The Influenoe of Flowers.
Centuries ago great, elaborate books

Trying a Jok».
Some years ago in a North CaroltM
?ourt, Judge Shipp presiding, th« trial
>f a cause had been protracted till near
midnight. The jury were tired and
sleepy und showed flagging attention.
Willie Murchison, who was addressing
the jury, thought to arouse them, so be
said, "Gentlemen, I will toil you an
anecdote." Instantly th» judge, the
jury and the few spectators pricked
up their ears and were all attention, as
Murchison was admirable In that line,
I ad a fund of Mpcdotes and no one
lould tell them Better. But he soon
proceeded to tell one of the dullest,
prosiest and most pointless jokes pos-
sible. Everybody looked disappointed.
The Judge, leaning over, said in an un
mistakable tone of disappointment,
"Mr. Murchison, I don’t see the point
of that joke." "Nor I either.” replied
the witty counsel. “But your honor
told It to me on our way down here,
and as I thought the lack of apprecia
tion must be due to my obtuseness I
concluded to give the Joke a trial by
Jury.”

Remarkable Feats of Strength.
Louis de Bouffiers, who lived in the
sixteenth century, could break a bar
of Iron with his hands. The strong
est man could not take from him a ball
which he held between his thumb and
first finger. While standing up, with
no support whatever, four strong sol
diers could not move him. He remain
ed as firm as a rock. Sometimes he
amused himself by taking on his shoul
ders his own horse, fully harnessed,
and with that heavy load he prome
naded the public square, to the great
delight of the Inhabitants. At about
the same time there lived a Spaniard
named Hedro, who could break the
strongest handcuffs that could be put
around his wrists. He folded his arms
on his chest, and ten men pulling in
different directions with ropes could
not unfold them. Augustus IL, elector
of Saxony, was a man of great strength.
He' could carry a man In his open
hand.
Rock Salt Discovered by Accident
The great rock salt deposits of Louis
iana were discovered by accident In
i
May. 18(12. Salt was very scarce at
that time, and the proprietor of the
Island's salt works. John Marsh Avery,
determined to profit by it. With this
end In view he commenced to deepen
bls wells. One negro workman, after
going down sixteen feet, came to Mr.
I Avery with the news that he had
struck a sunken log. and could pro
ceed no further. Mr. Avery Investigat
ed and found, not a log, but the great
rock salt deposit that has made Louis
iana famous throughout the country.
The discovery did not come altogether
as a surprise, as Thomnssy had pre
dieted that a great rock salt deposit
would one day be discovered In each of
the five Gulf islands, and perhaps in
other portions of the state. Since the
close of the war. rock salt has been
an important contributing factor in the
mineral wealth of the state.—National
Magazine.
No Parallels In Nature.
The wise men say there are no paral-
>ls In nature, that no one thing In the
ride universe exactly mates and
latches any other one thing, that each
loud has differed from every other
loud form In any hour of the day and
igbt or day or yesterday, and so on
ack through the forgotten centuries,
nd no two leaves in form, color or
exture lift the same faces to the sun
n any day of the millions of yean;
tat no wave on any besch curves and
ills as any wave has curved and fal-
hi before, not since this planet cooled.
,nd so It is with the whirls and the
rystals of driving snow, with the sand
ud splash of rain and so, too, with the
Igbt of birds, the dash and tumble of
le restless brook and the roar of law

Flying Powers of Birds.
The rate at which some birds can
migrate under favorable conditions is
extraordinary, and as one listens to
their plaintive cries coming from the
darkness overhead It Is difficult to re
alize that In a few hours these same
birds may be within the arctic circle
and a little later may be even crossing
the pole Itself. • • • Less Is known
of the actual dates of the departure
of the migratory birds In autumn than
of those of their arrival earlier In the
year, and this for obvious reasons.
The way In which our most charming
songsters silently skulk out of the
country In the autumn Is very differ
ent from that In which they make
their triumphal entry In the spring,
when every wood and copse resounds
with their melodies.—Windsor Maga-
sine.

Blue Balloons.
In case you ever feel tempted to tray
1 ballooi, don't buy a blue one. Red
ones are the best. There is a scientific
reason why.
According to the re
searches of M. Reynaud. caoutchouc Is
strongly attracted by the ultra violet
rays from the mercury vapor lamp
with a ¿quarts tube, which is a power
ful source of such rays. This fact has
a practical bearing In connection with
balloon envelopes, which are treated
with caoutchouc. Aeronauts are fa
miliar with the discovery that the en
velopes suffer during ascensions, and
this is explained by the greater effect
of ultra violet rays at high altitudes.
Experiment had already led to using
yellow coloring matter on the envel
opes, and red balloons are sometimes
seen, but never blue or violet. M.
1 Reynaud considers that red is the best
color to use. as It not only absorbs the
ultra violet rays, but also the blue
rays, and these last are likely to share

Th» Wagon Wh»»l Paradox.
A very interesting paradox is tbe one
concerning an ordinary wagon wheel,
which is solid and rigid, yet. when fas
tened on Its axle on a wagon, when tbe
wagon moves pay of the circumfer
ence of the wheel which is in contact
with tbe ground is for an instant at
absolute rest, while tbe point directly
perpendicular to it .is flying along at a
high rate of speed. The two points
horizontal with tbe center of the wheel
are traveling pretty fast, but only half
i aa fast as tbe topmost point, aud as
the up going horizontal point Increases
In speed the down going one slows up
until It is at rest for a moment when
in contact with tbe ground. Yet tbe
i wheel is one solid piece and there are
I only two points going at tbe same rate
of speed at tbe same time. Yet If the
wheel Is taken off tbe axle and rolled
«own an incline every point of tbe cir
cumference moves at the same rate of
■peed.
