THE MILuoNTH OF A SECOND.

This Astonishingly Small Amount of Time
Measured by Electricity.
instantaneous photography has made
us familiar with the fact that very mi
mute subdivisions of time are possible.
Successful negatives are now frequently
taken where exposure lasts only the one
thousandth part of aisecond.
But at the first blush the statement
that single tick of the clock-the three
thousand six-hundredth part of an hour
can be divided into millionths seems
almost incredible, 60 infnitesimal is the
fraction of time to be determined.
This is scientific age, aud science is
nothing If it is not exact. Man has
measured and weighed the abysses of
the great oceans that cover three fourths
of the surface of our migratory planet
and can give approximately the number
of drops OF water and grains of sodium
chloride of which it is made up.
He has also computed the size, meas
ured the distances and analyzed the
composition of stars SO distant as to be
not even visible to the naked eye. Aft
er this it requires very bold or a very
ignorant individual to set any limit to
human ingenuity.
That extremely minute fractions Of
time could be accurately determined
was incidentally discovered by cele-
bratcd electrician while making some
famous experiments with regard to the
velocity of electricity.
For the purpose of his experiment he
caused an electric discharge from Ley
den jar to he sent through half a mile
of copper wire with break in the cen
tel. This gave rise to three sparks,
which We're reflected IN rapidly rotat-
ing mirror revolving at the enormous
rate Of 500 times a second.
The position of the sparks In the mir
ror showed that the central spark was
slightly out of line, or was slightly re-
tarded as compared with the other two,
which were strictly simultaneous. The
mirror, therefore, had moved forward
somewhat while the electric charge was
travelling through the quarter of a mile
of wire to the central break.
The difference between the position of
the sparks was found to be one-fourth of
a degree, and as the mirror revolved
dredth Of second the actual rctardation
of the central spark amounted to the one
one million one hundred and fifty-sec-
ond thousandth part Of second only.
This Is the smallest fraction of time.
ever determined. 1t is obvious that by
simply lengthening the wire through
which the electric discharge is sent less
minute fractions of time can be accu-
rately determined Ia similar manner.
Ii 1t takes an electric discharge the
one-inill1onth part Ct second to travel
over one-quartex mile OF wire, 1t takes
four times Us long TO Journey a mile, or,
to be exact. the two hundred and eighty
eighth thousandth part of second. In
other words, electricity travels 2s8, 200
miles per second.
1t is by the above method scientists
have been able to ascertain the velocity
Of electricity and duration of electric
flash, the speed and duration of light
ming, the velocity of light and much
other valuable Information respecting
the properties Of these forces of nature.

The Trade IN l1aino Ashes.

MAINE burns more frewood to keep
warm winters than any other eastern
state" says Maine man who has been
In the business. The wood is of better
quality and makes better ashes than can
be collected in Massachusetts, or New
Hampshire, and there's sharp demand
for Maine ashes in the middle and
southern states for agricultural pur-
poses. Great quantities are used in
Massachusetts, also. There are num-
Der of dealers in Boston who make
business of collecting ashes through
Maine for shipment. Carloads and car
loads of them go out of the state by rail
yearly, and shiploads are sent to Florida
and Georgia, where they want the best
hard wood article. They send north phos-
phate rock, and we send them ashes,
and the trade is benefit to both Sec
tons.
There are some parts Of Maine de-
nominated prime by the dealers, be-
cause they are in hard wood, maple and
birch regions and do not burn much soft
wood. In some of these localities there
Is sharp competition in the business.
Leached ashes from the potash and soap
factories used to be shipped mostly, but
they've gone out, and dry ashes are
wanted. So much is this the case that
one potash man 1 knew, dishonest fell
low, dried his leached ashes and shipped
them as unleached. The potashes and
local soap factories of Maine are run
under by the demand for dry ashes and
are going out of business. Probably the
day is not far distant when dealers in
Portland, Bangor and other Maine
towns will look after this trade and do
the shipping direct from Maine ports to
the southern states. There is large
profit in it, if 1 am not mistaken. -

John Ruskin's Home.

Brentwood, the chosen lakeside home
Of John Ruskin during the last quarter
century of his life, occupies one Of the
most favored spots in all England. Sit
uated on the border line of Lancashire
and Cumberland in the lake district, it
overlooks the smallest of the waters in
that lake country with which the
names of Wordsworth, Southey, Cole
ridge, Lamb, Lloyd and Wilson are in
delibly connected.
Set in the background of half encir-
cling wood of exquisite grace and mys-
tic beauty, as seen In the green half
light of Its tranquil shade, Brentwood
Is protected from the east winds by the
open, rising moorland that stretches far
to the rear and faces long slope Of
lawn that sweeps down to Coniston
waters edge. Behind the green and
purple moor the water Of its overflow
ing wells runs swiftly down the rocks
with all the fuss of a real cascade, and
the exalted rock of ''Naboth" rises just
beyond the borders of his estate-a sort
Of natural pulpit which is rented by
Ruskin, so that from its greater height,
which he loves to climb, he may gaze
upon the wider view. In front the mar
row lake, sparkling in the sun and blue
as the waters of the Rhone or of Thun.

Tidal Waves.

The question whether there be such q

captain Of an Atlantic liner. ''Oh.
yes," he answered; I'VE keep a tidal
wave for the passengers and the newspa-
pers. If you want to know what 1t real
ly is, will tell you. 1t is when pow
erful ship is driven through head sea
at such speed that before she can clear
herself of one big wave she is into Sec
ond. The second and first together are
too much for the ship, and she carries
away a deckhouse or bridge or boat or

CHALK HILL, Pa, April 121rhe march
OF the Commonweal from Upiontown to
this point, on the Alleghenies, was one Of
the most trying onos yet experienced. 1t
was made in a driving storm, with the
ground covered with a foot of snow. The
stops were many, and at times it was
necessary for q force of men to be sent to
the rear to push along the oommissary
and supply wagons. The men were weary
with the tramp, and gladly availed them
selves of the opportunity to rest
Six hours were consumed In the march,
but at dusk camp was pitched in the old
stage house near here, where each COM
mune was placed in room where big
fire was raging One hundred and eighty
men on foot left Uniontown and contin-
ued the tramp, undismayed by the dis
comforts caused by the weather. The
scene was surprisingly picturesque with
the trees and bushes fairly groaning un-
der their foliage of white. AT Hopwood,
the only town passed, all houses were
locked and the male portion of the com
munity viewed the army from the portico
of the postolfiee. In the building were a
number of Winchester rifles ready for use.
There was no use for the firearms, and a
sigh of relief went up when the procession
had disappeared over the mountain.
