the principle just given will suffice to
indicate that very small particles Of
water will fall very slowly in still air,
while very slight upward current will
suffice to keep them from descending

ZANCWILL AND THE BULLY.
Israel Did Not Fight Tin He Was Sure
of Victory.

Israel Did Not Fight Till He Was Sure
of Victory.
When he was boy, Israel Zangwill
the author and playwright, was the
same thin, long haired specialized per-
son that he is today, only it then took
more courage to be eccentric in APP
pearance than it does now, says the
Saturday Post. Twenty-Five years ago
Mr.. Zangwill was pupil in the Jew
ish Free school, Bell lane, Spitalfields,
London. His singular face and still
odder manner led the older and larger
boys to make a butt of him. For the
first few months he was cuffed and
boxed, bullied and kicked ~ a number
of playfIl .odIns, but especially by the
bully of the school, broad-shouldered
noisy young ruffian. One day, after
school, Zangwill attracted not only
the attention of the school children
but of the neighborhood as well by
turning upon his prosecutor and reply
ing to him in kind. When the bully
recovered from his amazement he
threw off his coat and hat and made a
rush for the lad. Zangwill was ready
for him. He laid down his books and
doubled up his angular fists. Inside of
five minutes he had knocked down the
bully three times and two minutes later
he had him suing for pardon and beg
ging to be let up. From that day until
he went to college he was let severely
alone, and it was not until years after
that the secret of his victory became
known. During all the period of his
persecution Zangwill had been taking
boxing lessons privately of prizefght-
Ell and he did not offer battle until he
was reasonably sure of the result.

What a Fog Is.

In Engineering there is an interest
ing contribution by Prof. Barr of Glas-
gov university, who deals with mete-
orical phenomena. 1t used, he said, to
be commonly supposed that the parti-
cles forming fog or cloud consisted
of small vesicles or bubbles of water,
filled with some very light gas. This
extraordinary conception arose from
the supposed necessity of finding some
explanation of the suspension of these
particles in the air The process of
