= 'dard, has made a great number of ex-
periments upon accumulat tors, and has
advanced new theory. According to
him. during the charge a sulphide and
binoxide of lead are formed; during the
discharge the sulphur and the oxygen
are recombined so as to form dilute sui
phuric acid. Storage takes place be-
cause neither the sulphur nor the him
oxide of lead is attacked by the dilute
sulphur acid.
Over the whole world the proportion
of the sexes is about equal, but in sep
arate parts of the world L varies great
". For instance, in this country there
are 9S women to every 100 men: in Eu-
rope there are rather more than 100
women to 100 men. Canada has 95 wo-
men to 100 men. In uncivilized coun-
tres the men are believed largely to

a trifiing mind. lacking in decision. A

born hypocrite If not thief. When
the ears are set very high on the head,
their possessor is usually found to be
narrow-minded. Large, well-shaped
ear that do not spread too much to the
breeze indicate generosity and are gen
orally found on leaders of the worlds
opinions. Although there are so many
million pairs OF ears in existence, no
two pairs are alike and each has a
marked individuality.
The chronological Journal having
stated that lit is doubtful if anyone
ever lived ten days without water, q
correspondent, sevepty-one years of
age, writes to say that he has lately
gone 210 days without drinking any
thing, that he never suffers thirst, and
made no effort to refrain. he makes
two meals a day of apples and eats
heartily of cereal porridges, and his
food is therefore very rich in water
and apparently sufficient to the needs
OF his system for that fluid. While his
experience is exceptional. it is not won
derful, and he has certainly not lived
21O days without water.
i'm Shakespeare's day there was no
scenery used on the stage; the only dec
orations were tapestries and curtains.
In those days the actors and actresses
had to do more than merely repeat
their lines; they had to supply the
scenic effect-what little there was
rs well as the action of the perform
ancc. They had no races with real
horses and moving panorama, nor any
saw mill. with n real buzz saw and real |
logs, to fall back upon The effect of
