Heart Protectors,

Many persons are puzzled to kno =
Fhy policemen wear their badges so
low on their coasts instead of on the
flap made for that purpose. AS a
matter of fact, the badge, or star,
as he calls it, of many policeman
is right next to his heart Some of
the bluecoats can thank their stars
for being alive. This little metal
shield has detected the bullet of
burglar or highwayman, and at times,
too, has stopped the knife thrust OF
would-be assassins. During the last
twenty or thirty years there are many
cases on record showing that the lit
tie badge has been a life saver. Even
bullets fired at close range, as
rule, cannot penetrate the shield.
That's why bluecoat always feels
safer in keeping the star at vital
spot. When off duty some police
men wear their stars on their vests,
but always directly over the heart.
They are so accustomed to the little
protector that they feel uneasy with

Overflow of Lava.

The overflow of lava from volcanoes
is tremendous in some instances, and
the amount that is deposited over the
sides of the mountains and poured into
the valleys is almost beyond compre-
hension. At first the lava spouts up
into the air to considerable height.
and then pours slowly over the edge
Of the crater in an apparently mex
haustible stream. In the ercuption
Of Mauna Loa in 1852 the lava which
burst out of the base of the mountain
into the sea formed a wave from 200
to TOO feet in height and 1000 feet
broad that overwhelmed everything in
its way.

with q Polish painter. The latter gen.
tleman was the insulted party, and on
the advice of an ingenious friend Sc
lected field cannon as his weapon. and
the officer, finding that nobody would
back him up in refusal, had to acqui-
esce. Two field pieces were procured.
gunners employed to load them. and
the combatants were instructed how
to pull the string at given signal.

to go whizzing yards above the COM
