FIRST USE OF GAS.
Tbe Way the Idea of Cains It For 1
Ll*ht Waa Ridiculed. 1
Great was the amazement of all Eu-1(
: rope when at about the close of the j
century William Murdoch discovered .
that gas could be used for illuminating
purposes. So little was the invention
understood by those who had not seen
it in use that even the great and wise j
r (?) men of the British parliament <
f laughed at the idea. "How can there 1
be light without a wick?" said one
J member of that august body, with a \
5 wink and a knowing nod. Even the ]
; great Sir Humphry Davy ridiculed the ]
L laea or ugnung towns ana ciues wiui (
gas. He one day asked Murdoch, "Do 1
you mean to use the dome of St Paul's ]
1 for your gas meter?" Sir Walter Scott
' also made merry of the gas Idea and i
of the coming attempt to "illuminate <
' London with smoke from a tar fac- J
tory." |
I When the house of commons was
[ finally lighted with the new illuminant,
the architect and custodian of the
building, who imagined that the gas
[ ran as fire through the pipes, insisted
that they be removed several inches "
i from the wall to prevent the building
i from taking fire! Several distinguished
members were also observed carefully J
; touching the pipes with their gloved :
; fingers and then smelling of them to .
see if they could detect the odor of j
burned leather. <

INSTANT DEATH. J
It Is Not So Quick but That the Mind !
Has Time to Act. ^
It is quesuoname 11 sucu a pueuomenon
aa instant death Is known to the i
scientist and investigator. Physicians <
and surgeons tell us that death by <
gunshot wound is the easiest mode of t
terminating life; yet rapid as such a 1
mode of taking off must necessarily
be, the body has leisure to feel and
time to reflect and on rare occasions
even to act
On the first attempt of one of the "
adherents of the Spanish monarch to
assassinate William, prince of Orange,
the ball passed through the bones of ]
his face and brought him to the ground. \
In the instant which preceded stupe- j
faction, however, he was able to frame t
the notion that the ceiling of a room s
had fallen in and crushed him. j
Another question in tills connection :
1s that of probable pain. Although nu- t
merous Instances could be cited in r
support of the view that the mind acts c
In cases of so called instant death, it 1
by no means follows that the infliction 2
of a fatal blow Is attended by the least 1
semblance of pain or a single pang of *
fear or regret Unless death results ,
immediately, however, the pain may r
be as varied as the nature of the in- t
juries. j

Severe Penalties For Smoklaf Wore
In Vogue In Oldna Time*.
Strange as it may appear now, both !
sultans of Turkey and shahs of Per-1
sia have tried their best to^put down
smoking. In Turkey, formerly, smoking
was a crime punishable by the offenders
having their pipes thrust
through their noses, and in Russia in
1634 the noses of smokers were cut off.
In Transylvania offenders were fined
from 3 to 200 florins. In Berne, Switzerland,
1661. where crimes were divided
into sections according to the
Ten Commandments, smoking was
classed with adultery. The tribunal to
put down smoking, called chambre-autabaf.
continued to the middle of the
eighteenth century. The climax was
reached by Amarath IV., king of Persia,
who made it a capital offense.
In England Elizabeth issued a proclamation
against smoking in 1584, and
James' "counterblast against tobacco,"
with its pompous language, is well
known. All through his reign it was
a common stipulation that "no puffer
of tobacco" should be appointed schoolmaster.
A Match For Him.
At a political meeting in Wales the
chairman, a deacon of strong convictions,
but no sense of humor, introduced
a speaker thus: "I haff to introduce
to you tonight the member for
the Carnarvon boroughs. He hass
come here to reply to what the bishop
of St Asaph said the other night about ?
Welsh disestablishment In my op in
ion, gentlemen, that bishop of Asaph
iss one of the biggest liars in creashon;
bat thank goodness?yes, thank good- ,
ness?we haff a match for him tonight" i

The Koreans. <
The people of Korea are neither Jap- i
anese nor Chinese. They are Mon- 1
golians and have a polysyllabic lan- <
gnage, with a phonetic alphabet They i
have a recorded history of disputed T
authenticity which claims for them j
a continuous existence as a Korean (
people of about 5,000 years, the earlier (
part of which of course is shrouded in
mists or traditions ana came.

Cold Foot.
When Dr. John A. Hartweil, better i
known as "Josh" Hartweil, was at ?
Yale he was asked by a professor what 1
would happen to a patient if his temperature
were to get as low as possible.
"Why, sir," Hartweil gravely re- .
! plied, "he would have cold feet"
