THE WARRANT CAME.
So They Took the Woman From Her
 Washtub to the Gallows.

Washtub to the GalloWS.
 The hanging of woman, which in these days calls forth public protests, was apparently a matter of indiffer- ence to our grandfathers and grand mothers. It was in the nineteenth century that woman found guilty of some trifiing offense was sentenced to death. By chance the warrant for her execution was not sent to the high sheriff, and she remained in prison for about three years, acting as jail washerwoman and occasionally, as a favor in acknowledgment of her good behavior, going out, as was then the custom, as washerwoman to private houses. But a clerk looking through the home office records found the war rant that had never been dispatched, and it was thereupon promptly for warded to the sheriff for due process.
 The woman was found by the turn key at the washtub in a house in the town Aylesbury. Well, missus." said he, you are to be hanged. The warrant has come at last, and we must carry the sentence out tomorrow morn ing at the latest" "Werry well. then" the wretched woman submissively re- piled, q suppose must go." and. hay ing washed the soapsuds of her arms, departed with the official.

HE ELtCikIC CRATER.
How the Are Light Is Produced Be.
 tween the Electrodes.

How the Are Light Is Produced Be.
 tween the Electrodes.
 Everybody knows that an arc light is formed by causing an electric cur rent to pass between the points of two carbon rods. One of these is called the positive and the other the nega- tive electrode, and the current passes from the former to the latter Parti- cles of carbon are carried on from the positive electrode until it's end be- comes cup shaped.
 To the little cup thus formed the name of crater is applied, and from this crater four-ffths of the light is emitted. The negative electrode does not become so hot as the other. Be- tween the two a little cloud of vapor- ized carbon is formed, rising from the crater, and this vapor gives forth golden yellow light But it is over powered by the light of the crater it. self which has violet tinge due to the incandescence of solid particles of car bon. The arc of light extended from one electrode to the other also has an axis of violet color which is it's most brilliant part. The fact that most of the luminosity comes from the crater explains the reason why the light does not appear equal in all directions. It is brightest from that point of view which shows the largest portion of the crater.
 An interesting effect is often noticed when flies or other insects flutter about an arc light Their shadows cast on a neighboring wall appear gigantic. The reason is that the light of the crater is concentrated in point smaller than the bodies of the insects, and the bound aries of the shadows consequently widen with increase of distance.--St. Louis Republic.
