Birmingham, October 12.--G P. M.)-The barometric pressure is rising in the south and cooler weather is advancing south Memphis. as against 76 degrees at Bir- mingham.

MIGHT HAVE PUT LAST FIRST
Old Lady Wound Up With Excellent
Reason for Not Liking the
Dominie's Sermon.

Walter D. Moody, meanaging direc-
tor of the Chicago plan commission,
told the following story at a recent
luncheon Of the Chicago real estate
board:
A Scotch clergyman who had made
a particularly brilliant attempt Gas
he thought in the preparation of a
certain sermon, felt highly elated on
the Sunday on which it was delivered.
Walking home from church after
the service he encountered an old
lady who was one of his s~tanchest
Pensioners. Slipping his arm through
hers he asked:
'Aunty, how did you like my SER
mon today?" Expecting, of course, to
receive a fine word of approval from
the devout old lady, who was a great
admirer of the minister, he was cha
grined when she replied: Good do
mimic, / did not like it
You did not like it, aunty! Well,
what was the ~reason?"
There are three reasons"
Three reasons! declare! 1 pray
what was the first one?"
Il do not like ermon that are
read"
That was 0 d~isconcerting, so the
minister pressed the old lady for the
second reason.
Well" she said, q did not like the
way you read it."
Come now, aunty,' continued the
minister, that is not so bad. What
was the final r~eason?"
We'll, / dinna like to tell you, good.

ANIMALS EYES ARE MIRRORS
Perfected Light Is What Causes Them
to Glow in Dark, Not Occult
Agencies.

II is well known that the eyes of ami
mails glow like Goals in the dark. The
reason for this is commonly believed
to be because there is phosphorescent
matter in the eyeballs. There are
many, too, who attribute it to some
weird occult agencies.
But it is all perfectly natural. The
light does not come directly from the
eyes of the animals, but indirectly.
That is, it is a reflected light. Let an
animal come out of the forest and ap-
proach a camp fire. His eyes glow like
W balls of fire. This is because his
eyes are mirrors and reflect the light
while the rest of him is in darkness,
making the spectacle all the more won
derful.
II 0 go in a dark room with a
light the animal viii look directly al
the light. Then his eyes will reflect
that light.
The case is somewhat similar to the
way the moon borrows light. The
moon itself is an opaque body without
any inherent luminosity, and conse-
quently it has no I'VE of emitting
light of its own. But when the shafts
OF light from the sun fall upon the sur
face of the moon they are reflected
pack, and 1t is the suns light that
hrightens UP the surface of Il celes-
tai nightly attendant and makes it Wis
ible to us.

The Marseillaise.

There is a certain irony in the fact
that the town which produced the
"Marseillaise" is now German terri
tory. The song dates from April "a,
1892, when Rouget de Lisle, then quar-
tered at Strasburg as captain of en-
gineers, composed it in response to the
mayor OF ~strasbdrg's request for a
patriotic song.
At s~trasburg the song was printed
under the title, Chant de Guerre.
pour FArmee du Rhine" It owes its
present title to the volunteers fror.
