Its Threat to spank the khedive.
The boy who is the khedive of Egypt
has taken it back and said he didn't mean
it, and 30 the English government has
withdrawn its threat to spank him. The
incident has Rueh aggravated the Egyp-
tian situation locally, but has improved
the British position before the other
powers. The exhibition Of headstrong
stupidity by the modern pharaoh serves
ss an abundant excuse for England to
continue the protectorate until the lad
develops ordinary discretion. The FIRST
suspicion that the khediye was prompt.
ed by European mischief makers to in
suit his unwelcome British guests is no
longer held in view of the utter folly of
his outbreak.
The matter is regarded merely as an
other proof Of the incompetence of .he
youngster for serious responsibilities.
The government accounts agree that his
renewed display Of hostility toward the
English will make the task of British
supervision exceedingly difficult and may
lead to serious native outbreaks.

Dynauos.

There exists general and deeply root.
ed idea that direct current dynamos OF
very high potential are not at all prac.
teal. The actual historical and prac.
tical facts are that the high potential di.
rect current machines were more exten.
sively and successfully operated when
the dynamo first came into general use
about 1880 than any other type, either
direct or alternate. Furthermore, their
number and size have largely increased,
and the voltage at which they can be
practically worked has been steadily
raised until we now have 60 light dyna-
mos as the standard size of large ma
chimes, generating about 5000 volts and
10 amperes.
Arc dynamos of 80 light capacity are
also regularly made by several manu-
facturers, and 100 or even 1875 light ma
chimes are built and used. happen to
know of one station where there are four
arc dynamos rated at 1876 lights each
which run every night with load of
from 100 to 105 lights. These machines
must generate about 5000 volts each.
No great practical or other difficulty is
found in operating arc machines, except
that of danger to persons, but this is
merely due to the high potential and does
not depend very much upon the type of
machine or character of current.-Cas-

The register of the Girard House re-
Gently recorded the arrival in the city of
Thomas Godbepraisedo of Barrow-in-Fur-
ness, England. Being approached upon
the subject of the oddity of his surname.
Mr.. Godbepraised said:
.Yes. suppose the name does sound
very odd to Americans. although such
names are not altogether unusual in
England and especially in Lancashire,
which was a stronghold of the Round
heads or Puritans in Cromwell's time.
Ny home is in Barrow-in-F -Furness, which
is in Lancashire. Ny ancestors prior to
Cromwell's time were all royalists. The
family name was Elliot. A younger son
renounced the religious faith and politi-
gal opinions of his forefathers and be
came Puritan. As was usual in such
cases he abjured his csrnal name of
Charles Elliot and took the inspired one
of Ezekiel Godbepraised.
There is quite romance connected
with this ancestor of mine. He fell in
love with the only daughter of Colonel
Fielding in the Cavaliers army. and not
being able to obtain her fathers consent
to their marriage Ezekiel abducted her
and for two years kept her hidden in a
dreary house that stood near the little
town of Formby, where son was born.
After battle little to the south of the
River Mersey between the Cavaliers and
Roundheads her brothers discovered her
and carried her off to old Furness abbey.
In the hurry the child was left behind,
but as a result of the mothers pleading
one of the brothers returned to Formby
to get it.
''In the meantime Ezekiel had discov-
cred his loss and removed the child.
Then the followed the brother back to
Furness abbey. but arrived too late. The
brother and sister had set sail from Bar
row beach for the isle of Man. A storm
came up. and Ezekiel arrived just in time
to see the boat founder. He returned to
his child more bitter against the royalists
than ever and brought the child up with
the same sentiments.
sat the close of the war Ezekiel adopt
ed the trade of a weaver and settled in
Barrow in -Furness. Thus the name was
perpetuated. the stern commands of the
father forbidding the son to throw off the
fanatical nickname when tine heat of Pu-
ritanical zeal had given away.-Phila-

A Little Learning.

We ehave been often told that "a little
learning is a dangerous thing" and we
may be just as well assured that a little
bread is not the safest of all things. 1t
would be far better to have plenty of
both, but the sophism of those who use
this argument is that they represent the
choice between little and much, whereas
our election must be made between little
and none at all. If the choice is to be
made between small portion of infor-
nation or of food and absolute igno-
rance or starvation, common sense gives
its decision in the homely proverb, Half
loaf is better than no bread. New

He Lost His Case.

quent men Illinois ever produced, was
once taken down completely in a speech
at Decatur" said E. F. Layman, an at
torney of Chicago. He had case in
which there were some peculiarly pa
thetic circumstances, the rights of a
young girl whose property had been
squandered and who was reduced to des-
titution being involved. Judge Emerson
made the most of it, and as he closed his
speech solemn hush had fallen over the
courtroom.
''Tears stood in the eyes of the jurors,
-ssssa -axen the Judge coughed sympathet-
ically and hid his head behind the trial
docket. His opponent. whose name /
have now forgotten, saw that the spell
had to be broken in some way, or his case
was lost. Arising slowly to his feet, and
in voice of deep solemnity, and with
slow deliberation, he said, Gentlemen
of the jury, let us continue these solemn
exercises by singing the one hundred and
fifteenth psalm A roar of laughter
followed from the audience, and Judge
Emerson lost his case"

The celebrated feast given by Vitel.

HOW THE WORLD WILL END.
Our Planet Will Die Not by Accident, but
q Natur: Death.

Natuis Dcdtn.
According to al probability. notwith-
standing all the circumstances which
threaten it, our planet will die not of an
accident, but natural death. That death
will be the consequence of the Axtinc ion
of the sun in 10000, 900 years or more
perhaps 10000, ,000-since its condensa-
ton at a relatively moderate rate will
give it. on one hand, 100000 years OF
existence. while on the other hand the
inevitable fall of meteors into the sun
may double this number. Even if you
suppose the duration of the sun TO be pro-
longed to 10000, 900 years. it is still in
contestable that the radiation from the
sun cools it and that the temperature Of
ali bodies tends to an equilibrium. The
day will come when the sun will be ex-
tinct Then the earth and all the other
planets of our system will cease to be the
abode of life. They will be erased from
the great book and will revolve, black
cemeteries. around an extinguished sun
Will these planets continue to exist
even then: Yes, probably in the case of
Jupiter and perhaps Saturn. No. be-
yond doubt. for the small bodies, such
as the earth. Venus, Mars. Mercury and
the moon. Already the moon appears
to have preceded us toward the final des-
ert. Mars is much further advanced than
the earth toward the same destiny. We
nus. younger than US, will doubtless sur
vive us. These little worlds lose their
elements of vitality much faster than
the sun loses its heat. From century TO
century, from year to year, from day to
day, from hour to hour. the surface of
the earth is transformed. On the one
hand, the continents are crumbling away
and becoming covered by the sea, which
insensibly and by very slow degrees
tends to invade and submerge the en-
tire globe. On the other hand. the
amount of water on the surface of the
globe is diminishing. A careful and
reasonable calculation shows that by the
action of erosure alone all the land on
our planet will becovered by water in
10000, 900 years.-Camille Flammarion
