There Is some thing almost lifelike in

attain their maximum stature ell at
leap. The first great uplift Of the Sier-s
ras, Professor Lawson thinks, elevated
the range about $500 feet. Even that
was not done at a bound. It took time
while the gigantic pressures were at
work. Vast periods also elapsed while
the growing mountains swelled up-
ward to their elimination of Ia 600 or
$1,000 feet. Perhaps they are still

Bees Used In War,

There are at least two recorded in
stances in which bees have been used
~ weapons of defense in war. When
the Roman general Lucullus was war
ring against Mithridates. he sent a
force against the city Of Themiscyra.
Az they besieged the walls the ihhabit-
ants threw down on them myriads of
swarms Of bees. These at once began
an attack. which resulted in the rails,
ing Of the siege. These doughty little
insects were also once used with equal
success in England. Chester was be-
sieged by the Danes and Norwegians,
but it's Saxon defenders threw down on
them the beehives Of the town, and
the siege was soon raised.

STAINED GLASS WORK.
An Art In Which Methods Have Not
Changed Much In Centuries.

An Art In Which Methods Have Not
Changed Much In Centuries.
The twentieth century American
stained glass maker follows without
important variation the simple meth
DDS Of the French monk Of eight CEN
turtles ago. The first requisite is the
design. The artist makes small wa
ter color sketch to show the general
design and color scheme, accompany
Ing it with detailed studies. From this
two large drawings or cartoons are
made, the exact size of the desired
window. One cartoon shows where the
leads will be placed-the thin strips
Of lead, followed ON both sides and
looking in a transverse section like the
letter H, which form the framework
to bind the pieces of glass together.
Another drawing gives the size and
shape of each piece Of glass. This car
toon is cut into its component pieces by
a pair Tor triplet Of three bladed scis-
sors, which leave between their paral-
lei blades space sufficient. for the
leads. These cut out patterns are put
together again on large glass easel,
to which they are attached by wa x, and
the spaces between are blacked IN to
give the effect of the leads.
The easel is then placed against a
window where the light can stream
through it. The artist or his substitute
replaces each paper pattern on the easel
by piece Of glass of exactly the same
size, cut from sheet of glass of the
color called for by the color sketch.
The sketch is not followed exactly;
experiment with the actual glass will
suggest improvements. To a greater
or less extent this stained glass is sup
plemented by painted glass, on which
the colors are fired as in china paint
ing. When all the pieces have been
cut they are transferred to the lead
ing" drawing, the flexible leads are
twisted into shape and soldered at the
joints and a special cement applied to
make the whole water tight. The win
dow is now complete, ready to be put
In position, where it is made secure by
copper wires fastened to the trans.
verse bars of iron.-Booklovers' Maya

BALLOON SPIDERS.

1hey Voyage at Great Heights Over
Sea N Well ~ Land.
Given a steady breeze and free
course, there is practically no limit to
the distance which ballooning spider
may traverse. The writer has taken
orb weavers from their snuggeries un-
der divers sheltering projections at the
highest attainable point on tie dome
Of St Peters in Rome, whittier they
had doubtless been carried by the wind
when younglings. One may see decks
Of gossamer afloat at far greater
heights. Seafaring folk often note
spider balloons speeding by them at
sea or entangled upon various parts Of
the vessel. Darwin, in his famous
voyage of the Beagle. when sixty
miles from land saw great numbers of
small spiders with their webs. When
they first came in contact with the rig
ging they were seated upon threads,
and while hanging to these the slight
est breath Of air would bear them out
Of sight. Thus, though so far from
land, the wee voyagers were still NOV
ing on over the main.
A steamship captain told the writer
Of. like observation made by him.
While sailing along the eastern coast
Of South America during the month of
March his ship was covered with innu-
merable spider webs. He was then
more than 200 miles from land, about
400 miles south Of the equator. The
wind was blowing from the continent.
THE spiders seemed like elongated
balls" said the captain, with a sort of
umbrella canopy above them. They
settled upon the sails and rigging and
finally disappeared as they came. You
know" he added. that it Is not un-
usual for birds to be blown out to sea.
How much easier for a spider. provid.
ed he has the means to keep himself
suspended in the air."-H. G. McCook
Ill. D., in Harpers Magazine.

THE ORlFLAMB.

4 Standard That Has Played q Con.
spicuous Part In History.
The Carlovingian standard was real
II no other than the orifiamb, which
has played 20 conspicuous a part in
French history, but was not formally
adopted until 1882, in the reign of
Philip I. 1t consisted Of a red or GRIM
son flag, mountd on A gilded staff, the
dag being cut into three ''vandykes,"
b represent tongues Of fire." with a
silken tassel between each. "
The old romance writer's pretended
that the infidel was blinded by merely
looking upon it. In the Roman de
Garin" the Saracens are made to ex-
claim, IF We only see it, we shall be
dead men," and Froissart af1lrms that
a. soon as it was unfurled at Ros-
becque the fog vanished from the
French line Of battle, leaving their
enemies still shrouded In darkness.
Thus red, the color which the church
has consecrated to her; martyrs, be-
came, in it's turn the color Of the
French kings. They wore It on their
coats Of arms through the whole pc
riod of the crusades and as late as the
closing decade Of the fourteenth GEN.
tury were still faithful to this ''glori-
GUS blazon." -.
The. famous Du Guesclin, fighting
against the English in Potion, wore
the red cross, while his adversaries
wore the white. But after the great
defeat at Agincourt in 1415 the French
kings abandoned the orifamb. because
It had been assumed by Henry v. and
his successors, and adopted white as a
national color when England had dis
carded it. This is a curious but little
known historical fact.-All the Year

In the early days of Methodism in the
west circuit rider, If he had large
lield to cover, was sometimes permitted
to have colleague, who was frequent
" young minister, just beginning to
preach. The Rev. John Thompson was
a circuit rider IN somewhat thinly
settled portion of central Illinois more
than fifty years ago. The colleague as
signed to him was Brother James
Smith. an excellent young man, but
with very little experience as a
preacher. 4.
One Sunday Mr.. Thompson had an
appointment at a small meeting house
In the country, but having severe
cold he asked his young assistant to 60
along with him and preach the sermon,
and the latter, as in duty bound, obeyed
orders. 80.
Brother Smith had never undertaken
to preach in the presence Of his more
experienced colaborer, and when, after
the opening services, he rose and gave
out his text he was visibly embar-
raised. So.
He stammered through a few SEN
fences, hesitated, made another at

An electric shock could not have op-
Grated quicker. Brother Smith rose
TO his feet again, his hesitation all
gone, and in ringing tones he preached
sermon that is still remembered by
aged survivors Of that old time congre-
cation as the most fervid and eloquent
discourse they ever heard so young a
man deliver.-Youth's Companion.
