Some Mysteries of Matter.

The effects of hardening, tempering

doubtless for several thousand years,
have only recently been partially lifted
out Of the mysterious class by re.
searches of a like nature to the pre-
ceding. There are many other mys-
teries Of an analogous kind waiting
to be cleared up. We should like to
know. for example, what is going on
month after month in a hardened steel
armor-piercing projectile which fire.
quently leads finally to a violent dis.
ruptive explosion of the mass, and also
what causes u sword to lose temper by

Drunken Hens.

A story of shocking d~epravity on the
part of poultry is told by the London
Weekly Dispatch. 1t seems that a Mr..
Laggan appeared in court and claimed
so pounds damages from a local dis
tillcry company for injury done his
hens "by the said company having al
lowed intoxicating materials to flow
into the Laggan burn" Mr.. LaeRan
stated that for some years past he had
been making a considerable income
from keeping poultry, but since the
starting of the distillery he had made
little or nothing. His hens and ducks
would not eat. They were, he might
say. almost always more or less under
the influence Of drink, except Sundays,
when the distillery was not working.
On Sundays their condition was pitiable
in the extreme. Monday was their
worst day, for then the hens drank cx-
cessively, fell into the burn frequently,
and lately he had been obliged to keen
a boy 10 Look after them on Mondoy
mornings. Their conduct on shore was
generally reprehensible. and the ducks
were no better than the hens. Sheriff
Mactasish declared that tho case was
80 peculiar that he should have to
postpone his decision.

Internal Heat Of tho Earth.

1t is found from observations made
in very deep borings that the aver
age increase of temperature for a long
way down towards the center of the
earth is about M degree for every
"a feet Of descent. This is not con-
slant, however, being less down to a
certain depth and more beyond It.
The increase varies in amount, too,
in different localities. These results
are quite in agreement with the sup
position that the center of the earth
consists of matter in a state Of fu-
sion; the nearer we get to this molten
matter the faster should the tempera-
ture rise, and the rate may also be ex-
pected to vary on account of the crust
not being all of the same thickness,
nor consisting of material equal in
conducting power.

They Will Know the Rest.

Tennessee members of congress have
lots of gratitude for Speaker Reed on
account of the treatment he has &C.
corded them in centennial exposition
matters. Since the appropriation for
that was granted Congressman Wash
ington has been to the speaker about
a claim from his district. The most re-
cent interview credits Mr.. Reed with
some knowledge of modern sentimental
songs. The claim Mr.. Washington
wants to get through is for 500, 900,
and is by the Methodist publishing
house Of Nashville. Their building was
destroyed by troops during the wal.
Mr.. Reeds policy against mortgaging
the next administration with large ap-
preparations is we'll known. MI. Wash
fngton had pleaded several times for
recognition in vain, and the speaker
had listened attentively. Finally Mr..
Washington said:
"Mr. Speaker. what can I tell nv
constituents to show that I am doing
something in their behalf?"
The speaker looked at the genial
Tennessean member for a moment and
drawled: Joseph, just tell them that
you saw me."-Washington Post.
