The Nature of Ether.

II any reader is disposed to object to
the assum ption of medium behaving
in such very different ways with re-
gard to motions of different speeds, 1t
may assist in convincing him that the
objection is not valid one to direct
his attention to the similar behavior
of such a familiar substance as pitch.
In moderately cold weather this ma
terial has all the appearance of solid
and will resist a blow or mOmentary
heavy pressure. If, however. a denser
body than the pitch. such as a bullet.
for example. be laid upon its surface.
it will gradually sink until it rests up
on whatever is supporting the pitch.
If. on the other hand. the pitch is plac-
ed upon a less dense body. such as
cork, the latter will float up through it
in the course of time. The pitch, there
fore, exposes great resistance to rapid
motion, but the smallest pressure
causes it to give way if sufficient time
is allowed.-Knowledge

A Chicago street Car Episode.

A Chicago Street Car Episode.
Passengers on an east bound Archer
avenue car were thrown into a panic
one night by the prospect of holdup.
At the sight of a wild eyed man jerk
ing the bell rope and f1ourishing huge
revolver timid women sought shelter
behind brave men.
Quiet was restored when the real
cause of the disturbance was learned.
Car 1911 had been about to cross the
switch tracks at Ashland avenue when
the conductor asked the man for his
fare. He took So bill and was about
to make change when he saw the
warning lights ahead.
"Wait a moment he said and dart
ed ahead with his lantern.
"Stop the carr roared the eXcitablc
passenger. who saw the conductor and
his S. disappearing down the track
Hes got my money!!
The would be "holdup'' man had
reached the front door when the car
flashed past the conductor. who was
waiting for the rear platform. The
passenger tried to jump from the car
but found it impossible because OF the
Archer avenue bridge structure. Then
he made a mad dash for the rear door
where the conductor met him with
polite Don't forget your change. sir.

Some people get notions in their
heads that are queer. An eccentric
citizen equipped his house with screen.
and had them made with circular
hole in the middle to avoid the trouble
of driving out the flies. A farmer
who had two wind mills on his place:
recently took one down and sold it
under the belief that there was not
enough wind for both.

There are in Montana sapphires OF
beauty and value. but they have never
been as systematically worked as have
been the sapphres of the orient. True,
they are light in color. but they have
more brilliancy than the Asian sap
phires and often exhibit dichorism, or
double color. under different lights.
The supposition that a sapphire should
be dark blue is possibly responsible for
the slowneSs of their acceptance in the
market but as a matter of fact sap
phirps are not Of necessity blue; they
are green. yellow purple. white. and
when they are red we call them rubies,
for the ruby and sapphire are Identical

per cent of coloring matter.-Brooklyn

very rich strike had been made In the
Virtue mine, which Is located about eight
miles east Of this city. The mine has not
