half pint Of hot water. Cover and
leave it until the gum is dissolved. Then
add quarter of pound of pure white
sugar and a generous half gill of strain
ed lemon juice. Place these ingredients
over the fire and let them simmer about
ten minutes. Then pour the mixture in
to bottle and cork. When taking this

OVEREDUCATEO.
Cultivated Greeks Compelled to Work at
UncongeniaI Tasks.

1t is one Of the curious apparent con
tradictions Of the country and the peo-
pie that whereas large percentage of
the population can neither read nor
write, the bane Of the nation is over ed
ucation, says the London Journal III an
article upon the Greeks. The university
and high schools actas magnets, attract
ing all the clever or ambitious youth OF
the country, large numbers OF whom
are duly stamped every year with the
academic seal and turned adrift with
larger demands on society than their
fathers ever had and less means of sat"
isfying them. Hence q considerable
number of young men throughout the
country who can speak several Ian
guages and have acquired large stores
of general CT technical knowledge are
forced to earn their bread by means of
uncongenial work. These individuals
are dissatisfied with the established or
der of things, which makes no special
provision for them, and they gladly
lend their aid to social reformers or
political agitators Of all parties and
professions.
Not that there are any political par
ties in Greece in the sense in which
these exist in most constitutional coun-
tries Men, not measures, is the uni
versal cry; individual interest is the
line of cleavage. The crowd follows one
of the two men whose heads are above
those of their fellows. The successful
leader then provides places for the few
who are chosen as well as called, and
high sounding rhetoric for the many
People change sides from time to time

case is there any principle at stake. The

ems receive but couple OF thousand

from the state, but in some cases this
constitutes the sole support of the legis
lator's family.

PHOTOGRAPHIC A SHOT.
Wonderful Experiments In Determining
the Time of Flash of Electricity.

Wonderful Experiments In Determining
the Time Of Flash of Electricity.
Recent achievements in the moving
photography that has produced the AMI
matograph, biograph, cinematograph
and other representations of motion are
not more wonderful than the lately per-
fected photography of the flying bullet.
Professor @. Vernon Boys, f. X. s.. has
worked on this seemingly unsolvable
problem with great success, as have also
two Italian artillery officers.
In the course of lecture on the sub
ject, Mr. Boys demonstrated that the
ordinary notion that an electric spark is
instantaneous was quite erroneous and
stated that the light of the two ends OF
the ordinary electric spark lasted lit
tie less than the one-hundred thousandth
part of a second. 1t was, of course, in
Simultaneous to our senses, but to tests
which could measure accurately to the
one-hundred millionth part of u second
the electric spark was anything but in
Simultaneous This spark was no good
for taking the photograph of flying
bullet, as the lecturer showed by exhib-
iting one of his attempts, which made
quite blurred picture.
Mr.. Boys then proceeded to explain
the steps which he took in order to re-
duce the length of time of the electric
spark. To this end it was essential that
| the terminals should be made of copper,
platinum or some metal which did not
produce readily an ignitible vapor, and
| the electric current must not be driven
through wires at all. He used a very
thick, broad band of copper, not more
than two inches long, which reached
around the edge of the plate, so that the
J electric current had not more than
three or four inches to 60 altogether.
He explained by diagrams how he had
effected his object and shortened the
time of the spark to about one-thirteen
millionth of second, or about 1OC
times quicker than the ordinary flash.
To give the audience some idea of the
inifinitesimal fraction Of time, he sale
the time occupied by the spark as re-
duced by his apparatus was proportion
ately as much less than second as 1
second was less than five months, an(
during that time bullet fired from ;
magazine rife could not travel more
than one five hundredth part of an inch
BY this simple continuance he was abb
to get brighter and shorter spark AM
all that was necessary to make a GOO
and sharp picture. New York World.

turc tho Precious Metal.
E. C. Brice, whose claim to proc
ess for creating gold and silver from
chemically pure antimony and other
base metals has been under investlga-
ton by commission of mint experts,
with only negative results, has made
application to the commissioner of pat
ents for another test.
In his request he asserts that the
commission did not follow his direc-
lions in important particulars. lngre-
dients, he alleges, were used which
were inimical to his process, and
that he himself produced gold from
chemically pure antimony, sulphur and
iron after the commissioners had failed
with the same materials, and that they
then declared that by whatever process
gold and silver might be obtained from
any other materials it simply showed
that gold and silver were in the metals
before the process was used.-Exchange'
