Caught a Bursting Bubble.

Lord Raylcigh, in n recent lecture at the
Royal institution, gave an explanation of
some of the methods he had recourse to
when endcavoring to become acquainted
with what, on account of rapidity of mo-
ton, would otherwise elude observation.
The most obvious methods of observing
what was going on when changes were
very rapid was, he said, to get an instan-
taneous picture For this purpose the de-
gree of "instantanety' had to be varied
considerably. BY means of the magnesium
flash, produced by blowing powder Of mag
nesium into a flame, brilliant light Of
great Photographic qualities was generated.
Although it occupied about the tenth part
of Il second and was instantaneous enough
for babies and many other objects, it
would not do for all purposes.
The electric spark, however, served for
almost anything that ever happened, as it
could be reduced in duration below one
millionth part of n second, during which
time there were not many things which
could do much. This method might be
turned to excellent account in all kinds Of
observations He had used it himself in
many eases when he did not know III the
least what was going TO be revealed. Many
complicated phenomena moved SO quickly
that it was impossible to know what took
place, but by the light of the flash one
could see what transpired at some particu-
lar moment, and that would often give the
key to the enigma. He himself had photo
graphCd the breaking up of a soap bubble,
a process which occupied between the two
hundredth and three-hundredUh part of II
second

The Electric Light Went Of.

He Is young man of an experimental
turn of mind, and when he discovered a
new kind of electric light bulb he bought
it and stuffed it in his overcoat pocket
He took the pretty girl in the next block
to the thcater that night, and his SGtural
enjoyment of that circumstance ed him
into such forgetfulness that it never
occurred to him to remove the glass bulb
from his pocket. When he remembered it on
their way down Randolph street, he laugh
ingly told her about it, and she looked
scared and said: "Oh, my! Won't it go off,
or something's" And he thought as she
intended him to think:
"What dear little innocent thing she

Now, there wouldn't have been any sto-
ry at all if no hadn't stepped on a shadow
on their way home 1t was at the station
as they were going up the platform, and
he fell heavily on his side. There was a
sharp, muffled report, and the crowd Of
theater goers fell back in horror; then
they rushed to the spot.

the startled girl her name and planned a

By this time the girl was historical, and
the man was madly waving his arms for
some one to help him to his feet. "Oh, go
awayW the girl faltered at the increasing
crowd. at isn't anything but the electric
light" And then they thought she was
surely crazy. The poor young man had to
drag out tho shattered glass bulb and dem
onstrato the cause of the explosion before
the crowd would thin. He isn't so fond Of
experiments as he was.-Chicago Record,

A WILD CHARGE.
The Lone Soldier Dashed Through a Reg
iment UnsCathed.

Some of the most amusing stories are
those which have serious side. An old
Confederate soldier the other day told q
story that is very laughable in these days
of peace. 1t was after John Morgan was
made a general that company was form
ed of some Of his old squadron who had
just returned from Camp Chase, where
for some time they had been imprisoned.
The company had been formed by a man
named Quirk, reckless, daring fellow,
and q stranger to fear. The company went
by the name of Quirk's scouts.
At this time the company was down in
middle Tennessee and was skirmishing
around for fight, when they suddenly
came upon regiment Of Federal cavalry.
In short time the two bodies of soldiers
were standing face to face, and the bullets
were flying thick and fast through the air.
The fight that followed was u desperate
one, and each side seemed determined to
stand its ground. Suddenly, as the fight
was at it's hottest, horse was seen to dash
out Of the Confederate line and start in q
direct line for the Yankee regiment. On
the horses back was man named Eng
lish, who was leaning back in his saddle
and pulling with all his might in a futile
animal was yellow in CDlor, and in run
ming took long and clumsy jumps The
rider finally saw that he could not stop tho
animal, and he made up his mind to make
the best of his situation. He leaned for
ward in his saddle until his head almost
touched his horses neck and his hands
claspcd the bride near the bit. Even the
riders ears seemed pinned back, so gree
4. 4 Ill
possible His face was as pale as death.
On went the animal toward the regiment,
turning neither to the right nor left, and
closer and closer did the rider keep to the
animals body.
The Yankees saw the horse with its rider
making straight for them, and they were
seized with CONSERVATION. Some of the
soldiers ceased firing and looked excitedly
at the maddcned animal flying toward
them. In n short while he reached the regi-
ment, but did not stop The Fcderals a.
most fell upon each other in their efforts
to get away from the horses heels, and
regular panic followed. The animal went
plunging through the center of the rcgi-
ment, foaming at the mouth, and with
head down. The horse and rider dashed
on through the entire regiment, and the
Yankees kept making way for them all
down the entire line. Not a shot was fired
until he had gotten out Of range, and then
nearly half the regiment, who had man
aged to recover themselves from their as
constituent, fired at a cloud of dust rising
in the air, but the horse and rider were at
a safe distance.
The horse made a complete circle, re-
turning to the Confederate company in
safety. When the rebels saw their COM
radc had returned without q scratch from
such dangerous ride, they almost forgot
the fight before them, ard there went upa
great cheer.-Louisville Courier journal.

NAPOLEON at MontebeIIo.

Not far from Milan, on n gentle rise,
stands the famous villa or country seat,
of Montebello. Its windows command a
scene of rare beauty. On one side in the
distance the mighty Alps, with their peaks
of never melting ice and snow. On the
other three the almost vOluptuous beauty
of the fertile plains, while in the neal
foreground lies the great capital Of LON
hardy, with its splendid industries, its
stores of art and its crowded spires hoary
with antiquity. Within easy reach are the
exquisite scenes of an enchanted region
that of the Italian lakes. To this lOrdly
residence Bonaparte withdrew. His sum
mer's task was to be the pacificatiOn of
Europe and the consolidation of his own
power in Italy, in France and northward
beyond the Alps. The two objects went
hand in hand. From Austria, from Rome,
from Naples, from Turin, from Parma,
from Switzerland and even from the minor
German municipalities whose fate hung on
the Encouragement of German lands to be
made at the congress of the empire, agents
of every kind, both military and diplomat
ic both secret and accredited, flocked to
the seat of power. Expresses came and
went in all directions, while humble suit
ors We'd with one another in homage to
the risen sun.-Professor W. NJ. Sloane in

A SURPRISED FOX.
He Didn't Know That Cranes Were Both
Fighters and Runners.

anu ANuhntTbs
A long, lean crane stood motionless in
the big cover down on the flats late one
spring afternoon Watching for fish or
frog to come within reach of his pointed,
heavy bill. A cold wind was blowing
and ruffled up the birds feathers in q way
to make him SILVER. A brown bird started
to fly past the still figure, then there was
quick jerk and the brown bird disap-
peared. The thin crane looked as though
he felt better. After u bit he waded to the
shore and stood on the bank looking into
the water as if for fish or frog
AS the sun was shining red for a mo-
ment through crack in the clouds fox,
sleek in winter fur, came into view from
up the creek, looking here and there for
mouse or better game. He had started
early that day, probably in the hope that
he might capture bird. He stalled
crow, unsuGcessfully flushed two or three
brown birds, snealled up wind at u wood
chuck and got little mole. Then he saw
the cranes back and neck over the bank
and straightway dropped back on to hi
launches to calculate u bit. He worked
his way toward the crane so slowly as not
to be noticed till within ten feet of the
bird, when the birds head came around
with startled suddenness. The fox stop
ped, and the crane looked indignant. The
fox took two steps nearer, and the crane
bristled up his neck feathers and drew his
head back as if to strike. Then the fox
saw that the crane would fight. If any
thing can tickle fox, it is to have bird
stand fight
The fox took two Jumps lightly for
rI thpp out Z, VI, n,
had struck at his eye and ripped his cheek
bare. He grabbed the crane by the leg,
and then, like II pug dog pulling a string
tied ball, ran around in a circle, tripping
the crane up. The crane screamed and
gave the fox Il glancing blow behind the
shoulder, driving the fox away yard and
gaining time to get on his legs again.
Then the fox came at the crane, and
once more the crane struck at the fox's
eye, this time successfully, for the point
of the bill picked the cycball open. The
fox skunk back and started to run, while
the crane, with six foot strides and half
spread wings, set after him. Then came
n race fit to make a woodsman howl The
cranes head stucl; out straight before his
body, while his long pipe stem legs stretch
ed out fore and aft alternately, twisting
around each other as the fox turned sharp
corners, with his tail Rugged close ears
laid back and mouth open. Foxes are cred
tied with being CREASED lightning runners,
but the crane made this fox hump himself
to keep out Of the way
AT last the fox went under wire fence,
turning sharp to do it. The crane struck
at him, not noticing the wire, and the
cranes neck struck on the wire while the

Bonaparte's Gentler Side.

These purposes made BOnapartC at once
the most gentle and cOnCiliatOry of men in
some directions; in others they developed
and hardened his impGriOusncss. His cor
.rcspondenco mirrors both his mildncss and
his arbitrariness. Every letter to the di-
rectory abounds in praise of his officers
and men, accompanied by demands for the
promotion of those who had performed dis
tinguishcd services Writing to General
Clarke on Nov. 10, 1896, from Verona, he
says, in words full of pathos: "YOur neph-
ew Elliot was killed on the battlefield of
Arcole. This youth had made himself ia
miliar with arms. Several times he had
marched at the head of columns. He
would one day have been an estimable Off
Ger He died with glory in the face of the
foe; he did not suffer fora moment What
reasonable man would not envy such a
death? Who is he that in the yicissitudes
of life would not agree to leave in such u
way world so often worthy of contempt?
What one of us has not Il hundred times
regretted that he could not thus be with
drawn from the powerful effects of calum-
ny, of envy and of all the hateful passions
that seem almost entirely to control hui
man conduct?'
Perhaps these few words to the widow
of one of his late generals are even finer:
"Muiron died at my side on the battlefield
of Arcole. You have lost husband that
was dear to you; l, q friend to whom l
have long been attached, but the country
loses more than us both in the death Of an
officer distinguished no less by his talents
than by his rare courage If | can DO of
service in anything to you or his child, l
pray you count altogether upon me-"
That was all, but it was enough. With
the ripcning of character and under the
responsibilities of life, the long sought for
style had come at last 1t is martial and
terse almost to affcctation, defying trans
