The Greek Year.

The Greek year consisted of three
seasons only. Prometheus enumer-
ates them. They had no sign, says
he, "of winter, OF tlowery spring, of
fruitful summer" In ancient Ger
many a similar division of the year
prevailed, for Tacitus makes the
caustic remark that among the Ger
mans winter, spring and summer
have a meaning and q name, but to
that people the name and blessings
Of autumn are alike unknown.
1t is not likely, then, that our Sax
on fcrafathers were acquainted with
the last named season, and our very
term autumn is an echo of the Ro-
man tongue - Gentleman's Maga-
zine.

During the year 1894 Gay-Lussac
made a balloon ascension alone in
which he reached a height of $4,000
feet. This ascension was made from
one Of the many pleasure resorts of
Paris in the heat of summer. When
he quilted the earth the Fahrenheit
thermometer registered Sc degs. in
the shade; within an hour he was in
an atmosphere that only showed a
pressure of thirteen inches on his
barometer, while the thermometer
marked IS degs. below zero! The
lack of atmospheric pressure caused
the blood to flow from his eyes, nose,
mouth and ears, and the extreme cold
gave him a rigor from which he never
fully recovered.-St. Louis Republic
