About 8 o'clock last Friday morn
ing the people Of our little town were
startled by the vigorous ringing OF
the fire bell. The cause of the alarm
was small blaze issuing from the
roof OF a house belonging to George
Caraver and occupied by Mrs. Bsuls.
The fire boys were on hand promptly
but the bucket brigade had the fire
under control when the water was
turned on through the fire hose. The
damage consists OF a hole two feet
square in the roof, and the general
demolition OF things inside. Forum
ately no wind was blowing at the
time.

FOREIGN PlCkuPS,

The common measure of road dis
lance IN France is the kilometer, or
LOCO meters. little over three-quarters
of mile.
To keep the 10000 odd miles of tele
graph time in order in Crest britain
and provide for the proper dispatch and
delivery of the millions of messages
that pass over them every month entails
an expenditure of about S1l, e5Q,00o n
year.
Good sponges have steadily grown
dearer of late years, and now the
Cuban instruction cuts off one source
of supply. Since the rebellion so many
OF the fishermen are forced to serve OH
board ship that there are scarcely any
left to so fishing.
In England no physician can legally
give u certificate of the cause of death
unless he has prescribed for the per-
son at least As hours before death.
Without such certificate no undertaken

A Dog Story.

Two dogs belonging to an Iowa mau
disappeared and remained absent for
nine days. On the tenth day the man
was surprised to see the dogs come stag
gering into the house, thin and haggard
looking. Investigation revealed that
neighbor was out hunting, and on the
banks of creek his Dogs began to
whine at a hole in the ground, and
nothing could make them move away
from the spot Satisfied that something
was wrong, the man procured a spade
and began digging, and the dogs assist
ed him. Fully six feet of earth was
taken away, when he came upon the
imprisoned dogs. 1t seems that they
chased rabbit into its burrow, and in
digging after it they threw the dirt
back, thus closing up the hole and pre-
venting their own escape. There they
had lain for nine days, and their sur
yival is wonderful proof of the tenaci'
ty of life in lower animals.

Progress In Modern Athens.

The progress of the modern capital OF
Greece will not astonish American read
ers, but Athens in no way resembles
New York or Chicago, nor is Greece
America. Between the two countries
there is no point Of comparison whatso-
.ver. The Americans, springing from
and connected with powerful European
nation, began their career with all the
advantages and few of the drawbacks OF
civilization. They had only to confront
the physical obstacles to their possession
of the extensive territories which at
tracted and rewarded their enlightened
anergy, and immigration accelerated
the formation of glorious common
wealth. The Greeks, emerging from
ages of debasing serfdom, had no politi-
cal or social or intellectual preparation
for the work Of regeneration. After hav-
ing achieved by dint of desperate efforts
the independence of part only OF their
land and race they had to undergo a
series of revolutions before settling
down into an organized body polite.
Moreover, the belief that the national
unity is not yet complete has tended,
and long may tend, to retard the work
of internal development. Neither these
considerations, nor the fact that the
whole country was scene OF desolatloi
at the close of the war Of independence
must be lost sight of in forming judg
ment as to the progress thus far effect

COLOR IN PLANTS.
The Most Important Coloring Substance
In the World Is ChiorOphylL

In the World Is Chlorophyil
Chlorophyll is perhaps the most inn
portant coloring substance in the world,
for upon this substance depend the char
acteristic activity Of plants, the synthe-
sis of complex compounds from carbon
dioxide and water process, upon which
the existence of all living things is ultl-
mately conditioned. Only in very few
unimportant forms devoid of chlorophyll
can the synthesis Of complex from sim
pie compounds or from the elements be
accomplished The function OF chloro-
phyll may only be comprehended when
its chief physical properties are under
stood. These may be best illustrated
by placing gram of chopped leaves
of grass or geranium in few cubic CEN
timeters of strong alcohol for an hour.
Such solution will be Of bright,
clear green color, and when the vessel
containing it is held in such a manner
that the sunlight is reflected from the
surface of the liquid it will appear blood
red. due to its property Of fuorescence,
that of changing the wave length OF
the rays of light of the violet and OF
the spectrum in such q manner as to
make them coincide with those OF the
red end. 1t is by examination of light
which has passed through solution OF
chlorophyll, however, that the greatest
insight into its physical properties may
be gained. If such a ray of light is pass
ed through a prism and spread out on
screen, it may be seen that there are
several large intervals of dark bands IN
the spectrum. The rays of light which
would have occupied these spaces have
been absorbed by the chlorophyll and
converted into heat and other forms OF
energy. This energy is directly availa-
bic to the protoplasm containing the
chorophyll, and by means of it the syn
thesis of complex substance may be ac'
complished. Science Monthly

A BOY AND A BALLOON

him so that he let go of the string The
rubber balloon fioated upward until 1t
reached the ceiling
The boy howled in dismay, and his
mother dropped her bundles, imagining
that some one had walked on him.
There was the balloon bobbing against
the ceiling.
The boy held up his hands toward 1t
and demanded that it be returned to
him. His mother gathered up her bun
dies and scolded him for being careless.
Then the aisle became blocked with
people who offered suggestions
"Get long fishing pole, F." said one.
"How did it happen?" asked another.
"How long will it stay up thereT
inquired yet another.
A porter came running to find out
what was the matter. A dozen willing
people pointed out the balloon that rested
lightly against the ceiling and was
shifted about by every little movement

Scientists think that death by cleo
tricity or lightning is painless. They
do not know that it is SO. but infer that
it is from these kots:
The nerves communicate the sensa.
tion of pala by their vibrations or
movements, which are at the rate OF 81
feet per second. Electricity moves in
copper wire at the rate of 2S8, 900 miles
per second. Hence it is probable that
strong current of electricity kills man
before his nerves can make him COD
scions of the shock.
Professor TFndall, while lecturing at
the Royal institution, London, acciden-
tally touched with his shoulder the COR
ductor leading from 10 Leyden jars,
charged with electricity. He thus de-
cribes the effect on his body:

The battery was not powerful enoug
to cause death, nor did it cloud Profess
or Tyndall's intellect, while distortin
his vision, but he felt no pain, thong
the shock affected him, because the ner'
Gus agency. by which tho CONSCIOUSNESS
