When a mathematical astronomer in Paris gave a Berlin observatory a search warrant for a new planet and, | turning his telescope as directed, the Berlin observer found the previously | unknown planet all the world won- | dered. Equally remarkable have been | a prediction and its verification in the | history of modern chemistry. Grading | the known elements of nature acgord- | ing to the weight of their respective | atoms, it was observed that the ele- | ments, some seventy or more in num- | ber, formed a scale marked by period- | jeity like the scale in music. This | periodic law in the band of genius be- | came an instrument of research. It | was in 1871 that Mendeleef, the Rus- | sian chemist, in forming the scale of | elements, found it necessary to leave three spaces vacant for undiscovered elements to make his table true. Neither did he hesitate to predict the properties which these elements should possess when discovered. It was as if an astrologer should inform you that you would meet some time in your life three men and that with the utmost particularity be told you their respective physical weights, the color of their hair, the size of bat, shoe and | glove worn by each and. in a word. | all the habits of mind and body suf- ficient to discriminate them positively from all other men. Not only was the prediction literally fulfilled. but Men- deleef had the unexpected pleasure to gee the verification in his day. for | out of the night of the unknown one after another came the predicted ele- ments into the clear sunlight of science and were instantly recognized.—Louls- ville Courier-Journaal. —————————— A Trick of the Sun. Upon a mountain in Andalusia quaint spectral forms are frequently seen. Whenever there is a heavy mist and persons are ascending the moun- tain they appear in all their ghostly splendor and sometimes so suddenly as to strike dismay into the hearts of those who see them for the first time. Of course it is all a trick played by the sun. When a mist partially | shrouds the mountain the sun is nat- urally obscured, and then he revenges himself by projecting the shadow of any person who is ascending the mountain until it assumes the form of of a gigantic specter. An Insect Gunner. Many insects have some means of defense from their natural enemies, none of which is more curious than that of a small beetle, which, when closely pursued, discharges a puff of poisonous vapor with a distinct deton- ation. Undoubtedly in many instances this aids the diminutive gunner in his escape, mainly, in all probability, by startling his pursuer and causing him to abanadon the chase. From this peculiar acquirement. this little fellow is known as the bombardier beetle. mms She Doesn't Ask. “Does your wife ask rou for things she knows you cannot afford?” “She hasn't asked me for a thing not ask me; she tells me.”-—Houston He Found It. «] started out on the theory that the world had an opening for me, and I wen! iis i ! i Hs RET i ih fi : ! i gE | : i i i fF ! 5 i 3 & fi pt : g 8 ! ¢ you sit up all night?” She nodded. “His mother has had no sl for two nights.” The girl shrugged her shoulders. “Who knows?

He was silent for a moment, and then he said: “Would you have time to read my book rns? “Oh, if I might,’’ she said eagerly, “but you haven't it with you. “I will bring it,” he told her, “after sup- per.” “But,” she protested. “There are no ‘buts,’ ” hesaid, smiling; “if you will read it, I will get it to you.” The sky had darkened, and, as he went | toward home, he faced clouds in the southeast. “It is going t» rain,” Otto Brand proph- esied as they sat down to supper. The other three men hoped that it would not. Already soaked, making the cutting of corn im- possible, and another rain with a frost on top of it would spoil all chance of fill- ing the silo. an Alen could not enter into their technical objections. He hoped it would not rain, because he wanted to takea book to mazie Wetherell, and he had not brought a raincoat. But it did rain, and he went without a rain-coat! The house, as he neared it, showed no light, and under the thick canopy of the trees there was no sound but the drip, drip of the rain. By feeling and instinct he found the front r, and knocked. There was a movement inside, and then Mazie Wetherell. asked softly: “Who's re? “I have brought the book." The bolt was withdrawn, and in the hall, scarcely lighted by the shaded lamp in the room beyond, stood the girl, ina loose gray gown, with brai shining hair—a shadowy being, half-merged into the shadows. “I thought you would not come.” in a hushed tone, "in such a storm.” “I said I should come. The book may help you through the long night.” She caught her breath quickly. “The child is awfully ill.” “Are you afraid? Let me stay.” “Oh, no, no. His mother is sleeping, and I shall have your book.” She did not ask him in, and so he went away at once, beating his Way ack in the wind and rain, fi a little stream where the low foot- e was reaching home soaking wet, but afire with dreams. Otto Brand was waiting for him, a little curious as to what had taken him out so late, but, getting no satisfaction, he fol- lowed Van Alen upstairs, and built a fire for him in the big bedroom. And pres- ently, in the light of the leaping flames, the roses on the canopy of the bed glow- ed pink. | “Ain't you goin’ to sl in the bed?” Otto asked, as he wa Van Alen ar- range the covers on the couch. 0,” said Van Alen shortly, “the honor is too great. It might keep me awake.” “My feet would hang over,” Otto said. “Funny thing, wasn't it, for a man to make a will like that?” “I su every man has a right to do as he pleases,” Van Alen responded cold- ly. He was not inclined to discuss the eccentricities of his little old ancestor with this young giant. "Of course," Otto , and his next remark was called forth by Van Alen’s pale blue pajamas. i Lr ee 10W On Me™ Van Alen explained that in the city they were worn, and that silk was cool, but while he talked he was by akind of fury. For the first time the delicate garments, the luxurious toilet articles packed in his bag, seemed fop- Risk, Siflagesaty, things for a woman. ith all of them, he could not compete with this fair young god, who used a rough towel and a tin basin on the kitch- en bench. “Maybe I'd better go,” the boy offered. "You'll want to go to bed.” But Van Alen held him. “I always smoke first,” he said, and, wrapped in his dressing-gown, he flung himself into a chair on the opposite side of the fire- And after a time he brought the con- versation around to Mazie Wetherell. He found the boy rather sure of his success with her. ~All women arealike, hesaid; “you've uch trouble goin’ ie mer be because she thinks She's_ better than the He went away, and Van Alen stared long into the fire, untii the flames left a heart of opal among the ashes. the ground was: i : i SEE isi g E 8 iin | iid ; i i : 7 2 Th £ : : Be E si fered; alone, for Otto was waiting for him at the Fate, “T ain't got nothin’ else to do,” the boy said; “everything is held up by therain. It was when they came to the little stream that Van Alen had forded night before that they saw Mazie Weth- erel “I can't get across,” she called from the other side. The bridge, which had been covered when Van Alen passed, was now washed and the foaming brown waters the banks. g “I'll carry you over,” straightway he waded through the stream, and the water came above his high boots to his hips. He lifted her in his stro brought her back, with her igh hair fluttering against his lips, and Van Alen, Jaging impotently, stood and watched im. It seemed to him that Otto's air was almost insultingly triumphant as he set the girl on her feet and smiled down at her. And as she smiled back, Van Alen turned on his heel and left them. Presently he heard her running after him lightly over the sodden ground. And when she reached his side she said: “Your book was wonderful.” “But he carried you over the stream.” Her eyes flashed a question, then blaz- ed. “There, you've come back to it,” she said. “What makes you?” pm I wanted to carry you my- se ey “Silly,” she said; “any man could carry | me across the stream—but only you could Write that chapter in the middle of the “You liked it?” he cried, radiantly. “Liked it?" she asked. “I read it once, and then I read it again—on my knees.” Her voice seemed to drop away breath- less.
