CoIors In Fireworks.

The chief constituents of all fire
works are gunpowder and its in
gradients. Iron and steel filings
and cast iron borings, free from
rust, are used to increase the
brightness of the display and pro-
duce the Chinese fire. When the
rocket explodes up in the air the
bright and varicolored sparks are
produced by these filings as they
ignite in the oxygen. Copper FL
ings and copper salts are used to
produce %greenish tints. A fine blue
is made with zinc filings. A light
greenish tint with much smoke is
made out of sulphuret of anthony.
Amber, rosin and common salt pro-
tected from dampness produce a
yellow fire. Salts of strontia make
a red light. A green light is also
made by the salts of barium.

BLOOMING Traffic REGULATOR,

a RANSOM cab while going through
a narrow London street was stopped
by a line of carriages on one side
and by a stationary cart filled with
Towering plants on the other.
"Cabby" civilly requested the
driver of the cart to move on and
let him pass, but was answered with
"a defiant grunt and sheer, where
upon the cabman brought his
horses head in close proximity to
the cart and then slackened the
reins.
AS the animal began to browse
among the mignonette and gera-
uiums his driver called out to the
florists man:
Hes a-smelling on 'em, amt
he?"
The driver of the cart turned
round in time to see a long stalk
with a flower at the end of it ex-
tending from the horses mouth.
In a moment the way was clear for
the hansom.-London Tit-Bits.

A physician explains how the
worm gets into the chestnut. When
the nut is still green an insect
comes along and, hunting a warm
place in which to have its eggs
hatched, lights upon the green
chestnut and stings it. At the same
time it deposits some of its eggs in
the opening thus made. The chest
nut begins to ripen, and at the same
time the eggs are Matching. The
insect selects chestnuts as a place
for depositihg its eggs as being the
best adapted place by instinct. The
floury matter in the nut turns to
sugar, and sugar contains carbon,
which produces heat.

Daddy LongIegs.

Most people are acquainted with
the insect called daddy longlegs,"
but not everybody knows that there
is evidence to show that this
strange little creature, towering
high above its fellows on it's thread
like stills, is probably q more an
cient inhabitant of America than
any representative of the human
species. Far back in tertiary time,
at the very dawn of the modern
world, its ancestors lived, we are
told, in great numbers in hat part
of the continent which we call Colo
RADIO. The fossil remains of these
insects show the characteristic fea-
lures that mark them today, al
though new species have taken the
place of the old. Even daddy long
legs knows what evolution is.

GOOD NATURE IN JAPAN.
They Laugh at Things There That

Japan has been called the Third
Kingdom of Merry Dreams. Amusc-
ment is universal here, and, so far
from its being true that daughter

laughs, except the solemn police
man. Men, women and children,
even the very dogs, have a twinkle
in their eyes as they stretch them
selves out over the middle of the
streets and seem to smile as the
coolies pulling jinrikishas run
around them, for a man would no
more think of running over a dogs
tail, if the dog did not move, than
he would think of ~pinching his
grandfather, and l have been al

up behind another schoolboy and

turned round, and they both
laughed heartily. Many "A time my
heart has been in my mouth as my
two coolies have plunged headlong
into a crowd intent on some street
performance and it seemed impos-
sible to avoid knocking down men
and women and running over little
children. But, no; the coolies raise
a great shout, shove half the people
one way and half the other, and, as
the spokes of the wheels Craze their
shins and almost take the topknots
off the little people, do they turn
and hurl curses after us, as a crowd
responds to such treatment any
where else? Not they. They just
burst out laughing.-Henry Nor

still In the Fifteenth Century

In a little town in Bavaria there
exists one of the most curious char
liable foundations in the world.
One of the burghers, Christopher
Wanner, died in 1851, leaving his
fortune to be devoted to the estab-
lishment of a home for aged poor.
He stipulated in his will, however.
that every old man who was taken
in must wear his beard and the
same cut of clothes and cap as he
himself used to wear. Consequent
ly, after the lapse of AGO years, the
ancient pensioners are still to be
seer wandering about the streets in
the costumes of the fifteenth GEN.
