A phenomenon, the cause of which
has not yet been satisfactorily e1-
planned, was described at recent meet
ing of the scientists. Discs of loaf SUI
gar were mounted on lathe and rap
idly rotated while hammer played i
lightly against them. An almost con-
tinuous radiation of light was thus pro-
duced from the sugar. 1t was shown
that the light did not rise from heating
of the sugar, and it ID believed to be |
caused by some change taking place in |
the sugar crystals. The act of crystaIli- !,
zation is known to be sometimes accom-
panied by flashes of light. The prac-
teal bearing of these experiments is on
the question of possibility of obtain
ing artificial light by methods as yet
untried.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
did you ever see the diameter of
lightning fash measured?" asked
geologist. well, here is the case
which once inclosed flash of light
ming, fitting it exactly, so that you can
see just how big it was. This is called
'fuigurite, or lightning hole and the
material it is made of is glass. l will
tell you how it was manufactured,
though it took only fraction of sec
ond to turn it out.
when a bolt of lightning strikes a
bed of sand it plunges downward into
the sand for a distance less or greater,
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 'fuigurite' is found and dug UP. Full
gurites have been followed into the
sand by excavation for nearly 80 feet.
They vary in interior diameter from the
size Of quill TO three inches Or more,
according to the bore of the fash.
But fulgurites are not alone pro-
duced in sand; they ore found also in
solid rock, though very naturally of
slight depth, and frequently existing
merely as thin, CLASSY coating OH the
surface. Such fulgurites cccur in as
tonishing 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 perforated in
all directions by little tubes filled with
bottle-green glass formed from the
fused rock. There is small specimen
in tho al ~, ha, -,
appearance of having been bored by the
teredo, and the holes made by he worm
subsequently filled with glass.
Some wonderful fulguritcs were
found by Humboldt on the high Nevada
de Toluca, in Mexico. Masses of the
rock were covered with a thin layer of
green glass. Its peculiar simmer in
the sun led Humboldt to ascend the
r precipitous peak at the risk of his life"

: An amusing story is told of a wicked
trick which fortune played, a short
time ago, on a lady. The lady and her
husband, who We're travelling. called
at the shop of a country draper to make
a few purchases. They were about tc
!. leave the shop, when an attractive bon
net arrested the lady's attention, ano
she induced her husband to buy it fol
her.
When it came to payment, however
the husband found to his dismay that h
had not sufficient money to pay TO-
) it. In this dilemma he offered tn
/ draper an eighth-share ticket in Ger
9 man lottery which he had in his purse
, and finally induced him to accept i
# in part payment. A few days late
n the lady learned, to her disgust, tina
n the lottery ticket had won an eight
70 of $4,000; and that her darling bon
> net" had thus cost her the record pric
J. of over $4,000.
l. 1t was q happy inspiration tina
tempted a young lieutenant on the 1ta
ian battleship Lepanto to turn his al
tention to the Spanish Christmas lo1
terry a couple of years ago. The shi
was cruising off the coast of Spai,
> and it occurred to the lieutenant
induce all on board, from captain
10 cabin boy, to join in purchasing 10
e. terry ticket. The ticket was bough
st and, to the delight of all, was FORT
OF nate enough to win the first prize I
ts 1000, which was divided among tt
lucky owners on Christmas day.
. A very curious piece of good fortu1
fell last year to the lot of poor wido
who kept a small shop in the suburb
of Berlin. One evening as she w;
serving a customer working ms
stepped into the shop and begged pc
ss mission to light his pipe. Drawing
M piece of paper from his pocket.

On after lighting his pipe, threw down Il
ey spill and walked out with word
ks thanks.
