Strikinq q Comet,

If we ask the effect of comets striking the earth we will readily sec that if the head of the comet were com posed of powders a collision would have disastrous consequences. A rain of millions of great meteoric stones would, of course, bring catastrophe. If, however, it were merely rain of small particles or dust we might never become conscious of it. for the parti- cles would never reach us They would be fused into gas through friction with our atmosphere many miles before reaching the surface. If the gases lib- erated by friction were in excessive volume we might suffer discomfort or even disaster. It is estimated that hundreds of millions of meteoric parti. cles strike our atmosphere every day. This would be serious matter if we were not protected by our great shel- tering envelope of air. Occasionally a meteoric powder is large enough to resist the heat generated by this fric. tion and reaches the surface. This we call meteorite. The now established connection between comets and me- teors is a matter of great interest," Ralph B. Larkin in North American Review.

Churchgoers who follow the service in their prayer books would certainly miss the "dear old phrase" concerning "quires and places where they sing" and in time the old fashioned "Quires" may be made new fashioned again by the coming of rationalized spelling "Choir" was a most unnecessary out rage upon the language. The old Eng fish "quer" or "quere" became quite naturally "quyer" or "quire," and so 1t remained until the end of the seven- teenth century, when somebody seems to have introduced "choir" bcause 1t looked more like the French "choeur," as if that were valid reason. There could have been no danger of confus- ing a church "quire" and 'quire' of paper, which is different word, the French "cahier," probably from Latin "quaternarium," collection of four leaves.-London Standard.

The same strings sur. wye in the loops of the hats of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignitaries in Great Britain, In the strings of the mats worn by French cures and Span. ish and Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery servants.
 1t naturally became the custom TOT military men to "cock" their hats with the livery color of the prince they served, and as the Hanoverian color was the convenient one of black the black cockade" became associated in the minds of the people with military uniform. In an old Scotch song of shirramuir, citing "Woodword's Her. aldry," we read of "the red coat lads with black cockades," and a knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of the strings was forgot ten the knot, fin the form of rosette of ribbon, survived, just as did tho buttons on the backs of our coats. which were intended to fasten back the flaps in riding or marching.-"Jus- dce of the Peace"
