Short and Lono Twilight.

As twilight is caused by the resfee
ton OF the atmosphere. without which
we should be Instantly In darkness q
sunset, all parts Of the earth have
twilight, though of varying duration
When the sun has sunk eighteen de-
grees below the horizon no more light
can be refracted anywhere. but the
path Of the sun at the equator Is 50
nearly vertical that its disappearance
IS proportionally rapid.
The shortest twilight at the equator
Is one hour and twelve minutes at the
eQuinoxes in March and September;
the longest is one hour and nineteen
minutes at the sOlstices in June ana
December.
In London from May % to July II
it is twilight all through the night. No
wonder. with a disparity so great, PEG.
pie speak Of night in the tropics as
coming on almost suddenly. Farther
north still. In the Shetlands and Nor
way, we speak of the midnight sun.
where men never lose sight Of the orb
Of day and twilight Is uuknown.-Lon.

James Crossley, a noted English bib
liomaniac. hied him one memorable
day to a bookstall in Shudehill market
and. spying 4 little volume, took it up
and glanced carelessly through it.
After awhile he asked its price from
an old woman and was told it was
two and sixpence. "IIl give you six
pence for It," said Crossley. Nay"
replied the poor old dame; 1T cost me
2 shillings." Whereupon our book de-
vourer threw 1t down in disgust and
retired. A gentleman. o%verhearing the
alteration. stepped forward and pur-
chased it at the sum demanded. Cross
ley returned o after and, noticing
the book had gone, a~nxiously inquired
what had become Of it. Sold" an
swered the woman, "for what you re-
fused to give" Tell me who bought
it, and I'll give him 10 shillings for
it, said Crossley eagerly. The moral
is self evident.

A Siberian Wonder.

The scientists have for years been
perplexed over the wonderful frozen
well at Yakutsk, Siberia. As long ago
as 1928 it was announced that the
ground was frozen to an abnormal
depth at the place referred to. In the
summer Of 1929 sRussian merchant
set a gang Of men to the task of ascer-
tanning the depth Of the frozen stratum.
They gave up the job after digging
some. thirty feet in solidly frozen
ground. The Russian Academy of Sci
ences took the matter in hand and be-
tween 1888 and 1914 dug to a depth Of
1872 feet and then abandoned the shaft
because the earth was still frozen as
hard as a rock. Natural cold could
never penetrate to such a depth, and
the phenomenon is still unexplained.

4 SOLDIER OF FORTUNE.
Strenuous Career Of William Walker
the Noted Filibuster.

the Noteo fIIpuStOT.
William Walker, the noted filibuster
and soldier Of fortune, was born In
Nashville, Tenn, on May 8, 1924. For
q time he was an editor in New Or
leans and in 1850 went to California.
In the summer Of 1853 he organized
an expedition for the conquest Of the
Mixican state of Sonora. He captured
several small towns; but, his provisions
and ammunition running short, he
crossed the border into the United
States and surrendered to the govern
ment officials. He was tried at San
Francisco for violating the neutrality
laws, but was acquitted.
Walkers next venture was an inva-
sion Of Nicaragua, where he was for q
time successful and had himself pro-
claimed president. Later he was driven
from the country. Late In 1853 he
started with a force Of adventures for
Honduras, but a %shipwreck caused a
suspension Of the expedition.
In June, 1860, he made a second at
tempt and captured the town Of Trux-
lilo, but was compelled to fee and sub
sequently surrendered to the captain
of the British sloop of war ~lscarus. by
whom he was handed over to the Hon.
duran government He was condemned
by court martial and on Sept. II, 1860,
was shot to death at TruxillO.

The Ampersand.

Brewer says the sign & is called
"anders, ampers or amprus." 1t is
sometimes called "short and" In old
en- times 1t was known as ampersand,
but that word long ago fell into dis
use. 1t is simply a contracted and
rapidly made form of the Latin ct. The
name ampersand is derived from 'and,
per see and"-that is, a single symbol
which in itself is and. Ampersand,
meaning &, is used in chapter q Of
"Adam Bede" QS50: also in a poem
in Punch Of April II, 1869. The first
stanza In the poem alluded to Is as
follows:
OF all the types in a printers hand
Commend me to the ampersand.
For he's the gentleman, seems to me,
OF the typographical companie.
Oh. my nice little ampersand,
Ny graceful, swanlike ampersand!
Nothing that Cadmus ever planned
Equals my elegant ampersand.
