 A gentleman passing along the street saw son dragging his father into the street by the hair of the head.

Eject Of Cold and Heat on Food. i.

The necessity of cooking food to de-
velop or create a palatabe taste is i'm
portant. The flesh of fowl is soft enough
to masticate, but only person on the
verge of starvation could eat it before
heat has changed its taste, and thus
made it one of the most savory and ac-
ceptable of meats.
Coffee also we'll illustrates this point.
When coffee is green, that is unbrowned,
it is acrid in taste, very tough, even
horny in consistency, and decoction
made from it is altogether unpleasant.
But when, for certain time, it is sub
jected to degree of heat it loses its
toughness, becomes brittle, changes
color and there is developed in it most
agreeable flavor. This favoring prop
erty is an actual product OF the heat
which causes chemical changes in an es.
sential oil contained in the bean. Heat
not only develops but creates Aavors,
changing the odor and taste as well as
the digestibility of foods.
Some foods are better for being cold.
Sweet dishes as rule are improved by a
low temperature. The flavor of butter is
very different and very much finer when
cold than when warm; it is absolutely
necessary to keep it cool in order to pre-.
serve the fiavor.-Atlanta Constitution.

Uses Of a Monster Search Light.

A. @. Shaw gives some interesting de-
tails concerning the operation of the
Mount Washington search light. Thou
sands of copies OF the code by which the
transmission of signals to different points
is effected, have been distributed in the
country around Mount Washington, and
the flashing of the light at night affords
entertainment to the whole country side,
especially to visitors at the hotels, who
gather in knots in the plazzas, and dis
cuss the all-absorbing topic of ''search
light" and endeavor to read the messages
signalled from the mountain. Mr.. Shaw
was at Maplewood, twenty miles from
the top of the mountain by air line,
when the protector was turned on to the
hotel for about twenty minutes one clear
night. The light, even at that distance,
was too bright to be looked upon COM
fortably, aud by it the time on watch
could be distinctly told and the type of
an ordinary headline could be read with
ease. On white surfaces, such as the
front of the hotel, curious slimmering
effect was produced. Small, dark
patches see ned to float constantly over
the surface, caused possibly by the mag
nifyiug of minute particles of vapor in
the atmosphere, or by some other phe-
nomena not yet explained: The signal.
ing is accomplished by metal damper
in the inside of the protector, which can
be lowered between the arc and the lens
by lever extending to the outside and
by means of which flashes of short or
long duration can be made. While
possessing the great advantage of afford.
ing a means of transmitting intelligence
over wide tract of country this search
light will be deprived of much of its
usefulness under special conditions un-
less it can be utilized in connectiolsk,ith
secret code, and such metiiSd of
communication will doubtless be made
TO supplement that already in operation.

MonstrOus Force OF TOrnadoqs.

Much has been said about electricity
as factor for destructiveness in the
various gyrating storm clouds known as
cyclones, drechoes aud tornadoes. In
all of this voluminous mass of so-called
scientific opinions aud deductions one
fact seems to have been entirely over
looked, viz; The almost resistless force
of wind when moving with high velocity.
When the velocity is but fifty miles an
hour the pressure of air in motion is
equal TO twelve pounds to the square
foot, and when this velocity rises to 100
miles per hour its force rises TO the
equivalent OF 1872 pounds to the square
foot, the augmentation of force being
always proportional to the square of the
velocity. It needs no further elabora-
tion OF amplihcation OF this statement
to convey to the intelligent reader au
idea OF the monstrous mechanical force
which such rapid travelling mass OF
air must have-a power great enough to
tear down any structure that has yet
been built by man, OK 10 uproot whole
forests of the largest trees now growing
on the surface of the earth.-St. Louis

A Curious River.

One of the curiosities of Mexico is the
Sonora River. 1t rises in the norteas tern
part of the State of Sonora aud flows
southwest until it sinks in about forty
miles OF the Gulf. Where it passes
Hermosillo the quantity OF water It
carries is immense, but in the short
distance of twenty miles there is not the
least vestige of water, and a burning
waste of sand extends from there to the
coast.
Whether this water merely sinks into
the sandy soil aud is evaporated by the
great heat, OF has some subterraneau
outlet by which it reaches the sea, has
never been determined; and, as far as
am able to find out, no one capable of
Judging such matters has ever visited

The California Tarret Builder.

On the Pacific Coast there is a
spider which builds its house, so to
speak, in very peculiar manner, and is,
therefore, styled the California turret
builder. 1t mines into the ground more
or less perpendicularly to the depth of
eight or ten inches, and from quarter
to half inch in diameter. The size of
the house varies, according to the sex
and maturity. This burrow is lined
with silk throughout, and the nest of
full grown female will have a turret three
inches in height above the surface of the
ground. The material of the turret is
made of whatever vegetation may be in
the vicinity, woven together with silk.
1t has wide range over California, the
turrets presenting pleasing variation on
account Of the different materials with
which they are made. In the rainy sea-
son they dig and enlarge these tubes;
but they do not then carry off or scatter
the earth, but utilize it by building an
other earthen tuIret, reminding one,
when fpished, of a miniature vase in
terra Gotta, without a lid or covering of
any kind. The sexes occupy different
nests; but the newly-hatched young are
always found with the mother at the
bottom of her burrow, which is more
roomy at the base than at the opening.
1t is closely allied to the trap-doOr
spider of other regions, but is smaller

Or in the tourney sword TO sword;

He bears no shield, our modern Knight,
No glitteriDg sword or lance he wields,
Yet well he knows the keen delight
That courage finds in warning fields.
To bear the ball beyond the goal.
To check the rush, TO tackle true,

As joust or combat used to do.
And who shall say that courage high
Has not its place in modern life,
