Consider the Dew.

The question is often asked, Does the
dew rise or fall? Dewfall is as admis-
sible an expression as sunrise or sun
set. In both cases the expression is at
variance with scientific fact. Meteoro-
logically. the formation Of dew is not
accompanied by motion in the vertical
plane. hence there can be no question
Of rise or fall. Under certain condi-
tons of wind. cloud and temperature
variants dew is produced Warm air
charged with moisture comes in con
tact with a cooler surface. When In
this contact the heat is subtracted from
the air and the saturation point for
that temperature is reached, the mOis-
ture, which in the air has existed as
water vapor. is condensed upon the
cooler surface at the point of contact.
The dewdrop, also good English. al
though false physics, has no existence
in the air, but comes into being upon
the surface believed. 1t does not fall
nor does 1t drop.

.ALLAH's HUNDREDTH NAME.
Only the Camel Knows II; Hence the
Sheer on Its Face. -,


The 800 widows of the mosque Of
Sultan Selim remind one Of the ninety
nine names of Allah. These ninety
nine names, the Arabs say. are written
in the palms of the hands Of all true
believers. The explanation Is inter-
esting. and even an unbelieyer can
test It.
The Arabic mineral is written like
an inverted V Of the English alpha
bet. BY holding up your left hand, with
the thumb and fingers bent slightly
inward the lines of the palms will be
seen to take the form Of a rough Al,
which makes the Arabic figures 81.
Placing the right hand under the left
in the same way makes the figures
IS (1M). The total is 90
There ought really to be 100 but the
hundredth Is lost to every creature
but one.
Why does the camel wear such a SUI
percilious expression? The heavy pen
dulous under lip and the snarling curl
of the upper give an expression of
sneering contempt which can hardly
be equaled in the brute creation.
No wonder The camel alone knows
the hundredth name of Allah. and he
won't tell it.-Manchester Guardian.

Sealed Orders.

The custom of having warships sail
under sealed orders arose from the de-
sire of maritime powers to prevent the
plans from becoming known to the
enemy. In the American navy such
orders come from the president and
are delivered to commander of ship
or squadron by confidential messen-
ger who knows nothing of their con-
tents. Sometimes they are In cipher,
but they are always sealed with the
official seal of the navy department.
and the package cannot be opened UNI
til the time marked on 1t, which is
usually several hours after the hour
Of leaving port. By this precaution
the newspapers are prevented from
disclosing prematurely the movements
which may be of the greatest impor-
lance, and the spies of the enemy are
rendered useless so far as their abil-
ity to discover the secret of such
movements is concerned.

The bloody warfare, now in pro
gress between the former Balkan
allies is only what was to be ex
pected of a race long kept in sub
lection and only newly tasting the
fruits of victory and the possibili-
ty of freedom. 1t is only what
Great Britain, France, Germany and
other nations passed through during
their formative periods and criticism
should be tempered by the know
ledge shown by history for seven
thousand years that such a conflict
was inevitable. The danger, OF
course, is that after the little Balkan
nations have exhausted themselves
by fruitless fighting, some of the
big powers may pluck the fruit OF
their victory over the Turks.

The primrose Of old was credited
with a medicinal as well as a super

wrote his London Dispensary," the
primrose was regarded as an almost
universal panacea. curing commissions,

A FAMOUS OLD HOAX.
keeIy's Motor, With Which He BAT.
fled Scientists For Years.

The story of the Keely motor hoax
will live long Its interest will be en-
HANGED by the preservation in the
Franklin institute of the model of
the remarkable motor that keely built

rich its inventor until the fraud was
exposed after Keely's death.
For twenty-five years Keely astound-
ed eminent scientists of Europe and
America with the machine that he
petual motion. The inventor of this
machine would start his device going,
apparently, by playing tune on a
mouth organ. He convinced many
clever men that lie told the truth, and
stock in the new concern sold freely.
TO the day Of his death Keely de-
clared that his discovery was gen.
uine one. and it was only when the
house in which the machine was
placed was thoroughly overhauled that
the colossal fraud was discovered.
Keely had wired the walls of the
building. He ran his machine by high
pressure hydraulic power. When the
wires attached TO the machine were
the subject of investigation Keely
would file them to show that they
were solid and could not be used for
any purpose other than that for which
they were attached.
Pieces of wire thus filed arctic be
seen at the Franklin institute. The
broken pieces show that the wires
were hollow and that the inventor OF
the wonderful motor carefully stopped
his fling short of perforating the cen
ter, which would have exposed the
fraud. Scientific American.
The number OF deaths that occur as
the result Of getting hold of some
deadly poison instead of medicine
would seem TO suggest to sensible folk

common use. Moreover, bottles con-
