Ordinarily one would think that a fish in the sea could go where it wish ed in the water—that is, that it could go as far down or come as close to the surface as i: desired. As there pre definite natural laws that prohibit this, of course it is not possible. Take a deep sea fish. It is under enormous pressure at its proper depth. Let it stray too high. however, and on the pressure lessening the fish gets larger and consequently lighter per unit volume and in consequence is pro pelled upward at an enormously in creasing rate by the buoyancy of the water until nt last it has to be ex pelled from the surface of the sea with great force. In the meantime the fish Las suffered an internal ex- plosion, as it were. and its eyes have popped out of its head. and its insides have expauded nud made holes in the body. This is why there are no per fect specimens of deep sea fish in any museuin. The difficulty could be part- ly overcome by hauling the fish up gradually. a heavy weight would have to be attached to the line to over: come the buoyancy of the fish. On the other hand. take a shallow water fish. It dares not stray too far but down, for the increasing pressure would tend to make it heavier if it was at all comnressible, but as it is not much so it would remain practi cally the same volume and wonld find no difficulty in propelling itself to nl- most any depth. The increasing pres. sure, however, would make it harder for the fish to move its organs, and its eves would be pressed into iis head. For all these reasons there are well defined strata of water in which cer tain fish nre found and no others. This ifs one method of determining the depth of a former sen where fossils of fish are found on the land. The depth of the sea at that place can be told within certain limits by the fossils.— New York Tribune. MISTAKEN SCIENTISTS. Newcomb Said the Acroplane Could Never Be a Success. Sir Humphry Davy's dogmatic pro- nouncement against gaslighting is not the only instance of a clever scientist being honelessly wrong. The early history of submarine cabling furnishes two striking examples. Consulted on the scientific side of the project, Fara. day asserted that the first cables were made too small. Then he said that “the larger the wire the more electric. ity would be required to charge it.” and in this quite incorrect opinion he was supported by other eminent scien tists. As n result of this dietum the current was increased nntil the opera tion “electrocuted” the wire and the cable broke down. It was Lord Tel vin who Ly sending messages through heavy cables with Ine electric currents nravedd that Puradar was mistaken Alry submited the project to mathe matics amd arelved at the conclusi that n eabio contd not he submerged to the necesenry depth and thar if it conhid no recosnizable signal could ever travel! from Ireland to Nova Scotia. In aviation the late Dr. Newcomb. one of the most distinguished mathe. maticiang he world has ever pro- duced, declared that he had mathe. matically investigated all the condi tions operating against the heavier than air machine and was convinced that the aeroplane would never he any more than a scientific toy, and the possibility of an aeroplane motor being reliable in the redneed atmos pheric pressure above 2.000 feet was by several experts said to be ont of the question.—Harper's Waekis. rodibly weal: Sour on the Eights. “Eight cent postage stamps are hoo- doos,” said an postal official. “None of the small offices handle them if they can help it. It's this way: They are just a wee shade different in color from the ones, and ir is no infrequent thing for a stamp clerk in a hurry to hand out un lot of eights when ones are asked and paid for. It always costs him 7 cents a stamp when he does it. The clerk here the other day during the rush hour. when the offices are closing. was called upon for a dol- lar's worth of ones. He handed out a hundred eights instead. Cost him $7. Then he got rid of nll the rest of the eights, and now he won't have any- thing to do with eights—even says ‘eaten’ instead of ‘ate’ —New York Herald Proper Chills, “I've had cold chills running over me ali day.” the thin man complained. “You ought to be glad of that.” said nis heartless friend. “I don't think | understand you.

Just think what an extraordicary thing it would be if you should have hot chills muning over you.” The Modern Way.

If you take a notion to settle down for a time and after you have been whisked out and back in a motorcar you think to ask how far the house is hn | from the station the agent carelessly if They Come Too Near the Surface | waves his hand and airily remarks. *About a mile.” you had best take heed as to what country you are in at the time. If it is in England you are all right, for the familiar 1,760 yards is the standard, but if you have taken a fancy to some sod thatched Irish cottage it means a tramp of 2240 , yards, and if you are moved to linger in the highlands remember that the braw Scot ealls 1,976 yards a mile. Considering the size of Switzerland. one might expect a mile to be about s¢ far as one could throw a ball, bul hardy mountaineers think 9,153 yards the proper thing, even when, as it gencrally is it is very much uphill. The Swiss is the longest mile of all, ' ale being followed by the Vienna post mile of S200 yards. The Flemish mile is 6.869 vards, the Prussian 8.207 vards, and in Denmark they walk 8,244 yards and call it a stroll of a mile. The Arabs generally ride good horses and call 2,143 yards a mile. while the Turks are satisfied with 1826 yards, and the [Italians shorten the distance of a mile to 1.766 yards, just =ix yards more than the American has in mind when the agent waves his band and blandly remarks, “About a mie.” — Chicago Record Her ald. ‘ ICEBERG GROUPINGS. Clusters and Lens Lines Formed by Storms and Ocean Currents, Among the perils and wonders of the ocean there are few move interesting things than iecehergs, interesting uot only by rensun of their gigantic size, their fantastic shapes, their excecding beauty. but also for the manner where in they array themselves, leebergs exhibit a tendency to for both clusters and long lines, and these groupings may arise from the effects both of ocean currenis and of storus, Some very singular lines of bergs, extending ror many hundreds of mlies east of Newfoundland, have been shown on official charts issued by the governiten:. Two of these cross each other. each keeping on its independent course after the crossing. In several instances parallel lines of bergs leave long spaces of clear waier between them. Curiousiy enough, while enormous flelds of ice invade the so called “stemaship lanes” of the Atlantic af the opening of spring during certain years, in other years at that season there Is comparatively little ice to The ice comes, of course. from the edges of the uaretic regions, from the | icebound coasts of Greenland and Labrador, where huge bergs. broken | from the front of the glaciers at the ! point where they reach the sea. stunt on their long journeys toward south, driven the great current | that flows from Baffin bay into northern Atlantic ocean. — Harper's | Weekly. be seen. the by the Why Stars Twinkle. { 21he twinkling of the stars is chiefly | an effect pro aced in the atmosphere | upon the waves of light. It is due to currents and strata of air of different densities intermingling and floating past each other, through which the light passes to the eye. It Is seen much more in cold than in warm weather and nearer the horizon more than overhead. The same effect may be seen by looking out of a window ’ over a hot radiator or a candle held on the other side of a hot stove, so that you have to look through a body of highly heated air at the candle flame. The flame will be seen to waver and quiver. In other words, the various layers of air are at differ- ent densities and in motion, hence the “twinkle.” — Exchange. The Grass Widow Defined. It is related of a Methodist bishop that when presiding over ua district conference {rr North Carolina he had an attack of hay fever and in conse- quence was somewhat irascible aud impatient. A young preacher who gave a rather poor account of his work was given a severe reprimand by the bish- op and asked to state the reason for his failure. “Well, bishop,” he explained, "we had a lot of trouble the first year with a grass widow, and” — “A grass widow!” roared the bishop. “And what, pray, Is a grass widow? “A grass widow, bishop,” responded the young clergyman, “is a womun whose husband died of hay fever.

Justice Marshaii Called It “God's Gre atest Miracle In Stone.” The great Natural bridge. which is one of the natural wonders of the United States, overlooks the James river valley. being on the western slope of the Blue mountains. it is just about the center of the state. It approaches Niagara in grandeur aud exceeds it in height and awful mys- tery. It is a single block of lime stone. with many shades of color. The walls are smooth, as if cut with chisels, and there is no sign of dis- placement. The visitor follows a tumbling cas-' cade down nu deep fissure in the moun- | tain under some of the largest arbor | vitae trees in the world and, turning down a line of steps cut into the preci: pice. suddenly finds himself by a swift Washington when a surveyor for Lord Fairfax visited the Natural bridze and carved Lis name, where it may still be secu. The original bridge tract i was granted by King George III to Thomas Jefferson in 1774. After he was president Jefferson visited the! place. surveyed it and made the map with Lis own hands. Jefferson spoke of the place as “a famous place that will draw the attention of the world.” Chief Justice Marshall wrote of the bridge as “God's greatest miracle iu stone.” Henry Clay wrote of “the bridze not made with hands that spans a river. carries a highway and makes two mounting one.” FOOT OF THE BEE. Strong Claws and Flexible Pads For Rough and Smooth Surfaces. The seeming miracle of insects walk- ing nouchrlantiy on a ceiling is ex- plained by Tickner Edwardes, chair man of the British Beekeepers’ {1% 50- ciation. in his book on “The Lore of the Honeybee.” Insects owe such pow- er, it appears, to an ingenious device which is well iliustrated in the feot of the Lee.
