Hydrogen and oxygen gases sepn rately may be compressed to the liquid form, and then the compression fur ther is exceedingly difficult. But in the chemical union of two atoms of hydrogen with one of oxygen to form a water molecule the Immense force or atomic attraction, or chemism, as one may prefer to name the force, is one of the most powerful in nature, it re duces huge volumes of the gases down to a far less volume, and the force is far greater than can be secured In any machine of screws, levers or hydraulic ,'Cesses. Atomic attraction is perhaps ihe most powerful in nature. At least il is strong enough to hold atoms oi steel aud platinum together and dia inonds.—New York American. Napier at the Battle of Meaanee.

Waylaying Mendelssohn. After the London performance of "St. Paul" by the Sacred Harmonic society at Exeter hall in 1537 Mendelssohn's coach was waylaid at midnight on bis way to Dover, but instead of being robbed the composer was presented with a silver snuffbox by a group of devotees. He had behaved with charm lug grace in an awkward incident The London performance In question was to have been conducted by him But the Birmingham festival was just due, and he was the great attraction there in the same oratorio. It was felt that his appearance as conductor iu London at that juncture would detract from the importance of his visit to Birmingham. Mendelssohn saw the point and canceled his London en gagement. But he attended the per forma nee and was so winning to all concerned—audience, performers, ofli cials—that he turned a disappointment into a scene of wild enthusiasm. Good Guoss.

Inventor of Turpinile Which Has Killed Many Germans B J\ h \ ■ < v - -,OV ; u , j w-ip ", 7.j % fir * i r J M. TURPIN. This is the inventor of turpinite, th* deadly gas which has been inclosed in French shells. It is said that one ol these shells weighing fifty-six pounds will kill every one in a space of 400 yards of where it explodes. M. Tur pin, the inventor, is shown in his laboratory. Scores of Germans havf been found dead in trenches without a single wound in localities where this shell has been used. The French however, are about to abandon its us' because, of the great danger in firing it African English. An extraordinary jargon, which la claimed to be tbe English language, is spoken by many of the natives on tbe African continent. Mrs. Mary Gaunt in her book "Alone In West Africa" says: "Listening very carefully. It took a great deal of persuasion to make me believe the xvords were English. When I bought bananas from a woman sit ting under the shade of a spreading cotton tree and the man behind her came forward and held out his hand, saying, 'Make you gi'e me been, voman coppa all,' I grasped tfie fact that he intended to have the money long be fore I understood that he bad said in the only English and probably In the only speech he knew, 'Give me her money.' "Some of the words, of course, be come commonplaces of everyday life. and I am sure the next time I call on a friend who is rich enough to have a manservant association of ideas will take me back, and 1 shall ask quite naturally, 'Massa lib?' instead of the customary 'ls Mrs. Jones at home?'" Bush Negroes of Guiana. The bosch negers (bush negroes) of French Guiana are magnificent speci mens of physical manhood. To the numerous cues of their braided hair are often attached nickel bicycle clips and to their ears rings of gold. Gaudy colored breechcloths "made in Germa ny" are practically their only clothing. They are pagans and worship the cot ton tree to propitiate a bad spirit Obeah is the name they give to any thing about which they may be super stitious, applying it to all evil influ ences, to their fetishes or charms in general. Many resented a camera as a bad obeah. Their language, called taki-taki (talk talk) is a most remarkable linguistic compound of their original Cromautl coast dialects, with a good measure of pidgin English and Dutch and spiced with a few derivatives from French and Spanish. Dilemmas of Welsh Postmen. The postal departments of certain districts in Wales are in a well nigh chaotic condition owing to the pre ponderance of families bearing the name of Jones. For example, the poor, unfortunate Swansea Valley postman is to be pitied when he finds that be has to deliver correctly seventeen let ters, all addressed confidentially to "Mr. Jones," where there are nine different families of the name within a radius of 500 yards in a district where the houses are erratically numbered and most of the streets are nameless. So numerous are the Joneses in this part of the principality aud so rapid is the growth of the places in the valley that it is now almost Impossible for a post man—probably a Jones himself—to give the right letters to the right Joneses every time.—London Cur. Washington Post A Thundering Yarn. A year or two ago, in a North of Eng land city, writes Mr. J. H. Elgir, F. R. A. S.. in the Yorkshire Weekly Post a man told me that during a very vio lent thunderstorm all the windows of his club were thrown wide open. "To let the lightning in!" I remarked. "Not exactly," he replied, "but to let it out again if it did get in." As a fact it accepted the invitation to enter the club with alacrity, and though it mag naminously spared the foolhardy peo ple responsible for the invitation, it wrecked a large safe in an adjoining room. The person who related this to me said he would ever after look upon lightning as the " 'cutest thing in cre ation." It is the flash that murders; the poor thunder never harm'd head.

A distinguished British physician who has been at some pains to collect data on the subject asserts that few persons about to d : e have really any fear of dissolution. There is cited the case of tbe African explorer who was partially devoured by a lion. He de- clared that he felt no pain or fear and that his only sensation was one of in tense curiosity as to what portion of his body the lion would take uext. Pasha. Turkish ambassador at London, used to tell of un attack made upon him by a bear during a hunt iu the east The beast tore off a bit of tlie Turk s band, a part of his arm and a portion of his shoulder. Rusteni solemnly averred that he suf fered neither pain nor fear, but that tie felt the greatest indignation because the bear grunted with so much faction while munching him. Grant Allen, whose scientific habit oi thought gave weight to his words. sar that in his boyhood he nad a narrow escape from drowning. While skating he fell through thin Ice over a place whence several blocks had the day before been removed. He was carried under the thicker ire h youd aud when he came to the surface Iried to break through by butting his head against it. The result wus that he wast stunned, then numbed by the cold aud so waterlogged that artificial respiration had to be employed to re store him. These are the impressions as recorded by him with reference to the pain he suffered: "The knowledge that I have thus ex perienced death in my own person has had a great dea! to do with my utter physical indifference to it. I know how It feels. I had only a sense of cold damp and breathlessness, a short strug gle, aud then all was over. "I had been momentarily uncomfort able, but it was not half so bad as breaking an arm or having a tooth drawn. In frict. dying is as painless as falling asleep. It is only the previous struggle, the sense of its approach, that is at all uncomfortable. Even this is less unpleasant than I should have ex pected. There was a total absence of any craven shrinking. The sensatioix was merely the physical one of gasping for breath.—Harper's Weekly. Not Since the Flood. Sir Henry Irving once received what he at the time considered a very pal pable snub, delivered him by a high lander. While touring in Scotland the actor visited some of the notable tradi tionary scenes associated with Shako speareau drama. As a matter of course one of the first pilgrimages was to tbt blasted heath where Macbeth met the witches. In an agreeable mood Sir Henry as they drove uloug turned smil ingly to his driver. "Are there any witches about now?" he asked. The driver whipped up his horses. "Not since the flood," he replied in his curt Scots way. i JAMES COLANGELO £ £ Italian interpreter £ and Labor Information Bureau £ Hotel Montgomery Indiana, Pa. To the Wholesaler.

Rearing the Bell Rock Tower Was ■ Perilous Piece of Work. Right down to the time of John Smenton, who inveuted the stone tow er, lighthouses were built of wood. It was Smeaton's success In placing a stone edifice on the dreaded Fddystouo rocks in the eighteenth century which really gave an impetus to lighthouse , building, and since then the sea builder j has achieved many notable conquests in ail parts of the globe, j The next erected was that built by R. Stevenson on the Bell rock, on tne , famous Inch cape reef, off the coast of Scotland. The construction of this 1 lighthouse was one long, terrible battle with the angry sea. The securing of the foundations, naturally the most hazardous part of the whole undertak ! iug. proved exceedingly difficult It is recorded that the men worked with desperation. Only two could re- I main on the rock at n time, but they stuck there with the tenacity of leech es. the cold waters of the North sea bearing down every few minutes and sweeping entirely over them. When the first stone was at last swung into position the men. ragged, chilled and worn with the awful struggle, clung to the iron rods which they had erected upon the reef and cheered madly, like soldiers just over the ramparts of an enemy's fort. Again and again they were absolute ly driven from the rock. When the tower began to appear well above the sea terrible storms arose and swamped the works. On several occasions ' blocks weighing as much as two tons were ruthlessly torn out of their places and swept into the sea despite dove tailed joints and Portland cement. In the end the sea builder proved victori ous, as be always does, but It cost four j f ears' labor and the expenditure of £OO,OOO before the lighthouse stood complete.—Wide World Magazine. Near Laurels. A certain major iu the Philippines, who seemed to be favored with the good will of the powers, managed in some way always to get leave just be fore trouble with the natives was due.

It will be a wreath of leaves of absence." —New York Post. Why Men's Hats Have a Bow. A bow is always to be found on the left side of a man's hat. This is a sur vival of the old days when hats were costly articles. In order to provide against the hat being blown away in stormy weather a cord or ribbon was fastened around the crown, with ends hanging so that they could be fastened to part of the attire or could be grasped by the hand. The ends fell on the left side, of course, as the left hand is more often disengaged than the right. When not required it was usual for the ends to be tied in a bow. The bow became smaller and smaller, but it still remains and is likely to do so as long as men wear hats. 3
