Experiment Suggested by Franklin am Performed by D'Allbard. To Benjamin Frmikllu belongs tin merit of having pen-el voil that a illivci experiment was needed to prove vital bo far was only a guess. In nn nrtlrU rntltled "Opinions and Conjorturo Concerning the Properties and EflVrtr of tlie Klet-trieal Matter Arising From Experiments and Observations Made at I'lillailelpbla, 171!)," tho following passive oconrs: "To dnternilne tlio question wlielhei tho rlouils that contain lightning arc cleclrllled or not I would proposo nn experiment to bo tried where It can he done conveniently. On the top of some high tower or steeple place a kind of sentry hoi big enough to contain a man and an electrical stand. From tho middle of the stand let an Iron rod rise and pnss, bending out of the door and then upright twenty feet or thirty feet, pointed very sharp at the end. If the electrical stand be kept clean and dry a man standing on It when such clouds ate passing low might be eloc- trltled and afford sparks, the roil drawing Ore to him from a cloud. "If any danger to the man should be apprehended, though I think there would he none, let him stand on the floor of his box and now and then bring near -to the rod tho loop of a wire that has one end fastened to the leads, he holding It by a wax handle. so the sparks If the rod be electrified will strike from the rod to the wire and not affect h I in." The experiment suggested by Frank lin was successfully performed In Mar ly, France, by D'Allbard on May 10. 17,"2; In London by Canton In spltnl square on July 20, 17.T2, nnd by Wilson In Chelmsford. Kssex. on Aug. 112 or the same venr. Franklin himself de- Scribed having used a kite In Fhll.t- tlclphlrt In a letter dated Oct. 10 with out giving the date of his observations. Hosenliorger ("Uesrlilolite der riiyt'lU. volume 2, page 310) mentioned that II was done In June. Franklin's disbelief In the dangerou character of the experiment must have received a severe shock when he heard of the dentil of 0. W. Rlchnmn, who, 111 the year 1733. was killed by an elec tric discharge drawn from the clouds lv means of a kite. - ' A HOG ORCHESTRA. French Musician Made the 8queaters 8ing a Tun. During the reign of Louis XI. of France there wag attained to his court one Abbot de Bnlgne, a man of con siderable wit. The abbot was some what musically Inclined and delighted the court with Inventions of odd mil slcnl Instruments. One day the kin':, after having enjoyed a hearty laug'i over one of these curious contrivance and deBlrlng to bailie tills tniMical genius, commanded him to produce harmonious sounds from the cries of hogs. This seemed an Impossibility to the king, and he prepared li!ni.'e!f to enjoy the dNeoinllttire of the abbot Much to his surprise, however, the a' hot readily agreed to produce them All he required was a sum of mono.", rmon receipt of which he declared lie would invent the most surprising thin ever heard In the way of musical ntroi ity. lie scoured the country nnd secured n ln'rjre number of lr.;. trying the!: vnlcos as to pitch and quality, ni"! finally, having fully satisfied himself be trranged the animals In a nv:t of pavilion richly decorated. The day c t ;e trial arrived, and tbe king and his court entered the pavilion prepared f r something, but great!)' hi doubt as to the success of the abbot with the hog However, there were the hogs, suit enough, and, much to the surprise nnd I'.elig'it of the king, they eonimen'v 1 t-J cry harmoniously and lu good ti:'i rendering an air that was fairly r-t ogulJtcd. The abbot had arranged a "Tlna of stops that wer connected "!t! the hogs and npon pulling one of lh:!-.i out cause I a teil'v to prick tho bog It connected with, making him squeal his note. ' The rest was easy, for by pulling out tbe different stops he produced the tune. A Ring Island. Many coral reef Islands In the Pa clfic are In the form of more or less perfect rings, or ovals. Inclosing la goons. The ring Island of Nlnafou, halfway between FIJI and Samoa, is not a coral reef, but a volcanic ring in closing a crater containing- a lake two miles In diameter. Toward the sea the ring is bordered with walls of black lava, and on the Inner side these break down in cliffs 200 to 300 feet In height. An eruption In 18S formed peninsula on the eastern side of tbe lake. While the ocean outside Is trem bling and thundering under a heavy wind the lake remains smooth or Is simply wrinkled with ripples. Th Tim to Cry "Haiti" If one be watchful there comes a time In the life of every man and wo man when one or more discoveries are made.- The walk Is not so brisk, the shoulders have got Into a way of slumping forward and the back Is not so erect as formerly. Now is the time to cry "Halt!" It Is the time to drill the body, tho time to revise sleep, diet, exercise, occupation, relaxation and all habits. Every son and daughter of hu manity should refuse this gradual Methods of th English at Table In th Seventeenth Century. The old English had three meals a day, of which the chief meal was tak en when the work of the day was fin ished. The first meal was at !, dinner was about 8 o'clock, and supper was taken Just before bedtime. The Nor mans dined at tho old English break fast time or a little later and supped at 7 p. m. In Tudor times tho higher classes dined at 11 nnd supped at !, but the merchants seldom took their meals before 12 and ft o'clock. The chief menls, dinner nnd supper, were taken in tho hall both by the old English and tho Normans, for tho par lor did not come Into use until the reign of Elizabeth. Breakfnst did not become a regular meal until quite late ly, and lr. Murray In the Oxford Dic tionary gave 1-W3 as the date of the earliest quotation in which tho word occurred. The meal did not become recognized until Into lu the seventeenth century, for l'epys habitually took his draft of half a pint of Ithenlsh wine or a dram of strong waters In place of a morning meal. Dinner was always the great meal of the day, nnd from the accession of Henry IV. to the death of Queen Elizabeth the dinners were as sumptuous and extravagant as any of those now served. Carving was then a tine art. J'.uru guest brought his own knife nnd spoon, for the small fork was not Introduced into England until Thomas Cory ill of Odcombe published his "Crudities" In 1811. I'opys took his spoon anil Tork with him to the lord mayor's feast In 10(13. The absence of forks led to much stress being laid upon the net of washing the hands both before and after hichIs and to the rule that the left hand alone should be dipped Into the common dish, tho right hand lielng occupied with the knife. The perfect dinner at the best ti of English cookery consisted of throe courses, tench complete lu Itself, mid terminated by a subtlety or device, the whole being rounded off with ypocras. after which the guests retired Into an other room, where pnstry, sweetmeats and fruit were served with the choicer wines. The English were essentially meat enters, nnd It was not until the time of Ihe commonwealth that "m ding attained its extraordinary popu larity. Indeed, tho first mention of pudding in the menus of the Buckfenst at St Bartholomew's hospital did not occur until 1710, and In 1712 Is an Item of 0 shillings for Ice. London Times. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Vanity lu a woman Is bad enough, but conceit In a man Is worse. Yon enn't tell anything about a man by his looks. Like mince pis, some of them can look very Innocent. If you can't have your way, take consolation from the Met unit every mnn encounters his stone wall. When parents are old nnd poor and become a charge to their children Hie children often act like all persons net who have been paid in advance. How nrofllsnte we are with the hours of rest when It Is bedtime and how we haggle over the flying minutes when It is time to get up in tne morn Ins! Mark this In favor of father: The woman who is charging things to fa ther at a dry gooi!s store buys more freely and with less worry than the timid womnn who charges to her hus band. Atchison (llolie. Canned Pointing. Pnlntlng under glass may now !- preserved indefinitely. Had th men of old known this th pictures of Apollo i might still live In tli first freshness nl their colors, and tV work of Raphael and Michael Angel i would look tod-.iy as It looked when It left the painter'' hands.- The method of preservation Is simple. The nr-n Is placed In a vacuum. It Is pros ed. like fruit. It Is sealed up fro:;i t;il 'ie destructive In fluences of the atmosphere. Sine. metal figures In the operation the can vas might Indeed be said to be canned. There is no reason why paintings kept In this manner In a vacuum should not endnre Indefinitely. A 8af Place. General William W. Belknap went to the war of the relicllion as the major of the Fifteenth Iowa Infantry. In one of the companies of that regiment was a young fellow named Darby Oreely When the regiment was marching over the gangplanks on to the steamer Sucker State the major sat on hW horse close by. As Darby Greely stepped on the plank bis mother grab bed him and polled blm to her bosom With intense emotion she cried and crooned over him and then, seeing the major, she cried, "Darby, me b'y, atlclc close to the major an' ye'll nlver git taurted."
