A Rainy Day.

1t is not until we take the rainfall
In the bulk that we can realize what a
stupendous quantity of water showers
down in Great Britain and Ireland in
one year, and even when we have the
figures before us it is difficult to realize
their magnitude. To say, for instance,
that 9,262,370, ,0O0,0 900 cubic feet of rain
on an average fell annually in the
united kingdom conveys little or moth
Ing, though it implies something moist.
and when we further learn that the
weight of the same amounts to 25S.-
l26,5O0,oO0 tons, except for feeling of
thankfulness that it did not fall on
our toes all at once. we are only con-
scious that it makes a very pretty row
OF hgures. With the laudable inten-
ton of making these latter figures look
small we will merely say that the total
weight of the rain that falls in one
year on the British isles Is only equal
to 1-l19th part of the weight of one
paltry square mile of the earth's sur
race, from the surface to the center of
the earth. When we consider that
there are $4,000 square miles of such
surface in the united kingdom alone
one can understand what an infinitesi-
NAL fraction Of the total weight of the
British isles the annual rainfall would
amount to. Why, 100000 Forth
bridges would almost equal it.-Lud.

In view of what has been said in re-
cent years about the mission of flies
in carrying diseases it becomes more
urgent than ever to discover some
means to Danish them from our living
and cooking-rooms. 1t is said that a
little oil of lavender and water
sprinkled through common atomizer
about the rooms will drive the flies
away. However efficacious this remedy
may be, it can not be surpassed by
several of the mosquito killing pastils.
Besides destroying mosquitoes these
pastils kill the flies as well and drive
from their hidden dens nearly all yer
min in the rooms. There are several
varieties of these pastils, which can be
made at home. One good compound
is made by mixing one part of ben
zoin, one part balsam tolu, five parts
charcoal, one and half parts common
insect-powder, and half part salt
peter. Add sufficient water to this
mixture to knead into stiff paste.
Then roll the mixture into suitable
pastils and dry them. One of these
pastils will burn for some time in a
room, and the fumes emitted will de-
stroy the flies and mosquitoes without
lnjuring furniture or fine curtains.

FACTS ABOUT LIGHTNING HOLES.
low the Diameter of a Lightning Flash
is Measured.

fs Measured.
t'Did you ever see the diameter of
lightning flash measured?" asked a
geologist, according to Pearson's
Weekly. "Well, here is the case
which once inclosed fash of light
ming, fitting it exactly, so that you
can see just how big it was. This is
called a 'fulgurite,' or lightning
hole, and the material it is made of is
glass. L will tell you how it was
manufactured. though it only took q
fraction of second to turn it out.
"When a bolt of lightning strikes a
bed of sand it plunges downward into
the sand for distance less or great
er, transforming simultaneously into
glass the silica in the material through
which it passes. Thus, by it's great
heat, it forms glass tube of precisely
its own size. Now and then such q
tube, known as 'fulgurite, is found
and dug up. Fulgurites have been
followed into the sand by excavation
for nearly thirty feet. They vary in
interior diameter from the size of a
quill to three inches or more, accord
ing to the bore Of the flash.
''Bus fulgurites are not alone pro-
duced in sand; they are found also in
solid rock, though very naturally OF
slight depth, and frequently existing
as mere thin, CLASSY coating on the
surface. Such fulgurites occur in
astonishing abundance ON the summit
Of Little Ararat in Armenia. The
rock is soft and so porous that blocks
a foot long can be obtained and per-
forated in all directions by little tubes
filed with bottln-green glass formed
from the fused rock. There is small
specimen in the National Museum
which has the appearance of having
been bored by the torpedo and the
holes made by the worm subsequently
filed with glass.
"Some wonderful fulgurites were
found by Humboldt on the high Ne.
vada de Toluca, Mexico. Masses OF
the rock were covered with thin
layer Of green glass. 1t peculiar
simmer in the sun led Humboldt to
ascend the precipitous peak at the
risk of his life."

HOW TO OVERCOME INSOMNIA
Sleep May Be Induced bv Holding One's
Breath for q Time.

From the New York Press: In these
days, when the mercury is trying to
leap the hundred hurdle, the hardest
problem OF New Workers Is how to get
to sleep at night. Turn and strive as
one may to place himself, sleep won't
come. A prominent New York physi-
clan, himself a sufferer from insomnia
for many years, has discovered brand
new way of putting ones self to sleep
almost instantaneously. 1t has worked
well in his own case and never has
failed In the many trials he has made
upon his patients. After taking deep
inspiration the breath is held until pos
tive discomfort is felt. 1t is then let
gently out. The process is repeated a
second and third time, and this Is
as a rule sufficient to obtain sleep. The
mind must be fixed upon the expert
allowed to wander Insomnia Is pro-
duced by two kinds of cerebral activity
directly opposite in nature, too active
cerebral circulation and an insufficient
cerebral circulation. The former can
easily be recognized from the throb-
bing and pulsating arteries. The self
asphyxiation of the patient causes
dow Of nervous blood to the brain and
an increase of the carbonic acid and
waste products of decomposition.
These products, carried to the brain by
the blood, overwhelm its centers and
so produce sleep. DR.. Johann Meuli-
Hiltz, German physician, writes en-
Enthusiastically about the effect of Sleep
ing with the head low as a means OF
obtaining the most refreshing slumber.
He raises the foot of the bed so that it
forms an inclined plane. He says that
the sleep thus obtained is more benefi-
,ial; that one awakens with a clearer
head, a wider mental horizon. He as
serts that the neck increases in size,
that the cerebral circulation is i'm
proved and the influence upon the
lungs Is so great that it can lessen the
tendency to consumption. He recon-
mends that the lowering of the head
be done gradually, and says that in
somnia often is caused by sleeping
with the head too high.

Now is the season to fill the rose
jar with the leaves of roses and other
flowers to preserve the sweet odor of
summer for winter enjoyment. A
rose potpourri is a delightful remem-
brance of the warm, balmy weather
and its fragrance fills the house all
through the wintry days. At any
Oriental shop fancy, wide-mouthed
jars just adapted to this purpose can
be obtained for q nominal sum. The
rose-leaves should be collected in the
middle of the day when there is no
moisture on them. Spread them on a
newspaper to dry. Cover the bottom
of the jar lightly with salt, add layer
of the rose leaves. cover the top with
little cotton batting, and then put
on layer of the following mixture:
Half pound of powdered orris-root,
half an ounce of anise-seed, two ounces
of sandalwood, one Tonka bean, a
grain of musk, and three ounces of
some good sachet-powder. A few
drops of camphor and vinegar on top
of this layer should be sprinkled.
Then add another layer of cotton bat
ting and more rose-leaves, repeating
the operation until the jar is full 1t
is not necessary always to purchase
anything for the rose. Instead of
putting in orris-root and sandalwood,
and SO on, make mixture of other
sweet-scented flowers. Violets, honey.
su''kle, clover, pinks and other flow.
ers are good for this purpose. They
sho uld be gathered the same as the
ros,i-leaves in the middle of the day.
After the jar is full it should be kept
tightly covered. 1.-The New Voice.
