In the time Of Moses the Hittites
were apparently q small tribe Of Pal
estine, feebler than the Amorites. In
the days of the Judges they had grown
to considerable tribal importance, and
in E1isha's time they had become .
strong people, allied with Egypt in
their wars, and owning q c~onfederacy
of cities, spreading far beyond the
borders of Palestine. About 1900 B. G.
they were a vast, warlike power, con-
tending with Egypt and holding wide
possessions, says Christian Herald.
They were then q handsome, warlike
race. yellow skinned, long-haired,
beardless, and with the Monaghan
rather than the Semitic type of face.
For centuries they fought with As
syria, and their power was finally
brought to = close by the successful
campaign Of King Sargon CIT B. c..
Their kingdom ceased to exist shortly
afterward.

Rain drops are almost always
charged with electricity. The charge
is often positive, rarely negative. Many
observers have measured the charge
approximately, and made it from O.000,-

001 amper per square centimeter.
Prof. F. Herath of Kiel describes in
the Revue Electrique the experiments
by which he has measured them. He
received the rain on a fine metallic
cloth Is meters square, insulated and
attached to a galvanometer in a cellar.
The galvanometer registered photo
graphically. Among the facts he
proves are these: Rains with a con-
stantly positive charge are much more
frequent than those that change to q
negative. The passage from a posi-
tive to a negative charge corresponds
to a momentary cessation Of the show
er. The quantity of positive cleo
tricity brought by the rain Is Is times
greater than that of the negative. The
positive current in a steady rainfall
are 0.Oo0, 000, 900. 000.1 ampheres per
square centimeter. The negative cur
rents never exceed $1,000, 900, 900, 000,.

Many persons are wondering these
days what material is being used In
the construction of a%eroplanes Of the
warning European nations. Constant
fying-service which continues day
after day-has caused a belief that
metal has %supplanted wood to a con
siderable extent. As a matter Of fact
the flying machines r made almost
entirely of wood. The propellers Of
the aeroplanes are in most instances
made Of selected ash, which in addi-
ton to being strong and light, will not
split under vibration or shock. Built
up layers Of spruce with mahogany
centers are also In use. Spruce Is
used in the construction Of the frame
because of its markedly straight grain
and freedom from hidden defects .

The oldest aeronaut in the world
has just died, we'll up in his eighties,
and It is interesting to note in these
days when airships are a recognized
part Of warfare. that his first ascen-
sion was made in 1851, and that even
now we have not yet completely
achieved the conquest Of the air. But
aviation has taken a long step since
then, and this pioneer lived to see
many Of his theories. which were
probably laughed at as the rawlings of
a maniac In his day, justified by &C
complained facts.

Washington, ~, c., Aug. 4. - The
United States will before long possess
a worldwide wireless telegraph sys-
tenn approaching in completeness that
which Germany possessed at the out
break of the war, and which co1sti-
tuted one of the wonders of German
preparation for the great conflict.
Germany very plainly anticipated
the possibility that in case Of war her
communications with the outside
world by wire might be interrupted,
and so she set about creating a sys-
tenn of very highpOwer radio stations
through which she might maintain
communication. She had them on the
north shore of the Mediterranean, in
East and West African possessions, in
various parts of the Pacific, on the
China coast-scattered wherever they
might be needed and sites could be
secured tIr
