LIGHT WITHOUT HEA
The Puzzle of the Tiny Firef
and the Mighty Comet.
I EACH HOLDS THE SECRE
It Is a Mystery to Science, and the M:
Who Is Able to Penetrate That My:
tery Will Be In a Position to Revy
lutionize This Planet of Our:.
This is not an Aesop fable. althoul
It has a moral.
There are two things in whose pre
euce science stands wondering at
abmshed-the little glowworm (or 11
yet tinier firety) and the mighty coml,
arching the sky with its glimmerir
train. Each of thern holds the sac
secret-how to make ight withol
heat. The man who gets that secr
r-ll revolutionize the planet.
The late president of the Royal A
tronomical Society of Great Brita:
referred to the value of tlU comet
secre-t in his retiring add_""_. r
thought that we do not sutlicit.tly a
preciate the wondrous spectacle of
comet's tail. It shows us hurdreds <
billions of cubic miles of spnce simt
taneously glowing with luminosil
whose origin is a mystery.
It Is a gigantic experiment in
branch of physics of which we as y<
know very little. The comet Is it
mersed In what we may well reg:
as a vacuum: at least ;t is a far moi
perfect vacnum than we can produc
Yet the persistent glow of the comet
tail shows that there is no real vacun
there, but a vast quantity of extrem
.y attenuated matter which no don1
is the cause of the luminosity.
We ought. Professor Newall think
to awake to the importance of th
hint. -Who knows," he says. -whet:
er. If we could discover a method <
disrupting gases and vapors In ult
vacuous spaces artificially maintaini
on earth, we should not have a met
od of artificial illumination as econor
ical as that of the glowworm and :
briniant as Is needed for our nocturn
life?"
This thing may really be within ot
reach. although at the present tin
we cannot even suggest to ourselvy
exactly how It is to be attained. B1
the tandency of recent Investigation
in that direction. As Sir John He
schel said of another discovery whic
was just at the door. "We can feel
trembling along the farreaching liI
of our analysis."
There are not a few men, who a]
regarded by their harder headed sclej
tife brethren as "dreamers," who p
ture to themselves a fast coming tin
when we shal not only obtain light :
as cheap a rate as the firefly has I
but when we shall have tapped the e:
haustless stores of energy that slet
all around us in nature.
We are like one in a dream su
pended in the midst of a vast worl
shop crowded with multitudinous-m:
chines. all .whirling and fluttering 1
a storm of energies, but which he cs
neither control nor understand.
we could see these thin-s they mig]
terr'' us. as the dreamer Is terrine
by tne -vhlrring belts and spinnis
wheels of his vision, seeming to gras
at his life.
If the scientific investigator- nee

has onlfto-point to the fact that i
greatest practical discoveries of mot

to the-unitiated as so much magic.
Is a well known fact that the growlr
might of Germany springs from b
devotion to "pure research."

ANCIENT BELLS.
f They Were Often Quadrangular and
Made of Thin Iron Plates.
There are several old bells in Scot
land, Ireland and Wal's. The oldest are;
often quadrangular, being made of
thin Iron pl!ates which have been ham
mered and riveted together. At the
* monastery 4f St. Gall in Switzeriiand;
the four sided bell of the Irish missln
n ary St. GalI. who !i-:Ad1 in the seventh
century. is s'ill preservcL but more
ancient sti!l '. the. bell of St. [.itrick
in Belfast. which is ornjamented with
gold and gems and silver tiligree work.
; The curfew bell is that :;bout which
most, has been written and said. It
has been thought that Itwas only used
id in England. but it was quite common
e on 'lhe continent in the middle ages.
et The ringin; of bells by rope is still
t very i,opular in England. especially in
le the country. where almost every ham
:t let, however small. has its church with
e its peal of bells. which are often re
markably wel! rung. The first real
peal of bells In England was sent by
n Pope Calixtus Ill. to King's college,
s Cambridge. and was for 300 years the
elargemst pealI in E1ngland. .Ahout the
beginning of the year 1500 setsi of eight
a bells were hung in a few of the large
churches.
In the middle of the seventeenth cen
tury a man named White wrote a fa
mous work on bells in which he Intro
a duced the system of numbering them
at 1.2 3. 4. etc. on slips of paper in dif
- ferent orders. according to the changes
intended to be rung. It is calculated
e that to ring all the changes upon twen
ty-four bells at two strokes a second
s would take 117 billion years.
m One of the most famous bells in the
world is the first great bell of Moscow.
which now stands In the middle of a
square in that city and Is used as a
ehapel. This bell was cast in 1733, but
was in the earth for over a hundred
years. being raised In 1S3G by the Em
!a peror Nicholas. It Is nearly twenty
feet high. has a -circumference of sixty
feet, Is two feet thick and weighs al
most 200 tons. The second Moscow
bell, which'Is the largest bell in the
world that Is actually In use, weighs
12S tons. There are several bells ex
t tant which weigh ten tons and over, of
which Big Ben. the largest bell in Eng
land, weighing between thirteen and
fotfrteen tons; Is one. Big Ben Is un
i fortunately cracked.-London Globe.
h HISTORY ON A TUSK.
It
te Picture Made by a Cave Man Millions
of Years Ago.
Iong ago, so long that even a scien
tist would hardly dare venture a gues
as to the date. a man clad with only
a wild beast's skin about his loins was
it sitting at the mouth. of a cave In one
t of the rocky highlands in what Is now
' southern France. He was scratebing
V with a sharp Sint on the fragments
of an Ivory tusk, perhaps picturing for
some youthful admirers adventures
through which he had passed or an!
mals he had slain. That Ivory chip
was stored away as a treasure, to be
n lost and forgotten after the cave man's
if death One day a man'named Lartet.
Sdigging In the cavern Uoor,found It.
d On It was scratched a very fair rep
resentation of the hairy elephant.
Sprobably at once thit oldest picture
and the oldest human record 'In ex
Istence.
SWe know the cave man was a faith
'ful workman, for the melting Ice fields
eC of-Sibera ae yielded a perfect specd
emen of this ei'tlnct mamal, and the
- paleolithic picture Is a true copy. Not
Sonly hans this ancient sculptor given us
le a sample of the earliest art, but he has
[t el't us, more valuable-than all. a his
Etorical record of his time, for this
i rude picture Is simply a page from the
cave man's history which, translated
it into twentieth century Engh. say.
Is "Men1 thinking men, were contimpo
a raneous with the hairy elephant"
No record that any of humankind
Shave ever left Is half so ancient as
~this. The oidest Egyptian papyrus'Is
a thing of yesterday compared to this
paleolithic sculpture. While the cave
man was living in Europe the valley
7 of the Nile was yet only a wild waste.
