heat the mare led again to the head of the
chances and The Monk won by length.
In the next The Monk won by four lengths

The invisible radiations from q heated
body possess the power Of effecting Ger
tain chemical decompositions much after
the manner Of lights, as, for instance,
in photography. Among the substances
sensitive to weak radiations of heat may
be mentioned paper saturated with Gu
pric bromide, or q mixture of sulphate
Of copper and potassium bromide, which
has n faint greenish tint that becomes
olive brown in radiant heat, and, IL
green is used, q brown image can be OBJ
tanned in minute by exposing to the
radiations from q gas stove, and on
treatment with silver nitrate this image
becomes black by reason Of the reduction
Of the silver. Bichromated paper is A.
fected by radiant heat, as By light, and
paper impregnated simply with sulphate
Of copper yields feeble image, which
becomes nearly black when treated with
silver nitrate. A mixture Of sulphate q
copper and oxalic acid gives q paper
which becomes brown on exposure.
Chlorate Of copper is also very sensitive,
the faint blue color becoming . deep
green. Similarly used bromide Of tin
behaves as II exposed to light, but tdnex-
posed parts become very black when
treated with silver nitrate. Nitrate a

FIRE ALARM BOXES.

Tho Mechanism That Summons Help In
Case Of Fire.
Charles T. Hill contributes an article
entitled IAN Alarm of Fire by Tele-
graph" to st. Nicholas, describing the
fire alarm system Of New York. Con-
corning the fire alarm boxes Mr.. Hill
writes: This boz forms part Of lamp
post, the post being 30 constructed that
the box is inserted in the middle. The
box is painted bright red, and the
lamp at night shows red light, thus
making it easily discernible either By
day or night. Tho wires from the box
are conveyed down through the center
OF the post to conduits buried in the
street and thence on to IRE headquarters.
White letters on q red pane of glass,
in the lamp over the box, give directions
how to send an alarm. The same. direc-
tions in raised letters are found on the
face Of the box. If We turn the large
brass handle ON the outside as far as it
will go. loud gong will ring inside.
This is not the alarm, but simply q
warning bell to notify the policeman on

find inside another door, with q slot at

this hook once and releasing it we set

When the first officer arriving at a

On the occasion a one Of Bishop'
Cones visits to England he was invited
10 spend few days in one Of the historic
rectories Of rural England and was ex.
pected to preach in the parish church
On the intervening Sunday. He carried
with him . small red bag, which con-
tained the smaller accessories Il q 9eu-
tlaman's toilet In the excitement a
meeting his friends ct the station the
beg was forgotten, mot being missed un-
til he arrived at the rectmy. BY this
time the train was miles sway, and the
good bishop was in q quandary a. to
what he should do. as the hamlet was
too small to supply such deficiencies.
His friends provided for his immediate
wants and assured him that he would
have no trouble in securing the truant
beg, as the railway system Of looking
up lost parcels was so very pmfect.
In this instance these hopes proved,
however, fallacious, as the bag was -
elusive as the pot Of gold our childhood
believed to have been at the end Of the
rainbow. kilograms were dispatched
and letters sent, but the bag had always
just gone when they were received.
Like Evangeline's lover, as soon as it
was heard from, it had just moved on to
fresh obscurity. Finally the bishop
dismissed it from his mind and in due
time returned to America.
One day during the following summer
an express wagon drove up to the bish-
ops house, when, eurekai there was the
long lost little red bag, its contents in
perfect order. It had come ON its long
journey with only little tag attached,
simply addressed to Bishop Coke, Del.
aware avenue, Buffalo, New York,
United States Of America. "-George
