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 air from one piece of metal to another electricians can determine the volt age of a current: and it is by setting a current to making broad jumps and then scoring the feat with tape measure that the very high yoltages used nowadays are ordinarily meas ured. But the judges of these ath- letic feats have recently determined that the electricity jumps much more surely from some sparks than from others, just as a man is not likely to jump so we'll from mud spot as from firm ground
 Spark gaps. as these jump measures are called because of the great elee- trie spark that jumps across the gap, have been made of needlepoints. says the Saturday Evening Post Now it has been found that if metal spheres are ussd, and the electricity made to jump from one to the other, the re- suit IS more accurate; and sphere spark gaps are replacing the needle point jumps.
 Even with spheres to jump from the athletic electricity is not entirely satisfied unless each sphere is as big in diameter as the jump the current expected to make. With such spheres the spark of current of 500.o00 volt age will break down when the spheres are a little moro than 15 inches apart.

Millennium Club.

Millennium One way to bring about the millennium Is to have noth- ing 10 do with any article of food or clothing that is produced by the tor ture or death of a living thing A com pany Of women in Boston organized upon this platform as the Millennium club has aroused considerable interest among manufacturers and importers The members have pledged themselves to eat no meat. to wear no kid gloves. leather shoes, slippers or belts. algrettes. wings. qulls or shell combs But in making no distinction between things tortured or things killed for food or clothing the club blunders. The millennium does not come in this way. If some things in this world were not being constantly killed their survival and rapid multiplication would be productive of anything else but millennium for the higher orders of life.

Various Earthquake Sounds.

Earthquake sounds are described as variations of heavy rumbling. so low in pitch as almost to be more felt than heard tin many cases inaudible to per sons who are deaf to very low tones), and belonging to one or another of the following types: The passing of wag- ons, thunder, wind, the fall of a load of stones, the fall of heavy body, an explosion. or some other miscellane- ous sound. In strong earthquakes the sound area occupies a central region ton an average two-thirds) of the dis. turbed region; in moderate earth quakes the two areas are approximate ly of the same magnitude; while in many slight earthquakes the sound area is larger than the disturbed area. As rule the beginning of the sound precedes the shock, and the end of the sound follows the end of the shock.

Few well-meaniDg creatures have been more thoroughly misunderstood than the homely. meditatiye and retir- ing toad
 Formerly the toad vas considered a yenomous reptile. but in our day It's habits have been more carefully observed and It's great value to the pomologist and gardener has been fully established on account Of it's propensity for destroying insects.
 We should. therefore. cultivate the friendship and assistance Of the in sectivorous reptiles. including the striped snake, as well as that of the birds.
 Every tidy housewife detests the Two or three domesticated toads would keep the coast clear of these and would be found more desirable than a cat, as they are wholly free from trespassing on the rights of man as does the cat The toad is possess ed Of a timid and retiring nature, low ing dark corners and shady places, but under kind treatment becoming quite tame
 Many instances might be cited of pet toads remaining several years in family and doing most valuable sery- ice with no other compensation than that Of immunity from persecution.
 In Europe toads are carried to the cities to market and are purchased by the horticulturists, who by their aid are enabled to keep in check the null tiplicatlon of the insect tribes which prey upon their fruits. flowers, etc.

London people have discovered or adopted. rather. an agreeable way to keep their houses free from flies and mosquitoes. They burn sandalwood. which has pleasant odor, but one which is disliked by these summer pests. The idea has been imported from the Orent, where it has been used for many years.
 The sandalwood can be bought at al most any Turkish or Japanese import ing house. lt Is prepared for burning by being cut up into pieces about half an inch thick and three inches long, and then baked or dried in slow oven for twenty-four hours A piece of the wood is then lighted and placed in a metal urn.

 There the matter ended until the express reached Lausanne. when the owner of the baggage prepared to get out
 Pardon me" said the tourist, that luggage does not belong to you,' and called the guard. The latter sided with the tourist and the whole matter was placed before the station master. The selfish traveller had to prove, piece by piece, that the luggage on the seat belonged to him. and he fin ally was obliged to pay for two sec ond class tickets.
