If, however, free oscillation Is prevented, as by the nterposltion of a rock or by the sbelv- ng of the shore, the columns in the jeep water are not balanced by tho^e n the shallower, and thus they acquire 1 progressive motion and form "break- irs.” For this reason waves always ireak against the shore, whatever is be direction of the wind. The Influenoe of Flowers. Centuries ago great, elaborate books irere written about flowers, and the ¡lnds even then were many and some if the forms were marvelous.

I I 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.” I 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 ns thunder and the cry of birds.—F. lopklnson Smith. Th» Puppy’s Fault. An enthusiastic feminist Is enter- talning frievds by reading the lines which Sheridan Indited to the puppy with a canister tied to Its tall. Lord Erskine, it appears, had likened wives to that same canister, and, Lady Ers­ kine being justly annoyed by the re­ mark, Sheridan dashed off the follow­ ing impromptu: An Expansive Luxury. Richard Harding Davis, who knows Dutb America Intimately, told at a |ncheon at the Philadelphia club a butb American atory. "The Florida in Buenos Aires,” he feld. “Is very elegant and charming, bt In the past the young men were x> prone to accost the beautiful wom- > shopping and promenading there, fecordlngly a law was passed which ■posed a fine of $50 on any one who kould dare to accost or annoy in the Igbtest degree any lady In Buenos Ires " Btr. Davis paused. rSlnce the passage of that law," he [id solemnly, “the Florida has become kite safe, but when a beautiful wo- ■ n walks In It the young men hover nr her, murmuring in low and ardent kies. *1 wish I bad $50.* ’’ 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 In the bad action of the sun's rays upou balloons.—New York World. 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. Lord Erskine, at woman presuming to rail.

But when be got to a “Are escape," the gentleman thought it was high time for him to ••cape too. As he went the waiter went with him. saying.

Mrs. Washington*» Gown». General Washington wore at his In­ auguration a full suit of fine cloth, the handiwork of his own household. At a ball glvpn In New Jersey In honor of Mrs. Washington she wore a “sim­ ple russet gown” and white handker­ chief about her neck. On one occasion she gave the best proof of her success In domestic manufactures by the ex­ hibition of two of her dresses, which were composed of cotton, striped with •Ilk and entirely homemade. The »Ilk stripes in the fabric were woven from the ravellngs of brown silk stockings and old crimson chair covers.
