Japanese Secret Revealed.

The japanese have reputation
which is worthy the admiration of all
other nations for the skill displayed in
the manufacture of decorative articles
and the beauty of the material used.
Lately the secret of some of their COM
positions of alloy has been revealed.
Sinchu, the finest japanese brass, con-
sists of ten parts of copper and five of
zinc. The splendid hues of shadko, an
other beautiful alloy, are impaired by
treatment with acids. 1t is formed by
mixing gold and copper, the proportion
of gold to the entire mass varying from
one to ten per cent.

You ought to have seen how much
the chickens and goslings enjoyed this

the pan too large. A space of ~ inches
below the pail and the outside of the
pan is sufficient. This allows plenty
of room for drinking, but the young
birds cannot get into the water and foul
it. Care should be taken to have the

SOUND OF THUNDER.
Distance at which 1t May Be HearG
kt Rarely Exceeds Ten Miles.

kt Rarely Exceeds Ten Miles.
In connection with the proposal to
establishsa number of government sta
tions for reporting the phenomena, of
thunderstorms it is stated that while
lightning may be seen and its illumina-
tion of clouds and mist may be recog-
nized when it is even 200 miles distant,
thunder is rarely audible ten miles.
The thunder from very distant storms,
therefore, seldom reaches the ear.
Hence, if every thunderstorm has to be
recorded large number of stations
will be needed; probably one for every
25 square miles would not be too many.
A few stations would suffice, at least
for the night time, for the reporting Of
the direction and movement of every
case of distant lightning. ..
The reason of the great uncertainty
in the audibility of thunder is not hard
to understand. 1t depends not merely
on the initial intensity of the crash, but
quite as much on the surroundings of
the observer, even as in the quiet coun-
try one will observe feeble sounds that
escape the ear in a noisy city. Perhaps
the most curious and important condi-
ton of audibility is that the thunder
wave of sound shall not be, ,refracted or
reflected by the layers of warm or cold
air between the observer and the light
ming or by the layers of wind, swift
above and slow below, so as to entirely
pass over or around the observer.
Sound in its wavelike progress OBJ
liquely through layers of air of differ.
ent densities is subject to refraction
and this refracticL may occur al any
time and place. Thus observers at the
topmast of ship frequently hear fog
whistles that are inaudible at sea level;
those on hilltops hear thunder thai
cannot be heard in the valley; those il
front of an obstacle hear sounds in
audible to those behind it,

IN THE NAME OF LUTHER.
Branch of the Luther League at
ST PnuIss Church.

The first steps in the formation Of a
branch of the Luther League among the
young people Of ST. Paurs Lutheran
church were taken last night, and a num-
Der of the congregation were enrolled as
members.
The meeting was held especially for the
purpose Of taking initiatory measures in
founding the league. Rev. M. J. Epting
presided In an explanatory address he
stated the object of the meeting and dis
cussed the advantages that will accrue
from such an organization. The young
people of his church, he said, are in need
OF such a league to unite them and bring
them in closer touch with certain phazes
of church work. Many congregations, he
said, are neglectful of some departments
of their work that are vastly necessary,
and St. Paul's, in common with these other
congregations, showed this neglect, but
TO no greater extent 1t is proposed he
said, for the organization to seek the high
est good of the young people spiritually,
morally, socially and Intellectually. 1t Is
intended that meetings be held in the
church for the promotion of the spiritual
welfare of the members of the league, and
at other places for the requirement of
the social and intellectual Improvement
that follows the intermingiing of people
of refinement and culture. These latter
meetings 1t is proposed to make as in
teresting as possible and it Is believed
that they Will prove a profitable feature
of the leagues work, as the intellectual
advancement Of the members Will be
sought by making the meetings of lit
eTary character.
Mr. Eptng asked the cooperation of the
young people in the formation of the
league. He said he had never found such
cooperation lacking, when asked of the
congregation as a whole, for he had al
ways known it as one in unanimity and
the desire for the good of the church.
Several young gentlemen were requested
to secure the names. Of all present who
were willing to form the new organization.
This was done and a large number was
enrolled These were divided under three
heads of membership-active, associate
and honorary.
Mr. Epting suggested that a meeting to
perfect the organization be held after
prayer meeting next Wednesday, which
was agreed to.
Mr. ]. T. Clark acted as temporary pres
ident and Mr.. Spring as secretary.
Mr. Eptng read the articles of a con-
sutution he had drafted, in which 1t was
provided that the league is not to be an
Independent organization, but is to work
under the direction of the church's coun-
Gil
After the reading of the proposed consti-
tuition action was deferred until the next
meeting.

than the stories of the Arabian Nights.
In forty years our own country has in
creased it's wealth nine times; in twenty
it more than doubled it. Our sec
ton has not been exempted from this
prosperity. The tax books snow that thir-
ty years ago property was given in by the
few large holders, now by great numbers
of small owners. AS a result of invention
and improved methods of business the
laboring man of the present day uses,
what were luxuries to princes a hundred
years ago, as the necessities of life.
This is only what should be expected.
Our civilization is for the common man;
the civilizations of the past magnifed the
privileged. Our civilization, on the other
hand, is based on the advancement of the
plain people. Its Inventions, methods in
stitutions look to the elevation of labor,
the development of the masses Schools
are open to all the people; books of the
best are accessible to any aspiring per-
son; through Chautauqua courses and
university extension the cream of culture
is in reach of the humbest.
Let US then give no encourag cement to
complaining; let us thank God for what
we have; let US have a hand ready to per-
feet our civilization, but let US silence by
our precept and example the croaker and
the pesSimist."

The Public Schools TO Begin Work
Again To-day.


The public schools of the city and coun-

that has lasted since Christmas eve.
The teachers, who have been away from
the city spending the holidays, have re-
turned, and both they and the pupils will
be ready to resume their duties after a
very pleasant vacation.
A number of additional pupils viii he
received into the schools to-day. Super

as many as possible OF those desiring ad-
mission might be received. with the very
successful result of all such prospective
pupils being assigned places

schools are those to which the greatest
number of new pupils have been given
cards, and all that desired them have
been accommodated, with the exception
of some thirty, who are still seeking adj
mission into the lower grades of the acad-
emy This is denied them on account of
there being a total lack of room neces-
sary for additional pupils.
II has been Superintendent Ashmore's
earnest wish to permit every child in the
city to enter the schools, and his inability
TO do so has been solely owing to the re-
