Everything Leaks.

Ordinary tumblers will hold water
because the globules of water are too
big to squeeze through the glass But
glass is az full of holes as a sponge, and
air blows right through it. because the
specks of air are smaller than the holes
Put a bell into big globe Of glass,
seal up the vessel pump out all the air.
then ring the bell inside, and you hear
nothing There is not air enough in the
globe to carry a sound. But lay the
globe aside for month or so. and no
matter how carefully you have sealed
up the neck you will find that you then
can hear the bell when you ring it Air
has got into that globe-enough any
way to carry a sound has leaked IN
through the substance of the glass
The ordinary incandescent lamp is
glass globe with the air pumped out
and after few months sufficient air
leaks through to dim the light which
comes from the thread of electrified
charcoal inside
We can make plenty of vessels to
hold water but nothing has been made
which will hold air without any leak
age The air sneaks in through holes
which are too small for the human mind
to imagine
In fact everything leaks Answers

A serious outbreak, resulting from
the campaign that has been conducted
at Cameron, Marshall county, for
weeks, against unlicensed saloons and
speakeasies, is reported. Rev Mr..
Montgomery, of the Presbyterian
church at Cameron, was decoyed from
his home late at night on pretense
that he was wanted at telephone sta
ton near by, and when half way he
was pelted with stones by crowd.
The minister was seriously hurt. The
town is under a sort of reign of ter
ror, and citizens go heavily armed.

A Soldier Robbed.

Private William Glaves, who has
recently returned from Cuba, was
neatly tricked out of $50 by stran-
ger whom he met on the train be-
tween Shenandoah Junction and Ber-
ryville on Friday. Private Glaves
started for home, in Knoxville, Tenn,
over the Norfolk and Western Rail
road. Soon after leaving Shenandoah
Junction a stranger took seat by his
side, and after some remarks on the
war asked ifhe had some large notes he
could exchange for smaller ones. The
soldier, willing to acco mmod ate him,
reached into his satchel and took out
an envelope containing three 500 bills,
which be laid on the seat by his side.
The stranger produce roll of notes,
which the soldier counted and fou nd
it to contain only $50, and handed it
back to the stranger for him to count.
Before the counting Of the money was
settled Berrvvllls was reached, and
the stranger, still holding the roll
Of notes in his hand, got up and pass
ed out of the train. Shortly after
ward the soldier saw the envelope in
which he thought were his three $50
bills lying on the seat, and, picking it
up to replace in his satchel, on glanc-
ing at its contents found it to contain
a few sheets oftissue paper, the stan
ger evidently having exchanged the
envelope containing the money for this
one while he was engaged IN count
ing the roll of notes. The soldier left
the train at White Post aud telegraph
ed to Berryville to Sergeant Rlcamore,
and efforts were made to apprehend
the sharper. 1t Was learned that such
a man left the train at that point, but
his movements since could not be dis
covered, and it is supposed that he
