This Infinitely Rapid.

A writer in the English Mechanic"
says: A striking illustration OF the ut
ter and absolute incapacity OF the hui
man mind to grasp the concepts of
modern physics may be derived from
q fow moments consideration OF the
dictum of Lord Kelvin at the annual
meeting of the Victoria Institute, where
commenting on Sir George G. Stokes
address on the Roentgen rays, he Is re-
ported to have said that: "If in ordi-
nary visible light there were 100000
000, 100000 of vibrations per second, in
green light they must have 10000, 000,-
000,000,000 OF vibrations of the Roent-
gen rays" Now have just been trying
how many strokes l could make on a
piece of paper per minute, employing a
lead pencil to save the loss of time en-
gagged in dipping a pen into ink, and
find that can easily and comfortably
make 1874 marks in the time specified.
Hence, working absolutely necessarily
day and night, of course, with the trifl-
ing postulate of immortality, it would
seem that could make as many lead
pencil marks on piece of paper in $685.
230 900 years as the light of the Roent-
gen rays perform vibrations in a single
second.

A Careful Father.

Judge Catron is the representative
in congress of the Territory of New
Mexico, and is also the proud father
of two boys. AS a delegate in congress
it is his privilege to nominate cadet
to West Point and one to Annapolis.
Realizing that it is his duty to pro-
vide for his sons in paternal manner,
Judge Catron appointed one of them to
the military academy. In order to
guard against mishaps, and to make
it as certain as such things can be that
the nation might not be deprived OF
the valuable services of the Catron
boys, the father also appointed each
as the alternate of the other; so that
if the nominee to West Point failed OF
admission there would be another
the lad selected for Annapolis should
fail at the naval academy he might
have a chance at West Point IL his
brother did not get in. The examina-
tons at Annapolis are over and one OF
the young Mr.. Catrons was successful
The West Point nominee will not know
his fate until March, and If he fails
then. there will be woe in the Catron
household because there is no other
boy TO nominate. Instances are not
scarce where member of congress
has nominated his son to one of these
academies, but this Is the first on rec.
ord where a member has had the te.
merity to reach for both appointments
Ae New Mexico has but one represen.
tative. Judge Catron has cornered tho
visible supply of cadet nominations fol-
the entire territory Chron.

How German Girls Are Educated.

The course in high school for girls
in Germany covers eight years, and it
may be well to remark that the high"
refers to the character of the school,
and not to the age of the pupils. They
enter it at the age of six, and are
taught the three RS" in the lower
grades, especial stress being placed
"equired to take the same selection
over and over again, until it is known
by heart. At the age OF ten or eleven
they begin the study of French, and at
twelve or younger the study of Eng
lish. Indeed, the most stress seems to
languages. The recitations are con-
Quoted entirely in the language to be
learned. In essays read in the class
in English giving the reasons for the
study of English and French, the chief
reason given was: Without them we
cannot be cultivated young ladies'"
The pupils are well drilled in German
literature and history, and one very
excellent thing is that they are OBJ
liged to commit to memory gem after
gem of German literature. The in
struction in literature and history is
