GLASS FOR ELECTRICITY.

A method of making glass which
will conduct electricity is described
in a paper read before the Royal so
ciety of Edinburgh by Charles ).
Phillips. The glass consists of 30
parts sodium s~ilicate. five parts
borax, O,s part lead oxide, and 0.2
part sodium antimoniate. This
glass is not acted upon by acids and
has a resistance of about 1000
times less than that of ordinary
glass. 1t is used for the windows of
electrometers and electroscopes, and
in the latter instrument fbers of the
glass have been used in place of the
gold leaves.

MORAL SENSE IS FORGOTTEN
Hafd 70 Understand Why Distinction
Between Blight and Wrong Is Net
Present In Dreams.

Bur i, a many writers have sug-
gested. it is the soul itself that
guides the imagery Of dreams. how
are We to explain the fact that in
tins chaos of ideas and feelings
there is so little distinction between
right and wrong that, when dream
ing. We commit acts for which we
shoald weep tears of blood were they
as real as they seem to be. As Prof.
Holfman has said: ''The familiar
check Of waking hours, L must not
do it because it would be unjust or
unkind,' never once seems to arrest
us in the satisfaction Of any within
which may blow about our hayward
fancies." From all of which We must
conclude that the dream realm is a
world that is entirely obliyious to
any moral sense, and that, though il
may be true that a troubled con-
sciepce may produce or affect oul
dreams, the dreams themselves arr
never burdened with a Conscience

sRIbAL.eowN CARPETS.

There is a curious custom among
the daughters of the house of Haps-
burg, of which the emperor of Aus
.tria is now the head. Their bridal
trains, instead of finishing an honor
able career in the ballroom, are be-
slowed after the ceremony on the
church whose sacred floor they have
swept. At a centenary celebration at
Rennweg the altar floor was covered
with a sheen Of satin and silver, mel
lowed by a breath Of age, that had
once formed part of the wedding
garment Of Marie Antionette, the i'll
fated queen of France, executed IN

grows to ~ feet, but the usual

HIS DEFICIENCY.

A certain Chicago merchant died,
leaving to his only son the conduct
of an extensive business, and great
doubt was expressed in some quar-
tiers whether the young man pos
sessed the ability to carry out the
fathers policies.

friend, "for my part, | think Henry
is very bright and capable. I'm

very talented teacher at Wycombe
Abbey and was nominated for the
mayoralty of High Wycombe. has
written to a member Of the Wednes-
day club Of st. Louis in regard to
the recent speech made by Mrs. Phil
lip Snowden in that city. Miss Dove
saws that Mrs. Snowdep does not
represent the suffraglsts. who, she
claims. are IN favor of preserving the
parliamentary privileges, but Is IN
stead a Socialist and opposed to the
present system of government. Miss
Dove is not surprised that Mrs.

Miss l.. Lind At Hageby, the not

this country TO try to interest peo-
pie in her crusade against those who
in the name of science would subject
animals to pain. Some of the ex-
periments are said to last for
months, the poor animal being kept
alive simply for the purpose, and no
doubt suffering much. Quite a NUM-
Der of women in different parts Of
the country are interested in the
matter.

OBJECT TO AGE LIMIT.

Roston's teachers are making a
loud outory against a new rule of
the school authorities fixing 20
years as the age limit for active sery-
ice. "If this rule goes into effect"
SAYS one of the Spokesman for the
pedagogues, "one-fifth Of the heads
Of Boston schools will be forced out.
How would any large institution or
store fare that discharged that num-
Der of its heads, simply because they
are 20 years Of age? According to
the school board, President Eliot of
Harvard must have been for the last
five years a detriment to that insti-

Few languages r so free from

else Greek and Latin forms in cur

when the Berlin papers are full of
the Austro-T Turkish crisis, the word

A PART OF THE GAME
Reasons Why No Man Can Afford &c
Think Only Of Himself in
This Life.

A discerning gentleman said to an
other, less discerning, the other day
why don't YOU quit all this-the
hurry and the worry and the strain
and come down with me to the
country and lead a g~entlemans
life?" What he meant was; why
don't YOU come down to the country,
where a man has time to think Of
himself and for himself? Why don't
YOU get oat Of the hurrying throng,
busily chasing the will-o'-the-wisp,
and join me in the quiet vet active
life of one who has time TO loaf and
invite his soul:" But the less dis
corning man was like you-he had
to make a living, he had TO do his
duty, he had to stick in the game,
whether he wished toaor not.
1t is all part of the game. Out Of
all this we are going to evolve some
thing better, We are going to hand
down to succeeding generations a
better and broader conception Of life
las their inheritance from you. And
that's the best We could wish; to be
of some service in the world, 10 know
that we are doing our little in the
whole: to know that we are doing
the duty that is nearest us.

AUTHOR DIED So YEARS AGO.

1t has been called TO the attention
of those interested that the poem,
Little Drops Of Water" was written
by Frances Sargent 0sgood, who
died in bingham, Mass, in 1850.
She was a contributor to the Ladies'
Companion of those days and wrote
several books of poems. Recently
the authorship Of the poem was at
tributed to the late Mrs. Julia Car
ney Of Galesburg, ILL.,, who probably
never considered the poem her own
except in the sense of having copied
it for use in her Sunday school
class.

find a place. Perhaps none of these
is more peculiar than the story of

the world through a monument to his

which it now stands. and became a
millionaire. Before that time the
name of Lick WAS great in the musical
world. Lick's piaUOs-out of which
he made the money which he invested
in land-Were manufactured by him
But On the poetic side of life-a world
apart from such things as piano-mak-

stands as a monument to Licks love.
In early life James Lick sought the

SW0RDFISH WEATHER VANE
Still Pointing to Wind, as 1t Long Has
Done, on Block Island
Barn,

There are more hotels at Block
Island now than when / was there
some years ago, and more people,"
said a man just back, but l found at
least one familiar object there that
pleased my eye, that being an old
weather vane.
ION the road running to the south
from the islands center of population
to the remarkable clay bluffs that rise
to the height of a hundred feet or
more along the islands southern shore
there is a barn above whose cupola
turns homemade wooden vane fash
toned in the form of sWordfish. The
hardy fishermen OF Block Island hunt
the swordfish, as well as every other
sort of fish that finds a home in or
that traverses these waters, and here
the swordfish weather vane seems
not only striking but strikingly appro-
pirate.
The vane is about six feet in
length, which to be sure would be
small for a swordfish, but which is
big for weather vane; and there it
was still, the only swOTdfish Vane /
ever saw, and pleasure it was to
see it still there and still turning
easily and as ever pointing true to the
wind "
