PETER PINDAR’S RUSE.
SEARCHLIGHT RAYS.
It Enabled the Astute Author to Drive
a Good Bargain.
Some time about the beginning of the
nlueteertb century Peter Pindar (Dr.
John Wolcott) drove a good bargain
with the publishers. Robinson A
¡Walker. While negotiations were under
way the author developed an attack
of asthma, which was always at its
imvst distressing stage whenever the
publishers were present. He was only
fifty-vevsn then, but the publishers de
cided that their chances were good
and «creed to pay him a annuity of
¿250 instead of a lump sum for his
work
I Soon after the bond was signed the
■doctor went to Cornwall, where be re

London without any cough, which was
far from being a pleasing slgbt to the
persons who bad to pay bis annuity.

asked him how he did. "Much better,
thank you,” said Wv^>tt. "I have
taken the measure of my asthma: the

Strength and am his master.” “Oh!”
said Mr. Walker gravely, and turned

Th. Effect When th. Beam. Penetrsts
■ F»9gy Atmosphere.
Nearly everybody ia famjliar with
the beam of a searchlight and known
why the beam is visible, while light
Itself cannot be seen unless it strikes
the eye. its visibility being due to par
ticles tn the air which really do reflect
the light to the eye. On a foggy
night. If one will notice, the beam
seems to come abruptly to an end If
the light is pointed upward. It does
this Instead of gradually fading away
Into nothing, as it does pointed hori
zontally on a uniformly foggy night.
The thing is rather puzzling to one
first seeing it. bnt the reason ia not far
to seek. Where the end of the beam
seems to be there la the place the fog
ends, for the beam cannot be visible to
us unless there are small particles in
its path. This Is of great help to sail
ors In Judging of the state of the
weather, for they can tell exactly how
thick the frqg is, or. rather, how deep It
Is. They can also tell by throwing the
light horizontally whether the fog is
universal or occurring only in patches,
for if extending to a great distance the
beam gradually gets dimmer aud dim
mer. but If in patches the beam is
lighter in patches, and if it goes
through a place with no fog at all that
part of the beam Is black or invisible.
