Night Air.

sit always amuses me-" remarked
DR.. T. L. Goodwin of Chicago, "when
I hear people say that they are afraid
to have their bedroom windows open at
night, owing to the night air. What
other kind of air can we breathe at
night but night air? The choice is be-
tween pure air from without and foul
air from within. It has been proved
that large number of the diseases we
suffer from are occasioned by people
sleeping with their windows shut An
open window most nights in the year
can never hurt any one. In large cities
the night air is the best and purest to
be had in any Of the "a hours, and it
would be great deal healthier to keep
the windows closed during the day than
at night. The absence of smoke, etc,
tends to make the night the best time
for airing the rooms

Solomon Might Have Hesitated.

Solomon had to sit in Judgment in
many difficult cases, but wise as he was
even he might have hesitated before de-
Gliding the simple case in which lat
ter day justice pronounced Judgment
A woman was summoned to answer a
charge of withholding pitchfork
which had been lent to her by a neigh
boring gardener. She straightway de-
clared that the fork had been the prop
erty of her late-husband, and in proof
thereof showed the justice her hus-
bands initials, s'M. w." cut in the
handle. The complainant demurred, and
turning the fork the other way asserted
that the initials "W. M" were his
The justice was in a quandary and con-
fessed his inability to determine which
way the fork was to be held in reading
the letters, but the woman ruined her
case by interpreting, unasked, that al
though she knew the implement had
been her husbands property, she
wouldn't want to swear to it.
Anyway" she added, ''my husband
died. He had fork, and he didn't take
it with him. If that isn't it, where is
it," .-.s.
In the absence of better proof, judg-
ment was given for the plaintiff. New

FREAKS OF NATURE.


eon1s Curious Things That Amuse and A.
tonish Men Of Science
Natures freaks of fancy afford
strange study. People are constantly
sending to the National museum sup
posed fossil animals and other oddities
which are in reality mere accidental
forms carved by water. A pebble in q
stream gathers about itself grains Of
Sand until an odd shaped lump Is
made. A favorite shape for such Jumps
Is that of a turtle with four legs, head
and tail, even the lines of the she'll be-
ing sometimes distinct. Similar .ooncre-
lions OF carbonate of iron and clay as
sumo the appearance of petrified pea
nuts. Break one, and you will always
find inside small spiral Wrinkle shell,
which has served as the nucleus. A
queer counterfeit of this kind, forward
ed to Washington not long ago, was an
alleged fossil foot Of o child, with a lit.
tie stocking on, the latter showing signs
Of wear ON the ball of the foot and ON
the heel It was only a concretion, as
was likewise. what appeared to be pet

- One eminent scientist has been anus
ing himself of late by making imitation
spider webs out of quartz fibers. 1t is
we'll known that copper wire can be
drawn to q fineness much less than the
thickness of q hair-in fact, to the di-
ameter Of the one thousandth part Of an
inch. But glass may be spun finer than
copper, while even the finest spun glass
J, IA not so fine as silk fiber. The latter.
however; is coarse compared with the
threads that can be obtained by melting
quarts under a blowpipe and pulling it
out Such threads may be reduced to o
thinness Of one-millionth Of an inch.
Drawn to such tenuity, they are invisi-
BILE under microscope of the highest
power. Yet they are stronger In proper
tion to their thickness than the best
quality Of bar steel. Enough thread like
this could emade from q single cubic
inch Of quartz to go around the world
Ne66 times. Al grain of sand barely large
enough to be visible to the naked eye
would yield 1000 miles Of thread.
Obviously no practical use can be-
made of threads ssoi extremely fine.

into oobwebs by the scientist aforesaid.
They would not catch flies because they
wereteo, slippery, having no gluten ON
them, like real cobwebs. This difficulty
was got over by moistening a straw in
castor oil and gently stroking the threads
with it; then the webs captured flies
fairly we'll. But cobweb is incomplete
without spider, SO it occurred to the
experimenter to attract an arachnid to
his web by the buzzing Of a fly. It was
difficult to make a fly buzz to order, but
. satisfactory imitation was produced
by permitting tuning fork to vibrate
against the quartz fibers. This fetched
the spider right away. The scientist also
amused himself with blowing bubbles
of quartz, which looked exactly like
the most beautiful soap bubbles

Joliet.

The name of Joliet has had so many
recommendations and has been the cause
of SO many puns that the Hon. H. v.
Marsh of that city has written poem
in which he tells the school children
how to pronounce it. The school board
of Joliet has considered this poem of
enough Importance to have it printed
and distributed in the public schools
The accepted pronunciation is 'Jo-li-

The Biblical Locust.

''You have read about John the Bap-
fist living on locusts and wild honey, I"
said Mr.. Wiley of Lewiston, twho is re-
Gently home from Centrali America
"Well, here's locust" and he pro-
duced from his pocket a-well, a locust.
It didn't hop or jump and Ihad,no SEM
blance Of life because indeed it was
nothing but a great pod, looking like a
huge cranberry bean pod. fully 5 inches
long and almost as big around as a ba.
mana. It had deep mahogany colored
skin of hard consistency. Il have eaten
bushels Of Them, said Mr.. Wiley.
"They grow on trees as big as elms and
fall to the ground when ripe. Split them
open, and they contain yellow sub
stance looking like mustard. Mixed
with water, it makes very delicious
and nourishing drink that will sustain
life for long time. One of these pods
will make quart Of the drink, and ev.
erybody uses them. They may not be

Sponge Fishing.

The Greeks are considered, the prin-
cipal sponge fishers, and it takes much
experience, skill and hardihood to quail
fy a man for a first class place among
sponge divers. Many Of the most valu-
able specimens are found alta depth
varying from 10 to 80 fathoms To aid
in the descent, the divers make use of
triangular stone, with hole in one cor
ner, through which a rope is spliced.
On reaching the deep sea gardens, where
the rock lodges are clothed with marine
growths, the diver, retaining a hold on
his rope, dexterously breaks away the
holdfast of the sponges and places them
under his arm until sufficient load has
been cleaned, when. a pull on the rope
signals his companions above that he is
ready to ascend, and he is then hauled
to the surface, bearing his ocean treas
ures.-Exchange. ...

King Of Belgium,s Bodyguard.

:, Under the Belgian constitution the
king'svalet is responsible to parliament
for the safety of the royal person. AT
night, therefore, when the Belgian mon
arch has retired to his "salle cou-
cher, the valet turns the key upon him
and locks himself in the antechamber,
where he himself sleeps, by turning the
key also Of the outer door. If, therefore,
a miscreant had any designs upon the
person of the king, he would first of all
have to force the door Of the antecham-
Der, overcome the armed resistance of
the valet and then unlock the door of
the royal chamber. Tit-Bits.
