Tn. Msoio Of a siohon.

When a pipe shaped like the inverted
letter u, In which the arms are Of
equal length, is filled with water and
each end of the pipe is put into a sepa-
rate vessel full of water "the down
ward pull. or weight, of the liquid in
each Of the two arms will balance the
other, and If the water is at the same
level in the two vessels it will re-
main at that level in both vessels.
But If the level of the water in one
vessel is lower than in the other, since
the two vessels are connected with a
pipe full of water, the water viii run
down from the higher level to the low
er. This constitutes what is called a
siphon A siphon itself has no more
magic about it than a pencil has VIII
it falls or than any other similar phe-
nomenon in nature, yet some Of the
siphon's manifestations seem to be
not only magical. but almost incredible.

Eornsrx In Ancient erseee.

Dactyl is Greek for finger, and from
this the word Autobiography. to apply
to a knowledge of finger rings, has been
accepted, though evidently a misfit.
Rings as signets bark back TO ancient
Egypt. from which country they prob
ably came to Greece. Solon, the Greek
lawgiver. who died 55S years before
the Christian era, enacted a law that
no engraver or cutter Of signet rings
should keep by him the impression of
any ring he had cut AS these rings
were used TO sign documents Of various
kinds, this law was intended to pre-
vent fraud and forgery.

a.v rr.. s.l;ess.

Long before the time OF Shakespeare
the bay tree was an object Of super
stition. The witherlng Of such a tree
was believed to be a sure indication OF
coming misfortune 20 those with whom
It was in any way connected. Shake
speare gave voice to the superstition
in "Richard H." when he made one of
his characters say:
'ris thought tho king is dead; wen not
stay
The bay trees in our country are with
cred.
II was thought by the ancients that
lightning would never harm this tree,
and it was customary among them to
carry bay leaves as a charm against
the thunderbolts Of Jove. The same
belief was long prevalent in England,
and reference 10 1t may be found in
an old poem dedicated 70 Ben Jonson:
/ see that wreathe which doth the wearer

HnmhIn pie.

There is a queer twist of language in
the phrase 'to eat humble pie" The
word humble is a corrupted form Of
the original humble" which is an in
edible part of the carcass Of deer and
would make very poor pie. The words
"humble pie" have the same original
meaning as ito eat crow" a phrase
common in political life. There is an
enforced humility in this process. and
the change from humble" to "humble"
introduced a thought which harmonized
with the idea sought TO be expressed.
The last form of the phrase has en-
tirely supplanted the original.

Oliver Wendell Holmes recorded his
protest against the custom of telling a
person who does not actually ask to
know that he cannot recover. AS that
loving observer of mankind asserted, so
must every one who knows whereof he
speaks assert that people almost al
ways come to understand that recov-
cry is impossible. 1t is rarely need
full to tell any one that this is the case.
