METALS DEARER THAN GOLD
Iridium, for Instance, Is Three Times
as Expensive-Osmiu Is Bearer
and Heavier.

Gold is generally looked on as the
last word in costliness, but. as mat
ter of fact, there are more metals
dearer than gold than there are cheap
er. The number of known metals is
about sevenSy.
Iridium, for instance, of which big
find was made the other day in Aus
tria, is three times as expensive as
gold Cold is worth nearly $40 an
ounce. Iridium is worth some $62,
though the price will probably come
down now.
Osmium is another metal much
dearer than gold. 1t costs about $50 an
ounce. It is by far the heaviest of all
known substances, being more than 22
times as heavy as water. II pennies
were made Of osmium it would tax
ones strength to carry the change OF
half a dollar This metal has the pc
culiar property of being able to stand
without melting the most intense heat
known.
Palladium, about $40 an ounce, Is
lust the reverse. 1t is quite easy to
make palladium vanish in steam. Be
ing of white, silvery color, and I'M
tarnishable, it is used for the division
marks on scales and delicate scientific
instruments.

THOUSANDS OF DRAGON FLIES
Queer Sight Witnessed by a French
Naturalist While Making Tour
Through Morbihan.

A professor Of zoology at Lille, M.
Charles Barrios, was making tour
through Morbihan, In France. AS he
was walking along the road he noticed
that multitude of dragon flies were
alighting on the telegraph wires. The
singular thing about it was that they
all rested at an equal distance from
each other, and all occupied the same
position, with head turned toward the
west.
From all sides the dragon flies ar
rived and always placed themselves
In the same position, and at the same
distance from each other. They re
NAMED as If glued to the wire, motion
less and paralyzed. Each new arrival
flew over the fixed bodies Of the
others and took it's place in the line.
This chain stretched itself out to-
ward the west. and turned toward the
setting sun. Professor Barrios fol-
lowed the route for a long distance
and found the same strange phe-
nomenon. He estimated the number
at $4,000, at least. At an abrupt turn

line turned also. There not dragon
fly was in sight! The wire was abso-
lutely free from them! With the
change of direction it seemed to have
lost attraction for them.
Was this chance? Did the electric
currents running from the east to the
west exercise any influence upon
these insects? Was it the solar re-
Election? Explain it, who can. In
any case it would be interesting to
know whether this phenomenon be an
isolated one or not.

WOE BROUGHT MOTHER FOX
Tragic Moments for Vixen After She
Had Carried Poisoned Food to
Her Litter.

On one Of the large estates in Hing
ham, few weeks ago, fox was found
to be destroying poultry. The time of
the raids, and their holiness, were
proof enough that the fox must be a
female with young. Poisoned meat
was prepared for her, and at once the
raids ceased. A few days later one OF
the workmen of the estate came upon
the den of fox, at the mouth OF
which lay dead whole litter OF young
ones. They had been poisoned. The
mother had not eaten the doctored
food herself, but had carried it home
to her family. They must have died
in the burrow, for it was evident from
the signs that she had dragged them
out into the fresh air to revive them,
and deposited them gently on the
sand by the hole Then in her per
plexity she had brought various It'd
bits Of mouse and bird and rabbit and
placed at their noses to tempt them
to wake up out of their strange sleep
and eat as hungry children ought to
eat. Who knows how long she watch
ed beside the still forms, and what
her emotions were? She must have
left the neighborhood soon after, how
ever, for no one has seen her since
about the estate.-Dallas Lore Sharp,

OF ALPS
Gorgeous CoIoring of Peaks at
Sunrise and Sunset.
Phenomenon is Most Complex, Vary
ing Greatly With the Weather, and
at Times Exhibiting Features
That Appear Mysterious.

London.-Everybody who has So
journed among the Alps, or other
snowcapped mountains, must have adj
mired the gorgeous coloring of the
peaks at sunrise and sunset. Watch
ing the splendid spectacle from day 70
day, that 1t is complex phenome-
non, varying greatly with the weather.
and sometimes exhibiting certain pc
culiarities that to the uninitiated are
decidedly mysterious.
In fine weather the following Sc,
quence of events may be noted: When
the sun has sunk nearly to the OBJ
servers horizon, the peaks to the east
ward begin to have a reddish or gold
en- hue. This fades gradually, but In
a few minutes, when the sun is little
below the observers horizon, but the
peaks are still bathed in direct sun
light, an intense red glow begins down
the slopes and moves upward to the
SUBMITS. This is identical with the
rosy twilight arch that in clear
weather rises from the eastern hori,
zon as the sun sinks Fellow the west
ern; and it is bordered below by the
blue shadow Of the earth. Now, for
few minutes, the peaks are in the
earth shadow; their rocks and SHOWS
assume liyid appearance, aptly de-
scribed by the inhabitants Of the vale
of Chamounix, whence the phenom-
ena in question are well seen on the
SUBMITS of Mont Blanc, as the 'tinte
cadavereuse."
Presently occurs the remarkable
phenomenon known as ''recoloration"
or "afterglow" In Chamounix it iB
called "the resurrection or Mont
Blanc" The peaks, from which all
color had faded, again assume rosy
tint; but this time gradually, and
without any sharp line of demarcation
between the glow and the shadow be.
meath. The recoloration is by no
means daily ioccurrence-in fact, it
is rather uncommon-and it varies
greatly in appearance and duration.
Sometimes it lasts until an hour after
sunset, and it passes away from be-
low upward. Very rarely faint sec

ond recoloration may be seen All
these phenomena may be seen, in re.
verse order, at sunrise, though they
are less common then than at sunrise.
The recoloration of the Alps has
been variously explained, but there
seems to be little doubt that it is due,
at least principally, to the reflection
from the peaks of the rosy glow which
forms in the western sky after sunset,
known as the purple light" and
which is sometimes intense enough to
constitute a secondary luminous
source. The diffuse appearance of the
recoloration, as compared with the
well defined zone Of rosy light that
rests upon the peaks while the latter
are still in direct sunlight is explained
by the broad expanse of the purple
light as compared with the small disk
Of the sun. Sometimes the sky itself
g. e., the fine dust in the upper at
mosphere) reflects the purple light"
giving rise to a second purple light"
for an observer situated at suitable
angle Of vision. This in turn may be
reflected by the mountains giving the
rare phenomenon of second recolora
ton.

We take an ordinary bottle and, ,see-

Then, placing our mouth to this. we

The result is that the air in the bot

he admitted inwardly that he had
been neglecting the church going of

Would you like to go with me or
would you boys just as soon go with

Louis, the elder. And they all went.
