Mineral Microbes.

Some interesting experiments have
been made with ancient medals, vases
and so forth Of lead that are gradually
disintegrating in the museum Of Clu-
ny. After certain number Of years
they fall into dust. The cause, it is
thought. lies in the presence of minute
quantities of saline matter with which
the objects have become impregnated
during their long burial in the soil or
under water. These microscopic i'm
purities play the part Of bacteria and
microbes in living bodies. In other
words, the lead is "sick'' and unless
the noxiouS matter can be removed
will inevitably perish. Curiously
enough, it is found that if traces of
salt are impaired to a fresh mass of
lead 1t is attacked and eventually falls
to pieces like the objects in the mu-
scum at Clunv.

THE PHAlANX.

It's Formation In the Military Methods
Of Ancient Greece.
A phalanx in the military affairs of
Greece was a square battalion or body

compact and deep. with their shields
Joined and pixies crossing each other so
as to render it 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:
ut 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

rest. whose pixies were not servicea BILE

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

Charlotte Corday..

Charlotte Corday, the slayer Of Ma
rat, was, according to the best au-
thorities. of noble lineage. Unlike the
Maid Of Orleans, the most illustrious
blood flowed in her veins. She was
well educated. and not whisper was
ever heard against her moral charac-
ter. 1t does not appear that she ever
manifested the slightest signs Of in
sanity or fanaticism. Her action in
killing Marat was attended by nothing
like madness or hallucination. Taught
to believe that the Paris butcher was
the one man who hindered the right
eous settlement of the strife that was
destroying her country, she quietly
went down to the great city and in a
very unostentatious manner dispatched
the man she believed to be her peoples
greatest enemy.-New York American
