The Intelligent Compositor.

The Intelligent compositor" III
England has covered himself with
glory and distanced all previous rec
ords. His performance is described
in the Westminster Gazette. The
victim was a writer for The Won
ans Herald, who chose to express a
certain idea by means of an algebraic
formula-thus: IF there are only X
situations, and Y men, together with
y women, compete for them, then
what is to become of the y men who
will be put out if the young women
are put ln?'
The intelligent compositor' afore-
said had never heard of such thing
as algebra apparently. At all events
he went ahead in accordance with his
own judgment, and when the proof
reached the author it read as follows:
IF there are only Christian sltua-
tions, and Christian men, together
with young women, compete for
them, then what is to become of the
young men who will be put out if the
young women are put in2"

Oricin of IlIeCtricitY.

Professor Elihu Thomson, the elcc
trical expert, in the course Of d ice
ture in Lynn on lightning and high
potentials, stated that he inclined to
the belief that lightning is caused by
the action Of the sun on the clouds
through the ether, arguing thatif the
sun can produce the aurora borealis
in the light, thin air, which he repro
duced by electrical apparatus, there
is reason to think that in the dense
air nearer the earth it car produce a
current of high pressure that will
strike through with brilliant dis
charges. He showed a completely safe
protection from thunderbolts in the
shape Of a cage of brass wires and
declared that an umbrella held open
over the head with brass chains hang
ing from the ends of the ribs makes

said an Arch street physician. Il
asked him if he ever took any inter
est in the sporting intelligence pre-
sented in the daily papers. He re-
piled in the negative and added that
sports of any kind were distasteful
to him, and some even abhorrent to
the principles instilled into him from
early youth. then told him he was
suffering from the effects of dwell
ing too long on the grave concerns
and problems of life, and that if he
wished to prolong his years he must
cake hold of lighter things, and that
| knew of no mental diversion so eff.
fectual as to take a positive interest
in the sporting events of the day-an
interest which he might easily create
by little persistent reading of this

temper was gradually sub
dued, and he became as cheerful and
cOmpanionable a man as l ever

An true as you were born.
He grabbed that burnin fuse in both
His little hands, he did.
An yanked it out! Say, did we shout
Then for the captains kid?
The captain came, an he was mad:

Routine of Day OF Marching In Some
Great Desert
This caravan life has a subtle charm
of its own when one is in perfect health
and things go smoothly; and even if
they do not. the minor discomforts of
a nomad existence do not weigh heav-
lily on nerves blunted by the open air
and a certain amount of healthy
fatigue. When one journeys by vesti-
bule train or Wagner sleeping-car the
short space of time between two cities
is like an interim, an entr'acte, during
which ones daily routine is suspended,
to be resumed again only when he
leaves the train at his destination. But
here. where the distances are so vast,
the real existence is on the road. and
the brief stay in each city. full of fever
ish, agitated movement and unrest, be-
comes the interim and the traveller
looks forward to the calm and pure air
of the desert plateau beyond and the
comfort of his tent The routine of
daily life is little trying at first, but
easily learned. Each twenty-four
hours is divided into four parasitic
period of hurry and activity in the
early morning, longer one of compar-
alive tranquility on the march. the
brief hour of hustle on arriving at our
