Have Not Tanned LIGHTNING

When we wish to speak figurative-
ly of our achievements in electricity
we are accustomed to boast that we
have tanned the lightning" or some
thing of the kind. But in reality we
have done no such thing. Lightning
is well known natural electrical
phenomenon; but the electricity that
we use is drawn from another source
it was tame" to start with. To
catch a lightning discharge and re-
duce it's voltage so that it may be
utilized is a dilIcrc It matter. 1t may
be suggested that the result might
not be worth the trouble.
Ever since Eranlllins famous kite
was sent upon its flight certain OPP
timistic individuals have thought that
this pretty experiment was the key to
untold power and wealth. The tu-
multi caused by a severe thunder
storm has evidently led them to be-
licve' that vast quantities of electric
ity are tumbling about in the upper
air. and to render these available to
man needs only some method of tap
ping the invisible reservoir. Now, 1t
mas Deen Sdlu mat the quantity OF
electricity taking part in a flash of
lightning could be collected on a
thmble; but the handling and re-
straining of this thimbleful of cleo
tricity present problem which few
electrical engineers would care to I'M
dertake.. 1t is a great achievement
to use the water at Niagara to drive
a dynamo; but most of us would
hesitate at the thought of employing
a stream of rifle bullets for the same
purpose.-kansas City Star.

Minimizing Danger From Dust
Explosions

If the contents of siX-pound sack
of wheat flour be thoroughly distri-
buted through the air of good sized
room, the lighting of a match will
blow up the house.
Twice that quantity Of -four mixed
with 1000 cubic feet Of air in closed
place, will, if isnitcd. generate
enough force to throw $500 tons to
a height of 100 feet.
We read a good deal about the
dangers of coal dust, but recent tests
have proved that flour or any kind
Of grain dust is more inflamma Bile
than coal dust and spondingly
more liable to explode.
Another experiment proved that,
when two ounces of grain dust were
ignited in a box containing two Gu
bic feet of air, force was devel-
oped that lifted two men standing on
the cover.
1t is all a matter or rapid burning.
Take, for instance, the -four distrib-
uted through the air of a room. Ev
cry particle of it is in immediate con-
tact with the oxygen of the air, and
this makes its burning instantaneous
in case of ignition. A great quantity
of gas is suddenly generated, and,
seeking to expand in closed place. it
eXerts a force that rends the wall
asunder.
A method now proposed for mini
MIXING the effects of dust explosion
in mills, factories and elevators is to
make the walls very thin-mere cur
tains. in fact: dependence being had
upon the skeletal structure Of the
building for its support. If the walls
readily yield TO gas expansion. offer
ing little resistance, the explosion
does relatively little harm. 1t is the
confinement of the gas that makes
the mischief. Large window area is
another idea suggested, with the
same object in view.
Metals, if finely powdered, will
burn rapidly. In one recent explosion
of aluminium dust six girls lost their
lives and many more were injured.
An explosion Of hard rubber dust, not
long ago, resulted in the death Of six
workmen. Within the last few years
there have been many such disasters
in sugar mills, candy factories. spice
mills, cork factories, drug works. pa
per mills etc. Any kind of dust that
il combustible will explode If dis
tributed plentifully through the air
OF a closed place and ignited.
During the last two and half years
dust explosions in the United States
and Canada have cost the lives Of
nearly 100 persons. and have de-
stroyed more than S110000,000 worth
Of property. One such catastrophe in
a starch factory killed 43 persons and
did s3.000.000 worth of DANA ge.-

Why Napoleon Feared the Letter IN"

Napoleon had peculiar dread of
certain days and certain numbers.
Indeed, he dislikod some letters.
For instance, he regarded the letter
"M' as boding ill-luck.
We can conjecture reason,
though hardly a rational one. for
some of these dislilles, when we
study Napolcon's career. Moroau
betrayed him; Mallct conspired
against him; Murat and Marmont
deserted him; Metternich beat him
in the diplomatic game; he surren-
dercd himself to Captain MalIand
of the Bcllerophon: he received his
worst defeat near Mont Saint Jean
at Waterloo. The tide of his mill
tary success turned at Moscow, To
be sure, we could quote other names
beginning with NJ that were assoc
ciatcd with happy events and good
fortune in his life. But such likes
and dislkcs cannot lie explained on
rational grounds.-The Living Age.

Early Census Records

there were censuses taken in the COL
onies at an earlier time. 1t has been
set down that the first census in Eng

was made in 1901. but it is matter
of record that census OF all Eng
land was taken in the year $50, or
very close to that year. This CEN

Strange Facts About Depths Of Sea

OF what does the sea consist? The
obvious answer, of course, is water,
but the ocean contains many other
things.
No fewer than 80 different chemi-
calls have been discovered in sea-
water, and probably there are many
more of which we know nothing.
Salt, magnesium, calcium sulphate.
and gold are among those which have
tcen found. The gold exists only in
very small quantities, and although a
number of attempts have been made
to extract it, it has cost as much as
500 to obtain single pounds worth
of the precious metal.
The amount of solid matter in the
sea varies considerably, for white in
the Atlantic there are, on an avera &c.
about eight and half parts of solids
in every hundred parts of water. in
the Baltic Sea there is only half a
part Of solids in every hundred Of

Why Man Raises Hat Requires Long
Answer

Nothing seems a more common
place detail of every day life than the
raising of the hat by male wearer
when he meets a girl or woman. But
after all, why? The explanation car
ries us far back into bygone ages.
Removing the hat has always, in
our part of the world. been a token
of respect on the part of men. In
the old days, the serf would snatch
off his hat on the approach Of his
mast9r. And, later on, the armed
knight removed his helmet while with
his friends in token of trust, and as
sign that defence was no longer
needed.
From these two customs grew up
the modern habit of raising ones hat,
implying at once friendship, trust or
servitude.
On the Continent, the hat is raised
not only to women. but to men as
we'll.
