COMING MAN OF BUSINESS
Long-Headed Youngster Who Bids

feiIer Glass.

SO many panes Of glass in old Mr..
Nincr's greenhouse had been broken
that he had at last offered a reward Of
10 ShillingS to anyone who should
give information as to the identity Of
the latest offender. The bait soon
drew. \ %yoUngster called on Mr..
Niner and informed him that a lad
named Archie Thompson was the
guilty party. He received his reward,
went away rejoicing and the old gen
tleman forthwith wrote to the local
schOolmaster, demanding the produc,
ton Of the said Archie Thompson, to
make good the damage he had done
to his windows.
Next day the infOrmer called again.
The schoolmaster sent me- he
said briskly. 1--WE seen a glazier and
he'll put your glass right for three

Globular liuhtninq.

Yesterday the inhabitants of Lewis
ham were provided with a specimen
of that curious phenomenon known as
"globular lightning" 1t is what is
commonly called the fire ball. and
as it persists for several seconds it IS
obviously of a totally different char
acter from any other form Of light
ming. 1t is much less brilliant than
ordinary lightning, and its brightness
appears to be that of iron at the red
hot" stage.
II is not, as some accounts might
lead one to infer, a solid missile, but
it is always spherical and appears to
fall from a thunder cloud by its own
gravity, sometimes rebounding after
striking the groUnd.-LondOn Globe.

the young president Of the board Of aldermen, who, under the charter. would
succeed to the first Office of the city If the mayors wound should result
fatally.
Mr. Mitchell was twentyeght years old, and had been practising law
OF his own account for five years, when the making of his public record
began. 1t was in the family to study law, and young Mitchell had determined
on that before he went to college. Consequently when he came to the cleo
tive courses in his junior year he turned aside from the distinctive studies
of the arts and chose those which he believed would help him in his later
career He went in for political science, the science of government political
history, and that sort of thing.
Mr. Mitchell is a graduate of Columbia university and Of the New York
Law school and entered public life as assistant corporation counsel under
William Z. Ellison. He conducted searching Investigations into several Of
the city departments and proved one of the most interchangeable workers con.
nected with the city government and last fall was elected president of the
board of aldermen.

is NOT a place of eternal torment,
but merely another name for the

was not redeemed from a far-off
place Of eternal torture, but quotes
the Scriptures proving that he was
REDEEMED from the GRAVE at the

Long Sentences.

Ruskin, it is said, has written more
sentences of tnordinate length than
any other classic writer of modern
English prose. Frederic Harrison some
years ago counted the words in a num-
Der of typical sentences, finding that in
the earlier books it was no uncommon
thing for Ruskin to run beyond the
page before permitting himself and his
readers the relief of full stop. But In
every case the sense is clear as day.
Wordsworth's poem on the "Charac-
ter of the Happy Warrior" is a notable
example of sustained connections.
Apart from the opening and closing
couplets the poem consists of two very
long compound sentences almost en-
tirely comprised of adjectival clauses.
The longer of the two sentences con-
tains fifty-seven decasyllabic lines.
This is probably a record in English
verse.-Argonaut
