FIRE AND AIR.

The Ancients Recognized the Intf-
mntc Relations Between Them.
The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized. seeing
that experience soon taught that air
was necessary for FIRE. The expert
ment Of burning n candle in a closed
vessel, 10Y so familiar to every school
boy, is a very old one, and the inhu-
ence Of a blast Of air on n furnace had
been probably noticed from a very re-
mote period. By some it was affirmed
to be the food Of fire, while by others
the same belief was embodied in the
phrase, "Air nourishes fire"
Again, it was long ago observed that
inter, a substance well known to the
chemical philosophers of the past. could
produce intense ignition. 1t was hence
inferred that, since inter possessed this
property, 1t necessarily followed that
the two substances resembled each 9TH
or in composition. According to Rob-
ert Boyle, the air contained volatile
inter-" while Lord Bacon held that nlr
contained Il volatile, crude and windy
spirit" and thunder and lightning
were supposed to be due to the pres
ence Of minute particles Of this inter
din'used through air.
The important bearing of such obser-
vations is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which Is one Of the chief constitu-
ents of air and the one to which II
owes its power OF supporting combus-
ton, also forms the largest elementary
constituent of inter and is likewise the
source Of the power possessed by that
body of supporting combustion.
Tho action Of heat ON metals in caus-
ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Car
dan, a philosopher who lived during
| the sixteenth century, in noticing tho
increase in weight that lead undergoes
when heated in air, attributed it TO the
gas In the air, which feeds flame and
which rellindles a body presenting an
ignited point.

a characteristic Of the Koreans
which has helped 70 their undolng as
a nation was the fact that they were
guided wholly by precedent. when a

Ing Illustration of this national trait
was furnished in the matter Of their
wearing apparel. which was changed
according to an ancient calendar and
without any regard 10 the temperature
OF the day.
Korea is n land Of great extremes Of
heat and cold. and the man who draft

is changed, though a Chinese sage, II
IS said, was not a SUCCESS rs a weather
prophet, unless, as some maintain. the

may be soft and balmy. pads out his
white garments with six or seven
thicknesses Of cotton wadding, until
the thin man becomes n fat man and
the stout party swells up to such enor-
nous size as to block up the streets

They Are a Separate People, q Tribe
Quite by Themselves.
"Such as wake on the night and sleep
on the day and haunt taverns and ale
houses and no man wot from whence
they come nor whittier they CO." So
quantity describes an old English stat
ute against the gypsies. Ever since the
year 1880, says n writer in the London
Standard, Great Britain has tried to get
rid Of this strange people without APP
probable success. Every year or so
some county Is up in arms against
them, yet they persist In returning and
apparently thrive under persecution
The gypsies are popularity supposed
to come originally from Egypt, as their
name indicates, but their origin is trac-
ed farther east than the land of the
Nile. Wherever they come from, they
are a separate people. a tribe quite by
themselves.
They appeared in England about
1905, and twenty-six years later Henry
VIII. ordered them to leave the coun-
try In sixteen days, taking all their
goods with them. AN outlandish peo-
pie" he called them. The act was in
efectual, and in 1862 Elizabeth framed
n sim more stringent law, and many
were hanged.

says one old writer, "yet notwith-

became an intolerable nuisance. Both

against the gypsles was the mild law
that any person telling fortunes shall

Cruelty OF the Women.

Cruelty OF the Women.
Women Of ancient, luxurious Rome
used to cat parsley as a mouth cleanser.
Honey boiled IN wine ana nnlseed was
also n sweetener Of the breath. md
pastils Of myrtle were employed for the
same purpose. Silver tongs and knives
were employed In caring for the nails.
No woman Of social eminence cut her
own finger nails. Those who had not
skilled slaves employed BARRIERS. Per-
lection in these respects was one of the
thirty beauties attributed to Helen Of
Troy. Great pains were bestowed on
the feet. for Il was considered that the
breeding was betrayed by them rs cas-
lily As by the hands. They were always
much I'm evidence, the sandals worn not
hiding them. Long, tapering fingers
were highly priced. Various kinds Of
herb decoctions were employed to beau
tlfy the fingers. Pliny gives recipes for
removing any undesired substances
from the nails.
Asses milk contributed to the white
ness Of the women's skin. 1t was some
times poured into the bath and the
whole body laycd In It, and sometimes
the hands aud face were sponged with
II from n silver basin, the soft linen
towel completing the process. The hair
was delicatcly scented. and all kinds Of
washes and burnishers were applied to
II. 1t took many slaves to bring the
tresses into the classic bands or high
pyramids which were the fashion at
various times. Perfumes were not only
applied to hair. hands. clothes and the
person generally, but pervaded the
rooms. which were hung with garlands
and decorated with blooms OF many
kinds. The dresses of Roman matrons
were made brilliant with various proc
esses Of pressing and smoothing, ma
chimes beirg employed for the purpose.
Though most refined in the duties of
the toilet. the women of that day were
barharic in their cruelty. Woe be to the
poor slave who failed to follow her mis-
tress' command. She was whipped by
the public 1agellator II she did not fall
n prey to the personal fury of her mis-
trcss, who would hurl ut her victim the

The story of an Angry FIDDLER and a
Dancing bridge.

The story OF IN Angry Fiddler and a
Dancing bridge.
The old Sixth street bridge was a
suspension bridge, and in connection
Herewith a story used to be told. Ev-
erybcdy knows that soldiers In crossing
n suspension bridge must break step
and bands are not allowed to play
marches because Of the cumulative
force Of the vibrations, which are apt
20 either destroy the bridge completely
or crystalline the iron cables. Now,
sound IS vibration. and this explana-
ton. not very scientifically put here, is
the basis Of the story. remembering
that every object is supposed to have 4
keynote. which when struck on q mu-
steal instrument cyokes responsive vi
brations in the said object.
The story goes that many years ago
an old man carrying n fiddle in n case
once started across the bridge without
paying toll. He was called back by the
tollkceper. protested his inability to
pay, but was not allowed to cross.
Threatening vengeance. the old fiddler
seated himself on the wharf under the
Allegheny end Of the bridge and began
to scrape away on his fiddle for hours.
apparently trying all sorts OF notes,
half notes and combinations of notes
and chords. Suddenly he seemed to
find what he sought for, for his face
lighted UP. and he began to scrape
steadily on n certain chord. A moan
went through the bridge. Faster play

notes OF the fiddle. Furiously the old
fiddle scraped away. and the cables be-
gan to vibrate. slowly at first. the VI
brntions growing stronger and stronger
Rs the keynote sounded on the violin.
The bridge began to trcmble, then to
sway.
By this time the tollkeepors saw
something was up, for the pedestrians
on The bridge began to run, drivers
whipped up their horses and men and
women with blanched faces declined to
set foot ON either end Of the structure.
a messenger there were no tele-
phones them was dispatched for the
superintendent, and he came running.
The old fiddler was pointed out, and a
constable was ordered TO arrest him:
but. there being no suspicious person
law then IN existence, the officer shook
his head. The bridge was cutting up
all sorts OF capers, swaying back and
forth like n swing. until at last the SUI
D-erintendent In desperation ran TO the
fiddler and promised never to demand
toll from him. An agreement was en-
tered into. the fiddler pledging to keep
secret to his dying day the keynote. so
that no %revengeful musician ever again
could place the structure IN jeopardy
