SENSATIONAL ATTEMPTS AT
ARSON.

The young ladies dormitory,
known as "Rucker Hail." at
tached to Georgetown College,
was set fire to five times in the
last few days. Every time, ex-
cept once, the flames broke out in
the beds of the young ladies.
There are about 80 young ladies
lodged in the building and, of
course, a perfect panic has pre-
vailed. Suspicion points to one
of the inmates, but who it is has
not been given out.

The Black of the Eye.

The invariable blackness OF the pupil
OF the eye was a puzzle to sclentihc
men until Professor Helmholtz showed
II TO be the necessary effect OF refrac'
lion. Sufficient rays are reflected from
the bottom of the eye to render visible
the parts there situated, but since these
reflected rays In emerging from the
eye must traverse the same ooula
media through which they passed In
entering the eye It is evident that they
must undergo the same refracuoa
which they underwent as entering rays
only In an opposite direction. The re-
suit Of this is that the paths OF the
emerging and entering rays coincide
and the former will therefore return TO
the source whence az incidental rays
they originally started. There is moth
ing In the pupil to reflect light-in fact
It resembles q window looking into q
dark room.

In St. Petersburg housekeeping costs

can be bought without bargaining, ana
those who are skillful in the art have
the advantage over their neighbors. III

of profit; otherwise he simply roos you.
Indeed. he cannot we'll do otherwise

ask for his wares from 80 to 4O per
cent more than he expects. He himseii
would be astonished If you would take
him at his word. Then, again, OF course.
a great deal depends on the choice OF
shops. One of the most satisfactory
WAYS of buying provisions is not to WIS.,

The First "Canard."

The first use of the word canard
(meaning a duck In the sense of hoax
is attributed TO Norbert Cornelissen,
who, to give sly hit at the ridiculous
pieces of intelligence In public Journals,
circulated the report that an interesting
experiment had just been made calcu-
lated to prove the extraordinary vorac-
ity Of ducks. Twenty were placed TO-
gether, and then one OF them was kill
ed and cut up into pieces, feathers and
all, and thrown to the other nineteen,
who greedily devoured 1t. The process
was repeated until, as was averred, the
last duck had eaten the whole Of hls
nineteen companions. The story ran
the round of all the journals In Europe
and so established the appropriateness
Of the term canard for hoax.
