a1aa4ing Expansions of Great Britain.

Amazing Expansions of Great Britain.
 IT. 1780 the area of the British for. eign possessions outside and exclusive of the British Isles, but including Can, ada, the West Indies, and India, may be set down as about 31a millions vi square miles, with population o1 less than two millions of white people and perhaps forty-fiye millions of colored races. These figures. though little as compared with those Of 1899, ara yet quite respectable. They were vastly greater than other nations of that time could show. Indeed they are greater than any nation ea4 even now show for foreign possessions. In 1899 the British empire contains over 12 mil- lions of square miles and 40 millions of population, of whom 55 millions are white people. that is 40 millions in the mother country, and 15 millions in ths colonies, while the remainder are of coIored races. Th.s represents about nearly one-third of the habttable globe and shows an amazing expansion with tn the hundred years.

ELECTRICAL RESEARCH.

6ome Things That Have Not Yet Been
 Found Out,
 Prof. MeAdie says that before Ic1g science will succeed in measuring the snergy of a lightning flash, and also in demonstrating the nature of the au- cora. That the aurora is an electrical phenomenon has long been recognized An intimate relation seems to exist be. tween the aurora and sun spots. In 1882 the astronomer at Greenwich sent put notification of the appearance Of an enormous sun spot on Nov. 1y of that year. For three hours on the morning of that day not a wire of the Western Union Telegraph company could be used, and not even the mar- ket quotations could be distributed. At night there was a brilliant auroral display and all telegraph service was again interrupted. Cables to Europe and wires to Chicago were alike un- workable; but some messages were sent as far as TOO miles by cutting of she batteries and utilizing the atmos- pherlc electricity. Over half oS North America, across the Atlantic and over northern Europe it seemed as if le- gions of ethereal demons were busy melting electric and magnetic appara- tus to strange and mischievous antics. The artificial production of an electric fife-ball by Prof. Riehmapa is unique, though electricity in this form is not unfamiliar. Sometimes suck balls arc Seen to ruH along the surface of the sea, and when they appear on land they usually burst with loud noise, often with disastrous effects. Nobody has yet been able to explain these balls, which appear to be very con centrated form Of electricity. When the experts say, as most of them do, that electricity is merely form of mo- tion, the explanation is more or less unsatisfactory, but how is one to ae. count for the presentation of form Of a motion in the shape Of a luminous spheref Boston Transcript.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
On, " dairyman called at a drugstore
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought bottle of Chamberlains
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr.Otto Scholz, says the family has since
recommended Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to their neighbors and friends
until he has constant demand for it
from that part of the country. For sale

THE HOO.HOOS.

me second Anniversary OF the Brook
haven 'Organixatiob.
Saturday last was Hoo Hoo day in
Brookhaven and the public was kept
on the qui vive for the Anticipated pro-
cession that, regardless Of their enthu-
siasm, was postponed by an evening
shower, for fully an hour. There we're
nine floats, emblematic of the nine
lives of the Hoo Hoo"-the tall, black.
defiant feline that headed the parade.
Miss Josie Heuck made a beautiful
queen and was followed by a float con-
tanning her maids of honor: Misses
Mary Chambers, Ida keenan,, Laura
Penn, Francis Mason, Fannie Moreton
and Mary Ewing. A bevy of beautiful
young girls also occupied the next
float. They we're Misses Susie Becker.

mic Powell, Bessie Cooke, Cora Allen.
of French Camp, May Sherman, Cleo
Smith and Idalette Harris, of Halle
hurst. Two of the supreme officers.
John b. Nalty and John Mason occu-
pied drag with two visiting H loo Hoos,
Messrs. Kent, of Kentwood, and Nc
Laughlin, of Fernwood. The mar
shals of the day we're Messrs. r. T.
Scherck and T. M. Allen, who we're eff
fectively arranged in silk tiles and
white linen.
The floats, or cages, containing %
"Innocents" or kittens" which were
to be initiated before they could be
made full grown "cats," and other at
fractions in the mysteries of the order,
all created interest and amusement.
What followed the public display no
man knoweth, who is not a Hoo Hoo
1t leaked out some way, however, that
feast was spread in the Masonic Tenn
pie, of which all the "cats" partook.
This second grand confederation of
the Hoo Hoos in Brookhaven proved
to be success greater than the one of
last year, and it is the intention of the
members of the local order to annually
celebrate hereafter.
Messrs. Chas. Heuck and Eugene
Mccormick deserve all praise for the
decorations and paraphernalia, of the
parade.
Following are the grand officers of
the order of Hoo Hoos:

Church, during which time he has con-
verified many souls to Christ. To hear
him preach is to hear child of God.

we hope he may be successful in bring
ing as many people to Christ in his
new field as he was i'm the old one at
Wesson.
lt Will seem strange to us now to 90
to the Old Baptist Church in Wesson
and not see the face of Brother Pur.
ser there, and it will be strange again
to attend the funeral of member of
that church and not see him there to
conduct the services, but we can feel
sure of one thing, that if all of us will
be good enough to go to heaven, when
the final summons comes, he will be
there by and by, never to leave us any
more.
1t is hard to give him up, yet no
doubt it is for his own good. A change
may help him and to say the least, we
hope he may come back and preach for
us occasionally and keep green in his
heart the memory of his Wesson
friends as they will of him. May God
continue to bless him and his family.
