There he plants himself ON Ills two

that approaches, and as he Is more

An lronclad Of 1855.

It Is generally supposed that the
first use of arnor for battleshiIs was
during the Crimcan war. As matter
OF fact. the Dutch claim to have been
the pioneers Of ironclad building more
than 800 years ago. During the fa
nous siege of Antwerp by the Span.
iards in 1886. says J. Il. Hale in "Fa.
nous Sea Fights" the people Of the
city built a huge flat bottOmcl war
ship. armed with heavy iron plates.
which they named the Finis Reili. q
bOastful expression Of the hOT,e that
she would end the war. An Oil print
Of the Finis Relli shows four inaste;l
ship with high poop But the yes
sci steered badly and eventually ran
aground under the Spanish batteries
and fell into the hands Of their com
mander. the Duke Of Parma. He kept
the Finis Bell as curiosity till the
end OF the siege.

Rain After Thunder.

Why does heavy downpour Of rain
often follow a clap Of thunder? asks
the Popular Science Monthly, and gives
this answer: Not, as Is popularity be-
lieved, because the thunder jostles the
cloud particles together into raindrops.
In the violent turmoil between the pos
tive and negative electricity in Z
thundercloud there will be places
where the production Of drops by con-
densati0n and their subsequent break
ing up proceeds more rapidly than else
where. Hence In these places there
will be more drops to fall as rain and
also more electrification, the, rainfall
occurring about the same time as the
fash.
We have, then, starting toward the
earth at the same tinae, light, sound and
raindrops. The light, travelling at q
speed Of about $4,000 miles per Sec
ond. reaches us almost instantly. The
sound travels far more slowly-ab0ut
1,O9O feet per second-but the rain falls
much more slowly still. Thus we OBJ
serve, first, the lightning, then the thun-
der and then the rain.

AS a part of the scheme of meeting
these enormous expenditures congress
passed the $2,535, 100000 war revenue
bill, the largest taxation bill in Amer
lean history. levying directly or In
directly upon every man. women and
child in the United States. Something
more than billion dollars of this
amount will be taken from war profits.
All INCOMES more than $1,000 for sins
Gle men and more than $4,000 for mar.
ried men are made subject to taxation.
Where New Taxes Fall.
Here are some things upon which
the average citizen will pay taxes un-
der the new war tax bill:
Approximately 2 per cent increase
on incomes of $1,000 or less.
Letter postage, except local letters,
increased to 8 cents and postcards to
2 cents, beginning November 3.
One cent for each 10 cents paid for
admissions to amusements.

a Summer Without Nights.

To the summer visitor in Sweden
there Is nothing more striking than
the almost total absence of night At
Stockholm, the Swedish capital. the
sun goes down few minutes before
10 o'clock and rises again four hours
later during greater part of the
month of June. But the four hours
the sun lies hidden III the frozen north
are not hours Of darkness. The re.
fraction OF his rays as he passes
around the north pole makes midnight
as light as cloudy midday and en-
ables one to read the finest print with
out artificial light at any time during
!. the night
