A FASHION FROM WAR.

How Flat Watches Took Place Of the
Old Time "IurniPs."
When the neat man takes into him
self watch as thin as parchment be
little thinks that that thin watch re-
suits from army regulations.
CD to the time Of the allies taking
Paris the ordinary watch WAS convex
in shape and called from its outline a
"tulnip.'' The officers Of the Russian
and other armies objected to this be-
cause its Dubious form made the uni
form Of q man on parade look untidy,
whethsr it were carried in the coat or
the fob. In Paris, however, they found
that the watchmakers Of the Palais
Royal had contrived a ctronometer
which got over the difficulty.
Flat watches were the fashion IN
Paris. The English when they ap-
peared in the streets Of tie French
capital marched in not in gala dress
such as the others wore. but In the
raiment which they had Won on cam
paign. Great was the impression
which their habiliments created, but
they at once adopted the smart tiat
watch a,.d brought it back to England
for our own manufacturers to copy

A Cardboard Planet.

One remarkable achievement Of Sir
William Herschel was in connection
with the planet Saturn. he had ar
ranged to erect his telescope at Wind
sor castle to enable Queen Charlotte
and the ladies Of the court to see the
wonders Of the ringeG planet, but oD
the evening arranged for the observa-
ton great banks Of clouds covered the
sky. However, he explained that that
would not matter, and after the instru-
mcnt had been carefully directed the
queen and her attendants looked
through it and saw the great planet
and its marvellous rings quite distinct
ly. Eerschel it seems, had expected
bad weather and during the day had
made cardboard model Of the Saturn
ian system and erected it in the

A PARASITE CREEPER.
New ZealanG's Vegetable Caterpillar is
Most Peculiar Plant.

New ZeaIsnG's Vegetable Caterpillar is
Most Peculiar Plant.
The most extraordinary object have
ever seen is the New Zealand vegetable
caterpillar. The rata Is parasite
creeper which first destroys its forest
host and then crushes 1t to death and,
usurping it's skeleton, becomes q tree
itself. If tie rata Seeding IS dug up
It is found to De springing not from
seed, but from the head Of perfectly
formed caterpillar.
It is supposed by some that the
caterpillar, which on dissection proves
to be internally the exact counterpart
of it's living insect relative, swallows
the tiny rata seed while living and,
burrowing into the ground, becomes,
instead of chrysalis, the terminating
home of the seed, which by some
agency turns it's unfortunate foster
mother into wood.
Others, however, contend the cater
pillar itself is produced by the rata,
urging in support Of their theory that
If springing from a seed the shoot
would grow out Of different parts Of
the caterpillar instead Of invariably
growing out Of the head.
The insect vegetable is yellowish,
about four i hes long and is fully ex-
tended. I have seen them freshly dug
up and others that have been kept for
years, and all had the appearance OF a
perfect insect carved in wood.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

Three LAYERS Of Atmospi,ere.

It appears that in the atmosphere
there are three distinct currents OF
air, the first lying at an elevation
Of from 900 to 1900 meters, the second
at from $500 to 1000 meters and the
upper one at from 5000 to 5000 me-
tiers above the surface Of the earth.
These are to an extent separate cur
rents, lowing each with its own We
locity. At the bottom Of each OF the
layers the stratus clouds are formed,
and at the top Of each Of the layers
occur the cumulus clouds. This sug-
gests that the stratus originate at the
bottom Of a moving current and the
cuuulus at the top. It IS probable,
then, that the stratus owe their origin
to the difference In velocity and tem-
perature Of the two layers, while the
cumulus are formed by ascending cur
rents within the layer Of air.

The Story of a Church Twice Struck
by Lightning.
4 congregation in hilly district in
Ohio, says the Youths Companion:
bought a small tract of land and
erected church building upon it
Then the question of insurance came
up. Mr.. Sipes, the wealthiest member,
who had contributed more than half
the money needed for the new struc-
ture, declared that ne did not believe
In insurance. This is the Lords
building. He'll take care of it," be
said.
His view prevailed, and there was
no insurance. II few weeks the
building was struck by lightning and
almost totally consumed by fire. An
other one was erected, Mr.. Sipes con-
tributing the greater portion Of the
fund as before. This time the demand
was almost unanimous that it be in
sured. but Nj Sipes again objected
on the same ground.
If it burn down again, brethren"
he said. TIL agree to rebuild it my

Again be carried his point. In less
than month the new church was
struck by lightning again, and al
though strenuous efforts were made
to save it, the loss was almost total.
There must be some reason for
this, brethren" said Brother Sipes. II
am going to find out what 1t is
Thereupon he employed force Of
men to sink a shaft on the site Of
the twice destroyed church. Within
a few days a rich vein Of ore was
found, and the church properS was
sold for many times the amount
needed to buy land in another locality
and build again.

AN IMPlOSlOM.
Gt Is the Opposite of an Explosion and
Less Familiar.

IL Is the Opposite OF an Explosion ano
Less Familiar.
Every one knows what an explosion
is, but its opposite, an implosion, is
less familiar. At great depths in the
sea the conditions are favorable for
It's production. At $500 fathoms the
pressure is, roughly speaking, two and
q half tons to the square inch-that is
to say, several times greater than the
pressure e1erted by the steam upon
the piston Of a powerful engine.
An interesting experiment to Illus
trate the enormous force of this deep
sea pressure was made Oh the Alba
tross, q government vessel engaged In
deep sea exploration.
a thick glass tube several inches in
length full Of air was hermetlcally
sealed at both ends. This was wrap
ped in flannel and placed in one Of the
wide copper cylinders used to protect
deep sea thermometers when they are
sent down with the sounding appa-
ratus. The copper cylinder had holes
bored in it, so that the water had free
access inside, round the glass. The
case was then sent down to depth
Of 1000 fathoms and drawn up again.
It was found that the cylinder was
bulged and Lent inward, just as if it
had been crumbled inward by being
violently squeezed. The glass tube
itself, within It's flannel wrapper, was
reduced to 4 fine powder, almost like
snow. The glass tube, it would seem,
as it slowly descended, held out long
against the pressure. but at last sud
denly gave way and was crushed by
the violence Of the action to fine
powder.
This process, exactly the reverse Of
an explosion, Is termed an 1mpiosion.
