Wanted Moro Converts

Southey in bis life of Wesley relates
the following whimsical incident. He
states that some of the opponents OF
these religionists in the excess Of zeal
against enthusiasm took up whole
wagon load of Methodists and carried
them before justice. When they
were asked what these persons had
done there was an awkward silence.
At last one of the accuserS said.
''Why. they pretend to be better than
other people. and. besides. they pray
from morning till night
The magistrate asked if they had
done nothing else
"Yes. SIR" an old man said. ANT
please your worship. they have con-
verted my wife. Till she went among
them she had such tongue. and now
she is as quiet as lamb
Garry them back; carry them back, y
the magistrate said. and let them
convert all the scolds in the town.

Plucking Sheep.

The pure bred sheep in Shetland are
not shorn. but plucked. The process
takes place generally in June, when
the fleece is ripe" and the silky wool
can be pulled off without pain. This is
called '.rooing" and is much less dam
aging to the young fiber than clipping
with shears, The wool when thus ham
died retains its peculiar softness. so
that any one of experience can tell
whether the material of q knitted ar
ticle has been plucked or shorn. 1t
ripens first upon the neck and shoul-
ders. SO that sheep half pulled resem-
Bile in some sort a poodle that Is
clipped. We must suppose that harsher
handling prevailed at one time. for we
read that in 1916 the Scottish privy
council spoke of the custom as still
kept up lin some remote and uncivil
places" and James |. wrote to tell
them that it had been put down in Ire
land under penalty of a fine, Upon
this they passed an act on March IL,
1916. deploring the destruction of sheep
thus caused and imposing similar fines
on those who should persist in the
practice

Meteors and the htmosohere,

One of the most useful results ariS-
ing from the study of sporadic meteors
is the light thrown upon the question
Of the height Of the atmosphere, since
it is the friction OF the air that sets
them on fire, and if their elevation is
known at the moment of their first ap,
pearance the probable height of the at
mosphere can be calculated. On Aug.
II. 1909. a brilliant meteor happened
TO impress its picture simultaneously
on three Photographic plates, at Tash.
kend. Islander and Tschimgan, in
Russian Turkestan. The distances be-
tween these places furnished base lines
from which the height could be de.
duced. The calculation shows that the
meteor first appeared at height of
69.45 miles above the earth and disap.
peared at fifty miles.

lcebercs and Echoes.

Icebergs are always a source of
worry to the transatlantic steamship
shippers. 1t isn't pleasant to run along
through a fog or a murky night and
smash into one of these floating noun
tains of ice. The liner captains have a
way of finding ice that at first strikes
the landslnan as curious. When it is
suspected there are bergs in the neigh
borhood the whistle is kept going. If
there is an echo the navigator slows
down and keeps a sharp eye out. fol
echoes don't grow in the open ocean.
