Such an Accident Is No More Likely to Happen to Them Than to Milk Bottle or SaIt Bags-Wnt Does Happen In Came of Fire. The proneness of the average news paper reporter to attribute cellar con liagrations to the explosion of gas me ters represents what appears to be an ineradicable race trait. No amount of contradiction and no accumulation of proof that such an accident is an im possibility seems to reach the news gatherers, who go on reporting the ex plosion of gas meters. doubtless be cause the firemen have a tradition that meters are oxplosire and give this ex. nlanation of every fire which they cani not otherwise account for. For the reassurance of nervous peo ple it gives us pleasure to say that no gas meter ever exploded since the world began. and until they are made on very different plans and contain gas of very different compcsition from that now used for illuminating pur poses such an accident is no tnore like ly to bappen to them than :o milk bot tles or salt bags. The dotnestie-gas iueter has a wore or less well deserved reputation for babitual mendacity. though as likely to lie agginst the gas com;>any as for it; but it has never (lone anything to warrant the suspicion that it is liable to go off with a bang. It is a tin box of a little less than one cubic foot capacity. put together -vith soldered seams and japanned. Into and through it passes the gas. which enters through the service pipe connecting the main with the house. usually of half atr Inch '1ameter. It has very !ittle capacity for gas storage. and Is not strong enough to carry gas under a greater compression than, say. half a pound per square inch. More than this would bulge its sides. In point of fact the pressure of gas iV meters is rarely more than enough to balance a column of water two or three Inches high. If a gas meter is exposed to great beat from external 6re. nothing very serious happens. The soldered seams will probably inelt. allowng the a to escape This gas Is not explosive. however. It becomes so only when mixed with air in certain detinite pro portions. Should this qdmixture exist In a meter, which is almost impossible. its shell Is not strong enough to offer any grefft resistance. and should an es plesion occur by reason of fire reach ing this admixture of gas and air the meter would be wrecked. but it is doubtful of any other damage would result. None uns been wrecked from this cause. If the seams of the meter are opened by the melting of the solder or by frac ture from accident, the gas within it would escape. and. if it had the chance. burn. Outside the meter it might have opportunity to form the explosive mix ture with air and do some damage. What actually hapuens In the case of fires attributed to the explosion of gas meters Is usually this: G;as which has leaked from defective pipes or worked Into the cellar from broken or defective street mains accvnmulates In pockets formed by rafters and else where and rei'aias there until it comes in contact with an- accidental fire of some sort. A fire starts In the cel lar and the temperature gradually rises until the smoldering rubbish bursts izn to flr~me. This reaches the mixture of gas and air along the ceiling and an esplosion follows. The meter. naturally enough. ts thrown down and probably torn from Its connections, and the conclusion is reached that, instead of being the vic tim of tbe accident, the ineffensive me er Is the cause of all the tronbtle arnd has Indulged its inherent propensity to set the house afire after lftin'g It from its foundations it Is a perfectly safe generalizatIon that the 'as which makes trouble in cellars is wholly outside the meter aet never inside of it. G;rindstoines someu times esplode wvith fatal restilts in asw factories. but the excellent old ladr who, after reading of such an necidett and reeilling that there wais -in eild grindstone in onw correr of the cellar which had teen the"re twenty. years. hired a couple ot tramps to enrry It to the estreme corner or the garden ::nd pour w'ater on it for an hour. mean wle givIng thanks that It nad not blown herseif and family loto eternity "unbeknownst to any of us." was of the type of those who, through fear of gas meter esplosions, are ail their life time subject to nervous chills. There Is not a gas meter in use under which It would not be perfectly safe 'to build a bonfire, provided. of course. there was not a quantity of gas out side of It which the same tire could reac.-New York Times. Why Snow 1. INot Black or ied. Why Is the snow wvhIt.e? Is a ques tlon frequently asked. Because black snow would be dangerous; so. would red or yellow. Thege are "warming up colors." and they change tile sun's rays to heat. Such snow would soon melt again and prove a very poor pr~o tection. But white snow throws bacik the sunlight In just the form in which It receives It-, and thus the snow can De long on the ground.

Schmucker In Ladies' orno . ourDl ______.____ .A Glimpue of Tennyson. Apprehension of being mobbed by the "profane vulgar" amounted. as is well known, almost to monomania with the poet Tennyson. .Many good stories are told in illustration of this wveakness of hs. One of the best of them wvill per aps bear repetition. Lord Tennyson was taking a country walk with a friend, when a fellow: creature was espied in the distance "We must turn back," said the poet. "That fellow means to waylay us." His companion persuaded him, how ever, to continue on their path. They -caught up to the enemy and passed him. lie took no notice of them what-' ever "What an estraordinary thing!" cried the irate poet. "TIhe fellow seems' to have no idea who I am!" . AJapanese on Japanese Women. Among the Japanese women a cer *taii number have no reason to envy the European ladies in the matter of, purely white skins. When that white-. ness is slightly rose colored, it is in Japanese eyes the nie plus ultra of beauty. Unfortunateiy, that beauty soon fades. The proportion of white skinned women is about one in ten. It is needless to say that this whiteness is held in high esteem. As the proverb as it. "A white skin covers seven mIs fortunes." a rather doubtful Japanese way of appreciating Its loveliness THE MAJOR'S VENGEANCE. McKinley and the Reporter Who Persistently Assailed Him. During one of his congressional cam paigns Major McKinley was followed from place to place by a reporter for a paper of opposite political faith, who is described as being one of those "shrewd, persistent fellows who are al ways ai: work, quick to see an oppor tunity ,nd skilled in making the most of it." While Mr. McKinley, was an noyed by the misrepresentation to which lie was almost daily subjected, he could not help admiring the skill and persistency with which he was assail ed. His admiration, too, was not un mixed with compassion, for the re porter was ill, poorly clad and had an annoying cough. One night Mr. Mc Kinley took a closed carriage for a near by town at which he was announced to speak. The weather was wretchedly raw and cold. and what followed fs thus described: He bad not gone far when he heard that cough and knew that the reporter was riding with the driver on the ex posed seat. The major called to the driver to stop and alighted. "Get down off that seat, y'oung man." be said. The reporter obeyed, thinking the time for the major's veigeance had come. "Here." said Mr. McKinley, taking off his overcoat. "you put on this overcoat and get into that carriage." "But. Major McKinley," said the re porter, "I guess you don't know who I am. I beve been with you the whole campaign, giving it to you- every time 1 you spoke, and I am going over tonight to rip you to pieces if I can." "I know." said 'Mr. McKinley, "but vou put on this coat and get inside and get warm so that you can do a good job."-Chautauquan. An Ugly Tie. Duprez, the great but ill favored French tenor, was once walking from the Grand Opera House in Paris with the baritone Baroilbet, who was not an Apollo either. They happened to meet Perrot, the dancer, a man of very great ability, but short and thin and so ugly that a manager once said he could nev er engage Perrot unless for the .ardin des Plantes (zoological gardens). as he engaged no monkeys. Perrot told them the story, and. when Duprez laughed at him, Perrot said: "Why, surely you need not laugh. If I am ugly, I am certainly not so ugly as either of you." "You monkey," said Duprez. -this dif ference shall soon be settled." And. see Ing a stranger pass who appeared to be a gentleman, "Monsieur." said he, "will you be so good as to arbitrate in a little difference of opinion between us?" "With pleasure." said the stranger. "If I can." "Well," said Duprez. -just look at us and say whom you consider to be the ugliest of the th-ee." The gentleman looked for some time from one to the other and .then said: "Gentlemen. 1: give it up. I cannot pos sibly decide,"' and went away roaring with laughter. Value of Fresh Air. Sleeping In the open air has passed te life limit: of a fad ard assumed the proportions of a habit. it Is. more over, a growing habit, tihe motto of. which is "with nothing between you and the sky." Only in summer is it possible to push this habit to the ex reme, of course, and even then so meager are th3e sky accommodations of the average home relatively few can enjoy the luxury indicated in the motto.

Rules Preseribing the Dress of Har vard Students In Bygone Days. The curious laws regarding students' dress wtLeh prevailed at flarvard up to the middle of the last century are illus trated by twoweigliteenth century waist coats which are among the collections of the Boston Art musequE' One -wAs worn by a member of the ttass of 1749( and the other by his son in 1784. The latter waistcoat is olive green In color, conforming to the collegeregula tions. which required either blue-gray, plain black. "nankeen"-a kind of buff -or olive. Thecoat and breeches which 1 originally went with it. as one -may read in the old time Harvard "Laws." were blue gray. Freshmen of that date were allowed only plain buttonholes, sophomores leaped to the diirnity of 'having buttons on their cuffs. juniors might have inexpensive frogs to theIr t buttonholes except that they might not have them on their cuff buttonholes. and the senior enjoyed frogs. button holes and buttons complete. Seniors and Juniors were permitted also to L wear black Oxford gowns, such as are I worn at graduation today. and a "night a gown," or dressing gown, was per missible on certain unimportant occa sions. It cost "not more than 10 shil lings" for every appearance of gold or silver adornment. The rules of costume were changed. of course, from time to time. In 1828. for example, the prescribed dress con sisted of a black mixed coat. single i breasted. "with a rolling cape square at the end and with pocket flaps. the I waist reaching to the natural waist. with lapels of the same length." It is explained that -black mixed." called also Oxford mix-d. was blnck with not more than one-twentieth nor less than one-twenty-fifth part of white. The senior was allowel to support his dig nity with three-erow's feet" of black silk cord on the lower part of his coat sleeve. Two crow's feet were permitted to the junior, one to the sophomore and none at all to the freshman. The waist coat was of black mixed og of black or, when of cotton or linen fabric, of white: single breasted. with a standing collar. The pantaloons-.were of black mixed APHORISMS.

You oft'en hear of rendering a rattle snake harmless by pullIng out its fangs. Then, again, you read of cases where a serpent so treated has bitten persons fatally. Thme reason for this Is that a noisonous snake is deprived only temporarily of its venomous powers by the exsraction of the two Incisors in the uoner jaw, at the bases of which are the poison glands. Of course you know that the fangs are hollow, so that when the animal strikes the vent om goshes through themi into the flesh of the person struck. Now, by draw ing the two teeth the snake may be rendered harmless for a few weeks, but after a short time the two teeth just behind the original fangs move up and take their places, making connec tion with the poison glands 'and thpsg becoming poison fangs as good and ef fective as the old ones Horses and Cold.
