things in the world 1t has curious
and contradictory qualities. and MANY
astonishing phenomena are connected

in elasticity.
II two glass balls are made to strike

Dy virtue Of their elasticity, will be
nearly equal to their original impetus
Connected with its brittleness are some
very singular facts.
Take a hollow sphere with a hole
and stop the hole with the finger so
as to prevent the external and internal
air from communicating, and the
sphere will fly to pieces by the mere
heat of the hand. Vessels made of
glass that have been suddenly cooled
possess the curious property Of being
able to resist hard blows given to
them from without, but will be instant
~ shlvered by small particle of flint
dropped into their cavities. This
property seems to depend upon the
comparative thickness Of the bottom:
the thicker the bottom is the more GER
tainty of breakage by this experiment
Some Of these vessels, it is stated, have
resisted the stroke of a malIet given
with sufficient force to drive a nail
into wood, and heavy bodies. such as
musket balls, pieces Of iron, bits of |
wood, jasper, stone, etc, have been
cast into them from a height of two

FRANCE BALKS OVER
TARIFF AGREEMENT
Thinks American Concessions

is, and the impression created is decid-
eddy unfayorable. The proposals are
being considered in a friendly spirit.
but il is yet too early to indicate the
nature of the counter propositions that
France will make. 1t is almost GER
tain, however, that France will con-
clude that the tariff concessions asked
for by the United States are entirely
out of proportion to what she offers.
The proposition made by America is
practically limited to placing cham
payne on the list of articles included in
the agreement of 1898 and entitled to a
20 per cent reduction under the reci-
procity clause of the Dingley law,
while in return the United States asks
the minimum tariff on shoes, tools,
machinery, etc. French officials are

cantly increased. On the other hand

minuets and learned music with ia
cility, and at the age of six he com
posed a concerto for the harpsichord,
which. though written strictly in ac-
cordance with the principles and tech
mic of his art, was yet SO overloaded
with difficulties that it could not be

1t is related that Mozart once hap
pened to put off some music that he
had been engaged to furnish for a
court concert SO long that he had not
time to write out the part which he
himself was to perform.

Dewey Young Must Answer
For Auto Accident.

After hearing the evidence in the
case against Dewey Young, a chauf-
feur who is charged with manslaugh-
ter, Judge Whallon at Indianapolis,
bound the young man over to the

$4,000. 1t was charged that Young
was driving the machine that struck
Miss Carrie Wilkins, formerly of Rich
mond, as she alighted from a street
car at College avenue and Twentieth
street last Thursday. Young testified
that he was running the machine slow
ly at the time that it struck Miss
Wilkins and that the woman stepped
in front of it so quickly that he could
not avoid running over her. He said
he was running at about three miles
an hour, but other witnesses said that
the speed was greater.
