Tithes and the Price of Grain.


The difference between the method of
paying the clergy of the Church of Eng
land, who receive the tithe as their iv-
ing, and the clergy of the Church of
Scotland, who enjoy what are known in
the north as TENDS, will be very appar-
ent in this year. On both sides of the
Tweed grain prices are higher for the
year, but in England the clergy will re-
ceive little immediate benefit from the
rise, because by the seven years average
it is spread over so long time that the
most that can be hoped for from the
good prices of 1891 is to stop the fall
which has been going on every year
without a break since 1878, longer
period of successive annual declines in
the value of the tithe than has ever be-
fore occurred.
But in Scotland the tend is calculated
on the grain prices Of each year, so that
the parish ministers who have endured
the discomforts which low prices brought
with them when grain was cheap will
now have directly the advantages of
higher prices when grain has risen. In
England both the rise and the fall are
retarded by the seven years average.
In Scotland the full effects of either the
one or the other are directly experienced
in every year.-London Graphic.

Fatigue of Metals.

The question as to the fatigue of
metals under long continued stress has
been tested and, it is believed, satisfac
torily settled, in the treatment of two
similar suspension bridge links and the
results obtained. A square iron link 12
inches wide, inch thick and about 10
feet long was taken from a bridge at
Kieff, Russia, then about forty years old,
and tested against similar link which
had lain unused in store ever since the
building of the bridge. Under these
circumstances the means of comparison
were considered in the highest degree
favorable, and the result necessarily Of
Q reliable character in determining
whether or not iron actually loses, and
to what extent, any of it's strength in pro
longed service.
The effect of the test showed for the
old used link an ultimate tensile strength
of 21.8 tons per square inch, an elastic
limit Of Ill tons per square inch, an
elongation of 14.5 per cent, and con-
traction Of 1875 per cent. at the point Of
fracture In the case of the unused link,
the tensile strength was found to be 22.2
tons per square inch, with an elastic
limit of 11.9 tons, and an elongation and
contraction at fracture of 18.42 per cent.
and 1875 per cent, respectively. From
this it appears, therefore, that the two
pieces of iron were of practically identi-
cal strength-thes small difference actual
ly observed being we'll within the ordi-
nary range of variability of similar pieces
of such metal.-New York Sun.

Two Brothers in a Battle,

War means not only public but private
calamity Through its means nations
are convulsed and family relations sew
cred. During the Peninsular war one of
the generals, observing the numerous
cavalry against which his brigade had
to contend, advised the officers in COM
mand not to weaken their ranks by con-
Quoting prisoners to the rear, but after
disarming them to let them proceed of
their own accord. 1t was not uncom-
mon, therefore, to see groups of French
dragons riding quietly to the rear, look
ing for some one to take them in charge
1t happened, at one time. that a GER
tain hussar, having taken a prisoner
ordered him also to fall back, but the
man. having ridden some little distance
as directed, suddenly applied spurs to
his horse and made q detour to his
regiment. The hussar, observing this,
as quickly pursued, overlook him and
shot him dead.
Having secured his rein, he conveyed
him some little distance to the rear and
proceeded to take off the dead mans
valise. There, on overhauling it's con-
tents, he found a letter from his own
father, which proved that it was his
brother who had fallen by his hands.
Stupefied with horror, he sat motion
less and speechless for some minutes;
then big tears rolled down his cheeks,
and he exclaimed, "The king has COM
manded, and God will forgive mel"
He put spurs to his horse and rushed
headlong into battle. That very day he
was killed near the spot where he had
innocently shot his brother.-Youth's

Wants a Companion This year.


The Hermit of the Sonnblick," Peter
Lechner, who last year passed the win
ter months in the observatory on the
summit of that lonely peak, now de-
clares that he will not stay there an
other winter unless he has companion
with him. He would, The says, prefer a
wife, il he could find one. Otherwise
he will be content with male compan-
ion, who could take turns with him in
his constant task of reading the scien-
tific instruments. This decision on the
part of the Hermit of the Sonnblick"
really threatens the further existence of
the highest observatory in Europe. For
the Austrian Meteorological institute
lacks the funds to support a companion
for Lechner, and the small sum, about
G100 year, that is wanted for the pur-
pose is not forthcoming from private
sources.
1t is believed that the real explanation
of the discomfort of Herr Lechner is that
he is annoyed at being forgotten by the
public, who have neither sent him
Christmas presents nor published lauda-
tory paragraphs about him in the news
papers of late. Three years back he
said he wanted wife, and hundreds of
offers at once poured in from all quar-
ters, including several rich and many
good looking women, but he then
laughed at the idea, and continued to
prefer the state of single blessedness. It
would be distinct loss to meteorologi-
cal and physical science if the Sonnblick
observatory were to be closed, but some
means will probably be found of recon-
CLING Herr Peter TO his lonely but lofty
labors for another winter. r.-Vienna Cor.
