Theories Of the Jack-o,.lanterns.

The scientists have put forward theo-
ries to account for the appearance OF
the will-o'-the-wisp, or JACKIE lantern
lights. One of these is that they are due
to phosphureted hydrogen gas, which
possesses the peculiar power Of sponta-
neous ignition on coming in contact with
dry atmospheric air. This gas could be
easily generated by the decomposition
OF animal matter in marshy soil, and it
would be especially liable to cause the
appearance Of phantom lights" il it
should become mixed with the gas
from decaying roots, etc. Jack-o'- Ian
terms of this variety generally recede on
being approached, and travel with
great rapidity.
The second theory is that such lights
are due to light carbureted hydrogen
gas, such as might arise from decayine
| grass. leaves, etc.
While these theories have been ad
| vanced they have never been proved tt
be correct; neither has the moving
| away phenomenon when approached OF
that of their spontaneous ignition evel
been explained. The chemist and ex
perimenters in general are unanimou
in the conclusion that JACKIE LANTERNS
cannot be artificially produced. Othe
names for this light are friar's lantern
grave light and FOOLS fire.-St. Loui

Beauty of the Creole Women.


GAS You see his face" writes Ruth
McEnery Stuart in an article on the
creoles, "a People Who Live Amid Ro.
NANCE" i'll The Ladies' Home Journal,
''you will know that he-the creole
husband or father-realizes that no
flower upon the lily covered altar is
half SO fair or so fit for the temples
perfect adjoining as his blooming wife
and budding daughters. who sit in line
beside him. Il he does not think these
things, he is q dullard-or, maybe, only
half creole. Perhaps his mother was IN
American or Scotch. And then? Per-
haps he would not think them because
they might not be true. They would be
other things, other things just as fine
and good no Doubt ey might even
have rare beauty Of a different type
but the creole woman is flower. She
is magnolia or a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ly camellia, or. especially when
there is good warm drop Of Spanish
blood in her veins, she is red, red rose
"a rose too sweet to pass untouched
but for her perfect dignity and a piquant
hauteur that is as protective as any
thorn upon roses stem.
Properly speaking, or. rather, mar
rowly speaking, the creole is an Amer
lean, born of French or Spanish parents
or of both, and strictly both parents
should themselves be foreign born, but
the creole is often only the great-great-
grandson Of a creole, and some of their
families of purest blood could not reach
the mother country without going back
through three CT four American born
generations,
