unretarded by atmos-
pheric influences, travels at the rate of
2SS, 900 miles second. Along wire it is,
of course, vastly slower; q perceptible
period of time is occupied by the electric
current in sending kilograms over long
distances.

What will preserve forest leaves in their
natural color? MILLARD.
Varnish. Get white varnish and apply it
in thin coat over each leaf; then let the
leaf dry thoroughly. When dry, the leaves
should be kept in place where the sun
will not shine upon them and where as
little air as possible will reach them; under
these circumstances they will retain much
of their color for years.

In what European city can one see the
sun ut midnight during the summer, and
why Is it SO? r. W. H.
In Hammerfest in Norway, the most
northerly town of Europe. 1t is a town Of
about 5000 inhabitants, the principal busi-
ness of which has to do with the fisheries.
In the summer, though the earth is more
distant from the sun than in winter, its axis
points almost directly at the sun, so that
the north polar regions are directly under
its rays, and for two months are not cut off
from it by the horizon.

Show how it was impossible for the dark
ness that occurred at the time of Christ's
crucifixion to have been due to an eclipse Of
the, sun. HAMPTON
We can't. Josephus, who cared nothing
about Christ, and so cannot be accused of
trying to belittle the crucifx1on, makes
note of general eclipse OF the sun in the
ear and at the time of the crucifxion. All
commentators. however, do not accept
Josephus' record, and say that as the Pass
over was timed by the full moon, Josephus'
eclipse could not have occurred on the day
of the cruci6xion. Those who, accept
Josephus' testimony say that the Hebrew
calendar was so far wrong that though the
Passover shonld have been at the time Of
the full moon, it actually came at the time
of the new moon. Some commentators
ascribe the darkness to the exhalations
often noticed as preceding all earthquake.
The question is not settled yet.

A Bit of Color.

A flag is within the compass of the
poorest, and with little taste and skill
gives scope to the desire for display Of
the richest. 1t is unquestionable that
the most impressive forms Of decoration
and display are of this sort--uniform in
character, yet infinitely varied in appli-
cation. A city flaming in every part
with the bright emblem Of national
power Ii spectacle at once significant
and impressive. This would naturally
lead to the more ornate and striking
decoration Of the grounds and resi-
dences of the more wealthy. Such dis
plays should not be reserved for politi-
cal campaigns, hut should be more uni
versal and imposing on this day than
any other. The Fourth of July should
be one wave Of rosy light from the At
lantic TO the Pscifc.-Judge Teurgee in

This month recalls to mind Mark An
tony, who pronounced over the dead
body of julius Cesar that artful eulo-
GUM which Shakespeare initiated and
improved, and which schoolboys love to
declaim-'g come to bury Caesar, not to
praise him." But he did praise him
most effectively, and afterward, when
the friends Of Caesar were in power, fixed
upon him a perpetual compliment by
giving his name 10 one of the months.
The Romans had been in the habit Of
calling July the Fifth month, az it was
the fifth Of their year 1t was Mark An
tony who proposed to the rulers Of the
Roman empire 10 change the name TO
Julius, in honor of the conquerer Of Gaul,
Germany and Britain, who was born on
the twelfth Of Quintilis, or Fifth month
AT that period the Romans regarded Ju-
Illus Caesar very much as the French re
garded Bonaparte when Louis Philippe
brought home his remains from st. He
lena The proposal was accepted, and
the new name prevailed all over the
Roman empire.
But not Immediately. For centuries
the AngloISaxons continued to call July
the Meadow month, and Charlemagne
called it the Hay month. The French
revolution named part Of it Harvest
month and the rest Heat month, but at
last Mark Antony's motion, made nine
teen centuries ago, has passed unani-
mously. He was not very great nor a
very good man. but he happened, at one
Of the turning points in the history of
the world, 70 be there.
During this month two republics cele-
brate the day of their birth-the United
States ON the fourth, and France ON the
fourteenth, while the Dominion of Can
ada, which is not a republic, celebrates
the first Of the month as its birthday as
great confederated dependency of
Great Britain. 1t is probable that other
republics will come into being in the

TWAS A GAME FOR TWO.
A Funny Practical Joke of tho Reversi
BILE Order.

A Funny Practical Joke of tho Reversi-
BILE Order.
There is undoubtedly moro practical
joking ON the Fourth of July than on the
LIST of April, and whatever may be the
opinion regarding practical jokes in the
abstract, few there be that having ar
rived at the age of discretion will not
agree that the typical Fourth of July
practical joke is rarely humorous, es
pecially from the victims point of view.
There is young man in Chicago who
may be called Smith, to whom the idea
of "A practical jolle-or some other fellow
is overwhelmingly funny, or rather was
so until late hour last night. There is
reason to believe that he has undergone
a change Of opinion on the subject
A few days before the Fourth the
young man conceived brilliant idea
He bought a mammoth cannon cracker,
over a foot long and several inches in
diameter. Then he carefully removed
the fuse and the charge, tunneling the
gunpowder out and scorching the hole
with n red hot wire until the last vestige
Vi biiO DlihlNb WAS itlllONtus ub Dlk
cannon cracker was then perfectly harm
less.
He started out early yesterday morn
ing with his big, harmless cracker and
a five cent bunch of little ones. He in
serted one Of the little ones in the top
, end of the cannon cracker and dropped
/ into the first saloon, calmly set the big
a q. A
The bartender crouched behind tho
bar, frightened nearly out of his wits.
Sizzi went the fuse and the other Gus
toners glanced at the big cracker and
then scrambled all over each other in
their haste to get out of the way before
the explosion came.
1t came-a puny little pop-and the
big cracker turned hstlessly over on its
side.
The bartender peeped out timidly,
with a sickly grin, and finally recovered
his courage when the joker put the
cracker in his coat pocket. Then every
body took something at the bartender'a
invitation.
Strange to say the young man with
the cannon cracker successfully played
his little joke all day long, from place
TO place, with the usual accompaniment
Of treats by the bartender. But every
lane has an end, and every practical
joker meets another sooner or later.
Some one who saw him play his little
trick went straightway and bought an
other cannon cracker the same size az
Smiths. But he didn't remove the load.
He followed Smith.
The opportunity soon came TO replace
the bogus cracker with the real one. II
was the latter Smith drew from his
pocket and touched a match TO the fuse.
Smith was knocked down in the rush 10
the door To this adventitious circum-
stance he probably owes what remains
TO him Of his physical well being.
The cracker exploded with a terrific
report, shattered 500 worth Of glass, for
which young Mr.. Smith had to pay, and
melted the proprietor TO an assault upon
Smith which made him wish he had gone
off with the cracker.-Chicago Tribune.

Rhode Islnnd's Lessons.
New York World.

New lOiN w OIlu'
The Boston Herald, whose in
fluence was thrown against the
Democrats in the late contest in
Rhode Island, disputes the Repub-
lican claim that the result indicates
" a clean sweep of the New Eng
land States" for that party. The
Herald shows that the Democrats
gained 1878, or 44.S4 per cent, over
their vote at the April election in
1888, while the Republicans gained
6,722, or only 32.40 per cent. And
applying this ratio of gain to the
vote of Connecticut and New
Hampshire our Independent con.
temporary demonstrates that the
Democrats would carry the former
State by a plurality of 9,7G5 and
the latter by plurality of 1898.
This figuring is pleasing but fall
lacious. WENDELL PHILLIPS said
that "defeat is education" The
Democrats have been defeated and
disappointed in Rhode Island. They
should not blink al the lessons OF
that defeat.
The gain in the total Of Rhode
Island was largely due to the eX-
tension of the suffrage to citizens
heretofore disfranchised. The Dem
ocrats hoped, and with apparent
reason, to secure the CRATER portion
of the vote whose Acknowledgement
was due to their persistent efforts.
They had carried the State by q
plurality for three "off years" in
succession. And they had strong
grounds for hoping that by a Wig
orous effort they might carry it in
this Pres dental year. They gained
heavily, but not enough to win.
Among the lesso MS of the failure
these stand prominent:
/. The Democrats cannot with
any show of reason count upon the
electoral vote of Rhode Island.
Whether the heavier Republican
purse or superior Republican man
agement holds the little State to it's
traditions is immaterial. tits there
for this year.
3. The Democrats cannot de-
pend upon the Mugwump vote to
help them, even when the platform
and the purpose of the party are in
entire harmony with the professed
principles of the Independents. In
Rhode Island the Democratic plat
form was hailed with satisfaction
by the Independents. The Presi-
dental delegates were instructed
for their idol. Mr.. CLEVELAND
himself went to Providence and
spoke for his party.
And yet because Senator AID
RICH belongs to the old office-hOld-
ing caste in Rhode Island, or per-
haps because Mr.. WARDwELL con-
fessed that he "blacks his own
boots"-certainly not prime quail
ification for the Governorship, how
ever simply Democratic it may be
or because the personnel of tho
Democratic ticket did not plea Sc
them in some other particular, the
Independents, holding the balance
of power. voted to continue Re-
publican rule and to return a SEN
ator who is certain to vote for six
years against every one of the re-
forms which they profess to favor.
These lessons should not be lost
upon the Democracy. They will
teach reliance upon Democrats for
Democratic victories.
