1t is most encouraging to know
that the improvement has begun

a permanent basis from which to

been heightened. laws governing

Lightning flashes in a storm are
found by an English observer to be
much less irregular in period than
they appear. Such storms have usu-
ally two foci - sometimes three -
from which the flashes radiate. and
the discharges from each come at
regular intervals The apparent ir-
regularity is due to the varying rates
of the different centers. In a storm
of July. 1905, the two foci were
about a mile and half apart, and in
an hour the northern center emitted
30 flashes at intervals of Is, 30, As
go and 80 seconds, and the southern
center gave 16 flashes at intervals of
II, "a and 81 seconds Another I'M
explained observation is that just be-
fore each great fash there is mo-
mentary faint lighting up of the sky
in the storm region.

The Decline OF Mirth.

The explanation that laughter is
disappearing on account of the sad
ness of the modern view of life is dis
cardod by Signor F. Franceschinl. an
Italian psychologist. He concludes
that mirth, like poetry, depends upon
imagination, and that the develop
ment of the reasoning powers has
tended TO Danish the distortion that
makes things seem funny. The more
the imagination is brought under the
control of logic the less do we laugh.
Education is now scientific and prac-
teal, and TO more than smile is be-
coming a characteristic of a simpler
and more natural culture, where i'm
agination still holds sway and people
have not forgotten how to laugh.

Dried Beef.

The most common way OF serving
dried or smoked beef is TO shave it
into thin slices or chips, raw, but a
more savory relish may be made of
it with little more trouble. Put the
slices of uncooked beef into a fry
ing pan with just enough boiling
water to cover them; set them over
the fire for ten minutes. drain off all
the water, and with a knife and fork
cut the meat into small bits. Return
to the pan, which should be hot,
with a tablespoonful of butter and a
little pepper. Have ready some we'll
beaten eggs, allowing four to a half
pound of beef; stir them into the
pan with the minced meat, and toss
and stir the mixture for about ten
minutes. Send to table in covered
dish.
