First Analysis of AeroIites

In 1896 a stone weighing ffty-six
pounds was exhibited in London. 1t
was said to have fallen from the sky
In Yorkshire in the previous December.
but this statement was received with
great incredulity At that time Sir Jo-
seph Banks was president Of the Royal
society, and he noticed a strong re-
semblance between the Yorkshire stone
and one sent TO him from Siena, in It
ally, which was said to have fallen
from the sky. Two or three years lat
er he received an account of fall of
stones near Benares, in Hindustan. A
chemical analysis Of the stones from
all three sources proved them to be
identical In composition, and increduli-
ty as to their meteoric origin began
to give way.-Notes and Queries.

The prophecies of his friends were full

immemorial A healthy body, n fresh an

we possess depend on that source of life
1t is therefore the duty of every sensible
man to keep the blood as pure and nor
NAL as possible. Nature, in it's infinite
wisdom, has given MS a thermometer in
dicating the state of the blood which
appeals to our reason by giving notice If
its impurity. Small eruptions of the skin.
to which we scarcely pay any attention
headache. ringing noises in the ears iassi
tude, seeplessneSs, are generally a sign
that the blood is not in its normal state,
but is filled with nOxious substances
These symptoms deserve our full atten
ton. If more attention were paid to
those symptoms. and steps taken to re-
move them. then many illnesses from
which we suffer would become unknown,
and the human body would become
stronger and healthier. Attention there
fore should be paid to those warnn.

An interesting demonstration OF the in
telligence of the ant was made by stu
dent in the biological department of the
University of Pennsylvania last week.
The young man constructed Il roadway,
two feet in length, of metal, and divided
this into two parallel paths, separated by
high partition. One OF the paths he
painted red and the other blue; and at
their end, in plain view, he put morscl
of rich cake. Then he set an ant at the
beginning of the roadway. The ant at
once made for the cake over the red
path, whereupon the student turned on i
lamp under his mechanism and heated
the path to an uncomfortable degree
The ant kept on, and finally secured the
cake, but on its return ii must have told
itself that ii had had mighty uncom
Portable journey. Several hours later tn,
student brought it out again, another
morsel OF cake being set at the end ot
the roadway. The ant thought mo
ment. and then started for the cake Over
the blue path. 1t remembered that the
red one had been hot. To prove still
more conclusively that il remembered
the student next blocked up the blue
path, whereupon the ant did without tn,

Ararat.

Mount Ararat, on which sight moan
taineers have just had n narrow escape
from death, attracted the attention Of
explorers, at an early date. Sir John
Vaudeville estimated that it was seven
miles high. Tournefort, the French
botanist, attempted the ascent early in
the Eighteenth century, failed, and de
scribed the mountain as zone of the most
dismal and disagreeable sights on the
face Of the earth" A little later a Per-
sian Shah offered large reward to any
one who should get up, but no one
claimed it. Ultimately, the first ascent
was accomplished by climber who gave
his name to the Parrot Spite of Monte
Rosa. The second ascent was made by
one Sparsky Atonomof in 1884 and the
third by one Herr Abich, in 1916. The
first English ascent was made by Mr..
Bryce, in 1876, and since that date as
cents have been tolerably frequent

The celery as modest seems
