The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1896-02-07

The most powerful sunglass ever con-
structed in France was that made un-
der the supervision of the savant Nj.
de Villette. This glass generated heat
sufficient to melt IL copper coin of the
size Of eur silver % cent piece in ~
seconds.
George Parker of Fleet street, Lon
don, made glass much more powerful
than that which resulted from the
Frenchman's efforts. Parker was three
feet in diameter and so powerful that it
was actually used to melt substances
which were too refractory for the fur
naces The best authorities on heat say
that it had power of 166, S6a degrees
F. This is best understood when it is
known that it only takes temperature
of 2. 7S7 degrees to melt cast iron so that
it will flow like water.-St. Louis Re-
public.

"The Pathwaie of Martial Disci-

full of plates and abounds in quaint re-
marks. Giving the duties Of provost
marshal, we find: "He shall according
to the lawes punish all offenders with
out regard or respect Of persons, and in
the market place shall set up pair Of
gallows, both for the terror of the wick

Before firearms drove out all other
weapons it was an object to equalize
the strength of the company, "the shot"
{as the musketeers came to be called)
supplementing the pixies. All the COM
binations of men for drilling which are
given by various authors illustrate this;
thus for the defense from horsemen:
"Place the ranks of pixies every way.
your shot next unto them, your bills (or
halberds) and ensign in the midst, the
pixies ends couched down the better to
resist the enemy"
All kinds of lodges are taught-thus:
eff in sight of the enemy, which is su-
perior in numbers, the front rank Of
pixies shall spread out so as to admit the
men of the second rank in the open
spaces. But if the enemy manifest a
real intention Of attacking, and there
be no place Of refuge near, the second
rank shall return to their places, and all
shall serrie close together. The shot
shall be placed in the voward and rear
ward SO that they may skirmish and re-
tire as occasion serveth. ."-Gentleman' g

A Remarkable Tree.

There is a wayward white oak tree
near Laporte, Ind, that may we'll puz-
zle naturalists with the vagaries of its
growth The tree is feet in circumfer-
ence at the base, and there are no
branches of any size below 5 feet from
the ground. There the great bole di-
vides into a number of limbs. Rwa,
leaving the trunk about 20 inches apart,
grow west, their lines diverging for some
6 feet, and then each rending toward
the other. Twelve feet from the body of
the tree they unite again, making per-
feet oval, and out of this grow two
smaller branches. AS if not satisfied
with that expressed disregard for the
laws of nature. this old tree has per-
formed another feat. Six feet from its
base grows another white oak, less than
half its size, and no sooner does the
smaller tree arrive at the charmed Cir
cles of those branching limbs than one
of them grows right into it, and is alb
sorbed. The second tree is very much
larger 30 feet from the ground than at
its base.

BUILT THE WRONG WAY.
Why the 0uaker's Chester Hogs Took No
Prizes In Georgia.

Why the Quakers Chester Hogs Took No
Prizes In Georgia.
81 never shall forget an incident
which occurred at the first fair ever
attended in Georgia." said a retired
Cincinnati meat packer. ''It was at
Macon. and think they called it state
fair. At any rate it was big thing for
the town in those days. They had some
fine stock on exhibition, and a Pennsyl-
vanian had sent down about 20 Of the
finest looking hogs you ever saw. They
were mostly Chester Whites, and if I
recollect Alright they were exhibited by
Thomas Wood, great hog and cattle
fancier of 30 and 80 years ago. He it
was who introduced that famous breed
of hogs, the Chester White, and he
made great deal of money out Of his
fancy stock. He was Friend-a Qua
ker, you know-who used the plain Ian
guage and wore a broad brimmed hat.
He was smart old gentleman, honest
and prosperous. He sent his hogs from
state fair to state fair, and they took so
many prizes and blue ribbons that each
hog looked like boy who had spent all
his money making collection OF badges
"When the Macon judges made their
awards, they gave blue ribbons very lib
orally to the razor backs, but not one Of
the Fat, sleek Pennsylvania hogs got
prize. The owner of the exhibit did not
understand it, SO he hunted up one of
the judges and said in the language Of
the Friends'
g i know thee to be an honest man,
and do mot question thy fairness in the
award, but to crafty my own curiosity
I would be glad to have thee tell me
why thee gave all the prizes to the ma
tive stock and what fault thee found in
mine?'
My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly, the judge replied.
They are certainly handsome, and I
have no doubt that in your section they
are the best breed to raise, but they are
not suited for this country. They are SO
short legged and fat that niger could
catch them in two minutes. What we
require in hog in the south is legs and
wind. We give our prizes for speed,' ="
