These are known as the Davy safety laiup. Tbe flume U entirely surrounded with very fine gauze wire, which per lulls enough air to enter to keep the lump alight, but is too fine for any flame to pass through 1L Tbe dangerous gases In the coal mine can enter tbe lamp and burn, but tbe flame cannot get out Before this invention tbe miners of ten worked in absolute darkness, as it would bare been madness to carry light into any coal mine, wbere whut is called Ore damp is common. Tbe safety lamp was Invented by Sir Humphry Davy, a famous Eng lish scientist, but tbe wonderful thing about the story of its invention is that no one could be found who would dare to carry it Into a coal mine to test It On Jon. 0, 1S10, John Hodgson, minister who lived near Newcastle, In tbe north of England, which is a great coal mining region, volunteered to go down into the Ilebburn coal pit with a lighted Davy lamp in bis band so as to settle for all time whether it was really a safety lamp or no. Ibe first inner who saw him ap proach was nearly beside himself with terror and screamed and prayed for whoever It was to put out tbe light before it was too late. But the mln- lster walked steadily on, confident in the truth of tbe scientific fact upon which the lamp was built, until he got close enough for the miner to recog nlze him. Every miner in tbe pit knew tbe par son, and their confidence in Dim and what be told them was greater than their faith in tbe tamp, much as they desired it But for tbe bravery of this Newcastle preacher it might have been a long time before tbe lamp came into use, if nt all. Exchange. THE AMERICAN FLAG. Its Star Spanglad Canton la Union, Not a Union Jack. Those who speak of tbe star spaa gled cauton on tbe American flag as "union Jack" do so erroneously. It is right y called the "union," but the term "Jack" Is applied correctly only to the similar canton on tbe British ensign, In which the crosses of St George, St Andrew and St Patrick are superior posed. The number of stars in tbe anion of our flag is regulated by tbe law passed April 4. 1818. wbkh provides: "That on tbe admission of every new state into tbe Union one star shall be added to tbe union of tbe flag and that such addition shall take effect on tbe 4th of July next succeeding such ad mission." Tbe Marine Journal says that tbe origin of the phrase union Jack U uu certain, but that "the weight of evl dence is to the effect that It was de rived from Jacques or Jacobus, tbe French and Latin names of tbe Stuart king, in whose reign tbe superimposed crosses of St George and St Andrew were placed In the canton of tbe Brit Ish flag to indicate the union of Eng land and Scotland. In that generally accepted view of tbe case tbe name appropriately belongs to that part of the British flag, but It Is a misnomer to apply It to the ronton of tbe Amerl can flag, with which 'Jacobus Rex' cer tainly had nothing to do unless sim ply to set the example of placing un Ion emblem on the ennton." Thsater Audiancaa. The tricks of theater audiences have been remarkably similar In all ages. Alclphron, who wrote of the luter At tic comedy, shows that tbe claque was known then and also "young men of the town" who took a malicious de light In hissing a play off the stage. Theophrastus. who died In 283 B. C, sketches among bis "Characters" the man of superior taste, whose pride It was to hiss when everybody else ap plauded and to clap when tbo rest were silent, and the annoying person who would bum or whistle an accom paniment to every tune that pleased Mm. And Aristotle himself refers to spectators who brought out provisions during the dull parts of the performance Margaret Wore a Board. Bearded women hnve boon very nn- merotis. 1 he most uoted of tbe num ber was the famous Margaret of Aus tria, appointed by Charles V. to be gov ernor of the Netherlands. She bad long, stiff black beard and, conceiving he idea that It added to tbe mojesty of her appearance, was very careful of It ami so combed and trained it as to make it seem much greater than It was.

Boston Transcript Qualities In the Game That Endear It to the Public There must be special qualities In a game that can take and keep such a bold on millions of bard beaded, healthy Americans from boys to ear nest old men. Wbit are these quali ties? Here Is an attempt to define them: First Efficiency. No other spec tacle shows tbe human being to such ; advantage on tbe side of efficiency. If 1 polo be mentioned to controvert this It certainly cannot compare in tbe next three advantages to be mentioned, and the inferiority of tbe circus the astute reader can figure out also from what follows: Second. Visibility. A person who understands the game sees almost ev ery play perfectly. He sees the deliv ery by tbe pitcher, tbe preparation and swing of tbe batter, tbe ball dashing away, the rush, grasp and recovery of the inflelder, the race of tbe runner down tbe line, the catch of tbe base man and Is ready to dispute with the umpire whether tbe ball arrived a tenth of a second before or a tenth of a second after tbe runner. Third. Sustained suspense. An Eng lish student of American affairs, en deavoring to make his countrymen un derstand tbe bold of tbe game, stated that if they would imagine tbe most Intense moment in tbe fifth set of a tennis match being played for the championship of tbe world they might get an Idea of tbe Intensity of Interest that pertains to a ball game at almost any time In any one of the nine In nings. Fourth. The democratic background. The Interest of watching the experts la Inseparable from tbe fact that almost every boy In tbe United States Is brought up to play the game Itself. One sometimes bears it said that watching the game Is less desirable than playing it, which Is creating an absurd dilemma, as tbe clerk In a great town, who may be able to spend two hours of healthy interest In the base ball park, could not possibly be Indulg ing in tbe game himself and also be cause watching tbe game makes one all tbe more eager to play it if be has the chance. Just as playing it makes him all tbe more eager to see bow It is played by the greatest experts in the world. Norman Hapgood In Metropolitan. No Military Naadad. Thomas McKean. chief Justice of Pennsylvania, was a man of gigantic stature and a fiery temper. A mob In Philadelphia defied the ef forts of the sheriff to disperse It ne so reported to Justice Mcb.ean, men sitting In full court "Have you read the riot act?" "Yes, your honor. It had no effect" McKean's eyes flashed dangerously. Have you ordered out the military?" "Tes. Shall I fire on them?" "No: 111 disperse them." McKean rose and rushed out of tbe court In his wig and gown, his face flushed with passion, Into tbo midst of the riotous mob. 'I am Thomas McKean, chief Jus tice, and I command you to dlsperseP' So saying, he seized two of the ring leaders, literally tucked them under his arms and returned to the court, while the crowd crept home, silent as frightened sheep. Green Bag. Dickens' List of Names. It Is not really surprising that tbe names of Dickens' characters, odd as they are, should be found In real life, for it was from life that many of them were taken. Some, as we know, were copied from tbe names over shop doors, etc. But this was not the novelist's ouly source of selection. Among bis papers John Forster found carefully drawn up lists of names, with tbe sources from which he obtained them, and tbe longest lists were those drawn from the "Privy Council Education Lists." Some of the names thus noted are too extravagant for anything but reality-Jolly Stick, BUI Marigold, George Muzzle. William Why, Robert Gospel, Robin Scrubbam, Sarah Gold sacks, Catherine Two, Sophia Dooms day, Rosetta Dust. Sally Gimblet London Chronicle. A Businets Victim. "Does you 'member dat dawg I used to have?" asked Mr. Erastus Pinkler. "Yes," replied Uncle Rasberry. "You means dat mixed dog?" He was kind o' mixed. Fie was what I calls a black an'-tan-dale ter rier. Well, sub, dat dawg aln' brought me nuffln' but bad luck. I sold Mm to man fob two dollahs, an' do two dol- luhs he slipped me wero counterfeit" "Whut you glneter do?" "Whut kin I do? If I shows Mm any way to prove de transaction was unle- gal he's glneter make me take de dawg back." Washington Star. Good Place to Stop. "Yes, before papn would consent to my marrying George bo insisted on looking up his past life." Mercy, that was risky!" But he didn't go very fur. lie stop ped Just as be found that George was the ouly nephew of three rich uncles. " Cleveland Flaln Dealer. Ci ay.
