The Eiref1Y,s L.iaht.

Probably as far back as 1733 it was known that the luminous parts of fire flies, glowworms, etc, could be dried and preserved out of contact with the air for considerable periods without losing their light giving power. In late years it has been possible to prove this permanence of the light giving power for at least eighteen months. Kastle and McDermitt were able upon opening tubes containing the luminous organs of the common frefy preserv- ed in hydrogen or q vacuum to obtain quite brilliant light by simply mois- tening with water. The light was in- creased when hydrogen peroxide re- placed the water. However, scientists have yet to discover the firehy's secret of producing light without heat.

The Paper M.rk Twaln Liked.

An interesting anecdote about Edwin Litchfield Turnbull, m alumnus of Johns Hopkins university. is told in the Newsletter, the weekly student publication of his alma mater. MT. Turnbull, when thirteen years old, pub lished for the benefit of a local chari- table organization an amateur journal called the Acorn. He ran the paper entirely, doing the writing, typesetting and subscription soliciting. Among his subscribers were the late Mark Twain, the humorist, and Sidney Lanier, the Hopkins poet"
 One day he received the following letter from Mark Twain:
 Dear Sir-Yours Is the kind of paper for me-one that comes but six times n year and can be read in five minutes. Please send 1t to me for ten years. Check in closed. Yours truly, s. l., CLEMENS.

Spoiled Hi. AIib,.

A man can't be too careful in the SC. lection of his alibis Recently tho head of a family returned home early in the morning. He had boasted to his wife that he would be home early and wanted her to know that he had kcpt his word, although he had not done so. Very quietly he turned the hands of his watch back, then turned the hands of the parlor clock and the clock in the dining room. Then he threw his shoes on the floor and awoke his wife. Hate again, I suppose" she remarked. My watch says one minute to 12," he replied. She hopped out of bed and surveyed the dining room clock Not believing her sleepy eyes, she turned tb the timepiece in the parlor. "An right. but how did you do itf'' she asked He was about to give her m explanation, when the chimes of nearby church sounded two, and his alibi was shat tered. An altogether different explana- ton was given, but he was too sur prised to make 1t convincing York Tribune.

Fire and Water.

Water will extinguish Ire because the water forms a coating over the fuel, which keeps 1t from the air, and the conversion of water into steam draws off the heat from the burning fuel. A little water makes a fire fiercer, while a large quantity of water puts it out. The explanation is that water is composed of oxygen and hy- drogen. When, therefore, the fire can deeompose the water into Its simple clements 1t serves as fuel to the flames.
