IntersteIIar Space.

That interstellar space is not absO- lute void, but is partly filled with par ticles of matter, however small or in visible, is the theory that an Ameri- can astronomer has evolved through the study of comets.
 His theory is based upon the fact that all bodies fall at the same rate in vacuum, but in the open air light CT bodies are retarded by friction and fall at a slower rate. If interstellar space were a vacuum all stars, com cts and planets would keep the same relative position and speed. But if it were not a vacuum the lighter celestial bodies, such as comets, would tend to be retarded by friction and fall be- hind the larger and denser. bodies.
 This retarding would be most no ticeable at the part of the comets orbit which is farthest from the sun, and the comet would tend to change it's movement at this point and as- sume an individual direction. This hypothesis seems to be borne out by his ervatiOns.-POpular Mechanics. F.

In. chenioal nataotii~s.

Great is the chemist. A glue fac. tory, which was. proud of the sticking qualities of it's glue. received many complaints that it's glue was not stick ing. and the manager believed it was not his product that was at fault, but glue made by some other concern and falsely represented to be his.
 The chemist was asked to find rem edy. He made slight change in the Nrocess of manufacture, so that when a certain chemical was applied to the glue any time after it had left the factory the glue would immediately change to a certain color. Salesmen were then given bottles of this chem ical. Whenever they were told that their glue had failed they asked to see the faulty work and then dropped some of the chemical on the dry glue. If the proper color appeared it was their glue. otherwise it was a competitors.
 If the customer doubted the test the salesman could prove the fairness of it by trying it on any of his firms glue. This stopped the complaints Saturday Evening Post.

MosBY FLED WITH HIS MEN.
An Attack That Wholly DemoraIized
 the Partisan Rangers.

Colonel John $. Mos y, commander sue dashing service in the southern cause, told of an amusing incident in which he figured.
 In the summer of 1864 when General Phil Sheridan was in the valley of the Shenandoah he found himself much harassed by Mosby, who was continu- ally cutting off his supply trains. An army cannot fight on an empty stom. ach, and Mosby knew it. One bright morning Mosby heard that a long sup. ply train was winding its way down the valley. By noon the rangers ir their gray uniforms were gathered al the forks of the valley pike, watching for the head of the wagon train to ap. pear.
 Presently a cloud of dust was seen rising far up the road, and as the wind blew it aside the Confederates caught sight of a line of men in blue escorting caravan of numbering wagons drawn by mules. Instantly Mosby gave the order to run little howitZer up on the side of a hill and unlimber 1t. As soon as the gun had opened fire the rest of the men were to make a cavalry charge and throw the train into confusion.
 The rangers jerked the gun into DO. sition and began to swab it out. Sud denly the man with the swab gave a shrill yell, seized the seat of his panta. looms and. fled down the hill and out into the road. Almost in the same moment the other man at the gun abandoned it. He seemed to be fight. ing at the air as he disappeared over stone wall.
 The suffers wagons were creeping nearer, and MoSby did not know what to think of such extraordinary conduct. He ordered four more men to the gun, but hardly had they reached it when they, too, yelled, began to beat the air lnadly with their hats and took to flight.
 Squirting his horse over the stone wall, Mosby .rode toward the gun, but his stay was short. The howitzer stood just over q hornets nest, and those busy insects were resenting the intru- sion. They had repelled the invaders on foot, and now they swarmed on Mosby's horse till the maddened ami nal tore off down the pike on run. Then they turned their attention to the rest of the troop.
 Their attack was go vicious that the rangers gave up any idea of standing by the gun. They scattered far and wide, and it was an hour before they returned. When they did the wagon train had safely vanished in the dis tance. So the hornets saved the day for Sheridan.-Youth's Companion.

Rounh rraininn at Eton.

Early ill the last century many boys at Eton, England, had to undergo a rough training. An old EtOnian who left the school in 1884 describes his experiences there as worse than that of many inmates of a workhouse or jail. To get up at 5 on freezing win ter mornings; to sweep their own floors and make their own beds; to go two by two to the pump for scanty
 wash; to eat no mouthful of food until
 a. m.; to live on an endless round of mutton,, potatoes, and beer, none of them too plentiful or too good; to sleep
 ill a dismal cell without chair or table such was the lot of boys whose par ents could not afford to pay for a pri- yate room: Some of these underwent privations that might have broken down a cabin boy and would be thought inhuman if inflicted on galley slave"

Where Science Fails.

- Science has wrought many achieve ments, but it has not cleared up a sin gle elemental mystery, and it has cre- ,ated thousand lesser mysteries that 4never. were imagined until science came. Science has demonstrated that this oak of world used to be an acorn, but how that acorn came into existence or whence it obtained the latent elements that now have become an oak science has not suggested. Sci ence has made it possible for manu- facturer to cut down three trees in his forest at 7:35 in the morning, to have them made into paper at 9:34 and to have them selling on the street as newspapers at 1925, but whether the
 ma nufacturer himself is a brain that has q mind or is a mind that has a brain, science. cannot even guess.-At- 'lantic Monthly.

Ancient Euyptians,

That the ancient Egyptians were not negroes is certain, and it is equally certain that they did not belong to the Semitic or Jewish race. Said the late Professor Huxley: 'I am not aware that there are any living people who resemble them, except the Dravidian tribes of central India and the Austra- Hans, and I have long been inclined to think that the latter are the lowest and the Egyptians the highest mem bers of a race of mankind of great antiquity, distinct alike from Aryan and Turanian on the one side and from negro and negrite on the other" In word, nobody can say with any degree of assurance what breed of men the builders of the pyramids were-New York American.

LONDON PEA SOUP"
Mists and !Fogs So Thick That They
 Turn Day Into Night.

Turn Day Into Night.
 London and Londoners have been the butt of many, a good joke. but perhaps the oldest subject of the humorist is the London fog The mist. which is commonly called pea soup," dates back to the seventeenth century There are records as far back as that which indicate that the city suffered even in those days from mists as intense as any of those of today
 In November, 1899, John Evelyn made note in his diary to the effect that there was "sO thick a mist and streets, it being so intense that no light of candle or torches yielded any direction. RObberies are committed between the very lights which are fix. ed between London and Kensington on both sides and while coaches and pas sengers were passing It began about in the afternoon and was gone by night At the Thames they beat drums to direct the watermen to make the shore
 Visitors to London in those days were in the habit of making fun of the fog just as the visitors of today COndomara. Spanish ambassador in Queen Elizabeth's time, said to friend who was returning to Spain, My com pliments to the sun, whom have not seen since came to England"
 In Elizabeth's time the burning of coal was prohibited while parliament was in session So dense were the fogs during the years of 1913 and 1874 that when the prince regent tried to make his way to Hatfield. the home of Lord Salisbury. he could not find his way and was compelled to forego the trip and return to Carlton House, which he reached after a succession Of accidents.-New York Sun.
