THE PHALANX.
It's Formation In the Military Methods

its Formation In the Military Methods
of Ancient Greece.
A phalanx in the military affairs of
Greece was a square battalion or body
Of soldiers formed in ranks and files
compact and deep, with their shields
Joined and pixies crossing each other so
as to render 1t almost impossible to
break it At first the phalanx consisted
Of 1000 men, but this number was aft
erward doubled by Philip Of Macedon.
and the double phalanx is hence often
called the Macedonian phalanx. Polyb-
ius describes it thus:
ct was a square of pikemen, con
sisting OF 16 in flank and 500 in front
The soldiers stood so close together
that the pixies Of the fifth rank extend
ed three feet beyond the front. The
rest, whose pixies were not seryicea Bile
owing to their distance from the front.
couched them upon the shoulders of
those who stood before them and. SO
locking them together in file. pressed
forward to support and push on the
former rank. by which means the as.
sault was rendered more violent and
irresistible" The spears OF those be.
hind also stopped the missiles OF the
enemy. Each mans pike was twenty,
three feet long. The word phalanx is
also used for any combination of peo
pie distinguished for solidity and firm.
ness. A grand phalanx consisted OF
1854 men.

Tampa, F1a.-In a letter from this
city, Mrs. z. G. Corum writes: II was
all weakened and worn out with wo-
manly troubles. My husband brought
me some Cardui as a tonic, and, from
the first day, it seemed to help.

thanks to Cardui, I did not. Soon, I
felt and looked like new woman I
think the remedy is wonderful. I
recommend It to my friends, for have
received great benefit from 1t"
Cardui acts specifically on the weak
ened womanly organs. Strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.
1t helps to refresh the WORKOUT ner-
yous system and relieves the effects of
overvork. both mental and physical.
Fifty years successful use fully
prove the merit OF this purely vege-
table, tonic remedy for women.
In every community. there live some
who have been benefited by Cardui.
The beneficial effects Of this time
tested woman,s remedy, soon show
themselves in many different ways.

NOISE OF THUNDER.
Theory as to the Cause of the Craekie,
Roar and Rumble.

Theory as to the Cause of the craekie,
Roar and Rumble.
1t has usually been thought that the
noise of thunder is caused by the clos
ing up of the vacuum created by the
passage Of the lightning, the air rush
ing in from all sides witt a clap. But
the intensity of the noise is rather dis
proportionate, and 1t is now supposed
thunder is due to the intense heating
Of gases. especially the gas cf water
vapor along the line of electric dis
charge and the consequent conversion
of suspended moisture into steam at
enormous pressure.
In this way the crackle with which
a peal Of thunder sometimes begins
might be regarded as the sound Of
steam explosion on a small scale caus-
ed by discharges before the main
flash. The rumble would be the over
tapping steam explosions, and the final
clap. which sounds loudest, would be
the steam explosion nearest to the
auditor.
In the case of rumbling thunder the
lightning is passing from cloud to
cloud. When the fash passes from
the earth to the clouds the clap is
loudest at the beginning. Trowbridge
gave substance to these suggestions
by causing electric flashes to pass
from point to point through terminals
clothed in soaked cotton wool. and he
succeeded In magnifying the crack of
the electric spark to terrifying ex-
tent.-Exchange.
