TAKING VOLTAGE. OF CURRENT
Electricians Experimenting to Deter
mine How Far the Spark
Can Jump.

BY measuring how far an electric
current can jump through the al,
from one piece of metal to anothe
electricians can determine the volt
age Of current; and it is by settins
a current to making broad jumps an<
then scoring the feat with tap
measure that the very high voltage.
used nowadays are ordinarily meas
ured. But the judges of these ath
letic feats have recently determine
that the electricity jumps much NOR
surely from some sparks than froE
others, Just as a man is not likely tt
jump so we'll from a mud spot as from
firm ground.
Spark gaps, as these jump measure
are called because of the great cleo
trio spark that jumps across the gap
have been made Of needlepoints, say
the Saturday Evening Post. Now Il
has been found that if metal sphere
are used, and the. electricity made {
jump from one to the other, the re
suit is more accurate; and spherl
spark gaps are replacing the needle
point jumps.
Even with spheres to jump fror
the athletic electricity is not entirely
satisfied unless each sphere is as biz
in diameter as the jump the curren,
expected to make. With such sphere
the spark of a current of 100000 volt
age will break down when the sphere;

PYTHON HAD HAD FULL MEAL.
No Less Than Six Ducks Taken From
Stomach of Snake 3hot by Hunt
ers In Bombay.

The Journal of the Bombay Ne
tional Historical Society published tie
following account of the voracity of a
python, by Mr.. p R. Cadell, l. c. s.:
"On Nov. 10, 1912, during the Dewall
holidays, while shooting at Popaturan
near Valva, in the Ahmedabad dis
trict, l was walking after snipe in
company with Mr.. j. H. E. Upper,
|. c. S., when one of the heaters cali
ed out that there was big snake.
We found that it was large pythcn,
lying torpid. We proceeded to shoot
it, and as it was lying half coiled up,
its body was naturally good deal in
jured in the process. Seeing a feaeh-
er sticking out of wound, we told
one of our men to extract the bird to
which it belonged. He pulled a duck
out Of the wound, and took out five
others, one after the other, six ducks
In all. They were all quite, or recent
ly fresh, their feathers being COM
plete and none far gone in digestion.
They looked as If they had all been
swallowed at about the same tine.
There were gadwall and spotbill
4, among the ducks, but we did not note
the description of all the ducks All
had been swallowed head foremost.
The python, when stretched out and
roughly measured, was fully eight
feet long. Is not this an unusually
heavy meal for python to make?
Shortly after, while wading in the
water after wounded duck, l saw a
snake swimming near me. 1t made
little attempt to avoid me, and shot
It through the head. 1t was a py-
thon about six feet in length"

SOURCE OF NAME IS HIDDEN
as to Whence Came the Term
"Mephistopheles-"

There has been much discussion con-
corning the origin of the word
Mephistopheles" in the past, which
has, moreover, as yet ended In no
very satisfactory conclusion. Some
very bizarre explanations had been
propounded before the time of Goethe,
who was himself forced to own to the
musician Zelter In letter of Novem-
Der '20,1829: Il cannot give any de-
finite answer to the question Whence
comes the name Mephistopheles"
According to one theory it was a
hybrid Graeco-Hebraic formation of
mephis and tophel (the liar; accord
ing to another its etymology was en-
tirely Greek-very dubious Greek
mephostophilos, The who does not love
the light" Though this derivation is
hardly acceptable, it appears that this
was the original form of the name,
the second vowel being replaced by
"f' at first in England, whence it
was taken into the popular German
mysteries.
In the last number of the Goethe
Jahrbuch' Herr Oelhke gives an en-.
tirely novel derivation, which, if far
fetched, has at least the merit Of orig
inality. 1t is based on two names in
chapters ". and XIV. of the Second
Book Of Samuel, Mephiboschett and
Architophel
