Nearly 25 pupils of the Eastern high school in Washington were sent home one day recently for asspearing In shirtwaists, and there was trouble In the school management in consequence.

If is Interesting to find a prominent French critic, Louis De Gramont, advocating the formal adoption of English as a universal language because of Its simple syntax. The recent discussion st Paris of the proposed new language Esperanto, an-artificial construction. has given a new Interest to the subject and caused the journals to note the rapid extension of English. It is apparent that the French cannot hope that their own speech will ever regain its former popularity among foreigner*, and statistics prove that unless the present tendency shall change the language of Shakespeare and Milton (with some Important modifleafaons) will pass Into tinlraraal use. It Is significant to recall that leas than a century ago English wss spoken by only » 000.000 people. Now It is the common speech of more than^our times that number.

As the drying wind most probably came from the egit or north, it is likely that the ark was drifted toward Asia Minor, and caught land on some kill in the region of the Euphrates. It cannot be supcioeed that it rested on either of the peaks now called Ararat, is Ararat was a country, not a mountain, and these peaks do not seem

suitable for the purpose. 7. “Sent forth." Tbo

Going forth and returning- It i* generally supposed that the raven flew off and w*« seen no more; it is evident, however, that she did return, but was not taken into the ark. 8. “He sent forth a dore.” He sent forth the dore three time*. The first time it speedily returned; the second time it returned bringing with it an olive leal, and the third time it went forth to return no more. The dove is an emblem of a soul, which, finding no rest or satisfaction in this sinful world, returns to Christ as to its ark; the carnal heart like the raven takes up with the world and feeds on the carrion it find* there.

The modern long-range rifle, it is aararted by a physician who has served in the army, will tend to deelop near-sighted soldiers. The train upon the eyes In trying to distinguish an object a good mile away is to great. According to the distinguished French anthropologists, Gabriel and and Adrien de Mortlllet. there was a junction between Europe and America by the Why of the British Isles, the Faroes. Iceland and Greenland In what is known as the Cbellan epoch, which la supposed to have ended * hundred and fifty or sixty thourand years ago. ! a recent meeting of naturalists at Chicago Mr. H. H. Donaldson described experiments with frogs, tending to show that those animals rapidly absorb water through the pores of the skin. He emphasized the fact that frogs never take water by the mouth. On being exposed for several hours to do - air. the frogs experimented with lost 14 percent of their weight, but this was nearly all regained within 24 hours, when they were placed in a dUb containing water only one centimeter In depth. It is a fact not generally known that ntarly all of the common lizards change color like tha chameleon, but the change is less rapid. The ordinary fence lizard will be black after remaining upon black soli for about half a minute, but upon an old-fash-ioned rail fence the animal soon assumes the motley gray hue of a weather-worn rail. Upon a green leaf the same lizard will take on a decidedly greenish tint. The change of color, both In the chameleon and the common lizards, appears to be nature's subterfuge for the protection of the animaL The best test for rubles and emeralds. says Dr. Immanuel Friedlaender of Berlin, Is microscopic examination. Nearly every ruby and all emeralds have many defects which are so charqcteristi- that the expert can reco*ntzk them, and which cannot be produced In artificial stones. True emeralds have minute enclosures of liqnids and curious dendrites. Sapphires also show peculiar netllke formations. A magnifying power of 100 diameters suffices to reveal the characteristic defecta. For diamonds a good test is that of hardness. A genuine diamond cannot be sera Veiled by a fils or by quartz, and a ruby should stand a similar teat; but emerald is not much harder than quart* and cracks easily.

MAKING PLASTER OF PARIS. A New rreach rroceea—ttegalallas the

■tahlag.

Plaster of parts Is made by baking lumps of gypsum, which contain a certain amount of water in combination with the other materials. It te the replacing of this missing fluid subsequently that leads to a hardening of the plaste into a- chemical powder and thus disappears. According to 'The Scientific American.'' the Frmicb chemist Le Chatelier has discovered that when the gypsum

Is baked at a tesnperatnre below 160

degrees centigrade (! a quarter of the wat

raised at least to 165. Moreover, some means should' be employed to exclude the smoke and other Impurities which get into plaster that is prepared In one of the usual ways Until recently, a thoroughly white plaster Involved ro much labor as to be rather costly. Accordingly, a number of new furnaces have been Invented which shall produce aa article that is both clean and cheap. “The Scientific Anierican" declares: The Pertn furnace Is one of the best of Uiese, and has the advantage of rceding but little band work and of pushing the dehydration of hot gases; beside*, aa it makes eight furnacefuls In 24 hours, the production is rapid, and one of Us main advantages la a great economy of combustible.
