I There Is a comet that comes witbin
dgbt of the earth every 673 years. Its
I t«.l is millions of miles in thickness
I ihd many more millions of miles in
I length. It was first seen, so far as
I history records, 1.7'il) years before the
I birth of Christ, in a few w eeks it
[faded from the sky, only to return in
I IBM and 619 B. C. The year that
I Julius Caesar died—14 B. C.—it came
I »gain, returning in 531 and 1107 A. D.
The last time It was seen was in 1681,
I when Sir Isaac Newton beheld it and
discovered that comets are kept in
I their orbits by the sun, the same as
the earth aud the other planets.
Over two and a quarter centuries
have now passed since the comet dls-
|appeared. Even If it has been travel
ling no more rapidly than tbe earth
I goes around tbe sun its enormous bulk
liras been shooting through space at
[rhe rate of about 1.500,000 miles a day.
Yet In tbe year 2256 this same old
comet that was already a well known
visitor when It looked down upon the
deathbed of Julias Caesar will again
come witbin sight of those human be
ings, yet unborn, who will then In
habit tbe earth.
Talk about a railroad train going
| aalfway across a continent In three
days and reaching its destination on
time! What ts such a performance as
compared with that of a comet that
makes a trip of 310,000,000,000 miles
in 575 years aod keeps so closely to its
schedule that It always bursts from
tbe darkness at tbe moment when tbe
istronomers expect it? — New York

Consumers of gas are usually so un
familiar with tbe operation of a gas

Gas D>gic, in connection with the

which tbe gas is drawn when the gas
I is lighted.
1 A Bock of 40.000 sheep is required
j each year to repair the gas meters used
iu Mauhattau and Bronx boroughs,
i New York city. These skins cost about
$10.000 a year. To repair the meters
i used throughout the United States tn a
j single year about 300,000 sheep are re-
; quired. Great care has to be taken in
i tbe selection of perfect skins before
they are put into use.
Each [>elt, before it is accepted, is ex-
aminetl iu a dark closet by a man who
[Misses it over a table in which there
is a bole about four inches square,
through which a light is thrown up

determined whether or not the sheep
whose skin Is being examined has ever
had experience iu bramble bushes
Thin places, made by [tricking of tbe
brambles or by (he skin having been
injured in the dressing process, render
it unfit for use iu a meter.

I The lace of Venice has been cele-
Ibrated for many centuries. It was
I made originally by nuns within the
I walls of convents for ecclesiastical
Igarments. Then, with tbe fall of the
I Venetian republic, the convents were
I dosed and tbe lace industry ceased to
exist for an entire century. In 1370 tbe
Princess Margherita, afterward queen
I of Italy, took measures to revive it.
»specially as a means of providing em
ployment for Venetian women. At
present there are several schools sub
sidized by the government In which the
art Is taught.
The pupils are women of all ages.
Each sits on a low stool and holds a
plump square cushion in her lap. On
this cushion is pinned a strip of paper
marked with tbe pattern to be follow
ed, and into this pattern the nimble
Angered worker sticks glass headed
pins, about which she twists her
threads.
From twenty to fifty shuttles depend
from all sides of tbe cushion, and these
are thrown across nnd back with tho
rapidity of a typist handling tbe keys
of her machine.
The process Is so simple that It looks
like play, but the lace produced repre
sents thousands of dollars. The simple
laces grow rapidly under the dexterous
fingers of the women, but the exquisite
rose point and other similar sorts are
evolved much more slowly.—Harper's
Weekly.

LIGHTING WITH GAS.
In England at One Time People Were
Hanged For Having Them.
People have not always been allowed
the pleasure of having as many names
as they wish, indeed, 400 years ago
not even a middle name was allowed
in England. It was illegal. Tbe old
English law was definite aud admitted
of no infraction of its ruling.
The only exception made to tbl3 iron
clad regulation was in the case of per-
sons of royal rank, If they really
wished It they could boast n middie
name, but woe to tbe person of ordi-
nary rank who was sufficiently unwise
or obstinate to insist on having more
than two appellations.
For tbe first offense be would very
likely be tied to a whipping post and
severely lashed. For a second offense
he would endure some more lasting
punishment, perhaps the removal of
his thumbs or bis ears. Anti if be still
persisted in bis stubborness be would
be hanged

And the Young Scotsman Who Wore a
Wooden Hat.
One morulug a good many years ago
a young Scotsman was shown into
the office of a great engineer at Bir-
mingham. 'I'be young man was wear-
ing a hat of extraordinary shape, aud
in his nervousness at meeting tbe man
of fame he let tbe hat slip. It fell
with a hollow thud upon the floor. The
engineer looked with astouishment at
tne tiling. The owner picked It up
and apologized for the noise it had
caused It was of wood, he explained.
He had made it himself, turning it
with his father's lathe.
The engineer thought that there
must be something in a man who could
think out and make such a thing as
this He forthwith engaged him, kept
an eye upon him and gave him work
of responsibility. The engineer was
Boulton; the new man, William Mur
dock.
The man with the wooden bat justi
fied the judgment of the man who em
ployed him. After awhile he was sent
away to Cornwall, and when he re
turned it was to light up his master's
premises with gas. The mind which
first practically applied the coal gas to
tbe purpose of lighting lived inside
that wooden hat.—St. James' Gazette.

Winslow Homer was a great painter
n lio bad tbe unusual good fortune to
have his merit appreciated early in
life. But no oue ever presumed less
on a wide reputation. Affectation was
a weakness from which his sense of
humor saved him.
Iu bls biography by Mr. W. 11
Downs is printed the story of a New
York gentleman of wealth aud artistic
tastes who made the journey to Scar-
boro. Me., where Homer had his studio,
to make the artist’s acquaintance.
On his arrival be found tbe studio
door locked. The owner was nowhere
to be seen. He wandered about tbe
cliffs for awhile until be met a man
in a rough old suit of clothes, rubber
boots and a battered hat, who carried
a fishpole. He accosted tbe fisherman
thus:
“Say, my man, if you can tell me
where I can find Winslow Homer 1
have a quarter for you.”
"Where's your quarter?" said tbe
fisherman.
He banded it over aud was astound
ed to hear the quizzical Yankee fisher
man say. "I am Winslow Homer.”
The sequel of this unusual introduc
tion was that Homer took his new ac
quaintance back to tbe studio, enter
tained him and before be left sold him

of business, he was founder and first
president of the chamber of shipping
of the Uuited Kingdom
But in tho
bouse he proved a veritable “clank.”
One of his habits was to stalk in
ghostly fashion from behind the chair,
suddenly to utter some unexpe te l and
irrelevant remark tn a stage whisper
into Speaker Peel's ear and then van
ish. Poor Mr. Peel stood It patiently
for awhile. At last however, it got
on his nerves. Old parliamentary
hands remember the sensation that
was caused one night when tbe speak
er was obliged to appeal to the house
for "protection” against these persist
ent annoyances. Soon afterward Mr.
Parmer-Atkinson withdrew from pub
lic life on grounds of ill health, and
Westminster saw him no more.—Lou
