THE BARBER'S REVENGE.
Tale Of . Talkative TOnsorial Artist
and His GrufH Customer.

A Tale Of Talkative TOnsorial Artist
and His Grun Customer.
As he threw himself back into the
embrace of the cushioned chair Of o
Union square barber shop he scowled
fiercely at the barber and buried his
face in the newspaper. But the barber
didn't mind the ugly opening. He
leaned over, garroted the tonsoria1 pa
tient with towel and painted his face
with lather When he had flipfapped
q razor once or twice along the strop he
began mildly:
"Nice day, SIR"
ooh, is it," answered tho other.
The barber looked startled, but he
tried again.
paper says we're going to have nice
weather now"
"Thanks," was the answer, II know
how to read myself"
At this rebuff the barber kept ST.
lence. But he shaved against the grain,
tweaked tho others nose and daubed
soap into the corner Of his mouth. The
grutf man swore softly, the barber
smiled, and as a final act Of violence
grabbed the other by the top Of the scalp
and twisted his head until the cervical
vertebr@ creaked again.
"Say," cried the gruff man. my
head amt no roulette wheel"
But still the barber shaved on in ST.
lence. He shaved and shaved, scraping
the skin 20 close that it showed ragged
under the blade. Then, leaning over, he
grabbed a handful Of raw and tender
skin and rolled it between his fingers
until the other groaned aloud. As the
tear drops stole down the scarified face
the barber administered the final taunt:
"Do you shave yourself, sir?"
"No," reared the gruff man, leaping
up in the chair, II shave my grand
mother and sisters nieces.
Then he buried his face in the paper
and the barber smiled and smiled and

sore spots ON the victims chin.-New

An Odd WAGER.

A queer wager is the one popularity
believed to have been won by Sir Wal
ter Raleigh from Queen Elizabeth, on
the debatable question Of how much
smoke is contained in pound Of to-
bacco. A pound of the article was
weighed, burned and then weighed in
ashes, and the question was held to be
satisfactorily settled by determining the
weight Of the smoke as exactly that Of
the tobacco before being burned, minus
the ashes. The fact Of the ashes having
received an additional weight by COM
bination with the oxygen of the atmos-
phere was unthought of by Elizabeth
and the knight

Manager Fowler Of the Telephone ex-
change, Ashland, KY, has devised an
ingenious attachment for telephones, to
be used in factories and shops where the
amount Of noise makes it almost impos-
sible to hear the call bell Of the instru-
ment. 1t consists Of steam whistle,
which is turned ON by means Of lever
operated by magnetism. When the in
strument is called from the exchange
the bell rings as usual, and, by the cleo
trical current passing through mag
net, weight is released which pulls
the lever to the whistle. Once started,
the whistle keeps up its shrill note un-
til some one answers the call and turns
of the steam, which is done by simply
replacing the weight. One Of these at
tachments is being placed at the local
steel plant, another at the tannery and
several more will probably be installed
in sawmills and similar establishments.

BACTERIA AND COLORS.
Blue Rays Kill Germs, but Red Does MOI
Much Affect Them,

Much Affect Them.
Although investigation has not been
idle, experimenters have not been Who'll
ly agreed as to the exact property or
| field of tho suns rays which is most eff
ficient in action OH bacteria and fungi.
The inquiry has been continued by
Professor H. Marshall Ward, to whom
the thought occurred in the course Of
his work that the most direct answer to
the question, Which rays are tho most
effective ones? might be best obtained
by shining the solar spectrum directly
upon the film of spores, and making it
record the effects by their subsequent
behavior, according as the different
groups Of rays fell upon them-in other
words, by obtaining photograph Of the
spectrum in living and dead bacteria.
The results showed conclusively that
the rays that kill the bacteria are the
blue and violet ones. An observation
was made during the investigation
which may 60 far to account for the I'M
satisfactory character Of the determine
tions Of former experiments.
The chief difficulty to be overcome
was the great weakening Of the inten-
sity Of the dispersed rays of tho beam Of
light decomposed to form the spectrum,
u weakening caused by the distribu-
ton Of the incidence of the rays over
larger area and by their absorption and
reflection in passing through the lenses
and prisms.
1t was found also, in working with
the electric light, that the power of the
blue and violet rays was further i'm
paired-in other words, that they We're
stopped-by the material (glass) through
which they had to pass.
The effect Of the glass was practically
the same as that Of mist or haze in tho
atmosphere, which so filters out the
blue violet rays that tho light of dull
day was Of little effect in the authors
experiments.
These difficulties were overcome by
using quartz instead Of glass, with
which it was possible to obtain very
pure spectrum sufficiently rich in blue
and violet rays to kill the spores in a
few hours The author found it easy to
obtain satisfactory results in the sum-
mer with solar rays, even with glass
lenses, mirrors, etc., and exposures of
five or six hours, but in winter tho ex-
posures required to be so long as to be
almost impracticable. Popular Science

THE NGBUtkR THEORY.



The finite mind can hardly conceive
Of time when there was neither sun
nor planets, yet both the Bible and sci
encc teach us That such Il state of affairs
once actually existed. We have all read
the Biblical account of creation, and not
few Of us have spent valuable time
reading learned essays on the condition
IF things in the time Of 1.-THE begin
hing" 1t is not the object of this
"notc" to discuss the origin of the sun
nnd the planets from Biblical stand
point, nor do we mean to give resume
Of scientific opinions on the subject. On
the contrary, we shall confine our re-
marks to what is known us the "nebu-
lar hypothesis, or nebular theory Of
the origin Of worlds and suns.
According to the opinion Of the most
learned astronomers, the beginning" is
ushercd in with the existence through
out all space Of an undefinable matter
of substance called "nebula. This neb-
ula was of such wonderful thinness that
it is believed that millions Of miles Of
it could have easily been compressed in
to common thimble. The heavier
portions gradually gathered around
common centers after the lapse Of ages
and formed planets, suns and stars,
the light and heat Of the two latter be-
ing due to tho clashing of their compo-
nent atoms us they gravitate continually
toward the center of the mass.
The nebula origin Of the sun and in
cidentally Of the planets also is thus
finely set forth in Il recent article by q
we'll known British writer: The matter,
or rather the gas which composes our
sun, was once spread cut to the farthest
orbit of tho outermost planets Of our
system-that is, to the planet Neptune.
From the orbit Of Neptune this incon-
ceivably thin mass began to converge,
growing denser and denser and smaller
and smaller as it gradually approached
it's existing dimensions. As it con-
densed, revolving upon its axis, the So
lar mist left behind it at intervals por-
lions of cloudlike matter cast off from
it's equator.
These masses Of gas, undergoing a
similar evolution to that of the sun, or
central mass, have, with great slowness,
hardened into what is now Jupiter, Sat-
urn, the earth and the other planets.
Meanwhile the main central mass, al
ways retreating, eventually formed tho
sun itself, tho present chief luminary Of
our system of worlds. ST. Louis Re-
nuh1ic
