Just Like a Comet.

A well known astronomer and math. ematician was on his way home one evening after having spent an hour or two in an observatory looking through a telescope at comet.
 Directly opposite him in the car sat a man with loud voice. whose mis- information concerning comets would have supplied the material for libra ry and who appeared to be talking for the benefit of the passengers. The as tronomer listened patiently for time then he said in low tone to the man sitting next to him:
 Our friend on the other side of the aisle reminds me somewhat of a comet himself.'

Sting of the Jellyfish.

The stinging threads of the common jellyfish are not strong enough to pierce the ordinary human skin. but MT. s. F. Light. in describing Philip pine medusae. notes that the sting of the tentacles is very dangerous. Swell ing and inflammation begin almost immediately. blisters form. the heart action is impaired. respiratory spasms and nervous twitchings of the muscles ensue. and there is intense general pain. The natives of Palawan re- ported that the sting may be fatal. The native remedy is sugar solution taken internally and applications of vinegar externally.-London Globe

NATURE AND lnr MICROBE.

How the Nose and the Stomach Fight
 Disease Germs.
 The thoughtful reader will say. Surely. in the battle of man against microbe there must be some natural means of defense by which men have conquered in the past long before the microscope was invented" He is right. and science is never better employed than in studying these natural de lenses. For example. we find no mi crobes at all in air just after it passes through the healthy nose. The nose is the original domestic filter" for all microbes In dust in the air. Its se- cretions are antiseptic also. and man has no more valuable outwork of de- fense than a normal nose. A choked nose. through which a person cannot breathe, means that microbes enter the lungs freely by way of the 6lterless mouth.
 In the stomach we find free hydro chloric acid. produced some half hour or less after a meal Its production from the common salt, or sodium chlo- ride. of the blood by the living cells that line the stomach is one of the wholly inimitable feats of the body. Until re gently most of US thought that the hy- drochloric acid was formed in the stom. ach solely in order to digest food. but now we have evidence to show that this hydrochloric acid IS also valuable anfiSentic wOrEfnp for once inside the body without hurting it and prob ably often saving us from the microbes of consumption and typhoid fever.
 Thus the two great avenues of entry to the body are in large degree guard. ed. It may be added that no known microbe can. unaided. penetrate the surface of the unbroken and healthy skin.-Dr. c. W. Saleeby in Youths Companion.

EVOLUTION OF SHORTHAND.
Modern stenography Had It's Start In
 the Time of Cicero.

Modern stenosraphy Had It's Start In
 tho Time of Cicero.
 To the average person the idea of shorthand writing is generally consid cred as being modern. because of the rapidity with which it has been intro duced into business life in this coun try. This is not the case. however. for history traces the use of q similar art with definiteness back to the time of Cicero, about 70 B. c. The invention is sometimes credited to Cicero and sometimes to his secretary. Tullius Tiro.
 Nothing seems to be known of any other system of shorthand during the Greek or Roman ascendency nor for fifteen centuries afterward. The first of the noted systems at the beginning of the present era of shorthand was that of Timothy Bright. whose treatise was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth. In 1900 Peter Bales brought out system similar in some respects to Bright's. but which was difficult to memorize.
 The next system to indicate progress appeared twelve years later. by John Willis. which was called '"The Art of Stenography or Short Writing by Spell ing Characterize" Then came Edward Willis. Jeremiah Rich. William Mason. Thomas Gurney. as well as many oth CTS All of these systems had many defects, and the entire idea was reju venated when in the early part of the nineteenth century Isaac Putnam. who afterward was knighted. presented his system. which is still in use and which has been the foundation for most of the systems now practiced.-Exchange.
