New Light on Electricity, An American observer has called ate tention to a curious property of an electric current in that when passing around a sharp corner it apparently projects a discharge along its original line of motion. In Germany the same phenomenon has also been observed, and now an- other authority advances the notion that it is evidence of the existence of a true electric momentum, resembling that of water flowing in a pipe. Fara- day had thought of the possibility of such a thing. but his experiments led him to conclude against its existence. Clerk Maxwell afterward raised the question again and also decided it in the negative. But it has lately been pointed out that the phenomenon is in accord with the most recent theory of the atomic nature of electricity. which had not been worked out in Maxwell's day. At any rate, it is said, there Is here a newly acquired fact about elec- tricity, whatever the ultimate explana- tion of it may be.—Chicago Record- Herald. In Ultima Thule. A New York newspaper man went as a correspondent for his paper to the national Democratic convention of 1908 at Denver. He traveled on the special which carried the New York city delegation. On the second morning out Green, on going into the diner for breakfast, found every table occupied by at least one person. He took a chair opposite a stout gentleman who had all the ear marks of an east side district leader. The train was flying through a fertile and populous section of [llinois. Pretty towns, fine farms and clustering ham- lets flitted by them. There were farm- ers and hired men at work in the fields and women stood at the doorways. The politician gazed out of the win- dow at the picture. Then he turned to Green with the air of one who had made a notable discovery. “No matter how far you go,” he said, “there's human life." —Saturday Even- ing Post. An Ancient Blast From Turkey. The Corriere della Sera reproduces the text of a quaiut document preserv- ed in the state archives at Vienna. It is the declaration of war sent by Sul- tan Mehemet IV. to the Emperor Leo- pold in 1682, “Be it known to you. the successor of the Caesars, to the king of Poland and to your allies, that Mehemet, the glorious and omnipotent emperor of the east and the west * * * is about to invade your paltry terri tories. We shall bring 1,300,000 sol- diers. on horse and foot, to crush you utterly and lay waste to all your do- mains. We command you to await our eoming in your residence in Vienna. where it is our intention to have you beheaded.” The rest of the missive 18 devoted to a tirade against John So- bieskit, who is promised a lingering death, preceded by elaborate and hor- rible tortures.—London Chronicle, Tomorrow. Little Gertrude of five summers had been living with her grandparents for some time. One morning she asked permission to go and sped the day at the house of a friend, when grandma, refusing to let her go that day. con- soled her by saying that she could go tomorrow. The next morning found Gertrude up bright and early, happy in the expectation of the promised visit. Shortly after breakfast she re- minded grandma of her promise, when she was again told that'she would be obliged to postpone her visit until to- morrow. Looking up quickly. her black eyes flashing with disappointment, she said: “Well, grandma, I thought today was tomorrow; you said it was yesterday.” ~National Monthly. Electrification of the Earth. The electrification of the earth is a problem of the physicists. As stated by Dr. George C. Simpson, observa- tions from pole to pole have proved that the earth is a negatively charged sphere and that the flow of negative electricity into the conducting air is equivalent to a constant current of more than 1000 amperes. Yet the charge of the earth's surface remains undiminished. More positive than neg- ative electricity is brought down by rain, etc, and no source of a return current of 1,000 amperes is known and no explanation of its absence.

Trains In the Wind. A side wind against a train greatly impedes its progress, according to loco- motive engineers. who say the flanges of the wheels grind on the opposite rail from the direction in which the wind is blowing, making the cars pull er third heavier.—Quincy (Ill) Whig.

Patience is the strongest of strong drinks, for it kills the giant Despair.— Jerrold, Mine Workmen Killed by Gas. A gang of laborers working for con- tractors on the Magnolia improvement works of the Baltimore & Ohio rail road were struck by an eastbound passenger train at Doe Gully, W. Va. Nine of the workmen were killed and four others badly injured. The in- jured men were taken to the hospital in Martinsburg. The laborers, all said to be Italians, an, were runnig from a blast and at the same time dodging a westbound freight when the around a curve upon them. Misses Mug; Kills Student. A fatal imitation of William Tell's arrow shot at the apple on his son's head was given by two university students in the city of Halle, Germany. A student named Krusskopf, who was with some of his comrades in a beer saloon, placed a beer mug on his head and a fellow student shot at it with a revolver. The first ball struck Kruss- kopf in the center of the forehead, killing him instantly. Hanged Himself In Bed. Bedfast for the last two months with paralysis, Aaron Grover, seventy years of age, a Main township farmer, near Bloomsburg, Pa., committed sui- cide. A rope was attached to the bed to enable him to raise himself. This he twisted around his neck three times and after passing the other end over the bedpost and attaching it to a door knob, allowed himself to drop. He was dead when found. A Trick With Numbers. Choose any four consecutive num- bers. as 50. 51. 52 and 53. Multiply them together. and the product may be divided by 24. This will be found to hold true for any four consecutive aumbers we may choose unless one of the numbers is 24 or a multiple of 24. such as 48, 72. 9, ete. In the same way any five consecutive nui gers mul tiplied together may be divid¥ by 120 unless one of the numbers is 120 or a multiple of 120.— Exchange. Mrs. R. P.
