g e e e eTE e ' SENT DIRECT FROM JUPITER Ancient Peoples Had ‘Odd Belief Con‘cerning Otherwise Unaccount- ; able Shower of Frogs. Showers of frogs must have been common enough in ancient Greece, seeing that Aristotle gives them a particular name. {Alluding to the prevailing idea of his time, which supposed them to come from Heaven, he called them messengers of Jupiter. Two carefully observed instances in modern times have especially wrought conviction among the learned. ' The first -was attested by a whole company of soldiers, who during the French Revolution, were on a march towards the north of France. In the open country they were assailed by a shower of little toads which were dashed in their faces, falling with torrents of water, Astonished at such an unwonted attack, and desirous of satisfying themselves as to whether this living shower came from above, the soldiers spread out their handkerchiefs on a level with their heads, and found they were ‘soon covered. After the storm, the astonishment was general when the soldiers saw this unexpected: broodJeaping about in the folds of their cocked hats.. .. . The second well-attested shower of toads fell in 1834, in the town of Ham, in° Germany, when the streets, roofs and gutters were immediately filled with a great number of these young creatures.

HAD HIGHEST SOCIAL IDEAS

Marriage Relations Among Early Assyrians Subjected to the Strictest : Code of Human Laws. ’

- Marriage relattons among the early Assyrians were Subject to a strict code of laws, it is now learned from a valuable. cultural document made accessible to the scientific world in a German translation of the cuneiform text preserved in the Asiatic division of the Berlin Ethnographical museum. - The early Assyrian lawmakers had this code inscribed on a set of clay tablets, unearthed during the excavations of the German Asiatic society in Mesopotamia. By comparing this find with other prehistoric documents, the date of these tablets has been established around 1100 B. C., which would coincide with the reign of Tiglat-Pile-sar L < o : B

The rights and. dutiés of married women and the punishments imposed for the infringements of these laws, and as the marital relations of a nation have always been regarded as a reliable barometer of its culture, this discovery throws an interesting Mght upon early Assyrian social conditions.

Fuses Prevent Fires. . = - When an electric current flows through a wire it makes #e wire warm, explains Popular Science. Different materials resist the flow to different- extents “and are accordingly heated to different fleér_ees. Fuse wire is made of an alloy contagining a large proportion of lead, .which gets very warm when Targe currents' . pass through it. Furthermore, since ‘this alloy melts easily, the current; if large enough, may cause the fuse wire to melt. / : '

Wherever current is being consumed in the house or factory, a piece of fuse ‘wire is put somewhere in the circuit. If through accident or design too much current should be used, the fuse wire will melt, or, as is usually described, “blow,” and stop the flow of current before the copper wire’inside the walls can heat up and set fire to the house.

The Telescope.

Tradition has it that about the beginning of the Seventeenth century one Jansen, a spéctacle maker of Middleburg, Holland, constructed a telescope about 16 inches in length, which he exhibited to Prince Maurice and the Archduke Albert; who, appreciating the importance of the discovery, paid him a sum of money to keep it concealed. Another: spectacle maker, Lippershey made application in 1608 to the states general for a patent for a telescope, as also did Metius, a professor of mathematics, but in the former instance, at least, it was refused, as the apparatus was already known. It seems certain that the instrument was known more or less about Europe, but the honor of its invention usually is given to Galileo, who was the first to describe the instrument and exhibit' it in complete form 4n May, 1609. R ;

Instintt of Prairie Dogs.

Prairie /dogs seem to have some kind of foreknowledge of the weather, if observers at the New York Zoologicel park are right. Now and then the large members of the coloay loosen the earth round their mounas with their, forefeet, then shovel the soil-up-ward with their hind feet. -Other members. work, inside the burrow, throwing out earth to aid in the building. When a dyke has been built, the animals tamp the earth down 'with their heads—an amusing sight. As thése operations invariably take place before a storm, the obvious purpose is to build a dam that will keep the water from running into the burrow.

~ _No Standard of Weight. The bureau -of railway economics says thére is no standard for 'the ‘weight of a railroad rail. This depends entirely on the traffic the particular rond is handling. Usually rails are .not measured by the foot, but by the yara. Formerly railroads used the 80-pound rail per yard, but now most roads use’the 100-pound rail. The Virginian railroad is using a 120-pound rail, as’ it handles very heavy traffic; T L / Why would you buy a battery guaranteed one year when you . can buy a Cooper guaranteed two years for .the same money.

ARCIEHTS HAD WATER GUAGES

Egyptian River Surveyors Enabled to Foretell Hour of Inundation of " -the River Nile. .

~ Nilometers were among the most ancient water gauges, and were used by thé Egyptians many centuries B. C. Stone wells: ware constructed on the banks of thé Nile, and water entered these through underground . ditches. This water rose a.niii"fell\- in sympathy with the river, enabling river surveyors (government officers) to. foretell the hour of inundation. , Marked columns:on thé sides of each well indicated the maximum, minimum and middle gauge: the inspectors patrolled the banks of the Nile and informed the people by means of bulletins in advance how high the Nile would rise and when the stream would probably overflow its banks. ‘Lake Moeris, in Lower Egypt, was connected with the Nile in aneient days by one of the many ecanals for which the ancient Babylonian and Egyptian engineers are now famous. This canal was equipped with sluices and gauges. so that the land around it was never flooded. If the Nile rose, all that happened was that the blue crystal mirror of the lake rose too. If the waters of the river fell, then the lake filled them up by careful manipulation of its sluices and its own waters. - | .

ALL COMPETITION WAS A JOKE

Judge Had Another Think Coming if - He Thought He Could Do Away With Chimney Sweeper.

A well-known judge in Ireland was very fond 'of relating the following story- to his friends: It was st the time of a general election and one day when he was leaving the law courts, Dublin, a sweep accosted him and addressed him with familiarity. “Be off, ye dirty scoundrel,” said ‘the judge. “I don’t ‘know you.” “Sure, that ye do, yer ‘oner,” replied the sweep. “I've never set eyes on you before,” answered his lordship. “Yis, ye have, yer ‘oner. Oi swept yer ’oner’s chimneys.” “Oh, it was you, was it? I'll never employ you again,” replied :the judge. “You did the work badly and they've smoked ever since. I'll never have you again.” *“Oh, yes ye will, yer ’oner,” replied the man. “And I tell you I won’t,” angrily answered his lordship. The sweep persisted that he would be employed again, so the judge asked why, saying there were plenty of other sweeps in Ireland. *“Sure, yer ‘oner, all the other sweeps have be‘come mimbers of parliament,”-was the reply—Chicago American.

Bath a Japanese Institution.

From the very earliest days baths and bathing have begn known In Japan. And at a time in European history when the Valois kings of France were requesting “their courtiers to use perfumes to couhteract the lack of bathing, the Japanese, high and low, were reveling in hot steam and warm baths, which are still to be found in every corner of the country. In one of the earliest books, called the “Wakun Shiori,” the Detroit News observes, it is stated that the “Yuva” —the “hot water house”—is a sacred house, in the book called the “Teijozaki” the phrase O yu dono” is used. This also .has a doudle meaning, “Drinking water,” or “place for making hot water,” and from this latter meaning there comes the use of it to denote “bathing place.” But the word “0O yu deno” was really used by mistake to denote the place near the kitchen where hot water was prepared. All these books were written before 1200 A. D. e

Ihfamous Tree Grows on Island.

For one of its features Christmas island, in the Indian ocean, may be said to be infamous rather than famous. A bulletin of the National Geographic society tells of a tree, believed not to exist elsewhere, which is described by one disgusted visitor to the island as emitting “the most disagreeable odor in the world.” With a trunk as sturdy as am oak, and leaves as graceful as those of an aspen, it gives to the- eye no indication of “its true character. But its scent permeates the air for ‘hundreds of feet In every direction, and if /one is unfortunate enough to so much as touch its bark or leaves, nothing short of repeated scrubbing with strong carbolic ‘soap will make him again fit for human soplty. . . L g S The islanid s a British possession, having been annexed in 1888 after the discovery of rich fertilizer deposits.

'EMOTIONS VERY MUGH /al.

Both Laughter and Weeping Sudden .~ Motions With Which Custom lls ' Bound to Do Away.

Sudden glory is the passion which maketh those grimaces called laughter; and is caused either by some sudden act of their own that. pleaseth them, or by the apprehension of some _deformed thing in another by comparison. whereof they suddenly applaud ‘themselves. And it is incident moust to them that are conscious of the fewest abilitles in themselves; who are forced to keep themselves in -their own favor by observing the imperfections of other men. And therefore ‘much laughter at the defects of others is a . sign of pusillinimity. For of great minds one of the proper works is to help and free others from scorn and compare themselves only with the most able.. -~ ' :

" On the contrary, sudden dejection fs the passion that causeth weeping. and is caused by such accidents as suddenly take away some vehement hope or some prop of their power; and they are most subject to it that rely principally on helps external, such as are women and children. Therefore some weep for the loss of friends, others for their unkindness, others for the sudden stop made to their thoughts of revenge by reconciliation. But in all cases; both laughter and weeping are sudden motions, custom taking them both away. For no man laughs at old: jests or weeps for an old calamity.—~Hoboes’ “Leviathan.” ! : i

“NATIONAL” STONE OF SCOTS Cairngorm the One Emblem to Which -~ Substantial Claim Can Be Made ' St by Highlanders. - L “So far as I know,” sald ‘the customs and fashions fan, the New York Sun notes, “only one stone can lay any substantial claim to being: a ' national emblem. .The stone is the cairngorm and the place it holds .is unique, It has no great beauty, being a yellowish or brownish or smoky sort of quartz found in any quantity in the Scottish hills. It' is mined chiefly. southwest of Banff. e _

- “So frequently has it been set in the big brooches that hold the folds of the kiltie costume at the shoulder and in the haft of the highland dirk that it has sentimental value greater to the average Scot than that attached to any other stone.: CEE " “It happens that this homely stone, mined in Brazil and Siberia,-and also in Colorado and North Carolina, is also called the Spanish, topaz. or the false topaz, but to a Scot it is never anything but the cairngorm, and sg}mu_ch sentiment is attached to it that he regards it almost as a charm.” ';

i .Power of Progress, ° ; " Electricity represents the power of progress. ¢ - 0 oo o

In the early days of America Industry, mills were built on the banks of streams that water power could be utilized. Next come-the age of steam and factories were bulilt near the railroads, that coal could be .delivered to the plant. Then came the present age of electricity and the greatest industrial development the world has ever known. i

Today electricity brings the enormous resources of the country’s coal mines and water power to the industrial plants of the nation. By the throwing of a switch, industry is assured ,instant and constant power whenever meeded, even though the plant supplying the electrical power may be hundreds of miles away from tt;l consumer, Co-ordinated research, engineering, manufacturing and commercial efforts have made possible this quick dellvery of power at a cost which permits rapid and efficient development of industry.

Differing Tea Tastes.

. 'Russians drink tea, not with the\a\addition of milk as we do, but with lemon julce squeezed in, while in Germany tea 18 often flavored with_%amon and rmm. : 1 : ~ Perhaps the quaintest form of “teadrinking” is that practiced by the savage tribes in Tartary, Central Asia. The leaves are first bojled in soda, then seasoned with butter and salt, and then eaten, n ’ o

Many people think that tea taken late at night produces sleeplessness. It does, but if a islice of lemon Is added ‘instead of milk, it will induce sleep. In cases of fever, tea taken with lemon and a little sugar, and, of course, no milk, is very refreshing. , A very common error is the belief that by adding a pinch of "cakmnate of soda, a stronger taste can be obtained. This is not so, carbonate of soda being only useful when the! water is hard. A pinch of salt is invaluable for giving flavor at all times. =~

Use River as Washtub, .

The River Seine is the great washtub of Paris. Here, as' in Normandy, and Brittany and other places, the women wash in the river. Hundreds of white wash barges, or “lavoirs,” are anchored along its banks. These boats are sunk just deep enough to bring the water to a conmvenlent height. There is a. row of wash stalls on each side.’ A “stall” in one of these barges is rented for two sous a washing. Here thousands of women may be seen washing busily. No hot water is used, often no soap. The women lean over the edge of the boat, as though it were a tub, and beat the linen with wooden paddles. The noise of these beatin; paddles, a steady “tap-tapping,” car be heard a long distance. The clothe: are dried on the grass, or on lines along the banks of the river. = gt {: ; : Chasv e
