what Is a Days

Nine persons out of 10-yes, 999 out
Of every 1, 00O-if asked how long it
takes the earth to turn once on it's axis
would answer "a hours, and to the
question, How many times does 1t turn
on its axis in the course of the year
the answer would be 365A times Both
answers are wrong.
1t requires but 23 hours and SO min
utes for the earth to make one complete
turn, and it makes 366A turns during
the year. The error springs from a
wrong idea of what is meant by a day.
The day is not, as is commonly sup
posed, the time required by the earth
TO make one turn on its axis, but the
interval between two successive pas
sages of the sun across the meridian
that is to say, the time which elapses
after the sun is seen exactly south in
its diurnal course through the heavens
before it is again seen in that position.
Now, in consequence Of the earth's
revolution in it's orbit, or path round
the sun, the sun has the appearance of
moving very slowly in the heavens in a
direction from east to west. At noon
tomorrow the sun will be a short dis
lance to the east of the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon to-
day, SO that when the earth has made
one complete turn it will still have to
turn four minutes longer before the sun
can again be seen exactly south.

The Slaughter That Came with the
End of the J~anizaries.
On the 18th day of June, 1925. the
whole corps Of the janizaries in the
capital assembled. overturned their
camp kettles (the signal of revolt) and
advanced upon the seraglio. With his
own hand the sultan unfurled the
sacred ''sanjak sheriff and called upon
the true believers to rally round their
dischah and caliph. and the jealous
Mussulman citizens rushed from all
quarters and rallied under the sacred
symbol The ranks of the j~anizaries
were raked with grape and solid shot
by "Black He'll Ia nickname for Ibra-
him, general Of artillery and his gun
ners as they pressed through the streets,
compelling them to fall back to the
Etmeidan, where they defended them
selves with extraordinary ierceness.
Staying great numbers Of their assail-
ants The artillery, supported by the
marines and the bostangi, pressed for
ward and compelled them to retreat to
their barracks, where they offered des-
perate resistance to the assault
From every street cannon thundered
on the walls without intermission, the
building was soon in flames. the walls
torn and battered down by grapeshot.
and the janizaries. overwhelmed by
ruins, shot and flames, persisted in their
burning and blood stained barracks
For two days the gates of the city re-
manned closed. and with relentless vigor
every corner was searched for such
ja~nizaries as had escaped the general
massacre. and when found they were
hastily executed Nearly 90, 600 JAM
zaries were destroyed ON this memora-
BILE day, and many thousands were aft
erward put to death in the various
cities of the empire. and thus not one
of the number under arms was left to
tell the tale. Self Culture.

Cinnamon are natural gamblers, and
in every city in this country where
they congregate they have a lottery.
The manner of conducting the lot
terry is characteristic. Square yellow
papers are circulated about Chinatown.
They contain so characters within a
green border. There is nc name or loca-
ton on the sheet, but every one knows
it's Office and uses. Translated literally,
these characters represent some natural
phenomena, such as "Heaven and
earth, "Fishes swim, " ''Birds fly"
1.-THE world is vast, s'Clouds RISE and
other commonplace of daily life, and so
general are they that the most ordinary
dream may find here a character for in
depreciation.
Twenty characters are chosen and
crossed and the wager laid. When the
drawing comes, the man who guesses
three Of these numbers gets his money
back; five. he wins double his stake,
and ten, 900 times the amount paid in.
The stakes run from 10 cents to So.

when Poe Was hungry.

Gabriel Harrison, who was a popular
young actor in the forties and also an
artist and politician and friend of cele-
brated men, told this story of Edgar
Allan Poe:
81 asked Poe several times when he
was at the studio to sit for his portrait,
but he always refused on the ground
that his clothes were too shabby. But
n Afternoon / caught him in an un-
usually complacent mood and obtained
the original of the engraving you see
there on the wall. This was but three
years before Poe's death, and he was
not at all prosperous.
81 recollect that once we were walk
ing up town together late In the day,
when Poe began to sway from side to
side and then stopped. He said he felt
faint. We went into a cafe, where we
had a glass of wine and a biscuit. Poe
then told me that his sudden dizziness
was the result of not having eaten any
thing since early morning"
