COURAGE OF NAPOLEON.
The Way It Carried Him From Aepern
Easling to Wagram.
Professor J. Holland Rose In "The
Personality of Napoleon" writes of Na
poleon's courage. He says that bis
personality "never stood forth bo
grandly as after a defeat" The most
serious blow In the middle part of bis
career was tbat dealt him by the Arch
duke Charles at Aspern-Essllng, north
east of Vienna. The Austrian were
nearly double him In strength. The
bridges over the Danube had been
broken do"-n In bis rear. His great
marshal, Lrnnes. had been killed, and.
In fuct be had suffered a terrible re
verse. All bis generals were for re
treat, but he withstood them, and Pro
fessor Rose ranks the next six weeks
"among the most glorious of his mili
tary career " He secured new troops,
deceived his enemy by false move
ments and finally defeated him at
Wagram.
But a decline came to such a pro
digious mnn. lie himself Bald at St
Helena that be had been spoiled by
success. It was natural that the vic
tor In fifty pitched battles and Innu
merable smaller engagements should
pome to believe himself omniscient
and Invincible. It was this hardening
of the mind that betrayed him Into the
Russian campaign, that caused him to
refuse all compromise in 1813 and 1814
and that led him to defeat by bis in
feriors, Wellington and Blucher, at
Waterloo, Just as Hannibal was final
ly beaten by his Inferior, Sclplo, at
Zntna.
Putting Tree to Bed.
An Interesting method of protecting
peach trees from frost during the win
ter has been practiced for several
years at the agricultural experiment
station at Canyon. Colo. Early In No
vember the earth Is removed from a
circle about four feet In diameter
round each tree, and water Is turned In
to saturate the soil. When the ground
has become soft the tree Is worked
back and forth to loosen the roots and
Is then pushed over on Its side. The
branches are brought together and
fastened with a cord, and burlap cov
ered with earth Is put over them.
Thus the trees lie snug until spring,
when the covering Is gradually loos
ened and finally removed, and they art
raised and propped up. Rocky Moun

ART OF WEIGHING.
Wonderful Scales That Are Not
Made of Anything.
THE LAW OF FALLING BODIES.
By This, Thanks to Newton and Lleb
niti and the Calculus of Differentials,
the Weight of 8un and Planet May
Be Accurately Determined.
The art of weighing has expanded
Into a comprehensive science and can
no longer be called a mere art Scales
are made of met il, but the set herein
described is not made of anything.
Scales are In hourly use tbat ' can
weigh a pencil mark whose length Is
one-fourth of an Inch; or a section of
a hair of equal length. The usual
practice in weighing runs from grains,
ounces, pounds up to tons, usually one
ton, and then up to fifty or more tons
In railroad weighing, costing hundreds
and thousands of dollars.
But humans would find It quite diffi
cult to make scales that would weigh
millions, billions, trillions, quadrillions,
qulntllllons. sextilllons, septilllons. oc
tillions and nohilllons of tons, or de
cllllons. An instrument able to weigh
a decilllon tons can now be purchased
for one cent a pencil. The scales are
not made of metal; Instead a set and
fixed specific speed Is the next to all
powerful engine used. But It Is far
more easy to run a locomotive or
steamship without knowing a single
law of these complex machines than
to even attempt to use the speed
scales without knowing every minute
detail of every velocity law of mov
ing bodies.
Let a street car start from rest and
keep moving faster and faster until Its
rate of motion Is, say, twenty miles
per hour at the end of one minute. If
the speed of the enr Increased uniform
ly during the entire mlnnte its aver
age speed is ten miles per hour, be
cause It started from rest and In
creased to twenty miles per hour. If
a body moves during one minute at
twenty miles per hour the distance
traversed will be speed multiplied by
time, or twenty miles multiplied by
one-slxtteth of an hour, or one-third
of a mile; but the average speed In
case of the car is ten miles per hour,
so that the dlstnnce moved over Is half
as great or one-sixth mile. This Is a
fundamental law of nature and is of
enormous Importance.
Law: For uniformly Increasing
speed, starting from rest, the velocity
Increases with the time, but the dis
tance traversed is that moved over by
the moving body with Its average
speed, or one-half.
If measuring the distance fallen'
through by a body let fall at the rig
Idly exact beginning of one second of
time to the rigidly exact end thereof Is
dlUIcult, whnt shall be said of finding
how fast it in falling nt the end of the
second. Go try; work from the ages of
twenty to sixty years, dally and you
will fall. The fnct Is, the time required
to find the mathematically exact spe
cific speed of a falling body In still air
was almost that required to measure
the distance of the nearest star, about
120 years.
Then Atwood Invented his machine,
and this finally came to some near ap
proach to accuracy. But this Instru
ment of precision fell far short of the
electrical chronographle apparatus.
When all of this very complex mechpt
Ism Is In perfect order It releases the
ball at the exact beginning of a sec
ond and records the absolute time on
the cylinder of a chronograph electric
ally and repeats the process at the ab
solute end of the second so far as hu
man bands nre able to do rlrldly accu
rate work.
The moment that those supermen,
Npwton and Llebnltz. discovered that
mighty power, beside which all else
human pales Into Insignificance the
stupendous calculus or differentials -every
mnthemntlclan saw immediately
that one of nnture's most magnificent
laws was found lu falling bodies. And
then began the relentless and arduous
self Imposed work of more than a hun
dred years to find the set specific speed
acquired by a falling body at the In
stantaneous and absolutely exact end
of the first exactly measured second of
time since man appeared.
The result Is one grnnd, nil potent,
all pnwprful mean or average of a cen
tury of world wide measures, the dia
mond of diamonds, the most valuable
number in possession of man, the as
tronomical hnlnnce:
Rlsteen fnd one-tenth feet fnllen to
end of flip first second: 32.2 feet per
second speed nt end of first second.
That Is. a body M fall will, under
the action of the earth's attraction of
gravitation, fall 1(1.1 feet during the
first absolute second of time, and at
the absolute end of the second will be
In motion wltb a velocity of 32.2 feet
per second These numbers constitute
the most accurate and all powerful
scales In existence. Edgar Lucien Lar
kin in New York American.
FOOD SUPERSTITIONS. '
Dyak Warriors Won't Eat Deer For
Fear of Beoomlng Timid,
tin rural ISermany one still meets
with a superstition that he who eats
during a thunderstorm will be struck
by lightning. Abstaining from roou
during an eclipse Is common among
savages; also a belief that in eating the
flesh of any animal one absorbs tnai
animal's characteristics. Thus an In
dian tribe highly prizes tigers' flesh as
food for men. but forbids women to
eat it lest it make them too aggressive.
In the Kongo women are forbidden
to eat birds of prey on the same princi
ple, but are encouraged to eat frogs.
which the men on Ijo account ever
touch. In the Caroline islands bluck
blrds are a favorite dish wltb women,
but men must not eat them, because
if one did and afterward climbed 8 co
coa tree he would surely fall to the
ground and be killed.
Among the Dyaks warriors must not
eat venison because It would mane
them as timid as the deer. Fowls and
eggs are forbidden to women of a Ban
tu tribe because on eating either a
woman would certainly fly into the
brush and never again be seen. Again,
tbe flesh of many animals is forbidden
because tbe .animals themselves for
example, swine are disagreeable to
the eye or have untidy habits. Ex

BAD FOR PRONUNCIATION.
8ilent Reading and Negleot of Con
versation Ar Harmful.
Perhaps the most poteut of Influ
ences toward diverse pronunciation,
especially difference In accent Is tbe
fact that we seldom or never hear In
conversation a vast number of words
which nevertheless constitute an im
portant and indispensable part of our
vocabulary.
"By silent reading and neglect of
conversation language Itself," declares
Richard Grant White, "Is coming Into
disuse." The result of this practice
is not only that we are always men
tally registering pronunciations pecul
iar to ourselves, which we have no
means of ascertaining to be uncommon
or ridiculous, but also tbat the natural
tendencles'of our language, unrestrain
ed by the conservative force which oc
casional use In conversation might ex
ert, rapidly foster new pronunciations
and produce a diversity of pronuncia
tion even among the most careful
speakers.
All these Influences obviously sup
plement each other In resisting Uny
trend toward uniform pronunciation
and facilitate the progress of the tend
encies of speech peculiar to our Eng
lish tongue. Robert J. Menner In At
lantic Monthly.
Turkish Postage Stampe.
Every one who'hne collected stamps
must have noticed the absence of sov
ereigns' heads from those of Turkey.
That this Is so Is due to the fact that
Mohammedans think s representation
of the human face or figure unlawful.
Therefore Turkish stamps carry the
crescent which the Turks borrowed
from the Byzantines after the fall of
Constantinople. They also used a com
plicated, arbitrary sign, supposed to be
the signature of the sultan.

A Fleet Street Story.
Henry Arthur Broome, in "The Log
of a Rolling Stone." says that In 1871
he was engaged In wood engraving for
Punch when one day, at tbe end of tbe
week, short of money, be stood gazing
longingly at the cherries on a coster
monger's barrow which stood abreast
of tbe offices of tbe London Telegraph.
His gaze arrested the attention' of a
gentleman whom be bad often seen
Ibsre before, though not at midday.
Then a kindly deed was done. Tbe
gentleman, averting his gaze from me
a moment purchased two pnper bags
of this fruit Then, placing one of
them In the pocket of bis capaclouB

a word offered tbe other one to me,
which I gratefully accepted, tie tbsn

Tbe corporation refused. Tbe king
insisted. "But sire, yon cannot com

exclaimed James, "but I'll ruin yon
and the city forever. I'll remove my
courts of law, my court Itself and my
parliament to Winchester or to Oxford
and make a desert of Westtnlustur.
and then think what will become of

. Will Deny Every Charge.
Sulzer's counsel were preparing to
day a brief denying every charge made
against the governor. '
In addition to this donial thoy will
sot up the contention that the constitu
tion does not, as the prosecution main
tains, recognize the principle that a
personal, as distinguished from an offi
cial, offense may disqualify an offend
er from holding office.
The following paragraph in the im
peachment brief will be quoted in sup
port of the defense's claim that malice
actuated the impeachment proceedings:
Shows Malice.
"The world hates a liar but it is not
for lying that William Sulzer's convic
tion is asked. He is charged with fil
ing a false certificate of his campaign
contributions, and, by so doing, with
committing a crime. It was contem
plated in the constitution that a crimin
al, holding office, should first be im
peached, thereby stripping him of offi
cial influence and power to acquit him
self by removing the district attorney
who prosecuted him, the judge who sen
tenced him and finally by pardoning
himself."
Governor Salzor was again absent
from the sonato chambor during the im
peachment proceedings today. His law
yers denied that he has any intention
of resigning before the evidence is in.
