The EirefIy's Liuht.

Probably as far back rs 1873 1t 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 1t has been possible to prove
this permanence Of the light giving
power for Mt least eighteen months.
Kastle and McDermltt were able upon
opening tubes containing the luminous
organs Of the common FREELY preserv-

quite a brilliant light by simply mOis-

creased when hydrogen peroxide re-
placed the water. However, scientists

OF producing light without heat.

He Paid For the Boots.

According to an old French tale. a
number of shoemakers argue the ques-
ton, Which one of them Is the most
meekly submissive to his wife? To the
one who Is least so the host offers to
give the best pair of boots in his shop.
IL any one claims the boots and fails
to prove his claim he must pay double
price for them. The boots are claimed
by a man who declares that he Is not
afraid of his wife. The man who Of

aback by the mans confident manner
but he determines not to let his boots

Eira and Water.

Water will extinguish n fire because
the water forms n coating over the
fuel, which keeps It from the air. and
the conversion of water into steam
draws off the heat from the burning
fuel. A little water makes a fire
aercer, while a large quantity Of water
puts 1t out, The explanation is that
water Is composed Of oxygen and by
drogen. When, therefore. the fire can
decompose the water into its simple
elements II serves as fuel to the flames
