Moon and Mirror.

Some night when the moon is at its
full and the air Is free from haze go
outdoors with q hand mirror and hold
it so that the moons image will fall on
it. Make the experiment, preferably,
when the moon is we'll up in the heay-
ems.
Instead of seeing one image, as you
will expect. you will see four.
One of these images will be very
bright, but the other three will be dull.
like unburnished silver.
They will be in straight line, one
of the dull images on one side of the
bright image and two on the other side
Of it. Turn the mirror slowly around,
and the images will appear to revol7e
around on common center.
The explanation Of this queer little
phenomenon may be found in the fact
that there are two surfaces in mirror,
one in front and the other in the back,
where the quicksilver is.
The brightest Of the Images is from,
the moon itself. The others are what
are known as secondary images, re-
fected from the front to the back of
the mirror and thence to the eye.
A similar experiment may be made
with the planers Venus. Jupiter and
Mars or with any of the first magni-
tude stars, such as Sirius, Capella.
Arcturus, Vega and Antares.
70 The planets and the stars. however,
make only three images. the number Of
images depending Oh the breadth Of the
object. \ perfectly clear night is es-

The Common Chord,

James Buckban. one of our minor
poets. put into beautiful verse an Incl.
dent which occurred during the civil
war. He calls it The Common Chord" I"
The incident was this: Two great ar
mics, one wearing the blue and one
the gray. were drawn up in prepara-
ton for battle AS the evening fell the
bands began to play. "Dixie" by the
southerners was followed by Yankee
Doodle" by the nor.herners. and MA
ryland, Ny Maryland" drew out Hail
Columbia" Beautiful Girl Of the
South" was answered by Just Before
the Battle. Mother" Each side mock
ed and jeered the others music and
cheered their own until the stars came
out and silence fell
Then, sweet and low, Il band far up
the line began to play "Rome. Sweet
Home" Another and another joined
until all the bands on both sides were
playing in unison, and. stronger and
more beautiful still. the men on both
sides were singing the words. The
common chord had been struck, and
the thousands Of colnbatants were at
one with the sentiment, There's no
place. like home"

kept the class for several minutes. Ger
tain restless spirits among the STU

hint, so they bought an alarm clock.
London Tit-Bits tells the result.
The clock. set to alarm at precisely
70 O'Clock, was placed on the profess

gan his lecture without observing the
clock. But when the noon hour struck
the alarm went off With a startling
crash
Even those not in the secret appreci-

applause. The professor smil;ng!T

plause ceased and then said:
Young gentlemen, thank you for
this gift. had forgotten it was my
birthday. An alarm clock is something
my wife has needed for our servant for
a long time. 1t is a very kind reEiem,

On with the demonstration which had
been interrupted by the alarm, and the
students were never quite able to sat

Old Names In London.

If London street names are not al
ways what they seem, the names Of the
great parishes usually are. Take Lam.
beth, for instance. That vast district
has retained it's name practically unal-
tered since the days Of Edward the
Confessor, who granted charter in
which it is styled Lambehith. Some
:lliterate scribe, who helped in the max
ing of "Domesday," did, indeed, make
an effort to obliterate its real name by
calling it Lanchei, but his efforts were,
fortunately. in vain. William Rufus
in another charter named it Lambeth,
since when it has kept its title unsul-
lied
In the old days Lambehith (from
hithe. a haven was the great river port
whence agricultural produce was fer
ried across the Thames to the. more
Dopulous country opposite. There are
still many "hithes" left US. such as
Oueenhithe and Rotherhithe. and. al
though their original functions have
gone, there still remains shadow to
remind us of their departed glory

Making It Clear.

To confuse a witness is generally an
easy task, and lawyers know no easier
way than to make a witness explain
the meaning Of his words, knowing
that very few people can do so without
getting excited. Occasionally a victim
resents this nagging and answers in a
spirited and unexpected manner. A
lawyer was cross examining young
girl Of rather naughty temper. She had
testified that she had seen the defend
ant "shy" q book at the plaintiff, and
the lawyer had seized on the word.
"Shy-shy book? What do you
mean by that? Will you explain to the
court what the word shy means"
The girl leaned over the desk be-
meath the witness box. picked up a
lawbook and threw it at the lawyers
head, who lodged JUST in time.
81 think the court now understands
the meaning Of the word shy" said
the judge gravely, and the: girl was al
lowed to finish her testimony without

Ate $4,000 Worth of Liver.

Among the many poker stories afoat

place, in New York city, one day and
sat in a game, winning S23.G00 with
very little trouble. Then he rose to

shook hands with him and asked him
what was his hurry. Hank said be

rant he knew where they always cook
ed liver in a way that he particularly
liked
"Oh, if that's all" said Daily, lust
stay here. We can serve the liver just
that way, and you can go right on

Dutch Hank had left some friends
outside waiting, but he said he would
stay and eat the liver. He sat down
and ate and played. His $4,000 soon
went back 70 Daly in turn Of luck.
Hank went out without a cent.
"What kept you so long?' his friends
demanded.
"Well, you don't suppose man can
eat $4,000 worth Of liver in 4 minute,
do you?' was the retort Of Hank.
