Some Odd Words.

"Topsy turvy"-when things are
in confusion, they are said to be
topsy turvy, an expression derived
from the way in which turf for fuel
is placed to dry on its being cut.
The surface of the ground is pared
off with the heath growing upon it,
and the heath is turned downward
and left some days in that state
that the earth may get dry before it
is carried away. 1t means, there
fore. really stop side turf way"
"Coxcomb" is a corruption OF
cocks comb, which is considered as
an unnecessary part and is always
cut OFF from game birds and only
suffered 10 grow on those of the
barnyard breed; hence coxcomb is a
ridiculous fellow, who pays more at
tention to decoration of his person
than to the improvement of his
mind.
''Hurly burly" denotes confusion
or tumult and is said to owe its orr
gin to two neighboring families,
Hurleigh and Burleigh, who filled
their part Of the country with con.
test Of violence.

LIGHTNING.
Some Facts About This Mysterious
Force Of Nature.

come Faets ABOUT fnts @ysteoes
Force Of Nature.
Lightning is still more or less a
mystery. We can initiate it on a
small scale in the laboratory, but its
gigantic manifestations in the sky
and its wonderful vagaries make the
wisest savants shake their heads.
We know, at any rate, that light
ming is the electric discharge at
high tension between masses oppo-
sitely electrified. Every little parti-
Gle of moisture in the air carries a
charge, and when the particles
coalesce in a cloud their electricity
collects OF the surface until the
tension becomes enormous. Ii two
clouds are oppositely electrified
they will lombard each other until
equilibrium is established between
them. If the opposition is between
the surcharged cloud and an object
on the ground terrific bolt passing
between the earth and the sky will
relieve the electric strain without
regard to the well being of any
creature that stands in the way.
A lightning flash often darts for
miles through the air. 1t begins
with a discharge between two ad-
jacent PARTICLES. The next particle
receives the shock and transmits it
to its nearest neighbor, and thus it
rushes on, zigzagging along the line
of least resistance until the unbal-
anced energies are restored to
equality. The way of lightning is
crooked way when the path is
long, because the distribution Of
the electric charges in the clouds is
irregular. The positive seeks the
negative and rushes to its embrace
wherever it finds it.
The eye is not quick enough to
unravel lightning stroke, but pho
tography can do it to q certain de-
gree, and photographs prove that
the path Of the discharge is q waving
line. No discharge occurs until the
tension has reached the breaking
point. e., the point where the re-
sistance of the air can no longer re-
strain the force of the gathering
charge.
What might be called the inner
structure of a lightning stroke is a
marvel. Professor Henry proved
that every stroke is an alternating
current, the oscillations occupying
but few millionths of a second,
while the duration of the flash may
J be IL considerable fraction of a sec

Why She Kissed Him.

In Boston on one occasion a GER
tain woman's club had invited
distinguished English lecturer to
address the members on "Duties OF
the Wife" During the course OF
the lecture the speaker touched
upon the matter Of conjugal affec-
ton. "We should, i think" said
she, Invariably greet our husbands
with kiss upon their return home.
All of us no doubt are fully aware
of the principle underlying this wise
rule"
Whereat a stern and elderly wife
in the front row Of seats lifted up
her voice in clear and unmistakable
terms a. follows: "You're quite

The common phrase "He's q
brickp is first found in Plutarch.
The expression implies any form Of
admiration. The Spartans, quick
witted and noted for their repartee,
we're early trained in both schools.
They we're men Of few words and
fewer laws and embodied in short
phrases their admiration, dislike or
appreciation. Lycurgus was not
only q man Of few words, but quick
action. On being asked, Should
Sparta be inclosedy" an invasion OF
the enemy being expected during
the time Of war, he replied, "A city
is well fortified which has 9 wall OF
