MsteorIte. and tho Century.

Among the great scientific advances
OF the century just passed there is one
which is seldom mentioned, although
it is of remarkable interest 1t is the
demonstration of the fact that stones
and metallic masses fall from the sky.
DR.. o. C. Harrington reminds us that
up to the beginning Of the nineteenth
century the attitude Of scientific men
toward the accounts of stones reported
to have fallen from the sky was in
general lone of scorn and incredulity."
He quotes a remark Of President JEFF
ferson when told that Professors SILL
man and Kingsley had described a
shower of stones at Weston, Connec-
ticut, in 1907: 1T is easier to believe
that two Yankee professors will lie
than to believe that stones will fall
from heaven" 1t was only after q
great shower of meteoric stones at
Laigle, in France. in 1908, had been
carefully Investigated by the French
Academy that men of science finally
became convinced that such things
really occurred.

Home Made Gondoliers.

How many citizens of Buffalo who
have watched the imported gondoliers
on the exposition canals realize that
we have developed race Of gondoliers
of our own right here in Buffalo? The
dirty old skiffs down in the harbor are
not so pleasing to the eye as the smart
Venetian gondolas at the fair. The
grimy ferry boys who propel them
don't look so foreign or so picturesque
as their fellow-craftsmen from abroad.
But when 1t comes to skill in handling
a boat with single stern oar, dodg-
ing around between steamers and tugs,
through narrow passages and over the
swells made by the big ships. the Buff
falo boys have no need to fear com
parison.
1t would be an interesting and popu-
lar exhibition il the Pan-American
authorities some day would take three
or four of the best of the ferry boys
from Buffalo harbor up to the exposi-
ton grounds. put them on the canals in
their old skiffs and match them in a
contest Of speed and skill against the
imported gondoliers. I'd bet my money
on the Buffalo boys.-Buffalo Express

Dancing for Health.

Long ago some ingenious arith-
metician discovered the exact amount
of ground covered by the average dan
GER in the course of an evening, and
the votaries of the dance are now sug-
costing that dancing should be re-
vived as a hygienic exercise. Now
adays men and girls show great Gag
erness to take up any pastime or sport
which gives them exercise, and as we
all know dancing has somewhat lost
its vogue. which, from a social point
of view. is much to be regretted. Let
some of the fashionable doctors recon-
mend their dyspeptic. anaemic patients
of both sexes to waltz as much as pos
sible. giving themselves on an aver
age the equivalent in terpsichorean
exercise of at least 30 miles walk a
week, and we shall see wonderful re-
vival in dancing.

Commodore Truxton was born on
Long Island, February II, 1855. He be-

and soon after was impressed into the
English service. Obtaining his dis
charge. he entered the merchant ma
rine and quickly rose to command. In
1775 he had charge of vessel in which
large quantities of powder were
brought to Philadelphia. In the latter
part of that year. his vessel was seized
and condemned under the restraining
act. Making his way to Philadelphia,
he was made lieutenant on the Con-
gress, the first private armed ship
fitted out by the colonies. In ITS he
was given charge of the independence,
with which he made brilliant record,
and later he commanded the Mars, the
Commerce and other vessels which did
great service for the American cause,
he being uniformly successful in his
many engagements with British YES

evenings at home in trying to help her

great that sometimes a man has turned

A Huge Lathe.

A huge lathe has been built express
ly to turn out the great granite col
umns for the Cathedral Of st. John the
Divine, New York. These columns, as
finished, will be 90 feet long and six
feet in diameter. The lathe that turns
them weighs 1856 tons. The eight cut
tiers of the lathe take each three
inch cut. reducing the column "a
inches at one cut. The blanks" or
uncut slabs of granite, come from
Vinalhaven, Me. Each Of the 80
granite columns designed for the choir
will weigh two-thirds as much as the

dress and polish each stone, even with
these ponderous and improved appli-
ances.

There is the well-known medicafi
story Of the old lady who imagined,
that she had frog in her stomach.
Her doctor, after vainly trying to per-
suade her that 1t was only imagina-
ton considered little deception justi-
fable to prevent this idea becoming
fixed in her mind. Having administer
ed an emetic, he managed to adroitly
introduce frog into the basin, as IL
1t had Just arrived from the old ladys
stomach. The patients Joy was great,
as there was proof positive that she
had been right all along as to the
cause of her illness. Her Joy was as
soon overloaded, as the idea struck
her that, although there was the old
frog, there might be little frogs left be-,
hind. The doctor, however, was equal
to this sudden emergency, for on a
rapid examination of the frog he i'm
mediately assured the patient that her
fears were groundless, as her late
guest was a gentleman frog.-Notes

ONE SHADE OR TWO.
Why are Some Things Gray and Otner,
Grey?

Grey?
Is there a difference between grey"
and gray" aside from the matter of
spelling? American photographers
say there is not. but the Academy tells
us that we must be careful If we would
give each its special application. +"
And it adds very learnedly: who
does not feel that some things are grey
and others gray?" II anybody does
not feel that way let him not be
ashamed to speak up. DIR. Murray, the
editor of the great new dictionary that
is now only partly published, went
about in 1898 making an inquiry as to
usage and found that opinions in Lon
Aon varied. The replies to his ques-
tions showed that in Great Britain the
form grey is the more frequent in use
despite the authority of DR.. johnson
and later photographers, who give the
preference to gray. Many correspon-
dents said they had used the two forms
with difference of meaning or appli-
cation, the distinction most generally
recognized being that grey denotes a
more delicate or lighter tint than gray.
Others considered the difference to be
that gray Is warmer color. or that it
has mixture of red or brown. The
Academy's own opinion is that gray
has more OF sentiment, grey more of
color, which means that gray is a sug-
gestion rather than positive outline.
After all this learned discussion peo-
pie will go on pronouncing the word
without reference to its vowel, and in
saying that the shade is gray they will
let any one with fancy for the dis
pute spell 1t to suit himself. These
fine distinctions may be ignored ON the
plea of the brevity OF life.-Youth's

ly Bouquet. But this fact does not
make her manner the less offensive. It
is a good thing to have self confidence
and courage for these qualities are es-
sential to success. But independence Is
trait that is contrary to agreeable
ness and robs its possessor of that
sweet amiability which is born from
the virtue, obedience. Every law Of
God, and every law of nature, is de-
pendent on another law for support.
The girl who thinks she can get along
without cultivating the graces of gen.
tleness, courtesy and kindness to 9TH
ers, is making sad mistake, and will
be anything but a success. Who knows
how to obey well will rule equally well.
Whether in the business or social
world, the girl, or woman who infiu-
ences things for the best is the one
whose bright disposition deems indie
pendence out of place where progress
is desired.
