A Peculiar Beuuest.

A Christiania newspaper, which does
not give itself up to the comic element,
relates that Danish lawyer named Mix
olson bequeathed the whole of his prop
erty to trustees to be employed in the pur-
chase of bicycles for the use of children
attending school, and part of the money
is to go toward paying a teacher to train
the boys in bicycle riding. The validity
of the will has been disputed by the sons
of the testator, who refuse to acknowledge
it, so that it is still question Of doubt
whether the children will reap the benefit
of the strange bequest That the testator
was sincere enough. and that he recog-
nized in the wheel untold blessings which
might have escaped the observation of
minds of less acumen, the concluding por-
ton of the will should go to prove. Tt
says:
II have always found bicycle capital
protection against the importantly Of
those people who persist in stopping you
in your walk TO spin a long yarn in the
hot sun Or in the biting east wind. My
machine, unlike horse, never SHE'D once,
and in my drives have had no need to
intrust life and limb to the tender mercies
Of coachuan."

Fireproof Lumber.

A Chicago man has invented chemical
solution by which he claims that wood
can be rendered freproof. If saturated in
this solution, he maintains that it is ina
possible for a piece of lumber to burn,
even if it should be soaked in coal oil.
The wood or in1ammable material of
which houses are constructed is first i'm
mersed in the solution of chemicals for a
period of "a hours. The lumber is thus
claimed to be freproof and will burn no
more than piece of iron or stone. By
means of the chemicals the wood becomes
SO dense that heat will decompose it by
charming only, but will not cause any
flame. The substance produces an inert
gas, which prevents combustion. By this
scientific process of making wood nonin-
fammable the inventor believes that
thousands of fires may be prevented. He
also thinks that after the invention is
thoroughly known many railroad coaches
will be built of wood so prepared. South

DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAN.
New Yorlz's Tenements the Result of Igno

New York's Tenements the Result of Igno-
rance of Scientific Planning.
The greatest evil which ever befell New
York city was the division of the blocks
into lots of IS by 100 feet. So true is this
that no other disaster can for moment
be compared with it. Fires, pestilence and
financial troubles are as nothing in COM
parison, for from this division has arisen
the New York system of tenement houses,
the worst curse which ever afflicted any
community.
The fact that so much of the land is
held in such parcels is our misfortune, but
the obstacle is not insuperable, as shown
by our office buildings. The difficulty has
arisen and persistently fourishes owing
entirely to our lack Of knowledge of the
art of scientific planning, for who would
waste money in erecting unnecessary
walls, halls, etc., If he knew how to OBJ
tain the same amount of rentable space
much better lighted without themp
By the present system the ground is en-
numbered, the light INSTRUCTED and the
structure rendered unhealthy and unfit to
live in, and all this is accomplished at a
vastly increased expense over what the
same rentable space, we'll lighted, might
be obtained for. Great sums of money
are yearly squandered upon making the
structures unfit to live in.
Then other great sums are contributed
by charitable people to relieve the distress
which these horrible structures engender.
Hospitals are kept full, children die, mis-
cry, disease and crime flourish, because
the people are huddled together without
light and air, and all this happens simply
because the principles of economical plan
ming are not understood. -Scribners

MARvEls OF THE SUN DESCRIBED.
some Idea of the Distance to That Source
of Light and Life,

OA 1-A5AAO dnu Alt0s
M. Camille illumination has an attract
i've method of communicating scientific
facts, and in an article in recent issue
of Science Siftings he gives a characteris-
tic description of the marvels of the sun.
The celestial body, he tells us, weighs
1924, 900 times the weight of our globe and
is 1, a83, coo times the size of our earth.
To form an idea of the superiority of the
greatness of the sun over the earth we can
represent the sun by sphere of 20 meters
larger than the Pantheon of Paris-and
place beside it to represent the earth toy
balloon of 20 centimeters in diameter.
The real dimensions of the sun are con-
cluded from its apparent dimensions COM
bined with its distance. Six different
methods of measurement prove that if the
entire earth were transported to the same
distance as the sun it would be seen at an
angle of 1894 degrees-that is to say, at a
distance equal to II, 693 times the diameter
of our globe, or, in other words, 149, 000,-
900 Of kilometers. The only way of ap-
preciating such distance is to measure
1t by the time a train would take to tray
erse it. Suppose, for instance an ex-
press train going at 80 kilometers an hour
set out to reach the sun, the duration Of
the journey would be 149, 900, 900 minutes,
or 2, 4S3, S33 hours, or 1903, 472 days, or 1888
years. II set off at once, such train
would reach the sun in the year 2177.
But an express train travels at relative
ly slow rate of speed.
Sensation, which is rapid, almost in
Simultaneous, travels at the rate of % me-
tiers per second. If child asked for the
sun, as they sometimes do for the moon,
and his nurse gave it to him, and he had
arms long enough to reach the sun, SO that
it burnt his fingers he would never feel this
burn. The child would become an old
man and die long before the sensation of
burning could pass from the tips of his
fingers to his brain, for the time requisite
for the transmission of this sensation
would not be less than 1853 years.

Ancient Bridge sunerstition.

A primitive notion existed among the
Romans and other races that bridge was
an offense and injury to the river god, as
it saved people from being drowned while
fording or swimming across and robbed
the deity of certain number of victims
which were his due. For many centuries
in Rome propitiatory offerings of human
victims were made every year to the Tiber.
Men and women were drowned by being
bound and flung from the wooden Sub
lician bridge, which, till nearly the end
of the republican period, was the one and
only bridge across the Tiber in Rome
