Now just in the same way that a gim let. boring its way into wood, becomes warm, so a bullet going 20 miles a minute would become extremely warm in boring its way through 20 miles of air And in the same way that a bullet became warm, so a meteorite traveling 10,000 times as fast as a bullet, travel ing at this speed perhaps for hundreds of years through realms of space whose paralyzing cold was indescribable and finding itself at last plunging through the warm bath of the air, became hot ter and hotter and hotter.

Moi&aMerlen Built In a Wildly Inac cessible Locality. The famous monasteries of Meteora crown the summits of vast rock pinna cles rising from the plain of Thessaly. By what strange means the first cun ning architects of these airy perches succeeded in reaching the scene of their labors is a matter wreathed in mystery. The cliffs are far too smooth and per pendicular for any man to climb by hand and foot, and history guards jeal ously the secret of the monasteries. All that is known about them is that the monks and wandering friars of the mid dle ages found sanctuary here when first the crescent and scimiter ran red with Christian blood. Visitors to the monks' abode announce their presence by shouting until some one far above looks out and lets the net, which is worked by a windlass, come down. The sensation of the ascent is dis tinctly novel. Seated on the ground in the center of tho net, the meshes are one by one looped on to a large iron hood. As the rope becomes taut the cords press uncomfortably hard upon various points of one’s body, and with a strong wind blowing it swings to and fro and bumps its human load against the cliff. The rope, as it slowly winds on the drum up in tho monastery, kinks occasionally, and the jerk gives one the impression that the rickety con cern is giving way. The journey, however, ends safely 170 feet above the ground, where the monks promptly extricate the visitor and give him a pleasant welcome. The Caroline Inlander!.

Yet ho is not implacable and counts reconciliation a noble and princely thing There is a form of eti quette to be observed on these occasions —a present (katom) is made, an apology offered, a piece of sugar cane accepted by the aggrieved party, honor is satis fied. and the matter ends.

Not many years ago .-, famous whist pane was ph; d at. ; ; '.Hairy. Vt.. two of the sitters in b ing General Double day and Henry Dot r of the well known firm of Dater, Thompson & Co. It was something like 5 . t lo cents a corner; Bo you see it was easy for a man to lose as much as SI.OO in an afternoon. Play began after the Sudbury dinner hour, half past 1, and lasted until teatime. The old roosters became so wrapped up in the game that nothing short of an earthquake could have disturbed them. Brokers in New York could do nothing to shake the interest. The game was played at the time of tho historic Hannibal and St. Joe cor- • son & Co., in the interest of their client, John Duff of Boston. Doubleday was Belling the stock short through Van Schaiek Ar Co., and at a quarter to 2 on the eventful day he received a telegram from his brokers advising him of the situation. The game was stopped just long enough for him to read it and lay it aside. In 20 minutes a second dis patch arrived, was read and cast aside. Doubleday was winning at the rate of 35 cents an hour. What did he care about Hannibal and St Joe? Later in the afternoon a, third summons came from Van Schaick <k Co., ayul at 5 o'clock a fourth. Then Doubleday arose and remarked: “Gentlemen. I have en joyed the game. My winnings aro ex actly $1.65. I must say good afternoon, as it is necessary for me to take the first train for New York. ” The next morn ing his brokers informed him that he could settle for SIOO,OOO. At the time the first telegram was sent he could have settled for $25,000, at the time of the second for $50,000, the third for $75,000. He had ample warning, but in the thick of the Sudbury game of whist he believed the rise was only a threatening flurry. - Now York Press. SCOTCH SIMPLICITY. The Manon, the Budding Architect and a Conscience Stricken I.nd. The Scotch are fond of telling stories which illustrate the peculiar simplicity of mind of their country people. This simplicity at least saves them from wicked guile. One of these stories relates that an honest mason once had a contract to build a small house of stone. He came early and began from the inside to lay the stone, working very fast. At noon his young son brought him his dinner, peeping over the wall as he handed tho basket to his father. With honest pride in his eye, the mason looked over to the boy. “Weel, Jock, hoo d’ye think I’m gettin on?” he asked. “Ye’re getting on.famous, feyther,” answered Jock, looking at tho solid wall, in which there waa no break. “But hoo d’ye get oot?” The mason looked around. It was true. He had provided the horuse with no door at all, and he was on the inside. He looked kindly and very admiringly at the boy. “Mon, Jock, ye’ve a grand heid on ye!” he exclaimed. “Ye’ll be an archi tect yet, as sure as yer feyther’s a ma son !” Another story shows how unsuccess ful as a thief the rustic Scot may be. Two young plowmen went into a gar den at night to steal gooseberries. The bushes surrounded a plot of potatoes, and as one of the lads groped about he got a handful of potato plums, which he quickly put into his mouth. Then he gasped to his comrade: “Oh. Jock. I’m poisoned! For ony sake, shove me through the hedge again, for I waudna like to dee i’ the auld man’s gairden!”—Youth s Companion. Tobacco lii ITirlhikl, IS-13.

My first schoolmaster always carried his snuff loose in his waistcoat pocket, and in numerable were his dips into it with two fingers and a thumb in the course of the day, while the big gauffered frill which protruded from tho bosom of his shirt was always thickly sprinkled with it. We used to notice that ho never eeenied to relish one of his huge pinches so much as immediately after having administered a sound castigation to some recalcitrant pupil. On the other hand, there was little or no open air smoking, except in the case of laboring men going to or from their work. In this respect lucifer matches have something to answer for; but for them the practice of outdoor smoking would never have grown to its present enormous proportions. Chambers’ Journal.

Before ex-Congressman John Finerfy ! became famous as the great American I British lion tail twister he was one of i the best reporters in Chicago. Ho was I on The Tribune, and one day a certain ! city editor (best known to fame as the man who always wore a straw hat and smoked a corncob pipe) decided that Mr. Finerfy should be disciplined. It was Saturday, and sometime after midnight Mr. Finertj’ was assigned to report the morning sermon of an ob scure minister way down on the South Side Finerty was the senior, and his associates wero thunderstruck. They expected an explosion, at least, but Finerty remained calm and dignified, although a trifle pale “Then he will resign,” they thought, but Finerty walked out and made no sign. To the surprise of every one, he reported the next day as usual and turned in an ab stract of the sermon. Every one read it on Monday morning, and it was cer tainly an eloquent and carefully report ed sermon. That afternoon a man of clerical cut called on the city editor and asked to see tho young man who had reported his sermon tho morning before. Mr Finerty was introduced. The man of the clerical cut would like to see Mr Finerty alone for a few moments. Out in the hallway he asked, “Os course, ' you were not at my church ysterday I morning?” “No,” replied Finerty. “Well, I simply stopped to thank you I for the sermon. It was far more elo : qrient than the one I preached.” Finerty had composed the sermon in j a neighboring cellar beer saloon on I Saturday night.—Lippincott's Maga- I zinc. Fog In Photography. One serious and at tho same time un- j ■ susp< cted source of fog in photography is often duo to the fact that tho black- i ing has slightly worn off the lens : mount and there is a reflection which results in a loss of brilliancy in the j negative. Constant use and endless ] cleaning of the lens in time wear the ! blacking off, and this should be attend- | ed to and all metal parts kept well I blacked. Where lenses aro mounted in • aluminium still more earn is necessary | in this respect, as, wherever in such | cases the blacking wears off, white light I iustead of yellow light is reflected into [ the lens. Sometimes diaphragms of the iris ; pattern aro greatly at fault in this re spect. By reason of its construction the constant friction while being set, and thus become polished and reflective, for which reason some photographers avoid having iris diaphragms in their lenses, notwithstanding their convi nience. A careful examination of the apparatus will insure safety in this matter. Stops of the ordinary pattern become in time little better than bare metal, especially at tho edges <>f the aperture.
