DIvIsIBILITY OF TIME.
1t is the Quarter Hours that Count
The Suns Movements.

Napoleon, who knew the value OF
time, remarked that it was the quar-
ter hours that won battles. The value
of minutes has often been recognized,
and any person watching railway
clerk handing out tickets and change
during the last few minutes available
must have been struck with how
much could be done in those short
portions OF time, says Good Words.
AT the appointed hour the train
starts and by and by is carrying pas
sengers at the rate of sixty miles an
hour. 1 second you are carried
twenty-nine yards. In one-twenty-
ninth of second you are carried one
yard. Now, one yard is quite an APP
preciable distance, but one-twenty-
ninth of second Isl portion which
cannot be appreciate.
Yet it is when we come to the plan
etary and stella motions that the no.
ton of the infinite divisibility of time
dawns upon us in new light. II
would seem that no portion Of time
however microscopic, is unavailable
Nature can perform prodigies, not
certainly in less than no time, but in
portions of it so minute as to be alto.
gether inconceivable. The earth re.
wolves on her axis in twenty-foul
hours. AT the equator her cireum'
ference is $4,000 miles. Hence il
that part of the earth person is be-
ing carried eastward at the rate o.
500 yards a second. That is, he il
moving over yard, whose length il
conceivable, in the :period of l-5O9tl
part of second, of which we car
have no conception at all.
But more, the orbital motion of the
earth around the sun causes the form
er to perform resolution of nearly
6O0,000,000 miles in year, or some
what less than 10000 miles an hour
which is more than 1000 miles {
minute. Here, then, our second car
ries us the long distance of abou
nineteen miles second. The mighy
ball thus flies about a mile in thu
nineteenth part of second.

Taught the Yankees to Laugh

Discussing the late Oliver Wendell
Holmes, an eminent Frenchman once
said that it was he who taught the
Yankees to laugh. The poets wit was
such as to put every one around him
in the best of humor.
1t was Holmes who said that al
thought it was Eve who tempted man
to eat, he had an idea that she had
nothing to do with his drinking, for
he undoubtedly took to that on his
account. Then the poet removed his
cigar from his lips and remarked:
IL really must not smoke so per-
sistently. l must turn over new
leaf-a tobacco leaf-and have CT
gar only after each"-and as most of
those present imagined he was about
to say "meal," he continued-"aIter
each meal" Leaning back in his
chair he added: ga foreigner is an
alien; foreigner who drinks too
much is an acclaim and why should
not foreigner who smokes too much
be called tobacconalian ?"
When dining with Lord Coleridge,
the subject of lawyers came up, and,
referring to tue American man at the
Bar, Holmes said that the American
lawyer and the wealth of his client
was his glory. On another occasion
Mrs. Siddons was being discussed, and
someone said that the statesman Fox
had been smitten by the great actress.
TO this the poet replied by saying that
from all he had ever heard of her he
could not understand man falling in
love with her. His reason was that
she was so grand that man might
as well fall in love with the pyramids
She might have been loved by the
Worshipful Company Of Coachmak.
ers or Board of Alderman, but il
was beyond the range of possibility
that one man could ever love her.

delegation of Westerners, some one
asked him how he liked it. Like ii ?

Growth of Forest Trees II
America.

Whenever the time shall come that
the raising of timber trees will be
profitable it will be found that tim
Der can be raised much more rapidly
than the public generally believes.
On the grounds of the writer of this
paragraph very large number of
forest trees were planted about TWEEN
ty-tive years ago especially to test
their relative ratios of growth. To-
day black oak (Quercus tinctoria)
was measured two feet from the
ground and found to be 81 feet in cir
conference. Other species of oak
have grown more rapidly than this,
but others have not grown so fast, and
this is taken as.the average growth of
an oak in 20 years. Other trees be-
longing to the elm, maple and poplar
families would make trunks very
much larger than this in the same
time. 1t is safe to say that in Ameri-
ca forest properly planted and cared
for would make magnificent timber
within half century. The oak is by
no means slow grower .-Meehan's
Monthly.

The Influence of Boiling Water


We are accustomed to be told that
the most impure water will be rem
dered pure by boiling, and that in this
we have an absolute safeguard against
the dangers of water containing dis
ease germs. Now while it is true
that boiling will kill the germs of dis
ease, yet the fact has been brought to
our notice, by so high an authority as
DR.. Charles M. Cresson, that, while
boiling kills the germs of a particular
disease, it yet, in reality, renders the
wafer more impure than it was be-
fore, because, by the very death Of
these germs, dead organic matter is
allowed to remain in the water which
it pollutes by putrefaction. Hence,
while boiling is most excellent pre-
caution against the occurance of ty-
phoid fever or similar diseases when
we have occasion to think that the
germs of these diseases that exist in
the water that we drink, yet we must
remember that this boiling does not
purify the water; it simply removes
from it the specific power to produce
a specific disease.-Ex.

Birds That Imprison Their Mates

Among the many curious South
African birds is one called the "buich-
er bird" which has the ghoulish habit
of killing smaller birds, extracting and
eating their brains, aud then impaling
the bodies Of the little victims on the
long thorns of the "wait-a-bit"bushes
The ST. James Gazette tells of another
very curious bird, variety of horn
bill, regarding which paper read by
DR.. Secondhand, at meeting of the
South African Philosophical Society
at Cape Town, gives this account:
R 'eThe nesting habits of this hornbill
are SO extraordinary that they have
been repeatedly referred to by various
writers; but, owing to the difficulty in
finding the nests Of the birds, many
details of the earlier accounts are not
quite correct, while others are not
touched upon at all. During the last
four years DR.. Secondhand has exam
.ined, he said, no fewer than seven
nests altogether, with the birds be-
longing to most of them. The birds
are often seen in winter in large mum
bers in the gardens at Graham's
d Town, but in summer they are only
to be met with in proximity to closely
wooded kloofs, and this is due to the
fact that they nest in places where hol-
low trees are to be found. All OBJ
servers agree that during incubation
the female is prisoner in a kind OF
cage, the entrance of which is closed
TO an extent that it has to be broken
open before the female can leave the
nest. In all the cases he has seen the
nests were built in hollow trees.
"The female, once inside, is fed by
the male through the narrow Slit left
in the material with which the en-.
trance is closed, OF through a natural
cleft in the wood. In the latter case
the main, entrance is closed up com
pletelN This may be precautionary
measure to protect the female during
the season of incubation. He ques'
toned the statement whether the male
built or the female, as Livingstone
stated he had been told by the natives
The female took an essential part il
the plastering up of the entrance.
shaving described the nests which
he had seen, he proceeded to state that
i the female, after going into the nest
usually began to moult, and was some
times almost naked. She was usually
very fat while in her prison, as thu
male brought her food every few min
| utes. AS soon as danger approached
the female bird climed up the nest a
far as possible away from the en-
trance, and kept perfectly quiet unti
the danger had passed. The youns
behaved in the same manner,the bird
relying for protection on the fact tina
the nest is not easily recognized a
such. No doubt, if attacked, tn
a~rnbill could give good account o
itself. The female is imprisoned fol
seven or eight weeks, certainly for no
less than six weeks. The eggs ar
laid about the end of December or tn,
beginning of January, and are usual.
a three or four in number, and vary IL
size. He felt certain from minute oh
servation that the female constructed
her own prison and left it sometim
before the young were fully develop
ed. On her leaving, it was plastere'
up again in the same manner and tn
Mmale helped the male to feed tn
young"
