2, 1013 FROZE A SOAP BUBBLE A MEETING WITH TURNER. A Hero Who Wai Buried Wrapped In Ilia Flag by the Enemy. During the Austro-i’riisxlnu war a body of Prussian soldiers came upon a ditch half full of wounded and dying Austrians. Among those who were badly wounded was a you» g officer. They found him lying on bls Imck in the wet ditch. Touched with pity for him, some of the Prussians went to him and wished to remove him so that he might be attended to by the sur geon. But he besought them to leave him alone, telling them that lie felt quite comfortable. Soon after this be died. Then when they lifted bis body they found why he bail begged theta to leave him alone. He had been the standard bearer for his regiment. In the terrible battle of the day the flag bad been torn Into tatters, and when he was sore wounded so that he soon must die his soldier spirit was still strong within him, and rather than let the ‘’bit of rag” fall into the enemy's hand he folded it up and placed it beneath him so that none might see it. This was why be would not let himself be moved by the kind ly Prussian soldiers. He would die protecting the precious flag. His foes were so touched by bls no ble action that they would not take away the trophy, but wrapped it around him that it might be buried with him. Than Broke It In Piece* and Floated Them on Liquid Air. A frozen soap bubble brokeu lu two nud floating like un iridescent. trans parent eggshell on the surface of a vessel of liquid air wus one of the in ireels exhibited by Professor Dewar I» a lecture before the Royal Institute of Great Britain. The lecture was U|«>n the subject of atmosphere and the curious effect* of intense cold, the liquid ulr uud soap nubble.being adjuncts Introduced to fa cilitate some explanations. A few s|s>onfuls of liquid air were ooured into a vessel, and the intense cold caliseli by eva|M>ratlon immediate ly brought on a minatore snowstorm In the atmosphere directly altove the vessel. A soap bubble was then placet! In the freezing stratum. Almost In stantly there was a change In the color of the transparent globe, the bubble becoming much darker; the move ments of the rainbows film grew Blow er; It contraeteli somewhat in size, aud a little later it froze. A slight but dexterous movement of the rod upon which the bubble was suspended broke the latter into two pieces, which fell upon the liquid air aud there floated for an hour, gradual ly accumulating a tiny snowdrift from the almost Imperceptible precipitation constantly going on in the freezing atmosphere alsjve. LANDS OF FIRE. STEVENSON’S GRAVE. Yst Iceland and Tierra del Fuego Are Glacier Bound Regions. It is rather singular that both of the “lands of Are" are near the cold extremities of the globe—Iceland, far to the northward, and Tierra del Fuego, remotely south. Iceland, to the eye, seems at first glance to be better named by the cold appellation. Its glacial Helds are not only numerous, but in some cases these and the connected snow stretches are hundreds of square miles in extent. But only a little travel Into the in terior, say to the site of the ancient Icelandic parliament at Tblugvallavatn, discloses miles upon miles of such deso lation as Is possible only in a "land of Are.” It is a very island of volcanoes, and, while they have been exceedingly well behaved for a hundred years or so, the great hot springs In the neigh borhood of Reykjavik, the capital, In dicate that the subterranean beat, if passive, is still very much alive. Huge glaciers also mark the “cold land of Are" at the other end of the earth. Thus each of the two parts of the universe is properly named, wheth er the name be warm or cold.—New York Press. Its Romantic Site, In Samoa, Atop th* Forest Clad Vaile. No English novelist rests in a more eccentric s|«>t than that chosen by Rol-ert Louis Stevenson, who is buried on lhe summit of the forest clad Vallu. In the island of Samoa, that genial s|s>t lu the south Pacific that the gift ed writer loved so well. The day after his death at Vnlllma. lu 1S!M. his remains were carried to th“ top of thia precipitous and pic turesque peak by sixty sturdy Sa moans. who had loved and now monru ed their dead chief. Tusltula. A party of forty had previously cut a pathway through the thick, tangled wood with knives and axes, while an other party had prepared the grave. With infinite care and trouble they Lire him shoulder high over the rough ground to his last long home, and there, under the starry sky. they left him to sleep forever, with the Pacific at Ills feet. On either side of Ills tombstone Is a bronze plate.

"Bless my heart!" ejaculated tbe print seller In a changed tone. "Is It Isisslble you are the great Turner?" Then his temper rose again. "Well, sir." he added. "I have long desired to see you. and now that I have seen you I ho[ie I shall never see you again, for a more disagreeable |ierson 1 have sel dom met.” SAVED THE COLORS. How Frostbit* Com««, The first effect of cold on the skin Is to contract the tiny vessels that connect arteries and veins. Arteries are ves sels that take blood from the heart. Veins are those that bring blood back to the heart, and the connecting ves sels are called capillaries. While these little vessels are contracting the skin itself becomes tenser. In a few mo ments or minutes the effects change. The tiny nerves whose stimulation ca'sed contraction of the capillaries are more or less paralyzed, and the ves sels dilate so the skin gets red. Soon the veins are dilated, and the skin be comes bluish. Then the nutrient fluid in the skin (the lymph) is coagulated, end the stretched skin ruptures or “chaps." If the colu Is more severe Its action Is deeper, and the blood itself may be coagulated. This is frostbite. Oppressive Politenee*. M. Ernest Lavisse has turned aside from bis historical labors to relate a bon mot by his friend Massenet. It was at a time when the musician was ebnnging apartments and the historian inquired the motive of the change. “I was too well known there,” Massenet replied. “Everybody was too oppres sively polite. Only the other day I bapiiened to buy a penny stamp in a tobacconist’s shop. 'Pray do not trouble to carry it,' said the tobacconist. ‘It will give us the greatest pleasure to send it round to you.' “—Westminster Gazette. Evolution of a Play.
