whence Comes Electricity?

At a time when electricity is rapidly
transforming the face OF the globe,
when it has already in great measure
annihi1ated distance and bids fair to
abolish darkness for us, it is curious
to notice how completely ignoraM
'the plain man'' remains as to the later
developments of electrical theory.
Some recent correspondence has led
me to think that a vague notion that
electricity is q fluid which in some
mysterious way flows through a tele-
graph wire like water through a pipe,
is about as far as he has got; and If
we add to this some knowledge of
what he calls electric Shocks" we
should probably exhaust his ideas on
the subject. Yet this is not to be
wondered. at. Even the most in
structed physicists a do nothing but
guess what electricity is, and the only
point on which they agree is as to
what it is not There is. in fact, a
perfect %concensus of opinion among
scientific writer's that tits not a fluid,
j. G., a continuous stream of ~ponderable
matter, as is liquid or a gas; and that
it is not a form Of energy, as is heat.
Outside this limit the scientific imag-
ination is at liberty to roam where it
1isteth, and although it has used this
liberty to a considerable extent, 40
definite result has followed up to the
present time.-The Academy.

rhe Height of tho At,nosphere.

One thing may be said about the new
atmosphere. That Of old was supposed
to be not over sixty miles high. Its IA
ito of decrease Of density seemed to
prove this. The atmosphere is now be-
lieyed to be fully 500 miles high. This
belief is based upon a study of the fall
of meteorites. These free wanderers
of space plunge into the upper air at SO
great a speed that their friction, even
with the extremely rare gas at that
high altitude, soon heats them to incan-
descence, and they fame into light.
They have been observed to fash out
in this way at a height of owe 100
miles. At this elevation the air must
be SO exceedingly rare al to render it
certain that friction with several hum
bred miles of it would be needed to
heat q meteor to the incandescent point.
From this it is estimated that the up
per limit of the atmosphere cannot be
less than 500 miles above the surface.
1t may be much more. The air may
extend upward as far as the force of
gravity is capable of overcoming its
centrifugal force. which steadily in
creases with height. How high that is
40 one can tell.-Charles Morris, in Lip
pincOtt.

California Figs.

AS an illustration of the curiously
diversified character Of the work of the
agricultural stations, it is Of interest
to note that the California station has
been for over ten years experimenting
in fig culture, sixty different varieties
having been tested In that period. It
has been connected Indirectly with the
National Government in tie study of
the Smyrna fig. II has been demon
strated that this fig, to reach its high
est form, must be fert.iized by a tiny
insect which. in the Old World fig re-
gions goes on It's enliciling journeys
from the wild caprifg flower to the do
nestle fig tree, bearing the pollen
which gives to the ripened fig its pc
culiar richness and favor. The promise
now is that, through tile introduetioD
of the insect, the choicest European
dgs are to be raised with profit in Cali
fornia.-W. S. HaIu GOD, in s~eribner's.

Value of Sunday Rest.

An important contribution to scien-
tife data bearing on the necessity of
Sunday rest from labor has been made
by a Pennsylvania railroad official. He
selected two groups of laborers from
the working force OF q certain freight
house controlled by his road. He
measured the working capicity of each
group in terms of tons handled daily
for a week. On Sunday one group
rested; the ether worked as usual. On
the following Monday the men who
had been continuously at service
showed a, decrease of ten per cent. in
efficiency as compared with the pre-
vious Monday. and each day after
their comparative delinquency became
greater. The men who had their Sun
day respite, on the other hand, were as
valuable to the company the second
week as the frst.-Duluth Herald.

Napoleon Bonapafte's will. among

parallel to that Of Cecil Rhodes in the
fortune it b~equeathed. He was surely
the richest exile since the world be-
gan. From his lonely home al ST.
Helena he bequeathed to his relatives
and friends $40,000,000. He had been
rich, in gold as IN power, beyond the
dreams Of avarice, and there must
have passed through his hands a pri-
vate fortune such as mortal man has
rarely dreamed Of. His exactions from
conquered States have been set down
at nearly 1915. 600, 900. which is, after

CORPSE TAKES WEIGHT.
Strange Case Which is Exciting Commens
in New York.

Strange SaSS w 11AOH AE ASAUA
in New York.
For some time there has been specu-
lation as to whether the body Of Elmer
S. Bunday, who was a United States
Circuit Court Judge, was petrlned.
Though at tie time of his death, Eve
years ago, says the New York Tribune
tie Judge weighed only a little more
than 100 pounds, it took six or seven
men to handle the coffin recently at
the Morayian Cemetery, where the
body is now in the receiving vault,
awaiting reburial. The present weight
is said to be more than 800 pounds
The theory of ~petrifaction was reject
ed by experts who visited the Vaul
and examined the body not long ago,
but there is no doubt that the body
has undergone marked and curious
changes, and the examination which
was made showed also that the color
had changed to almost the shade OF
bronze.
"The body could hardly have become
petriied in so short a time as nve
years. said Frank H. Chase, an au-
thority on embalming, "as p"etrification
is always accompanied by great age.
But an increase in weight might easily
occur if the body were in a grave,
where waters charged with mineral
substances percolated. 1 can see no
way in which the increase of weight
could take place If the coffin We're all"
tight.
''But1Ke probability is that it was
nsSTt is extremely difficult to make
a metal coffin alright, and unless water
could percolate to the body there is no
means by which it could gain weight.
"When a body is embalmed, too,
there is a gradual to%ughening of the
tissues. accompanied by a disappear
ance Of the watery substances, so that
in time weighs is lost instead of gained.
A body weighing 125 to $50 pounds at
death would in a year or so weigh no
more than twenty-five pounds. You
can lift a mummy easily with II
hand, but to account for an increase i'll
weight it is necessary to suppose that
mineral substances have been added.
In a perfectly dry grave no increase in
weight could take place. This is sim
ply due to an accretion of mineral mat
ter, and such cases are by no means
unprecedented"

AS for National Guardianship He De.
cIares He Mill Call Next
Convention to Order.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Senator Han
ma authorizes a vigorous denial of
the long string stories going the
rounds lately about his proposed re-
tirement from the senate at the close
Of his present term, and from the
Craftsmanship OF the republican ma
tional committee. He says he will
again be a candidate for senator. and
that the people Of Ohio must retire
national craftsmanship rumor he says:
Neither will I retire as chairman
Of the republican national committee
until after l have called the next ma
tional convention to order. If the new
national committee, to be selected by
the delegates to that convention, does
not ask me to become it's chairman,
l will not have to pass upon the sub
ject of my retirement. If it does
tender me the Craftsmanship, then l
shall have to decide whether l will
accept it,"
Democratic newspapers have been
busy with these Hanna stories and
their purpose is SO apparent that the
General public should not be misled.
The rumor that Clarkson or Payne is
10 succeed Hanna as a political man.
ager for Roosevelt is also democratic
in origin and has no foundation. The
relationship between Payne and Han
ma for years in the national committee
has been very intimate and it is un-
derstood to be the wish of beth Payne
and Roosevelt that Hanna, who is the
best national chairman any political
party in this country has had for many
years, remain for another four years.
If he does not remain, it will be for
reasons personal to himself, not to
anything the president will do. The
excuse for bringing Clarkson again to
the fore was his appearance scme
weeks ago in connection with the
southern negro question. There is
not the slightest demand among the
presidents immediate friends or on
the outside for Clarkson's political
recrudescence.

fairs were discussed briefly at the
cabinet meeting today. Secretary
Hay has had encouraging reports
from Havana, where Minister Squires
and General Bliss are working in har-
mony with a special commission des-
ignated by President Palma to draw a
satisfactory reciprocity treaty. Ven
ezuelan conditions were also touched
upon, and especially with reference
to the plans of some New York finan-
ciers to relieve V~enezuela's embar-
easements by floating a loan. The
government would be glad to see this
done if it can be accomplished with
out involving the United States in
any liability for the repayment Of any
debt, or place the government under
the obligation to coerce Venezuela.
1t has already been made perfectly
clear, tc the promoters of this plan
that the state department could not
bind itself by any promises in this
matter and this attitude of the de-
partment was thoroughly approved
by the members of the cabinet.
