spontaneous Comnustion.

AS it is known that spontaneous com
bustion sometimes takes place in car
goes of coal, it has been suggested that
under certain conditions enormous
coal-felds may ignite and in time pro-
duce volcanoes. Occasional and violent
eruptions may be caused by the burn
ing away of barriers and the inflow of
water suddenly producing an enor-
nous bulk of steam, which must find
an outlet. The idea that clean cotton
may take fire spontaneously is secuted
by many experts. They claim that
what is called by this name is the re-
suit of some spark that may smolder
unobserved for weeks and then may
break out in some unsuspected fashion.
Tobacco, linen, jute and oily cotton,
however, infiamc spontaneously on
what would seem, to a scientific mind.

One Consolation.

The author of From Tripoli to
Tunis' tells an amusing story of dis
pute between a diplonatist and a Gus
toms official at Tripoli. On the dock
at Tripoli may be seen curious col
lection of articles. They represent i'm
port and export taxes and are sold by
the customs officials The import tax
is eight per cent of the value and the
export tax is one per cent. If anyone
refuses to pay the tax the officials take
possession of one-eighth of the mer-
chandise. Some time ago European
foreign minister visited Tripoli in the
service of his country. He had with
him three hundred visiting cards.
When tax was demanded on these he
was angry and refused to pay it. A
high official of the government was
summoned to settle the matter. He
solemnly confscated eight per cent. of
the merchandise in question-twenty-
four visiting cards. Very well, keep
them,' cried the irate ambassador,
keep them. l resign myself 1 shall
not be obliged to pay you a visit ct
ceremony for twenty-four years."

ONE MANS DIPLOMACY.
It Stopped the Baby'J Cryin. and Earne
Him Everlasting Gratitude.

It stopped the I;aby'J Cryin:, and Earned
Him Everlasting Gratitude.
It was in an IL" train and q baby
was crying with all the strength of its
two-ycar-old lungs. The expression
car changed from Indifference to pity,
then to. annoyance, and finally to
downright anger. Finally, says the
New York Recorder, q man two or three
seats from the crying child leaned
over and snapped his fingers quickly.
The effect was magical. The child
stopped in the middle of yell, and
gazed open eyed and open mouthed at
the man. He snapped his fingers sew
eral times, then, accompanying them
with grotcsqucly cheerful smiles and 4
peculiar shake of his head which
seemed to highly interest the cross
cherub and appeal to his sense of
humor, for q wavcring little smile
crcpt around the corners of the droop-
ing mouth and the cries ceased for
good. The man leaned back in his
seat, bestowing occasional cheerful
winlls and smiles at the vanquished
foe.
He reaped his reward. The old fell
low next to him declared he had diplo-
macy enough to make prime minis
ter, tho men opposite peeDcd at him in
friendly recognition over the tops of
their papers, the woman near him with
nerves and headache said: THANK
you," and the pretty girl in the cor
ncr gave him a sweet smile. That man
left the car followed by score of
blessings, and the cross baby turned
over and actually went to sleep.

STAR SHOWERS.
Times When They Fell from the Heaven
Like Hail.

Like Hail.
The first of the notably third OF a
century, meteoric displays which went
into the records occurred on November
1e. 1899, and was witnessed by Hum
boldt. the scientist traveller, in South
America. Humboldt gave vivid de-
scription of it, which is in books on
popular astronomy. Boupland, an
other scientific writer who also OBJ
served the display, said that IRON the
beginning of the phenomenon there
was not space in the armament equal
in extent to three diameters of the
moon that was not filed at every mo-
ment with bolides and falling stars"
The next of these third of century
star showers occurred on the night OF
November -, 1888, and it lasted seven
or eight hours. During most OF this
time the meteors flying through the air
were as thick rs snOwfiakeS IN a mod
crate snowstorm. This was seen all
over North America. In the southern
states many of the slaves were so
frightened by the spectacle, thinking
the end of the world had come, that
some of them died with terror. But
the fright was shared il to large ex-
tent by whites also, and all over the
country.
Thirty-three years later, or in 1866,
Europe saw almost as remarkable a
star shower. at the same time in No
vember, which lasted six or seven
hours: but as this country was still
turned toward the sun at that time we
missed most of it. The next year,
though, the shower came when 1t was
night here. and as the atmosphere was
clear it was observed over the greater
part of the United States.
AS this third of century law OF
periodicity isr established we may ex-
pect another of those notable displays
