daughter of the farmer who employed
them. they decided to fight for her

Birth af Aaronaatioa,

It was on Aug. l, 1867. that the
Scotchnan Black OF Edinburgh filed
a little bag with hydrogen gas and
watched 1t rise to the ceiling Of his
room. and 1t was right then and there
that the science Of aeronautics was
born. Cavendisb had only little
while before proved that hydrogen gas
was about eleven times lighter than
common air, and it occurred to Black
that, such being the case, a light bag
infated with it would ascend. The
experiment IN his room in Edinburgh
showed that his surmise was correct
It was not long after Black made
his demonstration that Montgolfer
sent silken balloon up into the heav-
ems and watched it careening through
space, and the following year, 1Ts3,
the Montgolhers-Joseph and Stephen
made a successful ascent in bal
loon The same year Charles ascend
ed in hydrogen balloon to the height
Of 9.T7o feet. Ballooni1g was Sue
cess, and in an amazingly short time
It became popular in all lands.-New

Sparks and the Odor.

Every boy who has struck hints to-
gether to make sparks knows the typi-
cal c;lo; that arises from the clash.
He also knows that the Whitor the
nintS the more smell they emit. This
phenomenon has been observed for
centuries. but scientific men have been
at loss to account for it. Many cN-
plantations have been given, but ex-
pertinent has proved al OF these to be
erroneous. Recently, however, two
Italian scientists, the brothers Pic
cardi, demonstrated that the smell Of
spark emitting iiHts is due solely TO
the minute quantities Of organic mat
ter that are upon the stone and that
are burned by the sparks. This or
ganic matter need be III only the most
minute quantity. such as may be left
by water In which lichens, weeds or
water plants have decomposed, for
the oifactorv nerve; are so ezQuis-
itely sensitive that they can detect the
burning of almost infinilesin!al bits Of
matter The dclicacy Of these nerves
is proved by the fact that even after
the pebbles have been washed III lye
the smell Of burning can still be de.
tected But il the pebbles be heated
in fire and then struck together at
points that the hands have not touched

Secret Societies.

Secret societies are so ancient tEat
their origin is lost in the mists OF the
past. They existed il Egypt. Persia
India. at the earliest times Win
which history or legend gives Us any
insight. 1t seems to be natural Tor
men to organize such societies tor both
good and evil purposes. Nearly ali the
ancient religions were Of q two faced
character, popular and secret, or. as
they are called, ''esotel1c" and "eS'
oteric," the first for the few. the In

A po.t Who Dreaded Fire.

had weakness IN the form Of ne-T'
Gus dread Of fire. Eis chamber at St.
Peters college, Cambridge. being Oh
the second aoor, he thought 1t likely
that in case Of g fire his exit by the
stairs might be cut Of. Ee therefore
caused an iron bar to be fixed by arms
projecting from the outside Of his win
dow, designing by q rope attached
thereto to descend in the event Of a
fire occurring. This excessive caution
led to q practical joke BY his fellows.

Few TO his window and slid down tbs
rope to the ground. where he was hail

that he changed his lodgings.

Tho Funny Pensuins.

OF all the foreign birds to be seen IN
geological collections 1t IS the penguins
that gain the most popularity with the
least attempt to do so, says a writer
n the London Graphic, who proceeds:
They do not arably converse with the
public like parrots or make grotesQue
sramaces Ike pelicans. Indeed, they
studtously ignore the visitors whom
they attract by their tnimitably quaint
caricature OF humanity. No birds de-
part more In form from the usual bird
type, and there is something about
them which irresistbly suggests an
oyerfed little boy in an overcoat with
the sleeves very much too tight Tor
him as they toddle about with their
stif wings banging down or solennly
mediate three inch jump.

A Greenland Duel.

1t is rather 4 pity for the Gayety or
nations that French men Of letters
cannot fight their dues as duels are
fought in Greenland. In Greenland
when one man has been iasulted by
another the adyersaries each compose
q satire in verse. This each man re-
cites to his household until the serv-
ants and the women know it By
heart. Then a place Of meeting IS ap.
pointed. The two men, the insulter
and insulted. the offender and offended,
stand face to face. and each recites his
noem. His friends and servants form
a chorus. Each man tries hard to
ru. he laugh against bis adversary.
Eacn man speaks in turn, whipping
the enemy with epigram and Qu!D,
and after two hours Of this wordy
battle the meeting gives the victory
to him of the two adversacies who
has amused the whole assembly most.

Insects That Initiate Ostriches.

The habit OF the ostrich Of burying
its head and imagining that it has
cluded discovery is copied after
fashion by certain insects. according
to DR.. c. Rodman IN his lectures on
the subject of the stick insect, or ba-
cillus roSsi, which lie has cultivated.
These insects, which are so called be-
cause Of their resemblance to dry
sticks, haze two fore legs which they
fold completely over their eyes when
disturbed and evidently think that in
so doing they themselves are lost to
view. The eggs Of these insects, DR..
Rodman says. take something over six
months to hatch. They are only one
tenth Of an inch in their longest d.
ometer. and by some miracle an in
sect which at hatching is three-quar-
ters CT an inch in length is packed
into them. The stick insects destroy
the workings of their number by eat
ing their legs.-W estminster Gazette.
