henceforth neither fairs nor markets be
kept in churchyards for tho honor of
tho church." Rdward III, "It is ac
corded that tho plea of non-claim of
lino which from henceforth shall bo
lovied shall not bo token for any bar in

This cooling action can bo felt by pour
ing a little ether or alcohol upon tho
hand. Tho liquid evaporates rapidly,
and tho loss of tho heat which it takes
tin cools tho hand very perceptibly. If
a bottlo containing water is kept wet
on tho ontsldo with ether, tho evapora
tion will chili tho water and eventually
freeze it.
This is essentially tho process by
which tho carafes frappecs of French
restaurants aro produced. Tho decan
ters filled with fresh water aro set in
shallow tanks containing brine, which
remains liquid balow tho temperaturo
at which frosh water freezes. In con
tact with theso tanks aro receivers,
which can bo kept charged with newly

por cools tho brine, and this in turn
takes heat from tho water in tho do

General E. F. Burton describes n
novel method of catching bears prac
ticed by tho native hunters of India.
Four or five sturdy men aro armed, two
with long spoars, cross barred on tho
handles closo to tho sharp, two edged
blades, and two or threo with ten foot
bamboos, of which tho ends aro smear
ed with bird lime.
Tims equipped, and leading several
powerful dogs, the hunters sally out an
hour or so beforo dawn, nnd pass along
the base of tho hills with the fresh
morning wind blowing up from tho
plains below.
If tho hunters havo luck it is not long
beforo tho iicrco dogs wind tho bear;
and though dogs of this species hunt
as silent as death, their straining on the
leash Informs their masters that the
8liaggy game is nigh.
The dogs aro slipped and disappear
in tho darkness, and soon tho roaring
and growling show that thoy havo
found tho game. Tho hunters run up
to the spot whero tho bear is fighting
with tho dogs.
Tho men with limed poles poke tho
bear in tho ribs and adroitly twist tho
ends in its loner hair, thus holdiner it
fast on either ilank, and tho spearmen
complete tho tragedy by repeated spear
thrusts. It is said that n party of ex
perienced men with good dogs nover
fail to secure tho bear in this way.

1VI11 tho Sun Hum Op?
Thousands of curious and ingenious
theories havo been brought forth to ac
count for tho fact that tho sun, al
though ho has whirled his burning disk
across tho heavens for untold ages, con
tinues to burn without being consumed
or ills bulk being lessened in tho least.
Some learned men affect to beliovo that
tho great orb is a monstrous ball of gas,
but even a great ball of gas would to
consumed to its utmost atom in the
courso of a fow thousand years. Others
pretend to beliovo that its fires are kept
up by tho remains of wrecked worlds
which are constantly falling into its
depths, but oven this seems far from
probable, not to say a purely absurd
conclusion.
In giving his opinion on the last opin
ion, ono of tho most eminent ostrono
merx of tho day lias figured that a
mountain rango consisting of 170 cubic
miles falling into tho sun would only
bo suiilcient to maintain tho present
neat lor a single second; a mass equal
to that of our earth would engender
only enough of heat to lost ninety-three
years, it these conclusions aro correct,
and wo have no means of proving them
falso, well may wo ask tho question.
