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

Theory as to the Cause of the craekle,
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 with clap. But
the intensity of the noise is rather dis
proportionate, and it is now supposed
thunder is due to the intense heating
Of gases, especially the gas Of 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 small scale caus-
ed by discharges before the main
fash 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 flash 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 a terrifying ex-
tent.-Exchange.

End of AItruism,

Because he was too soft hearted to
ask his poverty stricken landlady to
buy new rugs for his room the altru-

rugs and spread them over the floor

day she presented a bill for the weeks
expenditures: Items-Room rent, break
fasts, laundry and beating rugs, %
cents.
'Hello! said the altruistic young
man. What does this mean?"
Just what 1t says" she returned

extra rugs they'll have to pay for
beating 'em, that's all l can't afford
to do 1t for nothing"

Da Vinci's Writings.

Although Leonardo da Vinci was
voluminous writer. he never published
a single line during his lifetime.
After the masters death In France
his manuscripts were taken back to
Italy. His heirs proved unworthy,
and the precious writings were grad
ually dispersed. Loose pages were
often detached and We're either given
away as relics or stolen. No attempt
was made to publish any of his
treatises, except that on painting. for
more than 300 years after his death.
This was partly owing to the great
difficulty of deciphering his handwrit-
ing. Da vinci was left handed and
always wrote in oriental fashion, from
right to left. Besides this, his orthog-
.raphy is peculiar to himself. He alb
breviates some words and joins others
together and employs neither stops nor
accents.-London Chronicle.

THE PHALANX.
Its Formation In the Military Methods
Of Ancient Greece.


of Ancient Greece.
A phalanx in the military affairs Of
Greece was 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 1900 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 1t thus:
1T 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 serviceable
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
1884 men.

HARD METALS.

list equals IL In hardness. The hardest
steel cannot equal the diamond In that

But there are at least two products
of chemical experiment that have
proved. according to French chemists,
to be as hard as diamonds. These are
produced from the rare metal titanium.

electric furnace. In the pure form 1t
is much harder than steel or quartz,
and when combined with silicon or
carbon so rs to form a silicide or bo-
ride OF titanum 1t matches the dia-
mond itself In hardness.
Titanium resembles tin in, its chem
ical properties, and 1t is the character

Saxons.

Saxon is from ''seax," a sword. and
so the Men of the Sword" In the
early days the Saxons took for them
selves such names as Bloody AK"
Skull Cleaver," Deaths Head"
names which in no way belied their
original character. The "berserker
rage" Of the old Vikings spread death
and destruction all around the coasts
which they haunted, and by the terror
Of their name they led the Christians
to put into their litany the prayer,
Deliver US, o Lord, from the fury

these old Saxons, and to this day the
most dreadful Of all the people ON the
face Of the earth, when they are thor
