The Conductors Baton,

According to the investigations of q
Frenchman the credit of inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully, the
composer. who eventually had cause 10
regret his invention, Before he adopt
ed the baton conductors We're In the
habit of pounding on the floor with
their feet or clapping their hands to
mark the time. Lully found it weari-
some to keep his foot constantly in mo
ton and so used stick to strike the
floor and beat time. He used pole
six feet long. One day he brought
down the pole with such force that it
struck his foot and made a deep
wound. He paid no attention to the
matter. The wound grew worse and
ultimately caused his DEATH After
his time conductors tried more and
more to improve the baton, and it was
ultimately brought to its present form

In 1862 the rage for ruffs, such as are
seen on many monumental efiigies. be-
gan to decline. A writer in the Lon
don Chronjrte OF that year says of gen
tlemen's dress. Their cuffs entirely
cover their wrists. and only the edges
of their ruflles are to be seen" 1t is
said that a distaste for ruffs was first
created so far back as 1913, when a
woman named Turner wore them on
her trial for the murder by poison of
Sir Thomas Overbury The French
revolution of 1889 much Influenced
British fashion, and the picturesque
cooked hat and rufiles then gave way
generally to round hats and small
cuffs. The period Of their final disuse
cannot be easily determined, as men
of old fashioned or eccentric habits
have worn ruf!ied shirt fronts within
quite recent memory similar to those
which. according to Planche's His
tory of British Costume" originated
In the seventeenth century.

WHIPPED BY MACHINERY.
Auton' stic Flosgars Used by Several
European Armies.

Automatic hogging machines are in
use among the military forces of sew
eral European nations. For many
years the whipping was always done
by soldiers under the command of an
officer, and the punishment varied. ac-
cording to the personal relations sub
sisting between the soldier and his vie
tim. 1t was to correct this disadvan-
tagc that the flogging machine was ill
vented
The machine is automatic in action
and as soon as the culprit is fastened
in position Il spring is frightened or
loosened TO gauge the exact force Of
the blow y pointer is moved over II
dial to the requisite number of strokes
and the mechanism is started
With perfect regularity the victims
back is scourged by the thronCs, the
handle Of the whip being moved by q
screw device after each stroke so that
the lash does not fall on the same spot
throughout the punishment.
Each blow is of uniform severity
and as soon as the required number
has been given the machine comes to
a rest, and the offender is released
with the assurance that the exact pun
ishment ordered has been melted out
to him-Harpers Weekly

-ypNlNG THE DEAD.
A Custom That Can Be Traced C.ck
to the Earliest AGES.

Cremation has peen prarticed ny
most of the nations of the earth from
the earliest ages. and. although in ia.
gan countries 1t may have taken the
form Of fire worshipine. there can be
no doubt that Its adoption by the an
clients was for the most part prompt
ed by other than religions reasons.
Greeks ascribe its introduction to Her
cules, WHO, having sworn to transmit
the body OF Argus to bis father
thought this the most convenient way
OF fulfilling his promise. According to
Homer the burning of the dead was a
common practice among the Greeks
long before the Trojan war. but the
earliest record Of 1t Is among the
Scythians. who Inhabited the vast re-
gion known under the name ug Tar
tary. Slender accounts handed down
concerning the manners of some Of the
ancient natives Of Hindustan also al
Jude to the custom. The idea of puri-
tication by fire was In all ages untrer-
sal, and with good reason. Some be-
lieved that the body was unclean after
the departure of the SOUL and it was
therefore deemed necessary that it
should be purified by fire. Ovid ex-
pressed the general opi44Ou Of his time
when he said that the soul was not
completely separated from the body

pyre. The Athenians invariably after

THE CRASH OF WORLDS,


Credulous individuals who are al
ways fearful that some of the ends or
the world predicted by sensational
prophets may prove to be true viii
find considerable comfort in the as
scrtion OF Prof. Lowell that there Is
good scientific evidence for the be-
lief that mankind will have many
years warning of the great catastro-
phe that is destined to put an end to
all things on this planet.
According to Prof. Lowen's state
ments. there Is somewhere within the
remote confines of space great mass
of matter--onee world. but now
dead-athat is hurting itself toward
our sun. In time 1t is certain to reach
the goal to which 1t Is tending. and
when the two come together the
globe on which we Hive Is destined to
cease to exist.
While 1t would then be certain that
the end of the world was in sight,
there would still be ample time in
which to prepare for the inevitable.
