SPHERICITY OF THE EARTH
"ParalIas" Bet Against It, and He Lost
His Wager.

The straightest canal in the world Is
In England and runs from Firth. in
Cambridgeshre. to Denvers Sluice,
twenty-five miles away. Ii was here
that years ago decisive experiment
was conducted to prove the sphericity
Of the earth At that time says High
ways and Byways In Cambridgeshire,'
a deluded gentleman, who called him
self "Parallax." was obsessed with the
notion that the globe was a fiat disk
and used to go ecturing with great
vlgor on the subject After these lee
lures he invited questions. none of
which was able to shake his belief.
When asked. for example. why does
the hull Of ship disappear below the
horizon while the masts remain Wis
bleT' he would answer. Because the
lowest stratum Of air is the densest
and therefore soonest conceals objects

his whole hearted belief in his absurd
views by laying heavy wager that no
one would disprove them. The stakes
were deposited in the hands Of judges.

DEADLY MINE GASES.
Their Action Upon the Flame of the
Safety Lamp.


Safety Lamp.
The safety lamp, heavy metal Ian
tern shaped object with circular
globe of heavy plate glass, is the only
light other than electricity that can be
safely carried into a gaseous mine
The lamps are lit before they are
taken into the mine and, in addition,
are securely locked that no accident
or ignorant intention may expose the
open flame to the gases of the mine
over small sooty yellow flame
which gives a light less br'Hit than
that of an ordinary candle are two
wire gauze cones fitting snugly inside
the heavy globe, and 1t is through
these cones that the flame draws the
air which supports it. The presence Of
black damp, or carbon diOXide, can
easily be detected, If not by its odor, by
the action of the flame, which grows
dim and, If the black damp exists In
any quantity. is finally extinguished.
White damp. the highly explosive gas
which Is most feared has, on the
other hand, a totally different effect.
In the presence of this gas the flame
of the safety lamp becomes pointed,
and rs the gas grows stronger the
fame seems to separate from the wick
and an almost invisible blue cone
forms beneath it. If the miner con
tinues to advance into the white damp
he will pass through a line In which
there are nine parts of air 10 one part
gas (the explosive mixture). and the
lamp will instantly register this ex-
plosiye condition by sudden crack
ling inside the gauze and the extin-
gushing of the flame. Were it an open
lamp the explosion ignited by the
fame wenld sweep throughout the en-
tire workings, carrying death and de-
struction before it, but by the con
struction of the safety lamp the ex-
plosion confines itself TO the limited
area within the gauZe cones, and un-
less the lamp is moved suddenly and
the fame is dragged through the gauze
at the instant that the explosion oc-
ours within the globe 1t will not eX-
tend beyond the gauze.--Atlantic.

The Reason and Its lesson.

The Central Vermont Railway Com
pany has succeeded temporarily in
its effort to throttle competition in
Vermont 1t is today, as 1t ever has
been, the political master of the state
We have heard little Of its work these
later years simply because 1t has not
been necessary for 1t to exert its
power openly. 1t has been able to
accomplish all desired by employing
gum shoe" tactics. The asking Of
the charter by the Vermont Valley
Railroad created a situation which
made 1t necessary for it to come out
into the open. Now the people can
behold the monstrous form of its
political power in the affairs of the
state.
The first question which naturally
arises in the mind of the citizen is
this: why did the Senate of the State
refuse TO grant a charter TO the Yer
mont Valley Railroad? The answer
is simple. The Central Vermont
which dictates the political policy OF
the state did not want it granted, and
to prevent it, used means that would
disgrace any state, thereby revealing
the fact that conditions in Vermont
are worse than they ever were In
New Hampshire in the palmiest days
Of the Boston & Maine control, or in
California under the hated DONNA
| ton OF the Southern Pacific.
The result was accomplished by
IN
senators every influence which could
be possibly used to cause him to vote
not according to his best judgment.
A list OF those representing the
Central Vermont at the capitol during
the past week is full of interest

official, Collector OF Customs at the
