the prizes offered were gold watch

Twenty-seven women were entered
for the race and one was started every
five minutes. Thousands of persons
lined the streets and roads. greeting
the competitors with ironical cheers.

Signals at Sea.

The code of signals used by vessels at
sea is prepared by committee ap-
pointed at the international marine
conferences that are held every few
years. We had one at Washington in
1890, another one held at Copenhagen
two years ago, at which reTisions were
adopted, which extended and sinpli-
fed the code considerably. Each ship
is required to have a set OF flags and a
supply of rockets which represent 200
or 300 combinations. These can be in
terprted by the cookbook into SEN
tences covering almost every possible
situation or communication which any
ship might want to send to another.
Ships that pass in the night make sig
mails by fire; in the day by fags.-N.

Smallest OF tho Small.

While we are accustomed to think
of atoms as the smallest possible
particles into which matter can be
divided, recent experiments, particu.
larly those Of DR.. Gustave LIE Bon,
have indicated that. through eIec.
trical dissociation. atoms themselves
are capable of subdivision into parti-
cles of amazing minuteness. Many
wears ago Lord Kelvin calculated the
probable size Of molecule Of air, and
according to him about 25,o0o.ooo such
molecules laid in row would meas
ure an inch. There would be 600 air
molecules in wave-length OF ordi-
nary light. Every rolecule is COM
posed Of atoms smaller than itself.
Now, DR.. Le Bon calculates that the
particles dissociated by the electric
energy which produces such phenom,
ena as the Becquerel rays are &C
small that even atoms would appear
to be infinitely large" in comparison
with them.-Youth's Companion.

Evaporation Of Gold.

Sir ". c. Roberts-Austen has proved
through an experiment extended over
four years that when column OF
lead is allowed to rest upon column
Of gold slow diffusion OF evaporation
Of the gold takes place, resulting in
the appearance Of traces Of gold in
the lead. When degree Of heat not
sufficient to melt either Of the metals
is applied the diffusion Of the gold
takes place more rapidly. The tend-i
ency Of the particles is upward into
the lead. AS far as is yet known the
evaporation Of gold occurs only in
the presence Of another metal

The Dahlia in ITALY.

Florence, the city of flowers, is about
to celebrate floral centenary-that Of
the dahlia, which was first imported to
Europe from Mexico in 1890 by three
Spanish explorers, who planted it in
Madrid in the hope that the tubers
might prove cheap food for the starv-
ing peasantry. Instead Of that, tho
beauty Of its flowers attracted the at
tention Of the rich, and in 1900 some
specimens were taken to Paris. From
this time the dahia became one Of the
glories of European gardens. It also
then first received name, adapted
from that Of Dahl, the leading botanis.

Motor Posts In Australia.

A frequent difficulty encountered by
postal authorities in Australia is the
cheap and expeditions delivery Of mails
TO outlying localities. Many Of these
places are hundreds of miles from the
nearest railway line, and the route is
apt to be through drought-stricken
country, where the dry roads are at
times impossible even by cameis. This
is conspicuously the case in tropical
Queensland. But the government OF
that colony has risen TO the emergency
and has decided to try tie experiment
Of dispatching mails to "out back" by
motor car. The result is likely TO be
awaited with interest in other places
than Queensland.-London Daily Mail.
