THE BLACK BALL.
A Cunning Scheme That Was Spoiled
 by Quick Thinking.

A Cunning Scheme That Was Spoiled
 by Quick Thinking.
 Two young men in d French village were called on to draw for. .conscrip- tion. One only was wanted to complete the number, and of the two who were to draw one was the son of rich farmer and the other the child of a poor widow.
 The farmer ingratiated himself with the superintendent of the ballot and promised him a present if he could find means to prevent his son from going in the army. In order to ac- complish this the official put into the urn two black balls instead of one white and one black ball. When the young men came, he said:
 ''There are two balls, one black and one white, in the urn. He who draws the black one must serve. Your turn is first" pointing to the widows son.
 The latter, suspecting that all was not fair, approached the urn and drew one of the balls, which he immediately swallowed without looking at it.
 "Why," said the superintendent "have you done that? How are we to know whether you have drawn a black or a white ball?"
 "Oh, that's very easy to discover, was the reply. Let the other now draw. If I have the black, he must necessarily draw the white one."
 There was no help for 1t, and the farmers son, putting his hand into the urn, drew the remaining ball which, to the satisfaction of the spec tators, was a black dBe.

The almost uncanny power of the spectroscope, which has made it such a powerful instrument of research, Is the following: If any, element such as iron, copper, sodium and the like Is heat ed sufficiently to be vaporized and the light of this heated vapor is analysed by the spectroscope, it does not give continuous spectrum, but only very narrow portions of the colors, so that in reality the view presented Is that of a series of bright lines of the various colors.
