The HISTORIAN Stone.

The HISTORIAN stone has attracted
much attention from western scholars.
One American scientist has pronounced
it a forgery, but later investigations
seem to have established its anthem
ITCHY and show that its inscription
presents truthful account of the first
Christian mission to China
The stone was found by workmen
in the year 1925 The inscription con-
sists of three columns of Chinese char
acters, with few Syriac paragraphs,
the latter language being now I'M
known in China. 1t is long exposi-
ton of the Christian doctrines Of the
period
In China antiquarians have long held
the stone in great veneration. The
style is brief to n degree. but not easily
understood 1t has been contended
that. were fifty Chinese students vers-
ed in the various dialects of the empire
to be employed in its translation. each

Measuring Moonliaht.

The full moon is said to give a great
deal more than twice the light of the
half moon. The ratio is approximately
as nine to one
Taking advantage of the extreme
sensitiveness to light of a selenium
cell. experimenters have measured the
amount of light coming from the moon
at different phases, with the result
above mentioned. according to Har-
per's Weekly
The reason for the remarkable diff
ference shown is to be found in the
varying angles of reflection presented
by the roughened surface of our sat
elite to the sun The moon is brighter
between first quarter and full than be-
tween full and last quarter. The cause
of this is evident in the more highly
reflective character of that part of the
moon that lies west of its meridian

COMPOSITION OF A COMET.
What Would Be the Effect of Collision
With One,

Precisely what composes a comet. it
is announced, is revealed by specto-
grams of Brooks comet, and it is
something of a chemical revelation.
The head of the comet is composed
chiefly of cyanogen and the tail of
carbon nonoxide with some hydrocar-
bon, says the St Louis Globe-Demo-
crat
We gather from this that the effect
of colliding with a comet might be
something like meeting a thoroughly
aerated connection of soda water or
going through the Eads bridge tunnel
with the car windows open.
But there is a possibility that it
might be much worse Cyanogen is
not meant for breathing purposes, and
we don't think it would agree with
the lungs, even in a mild dilution with
the atmosphere 1t is gas of strong
and peculiar odor resembling that of
crushed peach leaves and burning with
a rich purple flame. This conf1agra-
ton may be what makes the comet
luminous. In it's wanderings it must
have whisked too near an open fire and
is now enjoying glorious purple fms.

KEEPING carpets Warm.

Many patents have been granted in
respect of passing electric wires or
gauze along grooves or sewn compart-
ments in carpets, table covers "and
such like" as the patent agents say,
but these have generally been for
lighting purposes, connections being
made by means of sharp spurs that
penetrate the top cover, according to
the London Sketch.
A patent has been taken out lately
in Germany in connection with run
ming fine wires through a carpet in
parallel lines connected with an ordi-
nary electric light current The wires
become warm, and in larger sizes of
carpets the temperature can be regu-
lated at will. After the current is
turned off the carpet remains warm
for two or three hours, and a small
foot rug may in this way be placed hot
in a carriage in winter and keep the
feet warm without additional current

MYSTERY OF GLASS.
Birds Fly Against Own Image Reflect
ed In Pane.

A correspondent recently reported
what he described as the curious
freak of a blackbird flying against a
parlor window many times at the same
spot, says the Scotsman.
Such an incident is not uncommon.
Birds have been known to fight for
hours at a time day after day with
their own image reflected in a pane of
glass, pecking and f1uttering against
the pane and quite exhausting them
selves in their fury to demolish the
supposed rival. 1t is another instance
of how the arts of our civilization cor
rupt and confuse the birds 1t is the
same with fishes.
Darwin tells a story of pike in an
aquarium separated by plate glass from
fish which were its proper food In
trying to get at the fish the pike would
often dash with such violence against
the glass as to be completely stunned.
1t did this for more than three months
before it learned caution. Then when
the glass was removed the pike would
not attack those particular fishes, but
would devour others freshly intro
duced.
1t did not at all understand the sit
uation, but associated the punishment
it had received not with the glass, but
with particular kind of fish OAR
wins American monkeys proved them
selves more knowing" When they
cut themselves once with any sharp
tool they would not touch it again OF
else would handle it with the greatest
caution
Thus they gave evidence of the sim
pier forms of reason of which mon
keys are no doubt capable. but birds
are evidently lacking in reasoning pow

A Great underaround River.

Biologists are claiming that the
greatest underground river in the
world flows from the Rocky noun
tains underneath New Mexico and
Texas, emptying itself into the gulf of
Mexico, says the Christian Herald.
This river is thought to be in places
several miles wide, and it is believed
that it feeds rivers that flow upon the
surface The artesian well belt of
Texas is pointed to as the uplifting of
the water from this river, often from
500 feet below.
