Bells and rhunderstorms.

An instance Of the absurdity OF some
Of the notions held by our ancestors
was the notion that the ringing Of the
church bells had counteracting effect
In a thunderstorm. 1t was supposed
that the vibration of the air caused by
the movement of the bells resulted In
the dissipation Of the electric fiuid In
the air. The belief was so common at
one time that the bells were rung as
soon as signs of an approaching thun-
derstorm were seen. Science now holds
a contrary opinion. Not only does the
sound have no possible effect on the
air, but the vibration caused by the
sound of q bell upon cloud charged
with electricity may cause It to dis
charge its contents upon the ringer of
the bell In the church tower.

Hnndvrttfnr ON Iron.

1t was an accident that led to tho
discovery Of the method Of transfer
ring handwriting to iron. An iron
founder while experimenting with mol
ten iron under different conditions ac
cidentally dropped ticket into mold.
He presently found that the type Of
the ticket was transferred to the iron
in distinct characters. Following up
the idea which this fact suggested, he
procured heatproof ink, with which
he wrote invertedly on ordinary white
paper. This paper was introduced into
the mold before the molten iron was
poured In. When the mold cooled the
paper had been consumed by the heat,
but the ink, which had remained In
tact, had left a clear impression on the
iron.

THE MAGNOLIA.
In the HimaIayas Are Found the
Most Magnificent Specimens.

Most Magnificent Specimens.
The magnolia, so called from Pierre
Magnol, professor of botany at Mont
pellier in the seventeenth century, Is
genus embracing fourteen species OF
remarkably handsome shrubs delicious
ly scented and far more hardy than Is
commonly supposed. They are very
widely distributed in China, japan and
the Himalayas and In Mexico and the
United States.
The old world species seem to have
been the earliest cultivated, the Chi
nese preserving the buds as well as
using them incidentally and to season
their rice. The purple fowered Japa-
nese plant was discovered by Kemp
fer in 1890 and introduced into Eng
land in 1709 The Himalayas possess
three varieties, among them the most
magnificent Of all, Magnolia Campbelli,
q conspicuous object in the scenery of
Darjeeling, eighty feet high. twelve
feet in girth. with flowers ten inches
across.
North America has given many dis
tinct varieties, among them the Gu
cumber or umbrella tree. the beaver

Some of the Things We Get From
This One Time Nuisance.
When coal gas was first introduced
as an illuminant for large towns the
tar which is condensed from the gas
was looked upon as a nuisance. How
ever, chemists discovered that coal tar
was an exceedingly complicated COM
pound and lent itself admirably to the
full chemicals. So we find today that
all the various brilliant and beautiful
dyes employed for coloring various
kinds of fabrics are produced from
this substance.
Coal tar also furnishes the basis for
several kinds Of medicines, such as tri-
