Five Angels on a Needle Point.

EIt0 AMkCAA On u mcclure E-OAMIs
1t is related of the late DR.. Robert
son that on one occasion he was in
the company of some theological stu
dents. They, fresh from the study of
church history, were laughing together
over the old scholastic question, How
many angels are supported on the
point of needle? They were surpris-
ed when DR.. Robertson turned to them
and said, well, how many do yeu
Think" As no one answered he went
on, with decision. "Well. I'll tell you
FIVE" And he justified his answer with
the following story:
One very stormy night he was COM
ing home late and noticed light in the
window of a room where he knew a
poor woman lived whose husband was
at sea. He wondered what kept her up
SO late and went to see. He found her
hard at work sewing by her lamp,
while her five rosy children were sound
asleep beside her. There" said DR..
Robertson. was a needle supporting
five angels"

Radio Active substances.

Different solid bodies-copper, plati-
mum, lead, glass, wax, paper, etc.-be-
come radio active when they are placed
In closed vessel along with one Of the
radio active salts of barium or, still
better, immersed in a solution of such
salt. The induced radiation is of the
same character as that of the original
salt-its rays are deviated in the mag
netic field. If tube containing a gas
under low pressure has current of
electricity passed through it. the gas
becomes luminous when the pressure is
low enough, as is well known. Air at
33 millimeters pressure becomes lu-
minous when SO treated. for example.
When radio active substance is held
near to such tube, the luminosity be-
gins at higher pressure, which for
air is A millimeters. The color of the
light varies in the two cases.

Arago, the great French scientist
was never seen with decoration Oh
his breast. He valued honors slightly
One evening Leverrier, the astronomer
called on him on his way to dine with
a minister. He expressed wish to
appear decorated with an order, to
which he was entitled, having received
the official notice of the honor, al
though he had not as yet the decora
ton itself.
"Open that drawer" said Arago
"and take whatever you want"
In that drawer were all the crosses
and ribbons which kings and emperors
confer.
While Arago wished above every
thing to promulgate science and tc
make his researches useful, he did NOT
attempt to identify himself forever
with his discoveries by writing books
He had no time for writing, but con
tented himself with noting the results
Of his work In the record of the bureau
Of longitude or announcing it verbally
to the academy.

Natural Fountain Pen.

"All woodsmen know" says Paul
Martin in La Vie Scientifque that
pine needles grow in pairs in the same
sheath and that when placed side by
side the sharp pointed ends are exact
ly opposite. Fasten these two needles
together by a thread quite near the
pointed end. and you will have a pen
with two sharp nibs, ready to write
whatever you please. AS penholder
insert the pen into hollow twig, let
ting the points stick out about a cent?
meter (half inch). Dip your pen into an
inkstand, letting it remain for a short
time in the ink. The ink will rise by
capillarity in the tube formed by the
junction of the two needles and will
form reserve of liquid sufficient for
the writing of twenty lines. The pen is
fine, simple and antirusting."

The Whip Tree.

In the island of Jamaica grows a
tree, with the botanic name Daphne
lagetto, from the branches Of which
native workmen make peculiarly strong
and excellent whips, which have the
handle and lash all of piece. The
handle consists Of part of the stem
retaining the bark. For the lash the
stem is deprived of bark and then split
into strips, which are woven together
In a flexible cord six or seven feet in
length. The proper taper is afforded
by detaching more and more Of the
strips as the end Of the lash is APP
preached.

One Cause of Blackheaas

Blackheads are often largely due to
poorness of blood. For this reason
anRmic people are generally troubled
with them, and in their case the gen.
eral health must be improved before a
cure can be effected. Constipation also
tends to produce pimples and black
heads. People who suffer from these
should eat largely Of fruit. both ripe
and stewed. and avoid starchy food,
such as potatoes and bread. This SIM
pie emollient will soften the skin with
out making it greasy and is excellent
for wiping over ones face after BIZ
cycle ride or, If used warm, after be-
ing out in a keen wind: Take three
parts milk and one part cucumber
juice. heat almost to boiling and skim
before using. This does not keep long,
so it is useless to make a large guam
tity at time.

In some Of the Swiss valleys the inhab
itants are all afflicted with goitre or ''thick
neck" Instead of regarding this as de-
formity they seem to think it natural
feature of physical development, and
tourists passing through the valleys are
sometimes jeered by the goitrous inhabit-
ants, because they are without this often
sive swelling. Thus form of disease may
become so common that it is regarded as a
natural and necessary condition of life.
1t is so, to large extent, with what are
called diseases of women. Every woman
suffers more or less from irregularity,
liberation, facilitating drains, or female
weakness, and this suffering is so common
and SO universal that many women accept
it as condition natural and necessary to
their sex But it is condition unna-
tural as it is unnecessary. The use of DR..

habit puts its marks on them, as the custom
