Chrlstmas in History. It fa nerfectlv


 safe to say that-aH things considered 1 the most influential event in all recorded history was the advent of Christ Nothing else approaches it in far-reaching inn portance to the welfare of the human race. Whether all the peoples of the earth square their lives according to the l precepts of Jesus or not, He is recognized by all as the supreme event of all history, One fact alone proves this beyond all doubt What other person has been ! strong enough to make his birthday the l dividing point of all human history? Has 1 such universal honor ever been even suggested in connection with any other | birthday. The followers of Mahomet 1 made futile attempt to thus honor the ! prophet but the Mohammedan hegiars slowly crunb1ed before the Christian l chronology. To the very end of time the l letters B. c. and 4. D. will be used Nc one but Jesus has been big enough tc divide all events into two cIasses-tfose | before ana since his birth.

Puzzling screen Ray"

The socalled "green ray is the
green coloration sometimes seen for
a second or two in the narrow bit of
the suns disc projecting above the
horizon at sunrise and sunset. Some
irregular dispersion of the rays of
light has been assumed to account
for it, but it is found to be explain
able by regular dispersion. In the
latter view, the earth's atmosphere
acts as prism to form vertical
spectrum Of the sunlight. A. DAMON
and G. Rougier, who have expert
mented at the Strasbourg Cathedral,
show that the blue and violet rays
may be absolved in traversing the
great depth of air, and the green, be-
ing thus left at the end of the spec
trum, is the last color seen. With a
telescope, q green fringe around the
upper portion Of the suns disc at
sunset has been seen for ten min
utes under favorable conditions.

Copper and Steel.

The use of a small portion Of cop
per in all iron and steel products ex-
posed to air and moisture is advised
by D. NJ. Buck, metallurgical engineer
of the American Sheet and Tin Plate
company. The use of 0.15 to OBS
per cent. in normal open hearth or
Bessemer steel greatly lessons cor
rosion, but heretofore the use of cop
per steel has been chiefly confined to
sheet metal. 1t is estimated that the
life of the sheet metal is at least
doubled by the addition. Copper
melts at about 700 degrees Fahren-
heit below the average tapping tenn
perature of the steel, and it diffuses
readily through the metal, without
tendency to separate out afterward.

INGERSOLL'S NAME EFFACED.
lightning Continually Strikes Hill
nois Capitol and Infidel's Name.

There is found in the Savannah
Press an intensely interesting arti-
Gle which tells of some mysterious
agency which has made way with the
corner stone of the Illinois state
house. We are told that when the
capitol at Springfield was built in
1858 the corner stone carried the
name Of all state officials. The attor-
ney general of Illinois at that time
was Robert G. Ingersoll and many
people protested against the inscrip-
tion Of his name, because Ingersoll
was a bold and unblushing atheist.
The remarkable thing abou tthe
building is that from the time the
stone was laid. say the people OF
Springfield, lightning made the build
ing it's target. Once, even before the
walls were complete, the stone was
moved from it's place by a terrific
stroke of lightning.
Year after year, it is declared, al
most every summed clouds floating
over Springfield hurled down a bolt
at the state house. Old residents
declare that each bolt seemed to aim
itself at the corner stone, and that in
time the name Of Ingersoll was al
most effaced. Finally, in 1905, the
zinc covering of the dome was melt
ed so seriously by the incessant light
ming strokes that it was replaced with
copper sheathing.
Recently some one discovered that
the plain, unlettered block now at
the corner stone was not the origi-
nal stone. Common rumor charged
a fraternal order with chiseling away
the name of the atheist. There was
prompt denial of the charge.
Whether the electricity has burned
out the name of Ingersoll or wheth-
er the corner stone has been re-
moved does not seem to have been
settled. The official records of the
state architect do not show when any
official change of the corner stone
has ccurred.-Augusta Chronicle.

1T is TO LAUGH.
Funny Judges and Many Others
Taken Up.

About the safest thing in the way
of a reputation for humor is the
name Of the funny" judge. At the
theater the audience can take the
jokes or leave them. The punning
professor may get his need of per-
functory smokers, but he gets little
more. The judge, master of all he
surveys in the court room, has only
to hint at anything remotely resem-
bling a joke to send clerks and the
learned counsel into Mysteries and
get a sympathetic chortle from all
present.
But the reputation ought to be left
to the oral testimony-to print his
honor's witticisms in bare type is to
expose his nakedness to the winds.
Witness, for example, that learned
artist and most witty of all British
judges (by reputation), Judge Dar-
ing of the kings bench division.
The record before US is from the
Westminster Gazette and the head
ing a "Mr. Justice Darling and the
Process of Picking Sprats." (Hold
your sides, here comes overwhelmingly
funny stuff, is the plain inference.)
And what follows:
"Well, it seems that the action was
about a quantity of anchovies Grade
name for picked sprats, it appears)
supplied by one fish merchant to an
other. Counsel asked one of the wit
ness if he had heard of Mrs. Bea-
tons process of picking sprats.' If
not he had the lady's book with him
and would read it. Whereupon there
follows eractly this: His lordship:
Who was Mrs Beaton? (Laughter.)
And when counsel had explained that
she was a great authority on food
preparation, my lord the merriment
reaches it's climax in two (Laugh-
ters) thus: His lordship: Then are
you going to call Mrs. Beeton-
(Laughter)-because I don't know
that Mrs. Beaton can be read in
court of law as an authority?'
(Laughter.)
A little more follows in which his
lordship gets another score by OBJ
serving that an anchovy is really "a
kind of embalmed fish," and the up
roarious scene is over. We picture
the weakened counsel wiping the
merry tears from their eyes and en-
deavoring to go on with their argu-
ment. Another big day in the humor
of the British bench has passed into
history. ::
Is this to be explained as simply
British humor at it's morn? Alas, no;
for the one perfect parallel that leaps
to mind is our own Congressional
Record. Wherever you see (laugh-
teri coming there, you can be conf
dent of particularly sad utterance.
The trouble plainly is with all hui
NOR from on high, with every wit
who knows in advance that however
poor his jest he can be sure of
