Ancient LiKAtntna Rods.

The ancients did not have lightning
rods constructed as ours are, but they
had lightning conductors, which shows
that they knew how to protect them
selves from the danger that lies in a
thunderstorm. Even so long ago as
the tenth century lightning was divert
ed from fields by planting In them
long sticks or poles, on top OF which
were lance heads. 1t Is said that the
Celtic soldiers used to try to make
themselves safe from the stroke dur
ing a storm by lying on the ground
with their naked swords planted point
upward beside them.
There was long ago on the shore Of
the Adriatic sea a stronghold known
as DUNE castle, on the highest tower
of which there was an iron rod that
was used as a means of telling when a
storm was approaching in summer. A
soldier was always stationed near the
rod when the sea had a threatening
look, and 1t was his duty to frequently
put the iron point of his javelin close
to the rod, watching for the spark that
would tell him it was time to warn the
fishermen by ringing big bell.

Ancient sky,croper..

Numerous conflicting estimates have
been made Of the height OF the tower
Of Babel, but one fact never has been
denied and that is that 1t was a sky
scraper. st. Jerome In his commen-
tary on Isaiah says that the tower
was already 1000 PAGES high when
God came down to stop the work. A
pace Is about two and one-half feet;
therefore 1000 PAGES must be 10000
feet; consequently Babel was twenty
times as high as the pyramids (Which
are only about 500 feet. Father Cal
met says the tower was $1,000 feet
high and that the languages were con-
founded because the architects were
confounded, as they did not know how
to bring the building to head More
over, it is understood that the Chinese
language Of today was originally the
same language as the high German.

The odor Of Death.

A London physician of large practice
asserts that owing to his extremely

He says that when patient comes

earthly smell is emitted from the body.
When the fatal disease is slow in its
progress, the odor makes its appear

galloping kind the doctor says he re-

tributes the smell to modification,
which begins within the body before
life is extinct.

The worm In the chestnut.

A physician explains how the worm
gets into the chestnut. When the nut
Is still green, an insect comes along
and, hunting warm place in which
to have its eggs Matched, lights upon
the green chestnut and stings 1t. At
the same time it deposits some Of it's
eggs in the opening thus made. The
chestnut begins to ripen, and at the
same time the eggs are Matching. The
insect selects chestnuts as place for
depositing Its eggs as being the best
adapted place by instinct The foury
matter in the nut turns to sugar, and
sugar contains carbon, which produces
heat.

where Women May Not Pray

Where women May Not Pray.
There Is practically universal pro
hibition against women praying In Mo-
hammedan countries. They are not
admitted beyond the thresholds Of the
mosques; but, on the other hand, the
Koran distinctly encourages women to
pray in private. Some Hindoo congre-
cations deny the privilege of prayer to
their women altogether. Among the
Ainu, race supposed to be the abo-
rhymes Of Japan, women are not per-
mitted to pray or offer sacrifice except
In rare cases as the deputies of their
husbands. The reason for this prac-
tice is that the Ainu women are not
supposed to possess souls, and there
fore their prayers would be quite I'M
availing. Among the natives of Mad
agascar women are permitted to pray,
but only to the powers of evil, kind
of microscopy prayer. Only men are
permitted to address prayers directly
to the Supreme Being.
