The infantry have tried them with good
results.
A Pennsylvania inventor has devised

winter went to 49 degrees below zero.
The difference between the so-called
chemical" focus and the visual focus
of telescope may be little or it may
be half an inch. In either case the
photographed image will be decidedly
out of focus if allowance of this differ
ence be not carefully made.
The rate of progression of a storm is
often fifty miles an hour, and a series
has often been traced in a direct line
from north to south a distance of 400
miles. The average altitude of thunder
storms has been found to be not over
500 feet above the surface of the earth.
Experiments made at the Royal
Danish Academy have demonstrated
approximately the height of the
aurora borealis. NJ. Adam Paulsen,
at Godhoab, by means of two the
oddities situated four miles apart,
found that different auroral displays
varied from one to four miles in height
Experiments near Cape Farewell
showed the height of different auroras
to vary from one to ten miles. At
Spitzenberg the range of height was
from one-third to eighteen miles. In
some of the earlier experiments in this
direction the observers concluded that
the height of auroras varied from 80
to 800 miles,

GIANTS OF THOSE DAYS.
Some of the Big Men of Old Exceeded
Twenty Feet in Height.

A giant exhibited in Europe (par-
ticularly in Rouen, where he was be-
fore the public every day for fourteen
months) in the early part of the eigh-
teenth century, lacked but an inch and
6ve-eighths of being eighteen feet high.
Gorapius, the surgeon, made a
scientific examination of a Swedish
girl, aged 9years, who was over ten
feet high. She died less than year
later, before attaining anything like
full growth.
Galabra, the giant. who Pliny men
tions as having been drought out of
Arabia" during the reign of Claudius,
was ten feet high, of fine proportions,
and weighed upward of 400 pounds.
Funnum, court giant of Eugene II,
was eleven and one-half feet in height
after death, according to the under
takers measurement, says the Philade-
lphia Press.
The Chevalier Scrogg, in his narra-
tive of his journey to Teneriffe, says
that in one of the burial caverns on
the Peak he found the head of a human
being, supposed to have been a
Gunich, as large as a bushel, the jaws
contained exactly sixty teeth, thirty
above and the same number below.
The giant Ferregus, mentioned in
more or less reliably histories as hav-
ing been slain by Orlando, nephew OF
Charlemagne, was twenty-eight feet in
height. While in the army he was
forced to walk, there being no horse
strong enough to bear him.
The bones of giant discovered in
an excavation near Rouen, in the year
1850, were OF extraordinary proper
tions' The shin bone was as long as
the whole leg of an average man, and
the skull was made to hold bushel OF
wheat without spilling grain. One
of the jaw teeth weighed eleven-six-
teenths of an ounce.
Kintolochus Rex was fifteen and one
half feet in height, five feet through
the chest from the breastbone to the
spine, and full ten feet across the
shoulders.
Professor Silliman has said that he
was confident that "there were giants
in those days." and that the human
race is rapidly degenerating.

She Must Have Two Ancestors.

Among the women in and about
Boston who know who their great
grandfathers are, is one whose ances-
tors played prominent but widely diff
ferent parts in the battle of Concord.
One was appointed to lead the yeo-
men. the other was one of the yeomen
to be led.
When the cry of battle sounded the
leader, the man to whom the troops
looked for direction, deserted them.
At the last moment his fear overcame
him and he fed.
The other ancestor seeing that the
troops were without a commander
rushed from out the ranks and shout
ing: "For Gods sake, fire!" made him
self the leader the men needed.
From the time this woman was 8
little girl in short dresses she had re-
peatedly heard this story, and had
been proud of the brave man and oh
| so ashamed of the coward. AS she
grew into womanhood she found il
her nature parts of both ancestors.
"Let me tell you how l often feel,
she would say. For instance, when
go to party am happy in anticipa

door and catch glimpse of the guest:
within and the hostess standing stiff
and prim to receive me.
There comes over me a terrible

the point of obeying this impulse wher

The Premier Had Dined.

A young shorthand writer was once
told to report a speech by Sir John
Macdonald. Now, it happened that
the Canadian premier had come to the
house from a dinner party and his
speech in matter and form was OF a
decidedly postprandial character. The
youthful reporter, however, could not
believe it possible that Sir John should
want editing and took down every
word. His editor, on seeing the copy,
told him it would not do, and, as it
was not wanted for the next morning,
he was advised to go and see Sir John
and get him to correct it. The re-
porter, on being shown in, found Sir
John, as usual, exceedingly affable.
Having explained the object of his
visit, the reporter was desired to read
his notes aloud. This he did, while Sir
John lay on a sofa listening with a
face of extreme solemnity to his own
incoherencies and correcting them as
occasion required. When the notes
were finished the premier arose, laid
his hand on the young mans shoulder,
and began in the most fatherly of tones
Il see exactly what has happened.
Now, my dear young friend, l am an
old man and you are young one and
you will, therefore, not mind if give
you piece of advice as to the practice
of your profession. My advice is this

are sober.

The Oysters in His Cellar.

Years ago family lived on farm
in little country town where there
was nc railroad and the nearest city
was number of miles distant. The
father was very fond of oysters and
how do you suppose he managed to
have some always cat hand"P He
would drive to the nearest city, buy a
bushel of "real live" ones and bring
them back home with him. But that
was not all. They were then carefully
placed in rows along the cellar floor,
where it was rather dark and cool and
and little damp.
The most interesting part, however,
was to keep them alive. Every little
while some one would go "down-cellar
and feed them by sprinkling them
with meal and water. One of the little
girls in the family who is now grown
up says she can remember how the
oysters closed their shells with snap
after they were fed, but perhaps that
was only in her Imagination. Any
way, if they happened to be forgotten
for time they would be found pa
tiently waiting with their shells open
ready to receive their next meal

BABY AND THE BOTTLE.
A Story Suggested by Combination on
the Rail.

A few days ago baby left town by
train. To be sure, there were others
the mother and father, and the baby's
nurse. But these didn't count, for il
was first baby. The dining-car at
tachment to the baby's train was
nursingbottle.
posed themselves comfortably in the
car, and it was just drawing out of the
station, when the nurse discovered
that the baby's nursing-bottle was
missing. Search was made for it every
whereSon the floor, in the bags, even
in the pockets of the unhappy father;
there was the nice little pail of cold
milk intended to fill the bottle, there
was the package of baby food, there
was everything but the bottle.
/ A days journey without nursing
bottle!
"And she's too little to drink a
thing" walled the young mother.
Under such unusual circumstances of
storm and stress as this, there was but
one thing to do-to call the porter.
And they did it.
The porter reflected. They might
telegraph on to the next station, he
finally suggested: Telegraph to the
station master to have man meet the
train with baby's nursingbottle."
"Oh, yes!" gasped the mother with
an air of relief.
"Just the thing" said the father
gladly, and followed the grinning por-
ter down the car.
See here" said the young man,
slipping bill into the black hand,
you'd better tend to the matter and
telegraph on ahead to half dozen
stations or so, and have bottles sent
down. The first might miss, you
know, and we must be sure and have
| q bottle.
ayes, SIR" said the porter. 81 under
stand" And evidently he did. Fol-
when the first station he had tele-
graphed to was reached in came a
youth with a nursing bottle. 1t was
| put to work at once, and quite brood
ed over the car. At the next station
here came in youth with nursing
bottle. This was gladly received as
understudy for the first in case of dis
aster. When the train stopped again
another nursing-bottle appeared in the
doorway. Then the passengers began
to smile, and the next station begar
to be anticipated by them.
Sure enough, at the next station the
most prominent person on the plat
form was man with one of those un
mistakable bottles. Then the people
laughed, and the only unconcernet
person in the car was the bald-headeo
one for whom all this was going on.
At the next station another maj
and another bottle. Then the young
mother began to get hysterical
"We're perfect sights!" she was hear'
to whisper. excitedly. "We're not an
orphan asylum nor baby farm"
| Then the young father was seen t.
go hastily out and interview the porte
once more. This time the medium o
exchange was silver. The porter hat
evidently promised to be of a secon'
service and possibly greater one.-
