Just before sunset on the afternoon of the 13th of Decetnlier, 1774, Taul Itevere Jumped from his foam covered flccd lu front of a bouse In Durham, N. IL, rushed lu and Informed Its owner, Major John Sullivan, that two regiments of British regulars were about to march from Hoston to occupy rortumotith mid the fort In lis harbor. In nu Instant Sullivan made up his mind as to what It was his duty to do, and within leBS than two hours by the old grandfather's clock that stood In his ball he had gathered his force and was ready for business. The party, sixteen In number, board ed nn uuwleldy sloop rigged old craft and darted ofT down the river to Ports mouth. It was a clear, cold moonlight tnight, and presently the crude masonry of old J'ort William and Mary loomed up n tint ilNiim'e, reminding tliem of the fact that they were close on to their quarry. When within a rod or so of the shore, their vessel grounded lu the shallow water, and lu silence they waded to land, mounted the fort, surprised the garrison and found themselves victori ous without the loss of a man or even of a drop of blood. Seeming tho prisoners, the patriots !t once broke Into the magazine, who;v they found 100 pounds of powder. T'.:o powder, along with ten stand of suuiil arms, was put aboard of elr cru:t and taken back to Durham, whore it was burled under the pulpit of the old meeting house In frout of Major Sulli van's house. Six months Inter the battle of Bunker Hill came otr, and It was this same powder, capturei! by Slajor Sullivan at I'ort William and Mary, that enabled the Americans to kill so many of the British lu that historic encounter. Tow der was exceedingly scarce In the pa triot army, and Sullivan, anticipating that such might be the case, filled "old John Deinerett's ox cart" with the pow der he had burled under Parson Ad am's pulpit and sent It over the sixty odd miles of rocky road to Boston, where It was destined to do such good, service In the cause of liberty. It wag the news of Sullivan's capture of Fort William and Mary that precip itated the Revolution. After such a daring deed Lexington was a foregone conclusion. In tbe words of another, "SulllTAli was the first hian In active rebellion against the British government, and he drew with, him the province lie lived In." In an address on the history of this part of New Hampshire the Rev. Quint of Dover, referring to the attack on the fort, said-: "The daring charac ter of the assault cannot bo overesti mated. It was nn organized Invest ment of a royal fortress where the king's Dag was flying and where the king's garrison met them with mus kets and artillery. It was four months before Lexington, and Lexington was resistance to ntinek, while tills was deliberate assault." Rev. Thomas B. Gre?ory In New York American. Movement, of Jellyfish. The movements of the Jellyflshes are governed by ringlike disks which pul sate rhythmically lu response to stlm uluses, says Professor A. O. Mayer. When the otitcr sense organs of the jellyfish casslopen are cut off, the disk is paralyzed and does not pulsate in sea water. But If the mutilated disk be subjected to a mechanical or elec trical shock a single touch with a crystal of potassium sulphate will suf fice It suddenly springs into unusually rapid rhythmical pulsations. This Is regular and sustained like clockwork and continues Indefinitely without fur ther external stimulation. The waves of pulsation all arise from the point which has been stimulated, aud any cut that breaks the circuit stops the waves of pulsation. When each wave in a complete circuit returns to the point where tbe stimulus was first ap plied, it Is re-enforced and again sent out through the circuit. The center the point where tbe stimulus Is applied once established remaius fixed as long as tbe disk continues to pulsate. Aud, once It Is started by a stimulus, the pulsation Is self sustaining that is. It continues, sustained by Internal stimuli until stopped by an external cause. New York World. No "Phonetic Sense" In English. It Is because of the havoc which the present spelling has wrought In our conceptions of tbe proper representa tion of sounds that tbe English race, as a race, has lost largely the phonetic sense. Dictate to a dozen educated Ger mans or Italians a passage containing a large proportion of words they have never heard before. If the pronuncia tion has been clearly conveyed, they will all spell them the same way and will all spell them correctly. Try - a similar experiment with a dozen Eng lish speaking persona of .the very high est cultivation In tbe number It would be desirable to hove certain ( -"Idents of our leading universities hided. Not only would they all be fairly cer tain to spell the same words different ly, but the same man would represent the same sound in different Instances by different signs. Tbe reason la ob vious enough. In German or Italian the same sound Is Invariably conveyed by tbe same letter or by the same com bination of : letters. In English the writer would have an Indefinite num ber of letters or combinations to select from, with no exclusive value attached to any of them. T. B. Lounsbury In Atlantic. Poekets.
