Freak Reptile.

One of the most interesting creations
of nature is the luminous ccntiped,
curious combination of lizard, snake
and natural electric light plant. 1t is
about IH inches long, it's body being
covered with short hairs. It's body is
very narrow and appears to be in sec
tons. In consequence of this peculiar
formation the creature appears to move
sideways, except when frightened.
Then the natural electric light plant
feature appears, and with an almost
instantaneous wavelike motion, begin
ming ut the tail. the color of the rep.
tile changes from orange to greenish
phosphorescent shade. Then, spark.
ling like tiny streak of green light,
the creature darts away to place OF
refuge. When one of the pair is in
search of its mate the color grows q
bright yellow, but at will the centipcd
can resume it's darker color, and then.
If lying close to the grain Of q piece of
wood, is hardly noticeable.-N. Y. Jour

water. Keep it there a minute or two;
then take the flowers out and sprinkle
1t lightly by the hand with pure water.
Replace the bouquet in the soapsuds,
and the flowers will bloom as fresh as
when first gathered The soapsuds need
to DO changed every third day. BY OBJ
serving these rules a bouquet can be

had been p%rejudged, and the farmers

On the Formation Of Hail.

FOR more than a century it has been
Inc generally accepted opinion among
meteorologists that hailstones are
formed of a succession of c~oncentric lay.
ers OF ice, which have formed around a
nucleus. 1t has also been the general
OPINION that the size Of the Maidstone
depends much on the height from
which it falls, one coming from a great
distance being able to gather a greater
number Of layers of frozen water in its
fall.
M. Sanna-solaro, the French weather
sharp, contests the idea that hailstones
arc go formed. He says the congelation
begins from without, and that the so
called nucleus is the result Of pres
cure. According to this novel theory,
when the external surface begins to
freeze, the air bubbles arc driven TO-.
ward the center and give rise to a pres
sure. under which the crust yields.
sanna.solaro says: "The shock deter
mines the congelation Of a fresh layer,
which is formed Of two distinct parts.
one deprived Of air (and consequently
transparency, the other clouded or
opaque Tin consequence Of the included
air bubbles)."
According to one authority, this phe-
nomenon is reproduced at each success
sive congelation, and if the h~ailstones
reach the ground before the freezing
process has been completed their CEN
tral portions may yet contain air bub-
nles, water Or crystals of ice. Pyramidal
shaped hailstones he ascribes to the &C.
tion of violent congelation, which causes
the contained fluid to split the crust
into three, four or more pieces.
Professor Sanna-Solaro also gives
some good reasons in proof of his state
ment that hailstones arc formed instau-
taneously.-St. Louis. Republic.
