Unreal Suns.

The mock suns Of the arctic regions
are somewhat similar to the mirages OF
the desert. AS the long winter night
of the polar region wanes, once every
twenty -four hours slight glow Is seen
at some point on the horizon. Often
accompanying this glow is seen the
phenomenon Of the mock suns. Sew
eral degrees up In the heavens as
many as five Of these spectral orbs
have been seen at one time. Invaria-
bly, they are all connected in a geomet-
ric figure, the suns seemingly bound
together with circles and arcs Of light.
Often when only one appears 1t Is mis-
taken for the real god of day, and ma
lives rejoice at the early end Of the
long winter night, only to be disap'
pointed as the image disappears. The
explanation of the phenomenon Is Civ

Learn How Long a Minute 10.

A railroad man recently said tnat
few persons realize how long a minute

direction, falling over himself, losing
his breath, barking his shiSs and dam
aging the scenery generally, to fall up
the steps and gasp unpleasantly for the
next half hour. II, on the other hand,
a railroad man wishes to take a train
he waits until half a minute OF the
starting time, puts on his overcoat and
hat leisurely, saunters across the yard,
perhaps stops to give a few instruc-
lions to a workman and swings him.
self calmly up on to the steps In ample
time before the train begins to move.
No; 1t is not only because he knows
the ropes, but because he has an accu-
rate idea how much time there Is in a
minute. Perhaps that explains their

Fires That Never GO Out.

There are many household fires In
England which are kept burning con-
tinuously. In several Yorkshire inns
which, like the Falcon, on Cloughton
moor, make a speciality Of peat cakes
there is always a ruddy glow on the
hearth.
There are whole districts in Wales,
too, where domestic fires never go out,
Once lit, they are kept alight because
Of the difficulty Of starting them. This
Is owing to the peculiar character OF
the fuel. which is culm, a mixture OF
anthracite coal and clay. In every
house In the culm districts the last job
at night is making up the fire, and then
It IL time for bed. There is no inclina
tion to tarry, for nothing looks more
dead than the black, sodden mass from
which smoke is curling. But in the
morning the bellows quickly bring
blaze, and the kettle boils In ten min
tes' time.-London Answers.

Discovery of Speed of Light.

One Of the greatest discoveries Of
science is due to observation Of the
eclipses of Jupiter's moons 1t was
found that when the earth was in the
part Of its orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes
earlier than when it was in the far
thermost part, whereas by all rules Of
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time. 1t was
deduced from this that the light was
not instantaneous and consequently
took sixteen minutes to traverse the
diameter of the earth's orbit, dis
lance of about 100000 900 miles. thus
giving to light velocity Of 10000
miles a second. which was accurately
shown later by other experiments
