June number of Hearst's Maga-

and you will probably find yourself
agreeing in opinion 'with the great
astronomer Kepler when he de-
clared that if pewter dishes leaves

One of the most interesting re-
suits of the progress of science is
the opening of our eyes to the as

iustments by which everything in
nature is made to run safely and
smoothly Perhaps we unduly fiat

devout minds believe that they can

read there the laundering hand of

Suppose that you we're in a great
mine, buried deep in the earth, and
that you saw, from time to time. a
crinkling flash Of fire dartlng
through the air You would shrink
into yourself through fear You
would believe that at any moment
the whole mine might be blown up.
You would tremblingly recall many
stories of terrible mine explosions,

A Kind of Mine

Now. when YOU are on the sur

escape. Every time bolt Of light

little of the nitrogen, which is
one Of the two principal gases con-

One night, while giving a lecture
in New York. the operator of the
lantern carelessly allowed a rub
Der tube to slip out of place. In
stantly there was a lightning flash
and a loud explosion, which sent
the audience flying, with cries of
dismay. out of every exit, though
fortunately nobody was hurt. The
operator had let little hydrogen
escape, and it had met just enough
oxygen to produce an explosive
combination. But. if the operator
was careless, he had nerve. In
stantly he turned a cock that
stopped the escaping hydrogen, and
the danger was over.
Now, remark this significant
fact: THERE is NO FREE HY-
DROGEN IN THE AIR. The earth
can't hold hydrogen gas. If 1t
gets out it flies away into space,
because its molecules are too live
ly to be permanently retained by
the earth's gravitation. But we can
imagine a planet having the pow
er to hold hydrogen in its atmos-
phere. Suppose the air of such A
planet to contain two volumes of

know no reason why intelligent
beings might not be SO constituted

in abundance, but, nevertheless, the
inertness of the nitrogen, its indis-

refuses to catch fire as a whole.

Denver, Dec 13.-Detectives began
vigil tonight around the cloth draped
cage of a parrot. in the hope that the
bird would testify as the sole witness
to the supposed murder and suicide Of
Mr. and Mrs. ID. G. Johnson, whose
bodies were found in hotel room on
TUESDAY.
The bird was found walking restless

believing there was a quarrel before
the tragedy, called in an ayiculturist to
cross examine the parrot.
The bird refused to answer, and as
final resort 1t was suggested that the
cage be covered and watched, as the
bird might then Groom some sharp
calculations and eXclamations that
would have impressed it had quarrel
occurred before the tragedy.
