In the lately issued memorials of
Charles Henry Pearson, once one of
Australia's chief men of affairs, an
amusing story of his student life at
Oxford deals with a hayward genius,
whom he styles L. TT was one OF
his troubles that he was afflicted with
circumstances. One day he con-
fided to a friend that he had determin-
ed to try getting drunk as possible
cure. The friend argued against the
plan, but attached no particular i'm
portance to the matter. and presently
forgot all about it. Late that night,
as he was at work, he was startled by
a noise as of some one stumbling up
stairs and falling against his door. He
opened his oak, and t. staggered IN
and threw himself on a chair, very
drunk and muttering, 'Self-conscious
still; self-conscious still! .

"Oh, implicitly he replied. II

women seek some variation from the
severe shirt waist, yet will tolerate
nothing fussy, ms it must be worn

With the leaves or needles of the
oalsam fir as a cure for insomnia.
This tree is a distinctive feature of
the northern woods. with its tall.
straight trunk and aromatiefragrance.
The branches are high up on the
tree which produces Canada balsam,
dsed for it's antiseptic properties. The
palsam Is drawn from blisters In the
Dark. When branch is torn off this
reslnous fluid exudes freely. The
leaves are linear. the cones large.
cylindrical and of violet color; the
color of the leaves is lighter green
than those of the European silver FIR.
For cushion or pillow filling these
lainty needles are stripped with the
fingers from the branches on TO Il
white cloth. whence they are poured
INTO the pillow ease. The balsam re-
.ains its fragrance for years and Is
recommended for producing sweet
slumbers.
One popularity of the tree, which
has given ii religious Significance. Is
that each terminal branch is IN the
shape OF n cross. Hence the whole
tree shows "A multiplicity of crosses.

Direction of Lightning Flashes.

"Ever since I was boy" said one
of group of lOungers in the hotel
corridor, 'lightning has seemed to me
to go up instead of down. l have
watched it many time while it was
playing in the stormy sky, and the
direction was always apparently the
same-from the earth up toward the
zenith, l supposed this was an optical
illusion. peculiar to myself, until re-
in scientific journal that the actual
direction of the electric discharge is
uncertain. 1t is as likely to be up as
down. and depends entirely upon
whether the storm cloud happens to be
charged negatively of positively.
Since then l have mentioned the SUBJ
ject to others and found number of
persons who see lightning the same
way that do-going up. AS matter
of fact, the time of a flash of light
ming is so brief that it is impossible
to be certain of its direction. The eff
feet it produces on the mind must de-
pend largely upon preconceptiop, and
the flash seems to most persons to
descend because they are accustomed
to thinking of it as darting out of the
sky and striking things OH the
earth. Next time there is an electric
display in the heavens fix your mind
steadily on the idea of lightning rush
ing upward, and l will venture the
assertion the next flash seems to take
that direction. 1t is curious, but
simple. experiment and has been tried
with success by every member of my

A patent has been granted to Nikola
Tesla, the electrician, for an invention
designed to prevent the escape of elec-
tricity from wires. The method en-
ployed for insulating the electrical con-
ductor is to surround it with air kept
at so low n temperature as to main
tain a coating of ice on the wire. 1t
is claimed that by this means electri-
cal energy can be transmitted with al
most no loss for long distances.

| cept that it takes the yard instead OF
| the meter for it's standard unit. AS
much confusion would be involved In

system, and after it was adopted, we
should still be using n different system
from the other nations of the world.
