LIGHT WITHOUT HEAT
i
The Puzzle of the Tiny Firefly
and the Mighty Comet.
EACH HOLDS . THE SECRET,
1
__
!
It Is a Mystery to Science, and the Man
Who Is Able to Penetrate That Mys
tery Will Be In a Position to Revo
lutionize This Planet of Ours.
This is not an Aesop fable, although
It has a moral.
There are two things in whose pres¬
ence science stands wondering and
abashed—the little glowworm (or the '
J*t tinier firefly) and the mighty comet
arching the sky with its glimmering
train. Each of them holds the same
secret-how to make light without
heat - Tbe man who gets that secret
will revolutionize the planet.
The late president of the
tronomieal Society of Great Britain
referred to the value of the comet’s
secret in his retiring address. Ha
thought that we do not sufficiently ap*
preciate the wondrous spectacle of a
comet’s tail. It shows us hundreds of
billions of cubic miles of space simul¬
taneously glowing with luminosity
whose origin is a mystery.
It is a gigantic experiment in a
branch of physics of which we as yet
know very Tittle. The comet is im¬
mersed iu what we may weH regard
as a vacuum; at least it is a far more
perfect vacuum than we can produce.
Yet the persistent glow of the comet’s
tall shows that there is no real vacuum
there ’ bu ? a vast Quantity of extreme
>- v attenuated matter which no doubt
Is the cause of tbe luminosity.
Wc °ught, Professor Newall thinks.
t0 aTvake to the importance of this
hint. “Who knows.” he says, “wheth
e* if we could discover a method , of
disrupting gases and vapors in ultra
vacuous spaces artificially maintained
on earth, we should not have a meth¬
od of artificial illumination as econom¬
ical as that of the glowworm and as
brilliant as is needed for our nocturnal
llfe.V’
This thing may really be within our
reach, although at the present time
catuiftt even suggest to ourselves
exactly how I, is to be attained. Bat
the tendency of recent investigation is

terrify us, as the dreamer is terrified
by the whirring belts and spinning
wheels of bis vision, seeming to grasp
at his life.
If the scientific investigator needs
to establish a raison d’etre iu the eyes
of the public, which cannot follow
elthor his processes or his results, he
has only to point to the fact that the
g»*atest practical discoveries ef mod¬
ern times have come out of the labora¬
tories from things as Incomprehensible
Iu the ^initiated as so much magic. It
is a well known fact that the growing
might of Germany springs from her
devotion to “pure research.”
Deferring again to the pregnant hint
of the comet, Frofessor Newall is
clearly right in saying, “Here is a
theme that should stir up the most
commercial mind in the support of as¬
tronomy.”—Garrett T. Servtes in New
York American.
On the Cars of New York.
The surface ears of New York carry
on each line as different a nationality
as if each belonged to a different coun¬
try. Ou the Eighth avenue line there
ere mostly colored people; on the Sixth
avenue they are largely Americans, if
there are any Americans in Now York;
on the Broadway cars there are styl¬
ishly dressed New Yorkers; on the

predominate, on the Second avenue
Jewish, Italian, Hungarian, Swedish
and German, while on the surface cars
that run along Avenue A you see

Old Wheel of Fortune.
In the village church of Comfort,
a*a„r Pont-Oroix, in western Brittany.
Is a very good specimen of the now
rare “wheel of fortune.” It is made of
wood, with a row of bells on its outer
rim and pivoted between a couple of
rough beams, altogether very primitive
workmanship. By means of a cord at¬
tached to a crank the wheels can b»
made to revolve aud set all bells
a-j&ngling. I have often heard that
the peasants believe that it has mi
raculous power of healing when run;
over the head of a sufferer who ha
placed a sou in the box to which tht
ro P e is padlocked. I received remark
able confirmation of this belief, foi
while making a photograph a well t<
do sailor's wife and her husband came
into the church and looked round. Tb.
woman asked me if I thought there
could be any truth iu this belief, as
her child was very backward in learn
ing to talk. Her nurse, who came from
those ports, had advised her to bring
the baby and ring the bells of Oomfor
over his head, when he would be sure
to talk. As she was passing she had
looked in to see if it was worth trying!
—London Chronicle.
The Smooth Way.
In the last generation Tyler Cobb.
Esq., was a well known citteen of
North Bridgewater, now Brockton
Mass. He was famous throughout
Plymouth county for his witty retorts
and dry humor.
Never having taken a sea trip, Mr
Cobb one day conceived the idea of
making a voyage to New York. Ac¬
cordingly he sailed from Boston In a
small schooner. The first day out a
storm was encountered and Mr. Cobb
became violently sick, but after sev¬
eral Lours he mustered up courage and
strength to look out upon the troubled
waters.
As he looked from the side of the
little ship up the trough of the sea it
seemed very smooth to him. The cap¬
tain’s cutting of the waves was sense¬
less, he told himself. But as this mad
steering continued the unhappy pas
senger finally crawled out on hands
and knees t-o where the captain stood
at the wheel aud, raising bis voice
above the din of waves and wind
6houted:
“Man, man, keep iu the ruts, keep in
the ruts!”
Worked It Off.
Just w hat may happen to a man w T bo
isn’t strictly honest was illustrated on
a street Oar a few days ago. A man
handed the conductor a dollar and
asked for a strip of tickets. He re¬
ceived his five tickets, and then the
conductor fumbled around for change
and managed to make a “mistake."
He handed the man two half dollars
instead of 75 cents. Tire man put
away the money without saying a
word and in a couple of minutes work¬
ed his way to the front of the car and
got off. “Say, conductor,” said an in¬
terested observer, “did you know you
didn’t give that man the right
change?’ The conductor smiled com¬
placently. “That’s all right,” he said.
“If he’d been honest and returned that
had half dollar I’d have given him a
good quarter for it. I’ve been trying
to get rid of that piece of money for a
week. I guess be deserved to get
gtung.”— Philadelphia Record.
Pie With Knives.
George Washington, John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson. James Madison and
James Monroe, the first five presi¬
dents, each ate pie with his knife. It
was not until John Quincy Adams en¬
tered the White House that the substi¬
tution of the fork for the knife seems
to hove occurred to any citizen of
America. "lie contracted the habit
while in France,” said Mrs. Adams ln
an apologetic tone to some of her
guests, “and he finds it difficult to
break himself of it since we returned
home.” So the first great general of
the American army, the sturdy patriot
of Massachusetts, the author of the
Declaration of Independence, the chief
advocate of the federal constitution
and the originator of the Monree doc¬
trine, all ate pie with the knife.—Utica
Observer.
A Doctor’s Disadvantage.
“In one way,” said a collector, “it is
easier to get money from a doctor than
anybody else who is slow pay. It is
more difficult for him to swear that he
hasn’t been able to make any collec¬
tions himself since tbe first of the year.
A doctor’s reception room is ©pen to all
possible patients. A collector with a
grain of ingenuity can find a way to
worm out of tbe men ou tbe waiting
list some Information as to the terms
of payment. Afier an interview with
three or four persons who have paid
spot cash for treatment and who have
told the collector they paid it takes a
mighty nerve on the part of the doctor
to insist that he hasn’t a dollar to bis
name.”—New York Times.
Lots of Places.
“What’s the matter?’ asked the po
fieeman of the tramp. "Haven’t you
any place to go?”
“Any place ter go!” was the con
temptuous reply. '’I’ve got the whole
United States before me. I've got so
many places ter go dat it’s worryin’
me dizzy mnkin’ up m* mind wkieb
way ter start.”
Misdirected Charitv.
She—Papa has given $50,^00 to es¬
tablish a home for old men. Wasn’t
that awfully good of him? Ile-Yes.
But it would have been a whole lot
i»etter if he'd given half that sum to
establish a home for you and a certain
young man I could name.—Exchange.
A Permanent Arrangemenf.
Conductor—What! A half ticket for
each of those girls? Passenger—Yes,
sir. Oondu< tor—One of them looks to
be fifteen and tli° other at least thir
teen. Passenper—That's right; but,

Hie Bad Handwriting.
Dean Farrar tn his “Reminiscences"
aajrs that the first proofs of Dean
Stanley’s "Sinai and Palestine" in¬
formed the reader that from the mon¬
astery of Sinai was visible “the horn
of the burning beast!” This was a
fearfully apocalyptic nightmare of the
printer’s devil for "the horizon of the
burning bush.” The original proof
sheets also stated that on turning the
shoulder of Mouut Olivet iu the walk
from Bethany “there suddenly burst
upon the spectator a magnificent view
of—Jones!” In this startling sentence
“Jones” was a transmogrification of
“Jerus,” the dean’s abbreviated way
of writing “Jerusalem.” When the
dean answered an invitation to dinner
his hostess has beeD known to write
back and inquire whether his note was
an acceptance or a refusal, and when
he most kiudly replied to the question
of some workingman the reclpkmt of
his letter thanked him. but ventured
to request that the tenor of the answer
might be written out by some one else,
as he was “net familiar with the hand¬
writing of the aristocracy."
Just His Luck.
"WilUnnB. Freddie informs mo that
his teacher has decided to advance him
from the sixth to the seventh grade
owing to his fine deportment and his
praiseworthy attention to his studies.”
“Pshaw! Tiiat’s just my luck!”
“Why, what makes yon say that?”
“I had it all figured out that I was
going to be about $10 ahead at the end
of Ibis month. Now it will be neces¬
sary to buy a new set of sebuoit*»k6.”
—Chicago Record-Herald.
A Marvelous Cure.
It is related that owe a German
American, growing mole and more af¬
flicted with extreme nervousness, got j
the impression that he was forgetting !
English. The impression got so strong
that he refused to talk anything but
German. Then he became Convinced
that he was forgetting that, closed up
like an oyster and was led away to a
sanitarium, where he spent his days
;D complete silence,
1 for A him course In of which treatment baths was played pres<ril*d an im j
portant part. Every morning the dumb
German American was thrown bodily |
into a tub filled with very hot water, i
allowed to remain there awhile and !
then hauled out aud set to ooo! on the j
piazza.
But once the sanitarium acquired a
new attendant who got his signals;
