Marsh Gas Under Ice.

An interesting chemical experiment..
quite new to me, was performed by
party Of skaters in the neighborhood Of
Baltimore. 1t is possible that it has
been performed before, but have not
yet found any one who has seen or heard
Of it. The skaters were on large artiti-
cial lake upon which remarkably clear
ice had formed. In various places white
spots were noticed in the ice. suggest

through ono of these white places and
applied a flame to the gas, which took
fire. This led TO further experiments.
and It was found that by boring a small
hole long thin jet Of fame could be

time.

Charles Lambs Mot.

A hundred years ago in a quaint old
English inn, located in the heart Of Lon
don, at a table beer stained and aged,
sat two very curious looking characters
playing at cards.
One was rough, unclean, shabby and
much the worse for wear-Martin by
name.
The other, poor in appearance, was,
however, neat, refined and attractive,
one whose genius we admire, whose
wit always refreshes us, and whose
character we love for its unselfishneSa
He was Charles Lamb.
The two men played and played and
played long into the night, and while
beer and something stronger found their
willing course down their ever thirsty
Threats Lamb kept up his accustomed
troadside Of wit.

Luck kept favoring Lamb, when to-

FASTNET LIGHT.
A Welcome Clean To the East Bound At.

The first glimpse of Great Britain
that the American tourist gets on his
European tour is that Of the Fastnet
lighthouse.
1t stands on a rugged and solitary
rock, situated nine miles south Of Crook
- haven, at the extreme southwest corner
of Ireland, and is, perhaps, more storm
beaten than any other around our coast.
The rock is so feet in height, and the
lighthouse towers another 20 feet above,
yet, i'll winter gales, the Atlantic bill
lows literally lombard the massive
structure and have even smashed in a
portion of the lantern at the summit Of
the erection, the seas frequently sweep
ing over the rock with tremendous force.
Some two or three years ago the stormy
weather then prevailing prevented all
communication with the rock for many
weeks, SO that the store Of food was con.
sumed, with the exception Of some -four.
AT last schooner managed to approach
sufficiently near to enable a small guam
tity Of food to be dragged through the
sea by the hungry men, and, fortunate
ly, the next day the sea moderated, and
the stores were once more fully replen-
ished.
Except in very calm weather the Fast
net is surrounded by fringe Of foam.
and the only means of landing is by the
aid of lib" 5S feet in length, so
placed on the rock that, in moderate
weather, its end reaches outside the

Ministering to n Quiet Kentucky Flock.

In pleasant, social little Kentucky
town not long ago new minister arriv-
ed. Fervent in his mission against the
world, the flesh and the evil one and
not duly considering the points Of his
compass, he delivered from his pulpit
the first Sunday ii TRADE against card
playing. On Monday the wealthiest
member Of his flock called on him and
said:
ooh, dear Brother Parker, your ser
mon was very unwise. You will offend
half your people if you talk against
cards. We are Just a little quiet com.
munity all by ourselves here, and we
play cards whenever we want to. Don I
say anything more about card playing |"
So the next Sunday the new preacher
launched ont on dancing, Again the
wealthy member visited him to say that
his church people had always danced all
they wanted to, and he must not say
anything moro against dancing. The
evil Of horse racing was his subject the
following Sunday, and this brought the
rich member to him in great distress of
mind.
"Great goodness, Brother Parker, this
is one Of the finest horse sections in the
state! You are beside yourself when
you try to put down horse racing"
"Well," said the respondent preach
er, "if you say so I'll have to let these
evils alone. Next Sunday I'll abuse the
Jews"
"All right" remarked the wealthy
member, "but don't overlook the fact
that I'm the only jew in your congre-

Deep Sea THERMOMETERS.

The deep sea Thermometer, as iuTen.ed
abroad and improved by officers of the
United States navy, is marvelously in
genious and effective contrivance. 1t is
IN effect self registering instrument,
though not technically SO called. The
thermometer Is SO arranged that it is au.
Dramatically turned upside down when
,he machinery begins to draw it up from
the depth at which the temperature is to
be ascertained. The effect of the invert-
ing process is to break the column of
mercury, and a small portion of the col
umn remains in the upper end Of the
tube exactly enough to measure the TEN.
perature at the moment of Inversion.
The tube is graduated so as to read from
either end, and the quantity of mercury
in the upper part of the tube is SO small
that it does not respond to any but great
md sudden changes of temperature. II
thus happens that the reading, when the
thermometer reaches the surface is prac.
tically correct for the temperature at the
point Of inversion. Kansas City Times.

on the Installment Plan.
One Of the most important men in the
employ of a firm that makes specially
of selling goods on the installment plan
is the tracer. " His duty, as his name
signifies, is to find out the whereabouts
Of delinquent customers, who think to
get out Of the trouble of future pay
ments by quietly moving away and neg,
Letting to leave their new address.
Nothing could be more foolish than
such course, for this is feature OF
the business that the installment houses
have reduced 10 q science. 1t is obvious
that in this city the great majority Of
those who purchase goods on weekly
payments live in flats. This makes il
comparatively easy matter for the deal
ers to keep them under surveillance, foI
one Of the first things the collector does
is to see the janitor and inform him
which families in the house have bought
goods on the installment plan. 1t pays
TO fee the janitor for this service, for lie
is in a position to know when any NOV
ing is about to take place, and the in
formation he gives the collector has
been the means Of nipping in the bud
many well laid scheme to get out O
paying a furniture bill.
Sometimes, Of course, it happens that
dishonest family will move away ip
such hurry that the janitor is unable
to inform the firm in time. In such al
event the "tracer" is put on the case.
He sets about his work with the method
of the trained detective. He is familiar
with the name and address of every fun.
niture never i'll the city, and his ac-
quaintance among the helpers is SO ex-
tensive that it is more than likely he
has "a personal friend among the men
who moved tho family he Is seeking
With such advantages his task is not
nearly so hard as the uninitiated womb
imagine, and there would be fewer at
tempts made to beat" the installment
