Arithmetic, algebra and trigonometry are not romantic, but they may sccom- plish things which greatly impress the imagination. By means of them a pro- fessor at Yale university found a few yeurs ago an uerolite that po ous bad ing pictures Ly the ald of a telescope of a comet which wus invisible to the naked eye. When his negatives were developed one of them revealed the fall of a meteor. It wax too small an ob- Ject to attract the attention of the unaided eyes, but its line on the pho- tograph indicated that it must bave come (0 the earth. The picture was shown to an astro- nomical professor at Yale. Ascertain. ing the point of observation and reck- oning with the sid of the data which the photograph itself supplied, he made a calculation which proved that the meteor wust have fallen in the neigh- borhoud of a reservoir some two miles of Danbury, Conn.

How do we go to sleep? How does Mother Nature chariy away our con- sciousness? First of all she throws her spell on those centers of our bodies that preside over the muscular sys tem, causing one group of muscles after another gradually ro collapse. Thereafter various powers of mind succumb in regular order. First we lose attention and judgment, then memory goes, and Imagination wan- ders away In reveriex of Its own. Ideas of time and space cease to con- trol thought aus gentle sleep, the nurse of our life, draws nearer. Then comes the turn of the special senses, begin- ning with sight. Eyelids close, and eyeballs turn upward and inward, as if to shut out all light, the pupils con- tracting more and more as slumber steals over us. The turn of the ears comes: the pow- er of bearing fades away. The heart beats aud breath is drawn more and more slowly. The heart beats from ten to twenty times less frequently each minute, or 5,000 times less during the night, while breathiug is not only slower but much more shollow than during waking hours. Temperature falls by perbaps 2 degrees. and the body loses three times less heat than when awake.

Bohemians and Wedding Rings. “Here are two wedding rings that 1 have just made over,” sald the jew- eler. “They are for Bohemian women, their husbands’ rings cut down to fit. That is a custom In their country. Both busband and wife wear wed- ding tings there. If the man loses his ring he has to buy a new one, but if the woman loses hers she wears her husband's. 1 do a good deal of that kind of work. Other women who lose wedding rings just buy another one | and say nothing about It, but these wo- | men are too couscientious for that. | Usually 1 have to make the man's ring smaller, but once in awhile it bas to . be spliced to make it fit.
