He has found that certain gases, such

action Of sunlight into nuclei, upon
which cloudy condensation can take
place. Accordingly, although dust e
ordinarily necessary for cloud fOrma-

be added that when his original conclu-

caused a monumental tomb to be
built on a piece of land adjoining the
cemetery. In this tomb he had for 20
years past spent several hours a day,

it as bed, while he invariably had his

The German emperor has entered
upon q new phase of his development,
Il we are to believe the statement
that he was lately seen reading the
newspapers in a railway train with the
help Of q pince-nez. Nor is this to be
wondered at when we remember the
lament once made by the kaiser him
self, who, speaking of his school days
At Cassel, remarked that out of a class
Of 20 mo fewer than Is Of his fellow
pupils wore spectacles, while two of
these, with their glasses on, could not
even see the length Of the table" As
compared with other nations. the
Germans may be described as a spec-
tacle-Wearing people, and there can
be no doubt that the main cause of
their defective sight is the peculiar
character Of their type, which is most
trying to the eyes. The present en-
peror, no less than Bismarck. has al
ways protested on patriotic grounds
against the substitution of the Roman
for the TeutOnic, or black letter, char
acter in print, and both have had to
suffer equally for their Chauvinism.-

PertraItI on Tombatone..

Marble dealers are taking q keen
interest in an enterprise, which had
fits origin in Denmark, for reproducing
the pictures Of dead persons on their
tombstOnes. They say that it IL very
probable that the movement win
spread to America in q short time.
The Observation-Disclosures craze
started among the Danes a. q result of
the use of artificial marble. A Danish
master builder succeeded In producing
q stone Of such delicate tints that Il
was impossible to distinguish It from
the natural product. The imitation
of the more expensive species was
found to cost far less than the natural,
and IL made in any form deSired-col-
umnS, plain or huted, and capitalists
readily as fat slabs. The durability Is
said TO be as great as that of the gen
uine marble. It was found that Il
was possible to reproduce, by carving,
q picture Of the deceased person, IN
the imitation marble, much easier and
far cheaper than the work could be
done with the genuine article.-Phila-

ARrIdre Of Comna.

Engineers, as most of US know, are
famous for their ready resources in
emergencies. During the recent Chi
nese war it was necessary to get a
number Of troops across a river in q
great hurry, to prevent the enemy
taking an important position. There
was no bridge and there were no
boats. An engineer took a detach-
ment to a village near by, raided it
and came back with a number of
coolies, each carrying one Of these
large painted collins which every
Chlnaman keeps in his house. With
these as pontoOnA, a bridge was i'm
provised, and the men got across in
time, thereby saving the loss Of
much time, ammunition and, per-
hsps, valuable liVes.-N. Y. Sun.

The governor of the ancient citadel
Of Aquila, contemplating repairs in
the subterrRnean arrangements of
the old pile, a wall was broken
through, whereupOn an ancient death
chamber was discovered full of bodies
of men and women, many of them
wearing uniforms and fine dresses.
The bodies being shut of from air.
were perfectly preserved; there were
no collins. Some of the eorpses leaned
against the walls, others lay in heaps
on the floor. Investigation showed
that the dead were prisoners of war
during the French invasion of 1928, and
that they were murdered by the gar
riBOn or by the French when the
citadel was taken. Many of the
bodies show stab and shot wounds;
others had knives and stilettos stick
ing in their throat or breast. One
hundred and forty-fve bodies were re-
covered, among them many belonging
to noble Italian families, according to
papers found in their clothes.-Lon-
