A Terrible Threat.

An engineering operation uptown
made it necessary a few days ago
for one of the workmen to hold an
other on a rope halfway down a
deep we'll. A fall would probably
have been fatal, and Patrick kept
the rope tight and steady while
Terence made the dangerous de-
scent.
After a quarter of an hour Pat
rick's attention wandered to some
thing else. Instinctively he kept
hold of the rope, but he did not
hear Terence calling to him that it
was time to pull him up until his
fellow worker raised his voice in an
CRY protest.
"Pull me up" called Terence.
"Pull me up, l tell ye. If ye don t
pull me up, drat ye, I'll cut the
rope, and then where'll you bc|-

CURIOUS EFFECT OF COLD.
Many Substances at Very Low Tenn
perature Become Luminous.

At about 800 degrees below zero
or thsHeabout almost everything be-
comes phosphorescent, or, in other
words, shines in the dark after be-
ing exposed to an intense light.
Even the air itself is phosphores-
cent at such a temperature, but
curiously enough a slight impurity
in the air experimental with de-
stroys its phosphorescent property.
If a perfumed handkerchief is
shaken in a room, for instance, and
air>from that room is then inclosed
in a tube and its temperature is
lowered to the required degree no
phosphorescence appears. The air
must be filtered and thus freed
from organic substances and from
hydrogen in order that the phe.
nomena Of phosphorescence and OF
fourescence, which is akin to 1t,
may be produced.
Among the substances that have
been rendered phosphorescent at
low temperatures are ivory, horn,
eggs, gelatin. india rubber, sponges,
albumen. milk, leather, cotton, tor
toise shell and certain flowers.
The metals also exhibit phospho-
rescence, but it is thought that this
is due to an organic layer on their
surface, because when they have
been scorched they lose their phos-
phorescent power.
Experience seems to indicate that
the more complex the chemical con-
stitution of a body is the more in
tense is it's phosphorescence. The
reason suggested for this is that
the structure of a complex body Of
fers special facilities for the ab-
sorption of the vibrations of light.
In fact, experiments within the
last few years have shown so many
surprising results that highly i'm
portant questions as to the nature
of matter and the constitution of
the universe have begun to be based
upon them. 1t has been asked, for
instance, whether some Of the stars
which we have regarded as fercely
blazing suns may not in fact owe
their luminosity to the phosphores-
cence arising. from a low tempera-
ture.-Harper's Weekly.

Daisy Pie.

Dining one day with friend and
being pressed to take some rhubarb
pie, Lamb declined because it was
physic.
''That may be-" said his host,
"but it is pleasant and innocent"
$50 is a daisy" rejoined Lamb,
'but | don't therefore like daisy
pie"
"Daisy pie! Who ever heard Of
daisy pies:?" said some one at the
table.
"My authority is Shakespeare" ="
Lamb replied. HE expressly men
tions daisies pied"
The phrase occurs in the song at
the end of 'Iove's Labor's Lost. "

The City Of Paris.

The founders Of Paris, emigrat-
ing from some Greek or Etruscan
country on the shores of the Medi-
terranean sea, rowed their galleys
up the river Seine. Theytook pos
session of the island in that stream
on which their city is built and, ac-
cording to the legends that have
come down to the present time,
called it "Baris," which is Greek
for boat then used upon the river
Nile, whence Paris. The island on
which the adventures landed was
held to typify boat, and to this
day the coat of arms of that IA
nous city is an ancient galley.-Ar-

A Young Flatterer.

Alpha Sd, aged six, had been
cautioned by his mamma after an
appalling break of his in inquiring
the age of a lady with whom it was
an uncertain and delicate matter,
never to allude to anybody's age or
if the age of a person was men
toned casually to let the person
believe that that person looked
Younger. Occasion came within a
few days for Alpha. to put these
Chesterfeldian instructions into
use. An old gentleman visiting the
family remarked, with the natural
pride octogenarlans sometimes show
in their distance beyond the con-
ventional threescore and ten, that
he was eighty-seven. q am sure,
Mr.. White" said the dutiful child,
"that you don't look more than
eighty-six."-Boston Transcript.

Something Else to Consider.

A young cotton worker and his
wife had been married only few
months, but it was quite apparent
to the wife that her husbands af-
fection for her was on the wane.
John developed a tendency to stay
out late at night, and now it was
early morning when his wife heard
a violent knocking at the door.
"Who's there?" asked she from the
bedroom window.
|1t's me-" replied John meekly.
Owe just come from the meeting.
We have been considering the pres
ent strike"
ooh, have you? Well, you can
sit on the doorstep and consider the
present lockoutw was the retort.-

One Way Out.

An influential woman member of
q fashionable church in Philadel-
phia had gone to her pastor with
the complaint that she was greatly
disturbed by one of her neighbors.
"Why," said she, "that man in the
pew behind ours destroys all my de-
votional feelings when he tries to
sing. Couldn't you ask him to
change his pew" The pastor re-
Aected. "WeIl," said he at last, II

chat score, especially as I should
have to give a reason. But [ tell
you what 1 might dol might ask
him to join the choir"

What Carlyle Wrote Of Tennyson.

Tennyson in his prime was thus
described by Thomas Carlyle to
Ralph Waldo Emerson on Aug. 5,
1874: zone of the finest looking
men in the world. A great shock
of rough, dusty dark hair; bright,
laughing, hazel eyes; massive aqui-
line face-most massive, yet most
delicate, of sallow brown complex
ion, almost Indian looking; clothes
cynically loose, free and easy;
smokes infinite tobacco. His voice
is musically metallic, fit for loud
laughter and piercing wall and all
that may lie between; speech and
speculation free and plenteous. l
do not meet in these late decades
such company over pipe"

MERCURY DIPS
 TOWARDS ZERO

Tuesday was the ocldest day hisbee has experienced this winter and according to old residents 1t was the eoldest in three years. A thermometer placed on a window at the fire station registered eight degrees above zero at 6.3O clock Tuesday morning, which is the lowest reported. Two other read ipgs, taken at various parts of the city. were 12 to IS degrees above zero. As the reading of a theT- mometer varies with position and other circumstances, all three ~ead- ings may be correct thougl, none of them are official
 Anyway it was cold and the old summer bromide, "ain't it hot" was takn out of moth balls and revised for winter uses. The usual and unpreventable troubles attending a freeze were experienced in the city and the only really happy peo- pie were the fuel merchants and the plumbers.
