FOR HIGH AIR SOUNDINGS.

A Frenchman Has Invented Balloon fol-
Making Meteorological Observations.
The employment of free balloons fol
meteorological observations at very
great heights has long been discussed,
but hitherto with little practical result
because rs yet no balloon suitable fol
this purpose has been devised. NJ. CHI
Renard, French scientist, however
has just presented to the Paris academy
design for such a balloon which prom.
ises to be a success.
His proposed miniature vessel fol
sounding the atmosphere. according to
the New York Herald. is supplied with
a very light self-recording barometer
and self-recording thermometer, partly
made of aluminium, each weighing less
than five pounds. To prevent derange'
ment Of the registering apparatus upor
the fall of the balloon he provides each
instrument with an elastic guard &c
effective that the clockwork of the in
strument is not interrupted by the
shock of the fall. The total weight
instruments included. does not exceed
twenty-one pounds avoirdupois.
If found to work satisfactorily thia
simple and apparently cheap device
will mark'a new era in meteorology Al
present meteorologists know but little
more by direct instrumental gauging Of
the upper atmosphere than the fauna
inhabiting the floor of the Atlantic
know Of the gulf stream and its asso
ciate surface currents.

New York Tribune: The miniature
prsyer-books and other toy volumes in
which our great-grandmothers delight
ed have returned TO favor. Some of
the new prayer books measure two
and half by one and three-quarters
inches. Nevertheless the portions OF
the service most used are printed in
what is known as agate type and are
readily read without a glass. These
dainty little books are usually bound
in white morocco, tipped with gold
and silver, and cost Sill upward. They
are sometimes suspended from chain
attached to finger ring, so that they
may be carried in this way. The little
dictionary, which contains twenty
thousand words, is even timer than
the prayer-book. Its print can only
be read by magnifying-glass. which
is conveniently framed in the cover
It measures three-quarters of an inch
by one and ene-eighth. The glass mag
mites the type until it is about the
same size as the ordinary nonpareil
type of q newspaper.

Civil Marriage In Hungary.

The ecclesiastical struggle in Hunga-
~ precipitated by Premier Wekerle is
beginning to attract attention all over
Europe. The premier is endeavoring to
force the passage Of a bill making q
civil marriage sufficient in law, and the
bishops are united in opposing him.
The latter have issued manifestoes pro-
testing against the proposed law
on the ground that it is con-
trary to the law of God, and they
have called upon the representa-
tives, whose official acts they are SUI D
posed to greatly influence if not con-
troll, to vote against the measure. The
fate Of the bill is uncertain. 1t will
doubtless be passed by the lower
branch Of the legislature, but may be
defeated by the upper branch. This
struggle has called attention to the fact
that in all other continental countries
the civil marriage is recognized as le-
gal, and that in France, where the
church fought SO bitterly to preserve
all of Its rights and privileges. the civil
marriage is now the only legal one, the
religious ceremony being regarded only
~ profession of faith.

WROTH MONEY.



A Druidical Custom That II StIn OBJ
served in Wsrwlckshire.
History books confidently assert that
the Druids have long ceased to exist In
England. Doubt is thrown ON this
assertion by quaint custom held in
the stormy dawn Of q recent morning
around the remnants Of British tu-
mulus which exists at Knightlow in
Warwickshire, where the duke Of Buc-
cleuch, as lord of the Hundred, exacted
payment Of certain tributes which date
from the misty times of our Druidical
ancestors.
The duke did not himself appear in
the character of Druid to collect the
dues. but was represented by his agent.
Payment is made by twenty-eight par
ishes of the old Hundred of Knightlow,
the tax being called "wroth silver:
What it was instituted for no body
knows, and nobody knows exactly why
it was maintained. It only produces
about nine shillings, but If any parish
neglects to pay the duke has the right
to exact from it white bull, with rec
nose and ears. The representatives o.
the different parishes must assemble a
the tumulus before or on November II
march thrice around hollow stone
saying: 1.-THE wroth money" and de
post the tribute in the cavity, from
which the dukes representative gather
1t up. says the London Telegraph.
A philologer after the school Of Dear
Cw;ft,s ssC,raeL and Latin derived from
English" might explain the meaning o.
the name by saying that the parishe!
were "wroth" at having to pay it; but
this etymology is at once nullified BY
the fact that inhabitants of the Hun
bred who care to get out Of bed so early
are entertained in q neighboring hos
telry by his grace at substantial
breakfast, costing twenty times more
than they pay in "wroth money" 1t j,

past with nineteenth century civiliza

DEFENSE OF THE PEACOCK.
II II Not True, ~ Said, That His Feet Ar

II II Not True, - Said, That His Feet Are
Ugly-How He Courts.
"Who says the peacock has ugly feet?'
remarked Taxidermist Wood, of the
Smithsonian institution, to Washing
ton Star reporter. 81 have heard and
read that piece of nonsense ever since ]
was a child, and understand that it is
recorded as an pathological truth in
classic Greek and Latin. You will come
across mention Of it even in fables. To
my mind it affords an-illustration OF
the fact that most people never use
their own physical senses actively but
depend for their notion of life and
things upon the observations of others.
II have just finished mounting this
pair of peacocks. Isn't the male bird q
beauty? You can see for yourself that
his feet are decidedly pretty and well
shaped and rather small in proportion
to his size. They are very slightly big
ger than those of a turkey and are de-
cidedly handsomer. The same can be
said of the hen bird, inattractive though
the latter is in other points. Wherever
In the feathered kingdom the cock bird
is the handsomer he does the counting,
while in the comparatively unusual
case where the female is more gorgeous
abe it is that takes initiative in the
love making.
ut is . curious thing to observe that
the male peacock in counting his chosen
mate approaches her not with the
brightly colored face of his fcathery
fan toward her but backward. Then,
on coming close, he wheels suddenly
about with every plume trembling in
the sunlight and dazzles her all at once
with his beauty. As for the popular
misconception respecting his feet, there
can be no doubt as to how it originated.
When the peacock is pointed at. being
naturally = wild bird, he is apt to drop
his fan and scuttle away. Thus the
impression was conveyed to the ignor.
ant that he imagined his feet 10 be OBJ.
jects of attention and accordingly
sought to hide them. Ofcourse nothing
could be more absurd"

at the start. If seven are playing, each
gets seven, the three cards left over be-

cards to play with, making the best
hand possible out of those dealt him.
