INFLAMMABLE AIR. 69 Product Dr. Hales Distilled From Coal In 1726. In the early days of the last century ir Walter Scott, writing from London b a friend in Edinburgh, said, "There as a fool here who is trying to light the slty with smoke." Sir Walter's "smoke" was not a human invention. Accumu lations of gas from coal beds found their way to the surface and, being highly inflammable. attr.eted the at tention of men who erected altars over them, and their perpetua4 fires were dedicated to the gods. For thousands of years the Chinese have speculated upon the meaning of the natural gas which has escaped abundantly from the earth in several provinces. In 1728 Dr. Hales Informed chemists that by distilling a few grains of coal he had obtained an equal number of cubic Inches of "inflammable air" and that if attempted on a large scale millions upon millions of cubic feet of that val uable substance could be made and conveyed unseen along the highways of the land and become the means for obtaining perpetual day. In 1S13 Sir Walter's "smoke" was burned on Westminster bridge in London, and one year later the streets of St. Marga rets, Westminster, enjoyed illumina tion from gas, It being the first parish contracting for such a luxury. VIOLIN MOODS. Little Things That Make an Instru ment Lose Its Tone. Some obscure but definite change takes place in the material of the body of a violin through the vibrations of the music produced, and it is very pos sible that some stages of this change are detrimental to the tone. The style of playing is said to influence the change, and rest checks It. The maturing of a violin has been compared with the growth of a child who progressively Increases in wisdom and stature, but has stages of weak ness due to the irregular development of parts. The tone of an Instrument Is also gravely influenced by the setting up of the movable parts, the sound post, the strings, the bridge and even the pegs. Many Instruments lose much of their power or sweetness if the sound post Is altered a fractional amount from its best position and angle, if the bridge is Inclined a little more or less or shifted or if the strings are not exactly suited to the violin. Some instruments prefer one pitch and others another, and all vary with the weather. In addition to this the best players have moods when they cannot play, and the instruient Is often blamed for these. CROSSING THE BAR. Almost AlU Deaths Are Practieally Without Physical Pain. Death nearly always ensues from cessation of the heart's action, what ever it may be that causes it to stop. Almost the only exception to this rule hs In the case of poisoning with prussic acid, where the whole body becomes dead before the heart ceases to beat. It is scientifically certain that al most all deaths, even those that are seemingly most agonising, are practi cally without pain. The fear of ex tinction may cause mental agitation amounting to pain while consciouisness rexists, but that is quite another thing. In death by burning pain ceases at an early stage by suffocation, while a man killed by q gunshot wound prob ably does not know that he has been hit, the action of the bullet' being more rapid than the message to the brair announcing It. For this reason wound ed. men somet:imes drop without know. lng why. In chest diseases pain is relieved by suffocation at the death moment, and In fevers the nervous system becomes deptessed to such utter apathy as to Induce quite a. painless end. B. Could Write. Edmond Rostand, the great French writer, was on one occasion the hero of an amusing episode. During a visit to a friend In the country M. Rostand was requested to accompany him to the mairie in order to register the Mrend's newborn infant. The adjunct of the mairie, a conscientious little man, booked the infant and the'n turn ed to M. Rostand as the first witness. "Your name, sir?" "Edmond Rostand." "Your vocation?" "Man of letters and member of the French academy." "Very well," replied the official. "You have to sign your name. Can you write? If not you may make a cross." It Came Pretty Slow. A young man once took a sack of corn to an old fashioned mill to have It ground into meal. The mill was fear fully slow, only a tiny stream of meal trickling out At last the young man became Impatient and complained to the miller. "Do you know," he said, "I could.eat that meal faster than your old mill can grind it." "Yes," replied the miller, "but how long could you keep on eating It?' "Until I starved," was the conclusive answer of the young man. Curious. "There's one curious thing about dis covering places," said Johnny. "Take Bermuda, for instance. It was dis covered by a man named Bermudez. How he happened to stumble on a place with a name just like his beats me." The Realisation. "Hear you've been speculating, old man. What did you realize?", "I realized that I was a blamed fool,' replied'the other man sorely.--Cincin nati Tribune. A woman will protest that she cv.n't stay whiie she is taking off her hat.

A white visitor t.> F-:. in Morocco. once went shei>y:: is tii ba:=r'o the city accompanied by a scrv:. of the su;tan. who told 1:im to sc to it that tLe shopper was iiot chs.itd by the greedy merchants. At the first shop visited the would be customer asked to be shown sometu:ng that rested on a high shelf. The laity mer chant only yawned and said he would rather sell something from the flour. which he would not have to rise to get. This angered the sultan's serva . who not only made the merchant hand down the article required, but when the price was named laid down half the amount, grabbed the goods and made off. The shopper protested, but the serv ant laughed and said it was the custom of the country. This was repeated at several shops without eliciting a pro test. At one place, though, the mer chant refused to give up his goods in that way and was rewarded by a boxed ear and an admonition not to ill treat the sultan's white friend. Later the two visited the markets, where ever;thing was sold at auction. The auctioaeer seemed always to wear fewer clothes than any one else. Hiss method of selling was curious. He* would take a piece of goods from a nearby shopkeeper and start out to sell it on commission. Holding it as high as possible, he would call for a bid. Then he would start on the run around the market. If any one wished to examine the merchandise the auc tioneer would drop it into his hands, take the bid if one was made and then resume his "un around the place. When he had made three circuits of the market he would turn the article over to the highest bidder.-New York Press. THE TWO HEADED SNAKE. A Boa Conatrictor That Has a Very Deceptive Tail. Every now and then some traveler tells of a two headed snake which ex ists in Egypt, and whenever the nar rator hasn't seen the snake himself, he is more or less isposed to assert that there really is .s snake with two heads in Egypt, because he has been told about it by many reliabie persons. Indeed, sometimes a travever who has actually caught a glimpse of the snake is like'y to declare that it truly is two headed, for the serpent certainly appears to be so when seen only by chance. It is only when the snake is actually taken up and examined closely that the truth is revealed. The two headed snake is not a.poison ous serpent It is only a boa con strictor, and it is fairly cormon. But it is so secretive that it bides away in its sandy burrows almost constantly. It is strangely formed in so far that its tail, Insteid of tapering off to a point as the tails of other snakes do, widens out into a blucgeon shape, thus making it look so utt erly utilike a tail that it Is almost im-possible to think It is anything but a head when the snake Is seen for only a moment. To add to the d.eception, jugglers catch these boas anad paint jaws and eyes on the tail. The 'work Is so care fully done that-only a trained observer can distinguish the real head from the false. Thus the story of the two head ed snake has obtained wide circula tion, and has eve-a crept into the books of otherwise accurate writers. But the second "head" Is only a tail after all.-Excbange. Room For' Impremement. At a dinner given by Sir Joshua Reynolds, at which were present Gar rick, Johnson, Fox a:nd others, Dr. Bernard, the dean of Derry, had as serted that after the age of forty-five a man does not Impr ove. "I differ with you, sir," said Joh nson. "A man may Improve, and you yourself have great room for imprc.vement." The dean was confounded and fer the in stant silent. Recover!'ng himself, he remarked, "On reflectio n I see no cause to alter my opinion, u nuless I were to call It Improvement for . a man to grow -which, I allow, bc. may-poitive, rude and insolent and save arguments by brutality."

An Incident That Showed How Well Choate Knew De Quincey. It is the fashion to laugh gently at any claim of a special sease for style a in writ!ng. Most people really believe , that 3:-. Brown and Mr. Johnson will order a car load of potatoes in substan- eu tially the same words and that Lord eo Bacon and Master Shakespeare wrote enough alike to deceive their dearest de friends. But occasionally one comes upon an illustration that goes to prove t style in writing is as distinctive to the trained eye as color is. ' Many years ago James T. Fields was et making a collection of the writings of ul De Quincey. The essays were widely w scattered in various periodicals and were often hard to identify. Mr. Fields knew Rufus Choate as a devot- th ed student of Ve Quincey and wrote i him one day asking his opinion as to t a certain article. Was It by De Quin- in cey or not? Mr. Choate replied that It certainly was. There could be no mistaking the e style of the piece. A few weeks later b Mr. Choate received, through Mr. o Fields. a letter from De Quincey deny- pl ing absolutely and somewhat indig- i nantly the authorship of the article. d But Choate was not of the stuff to b yield his opinion for a trifle like that. t He wrote to Mr. Fields: p "I still believe that De Quincey wrote t the essay. De Quincey to the contrary r notwithstanding." C Doubtless Mr. Fields read the note a with a smiling comment, "That's just like Choate's confidence in his own b judgment!" ti Months elapsed. One day there came a a letter from De Quincey containing a to humble apology for his previous blun der. By chance he had found in his i desk the manuscript of the very arti cle in question. Written as it had been tr yors before, it had passed entirely is from Lis mind, "and you may tell your a young Boston lawyer," he concluded, f, "that he knows my style better than e I know it myself !"-Youth's Compan- tl on. ti TO RETAIN YOUTH. h Simply refuse to grow old by not d counting your years or anticipating'old age. b Refrain from all kinds of stimulants q and sedatives.

The former city still s shrouds Itself in a veil of mystery. t Burckhardt, and later Sir Richard Bur- C ton, carrying their lives in their hands, 1 lived in this city, the latter mingling i unobserved with Its Inhabitants and I takng part in religious rites with Its 1 pilgrims. Both Mecca and Lassa have c many points of interest in common. I Each respecftvely Is a point of pil- I grimage for converts to the two great religions of the east-Mohammedanism and Buddhism, the one as the birth place of Mohammed receiving 100,000 t pilgrims annually. Both contain won- j derful temples, and both, behind their a closed gates, have also been centers of C Indescribable filth, squalor and vIce. 1 That "English Accent." There was unconscious satire, writes i Sir Archibald Gelkie in his "Reminis cences" in the answer given by a housemaid to her mistress, who was puzzled to conjecture how far the girl could be intelligible in London, whence she had returned 'to Scotland. "You I speak such broad Scts, Kate, that I i wonder how they could understand you in London." "Oh, but, main, I aye spek English there." "Did you? And how did you manage that?" "Oh, main, there's naethin' easier. Ye maun spit oot a' the r's and gie th' words a bit chow in the middle." The PolUte Porter. There is a large town on the North ern Counties railway which, it Is said, boasts itself as possessing the most po lite porters on the system. Everything is relative. Recently a lady having se cured a porter at this station told him 'after her small luggage bad been re moved from the carriage to get the rest of It from the van. He returned presently empty handed, ,with the observation: "Beg pardon, mna'am, but ye're a liar. There's nane Io't in the van."

Eve:' one has herrd of the air brak< id references t:> it are sure to i; ade when the subject of proiectia r inst railroad accidents is under di. ssion, but like many inventions i mmon use it is more or less of ystery, for which an explanation i manded from time to time. The modern air brake corsists c relve parts, among which are the a. imp, which compresses the air.; ain reservoir, ia which the air i ored; the engineer's brake valve, re:. atiung the flow oi air; the train pip( hich connects tLe brake v,lve wit .e triple valves -inder each ear; th iick action triple valve, co::':ollin te flow of air to and from the aux ry reservoir, wh:ch is supplied froi ,e main reservoir, and the bra:e cy der piston rod, which, is forced ou' ard, thereby applying the brakes. The theory of tLie air brake Is th lualization of pressures. When th -akes are not in action the pressur i the train pipe is made such as t -event an escape >f air from the au: ary reservoir. When the engine( sires to make an application- c -akes he turns his brake valve so the tere is a modera:e reduction of tli essure in the traia pipe. , This causc e greater pressure in the auxiliar servoir to force air into the brals 'linder, forcing the piston out an plying the brakes. When It Is desired to release tl: rakes the engineer turns his valve i te opposite direction, permitting ti [r to flow from the main reservoi cated on the engine, into the trai Ipe. When the pressure thus restorE the train pipe is increased above ti ressure in the auxiliary reservoir ce uin valves are moved, communicatic thereby restored between train plj ad auxiliary reservoir, the piston )rced to its normal position, the a icapes from the brake cylinder, at ie auxiliary reservoir is recharg( irough the train pipe. When the train breaks in two or ose pipe connection is broken it h, ie effect of a sudden and material r uction of the pressure in the tra ipe, the same as though the engine ad made an emergency applicatio he sudden reduction of pressure al pens supplementary valves, which i rease the pressure upon the bral linder about 20 per cent.
