That VIC know so little, as a people, Of our
birds, trees and flowers, is not due, think, so
much to any Unborn lack Of appreciation Of the
beautiful. a. to the fact that we have been
obliged to concentrate our energies in those di-
rcctions which seemed TO lead to some immediate
material advantage, leaving us little time to en-
pend upon the study Of such natural objects as

Bullet Waves.

One of the interesting results of the
recent experiments in England in photo
graphing flying bullets has been to show
that the disturbance in the air travels
faster than the bullet itself.
The photographs exhibit air waves in
advance of the bullets, even when the
latter are moving faster than the veloc-
ity of sound. ~ .~ ...,........<.
In one case where the bullet was NOV
ing considerably faster than sound trav
els in the air it was preceded by an at
mospheric disturbance which, at the
moment the photograph was taken, was
half an inch in advance Of the point Of
the bullet. Even when the bullets were
travelling four times as fast as sound the
atmospheric disturbance kept ahead Of
them.-Youth's Companion.

Matches and Insurance.

"Man in 68 wants some parlor matches.
He says these eight day sticks are a con-
founded nuisance" the bellboy said to
the clerk in one of the hotels yesterday.
"Tell him he'll have to get along with
the old style MATCH" answered the
clerk. "The insurance companies don't
allow parlor matches in the rooms.
Eyes, that's fact," he continued in
answer to a surprised questioner. ''In-
surance policies of nearly all companies
prohibit the keeping and use of parlor
matches in any part of a hotel, but they
are generally kept in the Offices because
they are in greater favor and more con-
venient than the sulphur match, and the
requirements Of the policy is to that ex-
tent overlooked by both it's holders and
the issuing company. There isn't much
chance for an accidental ignition of
parlor match to do much harm in hotel
Office, but they are dangerous things in
rooms where carpets or curtains or stray
paper are liable to catch fire from them.
"They are not only more easily lighted
by accident, such as stepping upon them,
but, as is not generally known, they often
break out in fame from spontaneous
combustion. You may judge how easily
this is liable to happen by holding a
bunch of them in the dark and watching
the fame that continually arises from
them. The sulphur match is not so dan
gerous in any Of these particulars.
