Eminent stammerers.

A great many people do not know
that Moses, the prophet, suffered so
badly that Aaron, his brother, did
most of the talking for him. 1t may also
be balm to some people who stammer
to know that Esop, Virgil and De-
mosthenes were likewise afflicted.
Demosthenes is said to have cured him
self by learning to talk with pebble
in his mouth. Mrs. Inchbold, the ia
nous English actress, was another who
triumphed over a difficulty of speech.
More than one of the French kings have
been stammerers, as were also Claudius
Michael IL, emperor of the east; Ma
homet-c.-Rasser, king of Spain; Eric,
king of Sweden; Admiral Annebant,
Tartagila, the Italian engineer; Boissy
dAnglas, the painter David, the critic
Hoffman, Camille Desmoulcris and a
host of others.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Trnins That Never stop.

The time consumed in making jour-
pey is to a great extent taken up by
stoppages at stations for the purpose of
taking on passengers. An ingenious
system has been devised whereby pas
sengers are taken upon trains or
dropped without halting. The inven-
ton is to be feature of the Paris ex-
position in 1900. The device consists
of movable platform with circular
disc, which travels at the same rate of
speed as the passing train. The in
ventor claims that "when entering the
platform from staircase in the center
there will be no danger, since the speed
at this point is comparatively low, nor
will it be felt much when going toward
the edge of the turning platform, for
the increase of speed is gradual and an
ticipated." In theory this may be very
well, but the practical mind instantly
questions whether ordinary employees
are capable of handling two rapidly
moving bodies with sufficient nicely to
remove the element of danger that is
always present where there is very
high rate of speedy. Y. Ledger.

For many years the greatest source
Of fine-grained stone used in lithog-
raphy has been the quarries at Solen-
hofen in Bavaria. These quarries pos
sess a particular interest, because in
them have been discovered remains of
exceedingly strange and prehistoric an
finals. such as some of the flying rep
tiles that once dwelt in Europe, but have
now disappeared from the earth. The
science of geology has gained much
from these fossils, which, flattened and
compressed, and leaving their impress
sions in the rock, might be ikened to
engravings from natures own hand,
whereby she has handed down to US
pictures of a world whose antiquity ex-
tends far beyond the limits of human
memory or human history. Recently
il has been stated that the Solenhofen
quarries are approaching exhaustion
and that new source of photographic
stone is needed. 1t is gratifying to
know that our own country may supply
the want, excellent stone of the kind
required being found in Tennessee. In
the meantime, in Germany, the posi-
bility of substituting aluminium for
Solenhofen stone is being discussed

The Earliest EngIishmen.

1t is impossible to estimate in cen.
turtles the time that has elapsed since
man appeared in England, but there is
abundant evidence showing that he
dwelt there at time when the river
valleys had not been cut down to any
thing like their present depth, when the
character of the animal life there was
entirely different from what it is to-day,
and when the southern part of the
island was, in places, connected by land
with the continent of Europe. Some
idea of the time that has elapsed may be
gathered from the fact that valleys
some miles in width and of depth OF
100 to $50 feet have been eroded since
the deposit of the earliest beds contain.

Laughter ns a pangerous srmptom.

Laughter rs n Dangerous Symptom.
1t is an ordinarily accepted idea that
laughter and mirth of all sorts are
healthful indications. Insanity ex-
perts, however, take very different
view of these manifestations. Surgeons
and nurses apprehend serious trouble
when patients laugh after grave OPP
crations. Highly organized persons or
those who have experienced sudden and
severe shocks sometimes show a dis
position to laugh heartily. In cases of
this sort no time should be lost in dis
tracing the attention by any and all
possible means. There are several cases
where the mental faculties seemed
about to give way, and probably would
have done so but for the wise precau-
tons of friends, who took immediate
steps to present something entirely
new to the patient and to keep the
thoughts away from the cause of the
shock. In delirium much benefit is
sometimes realized by entertaining the
sufferer with amusing stories or ques-
tons. 1t keeps the mind from running
in one direction and assists nature in
restoring the lost cquilibrium.-N. Y.

4 Cooneratire Effort.

A Minneapolis man once invited a
friend to dine with him, and neglected
to telephone his wife to that effect.
In order to make matters worse, both
host and visitor stopped in at the club
on the way home, and consequently
were late for dinner-very late. The
dilatory husband undertook to explain
his hardness while dinner was being
served and put up rather over
plausible defense in the line of bust
ness complications coming up at the
very last moment before he should have
left the Office. The hostess heard hin
with ominous politeness and then calm
ly said: Perhaps. but you really cam

Iutensity of the sum. RAYS.

1t is estimated that the earth receives
not more than one thousand millionth
part of the total radiation of the suns
rays. If any considerable proportion
of this heat were concentrated upon
the earth it would not only become un-
inhabitable, but become speedily con-
sumed. If the great accumulation of
ice at the north pole were placed at
a point on which this tremendous heat
could be focused it would melt at the
rate of 3OO,0OO,OO0 of miles of solid ice
per second, and the heat is estimated
to generate energy at the rate of about
10000 horsepower to every square foot
of its surface.-N. Y. Ledger.

Why He Thought IL.

Eyes," he said, 81 think the world is

She had just told him that after think
ing it all over she had decided that she
could not be happy as his wife, and
that therefore she wished to break the
engagement. So it was only natural
that he should have been somewhat
piqued. She had really expected him
to break down or threaten to go away
and kill himself.
"And may ask you," she answered
somewhat testify, "to explain your rea
sons for believing that the world is get
ting better?"
For moment he twisted the ring
that she had just handed back to him
held it in such a position as to make i
flash most brightly and then replied:
"This is the first time 1 have evel
had an engagement ring returned with
out fight or protest. Good evening"

studying FIoMcrs ,.ith x-Rnx.

The applications of the X rays to the
study of phenomena invisible without
their aid continually increase in num-
Der. Some of the results are rather
curious than useful, but substantial ad-
ditions to knowledge are being made in
this way. One of the latest scientific
uses found for the rays is in revealing
the inner structure of flowers and fruit
buds. In some respects this is better
method than dissecting for the study of
certain parts of plants.-Youth's Com
