How Sugar Melts.

If we drop lump Of sugar into cup
of tea, we find it takes a considerable
time to melt if allowed to remain at the
bottom of the vessel, but if we hold it
up in the spoon near the surface Of the
liquid it dissolves much more speedily.
This is owing to the sugar, as it melts,
rendering the portion of the tea con-
tanning it heavier. The sweetened part,
therefore, descends, leaving the sugar
constantly in contact with unsweetened
or only partially-sweetened tea. in fact,
a continual circulation of fluid is pro-
NOTED until the whole is dissolved.
When the sugar is placed or permitted
to lie at the bottom of the cup, it dis
solves until the layer of fluid next it is
thoroughly sweetened or saturated, when
it practically ceases to dissolve any fur
ther, the sweetened and heavier stratum
above it acting for a considerable time,
until the law of diffusion comes grad
ually into play, like an impervious cov-
ering in keeping back the lighter un-
sweetened fluid above.
Hence the reason also why stirring, in
breaking up the saturated layer and al
lowing access to the unsweetened por-
ton, is so effectual in bringing about
the uniform sweetening of tea. Life is
not infrequently sweetened by the same
stirring up process. ess.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Duration of Noah,s Flood.

Ir Goulds ''Notes and Queries" vol
eme 6, page 2s4, the following questions
are asked: s'Areq the floods known as
Noahs, Ducalion's and the Atlantean
deluges considered to be one and the
same:" The editor refers the question
to his correspondents, and Mrs. L. T.
George of Chicago answers it, inciden-
tally giving the following curious par
ticulars and minute details concerning
the "great breaking up of the waters:"
''The deluge was threatened in the year
1886 and began on Dec. Z, 1856, B. c.,
and continued 377 days. The ark rested
upon Mount Ararat on May 6. 1857, but
Noah did not leave it until Dec. is fol-
lowing" Any reader who imagines that
1t would be an easy task to figure these
details from the Biblical account can
and basis for his calculations in the
seventh and eighth chapters of Genesis.

AN UNANSWERED QUESTION.
Why Do Cats Eyes Shine In the Dari
While Mems Eyes Do Not?

'"-*J ~ Nae1 @J0n EhAhc III tttt AfAf N
While Mems Eyes Do Not?
Why do cats eyes shine in the dark
while mems eyes do not9 The author Of
idle Days In Patagonia raises this
question without answering it, He shot
and wounded an eagle owl, and the sight
OF the bird, he says, was one Of the
greatest surprises with which nature
ever favored. him. The owls haunt was
nn island overgrown with grass and tall
willows. Thither Mr. Hudson went to-
ward evening and found him upon his
perch waiting for sunset. He eyed the
intruder so calmlB as almost to disarm
him, but hunters of specimens have
way Of hardening their hearts. Mr..
Hudson fired. The owl swerved on his
perch, remained suspended for few mo-
ments and then slowly fluttered down.
He says:
found my victim stung to fury by
his wounds and ready for the last su-
prefne effort. Even in repose he is big,
eaglelike Bird now in the uncertain
light he looked gigantic in size-a mon
ster of strange form and terrible aspect.
Each particular feather stood on end,
the tawny barred tail spread out like a
fan, the immense tiger colored wings
wide open and rigid, so that as the bird,
that had clutched the grass with his
great feathered claws, swayed slowly
from side to side-just as a snake about
to strike sways his head, or as an angry,
watchful cat moves its tail-first the tip
Of one. then of the other wing touched
the ground.
The black horns stood erect, while in
the center of the wheel shaped head the
beall snapped incessantly, producing a
sound like the clicking of a sewing ma
chine. This was suitable setting for
the pair of magnificent, furious eyes, on
which gazed with kind of fascination,
not unmixed with fear, when I remem-
bered the agony suffered on former oc-
casions from sharp, crooked talons driv-
en- into me to the bone.
The irides were of bright orange
color, but every time attempted to ap-
proach the bird they lrindled into great
globes of quivering yellow fame, the
black pupils being surrounded by scin-
tillating crimson light which threw out
minute yellow sparks into the air. When
/ retired from the bird, this preternatu-
{ ral fiery aspect would instantly vanish.
The question as to the cause of this
fiery appearance is one hard to answer.
We know that the source of the lumi-
Mostly in owls and cats eyes is the light
rejecting membrane between the retina
and the sclerotic coat of the eyeball, but
the mystery remains. When with the
bird, particularly noticed that every
time 1 retired the nictilating membrane
would Immediately cover the eyes and
obscure them for some time, as they will
when an owl is confronted with strong
s;alight, and this gave me the impression
that the fiery, flashing appearance was
accompanied with or followed bya burn
ing or smarting sensation.
| have lived great deal among semi
savage men. l have often seen them

Saddle on the Wrong Horse.

An emaciated dude applied to Har-
lem livery stable and wanted to hire a
horse, but deposit was demanded.
"You want $50 deposit. Do you think
