IL Rafned StarA

In North Africa and the DESERT
the author tells of wondrous spec.
tacle he witnessed while raversing
the desert toward Tougourt. He says:
Then In the last half hour l wit
messed strange phenomenon The
whole sky was powdered with stars;
i had never seen such a myriad glim-
mer and glow, thickening. filling the
heavenly spaces. innumerable, and all
at once they seemed to interlink, great
and small, with rays passing between
them, and while they shone in their
places, infinite in multitude, light fell
from them in long lines like falling
rain down the whole concave of night
from the zenith to the horizon on every
side. 1t was Niagara of stars The
celestial dome without break was
sheeted with the starry rain. pouring
down the hollow sphere OF darkness.
from the apex to the desert rims No
words can describe that sight as a
mere vision: still less can they tell it,
mystical effect at the moment. 1t was
Ike beholding a miracle. And it was
not momentary; for half an hour. as
we drove over the dark level, obscure,
silent, lonely. was arched in and shad
owed by that ceaseless. starry rain
on all sides round. and as we passed
the great twin lights of the gates and
entered Tougourt and drew up In the
dim and solitary square it was still
falling"

NUMBERING Houses.

The now almost universal custom Of
numbering private houses so that they
can be easily identified is only a little
more than 400 years old 1t was in the
year 1913 that this idea struck the
fancy of Partisan architect. but IL
was not until nearly three centuries
later that the system became at all
general.
In Berlin an eccentric method of
numbering the houses was first adopt
ed. They were numbered without any
reference whatever to the name of the
street. A tenants address would be
described merely as 1000 Berlin" In
st. Petersburg an excellent way of dis
playing the numbers is employed-lit-
tie lanterns bear the numbers on the
glass. so that they can be seen after
dark. In the later Stuart times" saws
Macaulay, .the houses Of London were
not numbered. and there would. indeed
have been little advantage In number
ing them. for Of the coachmen. char
men. porters and errand boys Of the
city very small proportion could
read. 1t was necessary to use marks
which the most ignorant could under
stand. The shops were, therefore, dis
tinguished BY painted or sculptured
signs. which gave q very gay and

Luray Man Has close Brush
With A Falling Meteor.

Gilbert ]. Burner, the Luray
ieweler, while driving up the
hill this side of Springfield a few
nights since, saw a remarkable
meteor, says the Page News and
Courier. From his position
it had the appearance OF d
huge ball oil fire fully eight feet
in diameter with a fiery tail so
feet in length. It fell in ]. G..
Richards field several hundred
yards from Mr.. Burner, flying to
pieces when near the ground.
While it was pitchy dark before
the meteor appeared, it made
light enough to read by with
ease, had Mr., Burner been Of a
mind to read at the time, WHICH
he was not. He did not stop to
carry away pieces OF the meteor
as souvenirs.
The meteor made emendous
swishing noise as it went through
the air, like that made by a flock
Of wild geese, only many times
louder.
Several others report having
seen it though none had as close
a brush with it as Mr.. Burner.

Coal and Sp,oka

Smoke Is caused by failure to burn
the combusdble gases that arise when
fuel is exposed to the fame. The edi-
tor Of Power describes these gases as
"a complex mixture Of various hydro
carbons. from some Of which carbon
separates on cooling in the form of
lampbiack or SCOT. The smoker fuels
also give of tarry vapors, which con.
dense and help to gather the carbon
particles into flakes or SHUTS.
For the burning of these gases as
they are evolved from the coal three
conditions must exist: Air must be
supplied above the fuel bed. the tenn
perature must be high enough to in
sure ignition and there must be time
or space for combustion before the
mixing currents OF gas and air are
cooled by flowing into or among the
tubes of the boiler"
Firing coal In large quantities pro
duces so much gas that neither air
supply nor combustion space is great
enough for its burning. Therefore coal
should be put on in small quantities at
frequent intervals.
