Acoustics and Heat
From Nineteenth Century.

From Nineteenth Century.
At present the phenomena of physics are.
as it were. divided into two camps: acous-
tics and heat, which are explained from the
laws of mechanics; and electricity, with its
subdivision light, which has not been salts
factorily thus explained. For half CEN
fury We have tried to explain electricity
mechanically, and may be said TO have
failed: let us now try to explain mechanics
electrically, and see where that will lead
u.s.
Perhaps II. is a mere matter of words
whether we say that all matter is electrical
ly charged or that all matter is modified
electricity But it may lead to the most
far-reaching conclusions if, In explaining
phenomena, the laws of electricity should
be taken as the premises from which we
start instead of, as hitherto, the inertia of
matter. And. inasmuch the more nearly
any explanation approaches the truth. the
better does it point the way to fresh knowl-
edge, the fact that so radical a change may
be about to take place is one of the reasons
why there is a feeling Of expectancy in the
air. 1t is hoped that light may be thrown
upon universal gravitation and other OBJ
scure problems. and it is suspected that
science is Trembling on the verge of SOME
thing great.

scythes as Church Ornaments.

From the Christian Age.
At first sight the scythe is a strange
ornament for a church, but there is nothing
incongruous in these curious agricultural
implements seen In the parish church of
ST. Mary's. at Horncastle. in Lincolnshire.
Thirteen of these blades are nailed above
the door in the north chapel. At one time
the blades numbered forty or fifty, but ow-
ing to rust and decay many of them have
been lost Each of the scythes is about a
yard in length.
The general belief Is that these blades
were placed in the church in commemora-
ton of the zeal of peasants who welded
them in defense of their faith in the rebel
lion knowns as 1.-THE Pilgrimage of
Grace" which had its rise at Louth in
1886. When the people saw the ruins OF
their churches and abbeys they rose in re-
volt, and. arming themselves with the in
struments of husbandry,. such as scythes,
they went forth to encounter the enemy.
They were beaten and dispersed, but in the
eyes OF their countrymen they were heroes
and the rude implements with which they
fought were deemed worthy of an abiding
place in the old church where the peasants
had worshiped.

SEVEN AND THIRTEEN.
The Most Popular Numbers In a Mans
Mind

From the New Orleans T:mes-D Democrat.
ASK a man to pick out some number
between one and ten and you can tell him
nine times out of ten what number he has
selected. though his selection is made
mentally" said man who is fond of the
odd things, ''and when you come to think
of it the task of naming the correct num-
Der is not a difficult one. In the course
of an hour the other day asked ten men
to think of a certain number-any num-
Der between one and ten-and l would
tell them what number they had fixed
their mind on. In nine cases out of ten
was correct missing 1t only once The
minds of nine of the persons selected the
number seven and one of them selected
nine 1t is not difficult to understand why
the mind should run to the number seven.
1t is the most natural thing in the world
for the mind to select seven. Even In the
case of the man who fixed his mind on
the number nine, he told me when II was
all over that his mind had first run to
seven, but he quickly changed to nine
without knowing just why 1t was that he
changed Seven is the most prominent
figure between one and ten. 1t Is the most
popular number in the line and Is associ-
ated with more things than any other
number and 1T is quite reasonable that
the mind should light on seven. i made
another test the other day with five per-
sons, asking each of them to write some
number between one and ten and give II
to sixth person. When the slips had
been handed to- the sixth man / said,
Seven is the number on each of the slips
Correct said the man to whom they
had been handed, and the five men were
a bit bewildered for the moment by the
fact that they had all hit upon the same
number and that l was able to tell what
the number was. 1t would be quite as
easy to name a number between ten and
twenty, though 1 have made no tests
along this line. I dare say that thirteen
would be the first number to fash In the
mind simply because IL Is the most
talked-of and the only number between
ten and twenty that has the widest as
sociation. So you can tell there is no trick
about it and IL dossn't require any knowl-
edge of the occult PHILOSOPHERS"

Banana Crop Every Fifteen Days.

From the Mexican Herald.
There is evidently an erroneous idea
abroad concerning the harvesting of the
banana CROP said Edward NJ. Watson,
who has been for seven years on planta-
ton in Honduras.
The statement that four or five crops of
bananas are harvested year is entirely in
correct crop is harvested on an average
of every fifteen days throughout the year
Each thrifty banana plant has many suck
ers or stalks growing from single root at
the same time. One or more punches of
the ripening fruit is cut from a single stalk.
while the other stalks growing from the
same root are left untouched, and in fifteen
days another of the stalks is sllorn of its
fruit. This process continues necessarily
during the year. On July and August ii is
necessary to cut off the ripening punches
every ten days, while in December and jan
uary about once a month is sufficient the
average throughout the year being practi-
cally fifteen days
