Show QUEER FACTS ABOUT RAIN. Dm Catches Less Water by Walking Downpour. (aid the observant citizen, the habit of running through the rain Is based on a definite fallacy? It la a common habit. But does it tend to minimize the amount of water falling on a person exposed to the rain? I am convinced that it rather aggravates the situation. By experience, in passing the distance of a block, running one time arid walking the other, and at times when the rainfall was about the same, found that my clothes picked up more water and were consequently damper when I covered the distance in a run than they were a hen I walked. ' 1 here seems to be a good reason for the rather cuilous fact. Rain falls Sometimes there Is a irregularly. space of five bl six inches between the falling drops, as w have noticed on Smooth surlsces, like a stone bagging, and again only the fraction of an Inch will serrate the drops. Water occasionally fails In sheets, but this Is not usual.

Filled with the angnlsh and sorrow Tragical muses have wrung From the loom of fanciful musing, But the essence of all the wit. The lesson of all the Hssons Is the lesson: Git up and git! A Trick for the Breakfast Table. LJere is a little trick for the breakfast table which is warranted to sur- bet, the different movements of the flag taking the place of the dots and dashes. By the Morse alphabet the letter A is represented by a dot and a dash, the B by a dash and three dots and the letter C by two dots, a space and a dot. The other letters are represented in a similar way. In the army system waving the flag to the right means a dot; to the left, a dash, and dropping It directly in front of the operator mean3 a space, if therefore, the operator waves the flag once to the right and once to the left he makes the letter A; if he waves it once to the left and three times to the right he makes the letter B, and if he waves It twice to the right, once down in front and then once again to the right, he makes the letter C. This reads like slow work, but it is anything but slow, for the operators are so skilful and quick in the use of the flag that they can give and receive the letters almost as fast as a telegraph operator can give and receive the clicks of his instument. The use of a strong field glass enables the receiving operator to read the signals at a great distance. When it Is necessary to signal at night a torch Is substituted for the flag. Wigwagging In the navy is done on the same general principle, but the numerals 1, 2, 3 are used instead of dots and dashes. The letter A, by this system, is made by the numerals 2, 2; the letter B by 2, 2, 1, 2; the letter C by I, 2, 1; the letter D by 2, 2, 2 and Girl's Frock.
