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 Press. Consumers of gas are usually so un­ familiar with tbe operation of a gas meter. - mple as it is. that it will be surprising to many to learn that sheep­ skin | lays an important part in tbe meter's work it is used, according to Gas D>gic, in connection with the diaphragms, or tbe two bellows from 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 ward. By this means it can quickly be 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.

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.

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 a second offense he would endure some more lasting punishment, perhaps the removal of his thumbs or bis ears.

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. Leigh Hunt. Tills famous Englishman has two distinct claims to fame. Not only was he a brilliant poet, essayist and critic, but much that we know of Keats. Shelley, Lamb, Byron, Moore, Cole­ ridge. Dickens and Carlyle has been derived from the knowledge of these celebrities which Hunt gnve to the world Possessing a happy spirit and genuine scholarship. Leigh Hunt's writings sparkle with wit and clever­ ness, while Ills translations are among the choicest of their kind. His pecu­ niary difficulties undoubtedly prevent­ ed Hunt giving us his l>est at times, but after he was granted a pension amounting In all to £320 per annum ti e improved comfort and augmented leisure enabled him to make his mark on English literature with essays of remarkable power.—rearson’s Weekly.
