Bluo Balloons.
In cnso you ever fool tempted to buy
a balloon don't buy a bluo one Red
ohm ato tho best Thoro Is a Bclcntlflc
reason why. According to tho re
searches of M. Keynaud, caoutchouc la
strongly attracted by tho ultra violet
rays from tho mercury vapor lamp
with a quartz tube, which Is a power
ful Bourco of such rays. This fact has
a practical bearing in connection with
balloon envolopes, which nro treated
with caoutchouc. Aeronauts nro fa
miliar with the discovery that tho en
velopes suffer during nscouslons, .nud
this Is explained by tho greater effect
of ultra violet rays nt high nltltudes.
Experiment had nlready led to using
yellow coloring matter on tho envel
opes nnd red balloons nro sometimes
seen, but never blue or violet M.
Iteynnud considers that red Is tho best
color to use, as It not only absorbs tho
ultra violet rays, but also tho blue
rays, nnd theso last nro likely to share
In tho bad action of the sun's rays upon
balloons. Now York "World.
He's Still Running,
A gontlomnn In n Manchester restau
rant tho other day thought bo would
hnvo n Joko with tho waiter and asked
him if ho had ever seen a snusago roll.
"Say," said tho waiter, "I havo not
only seen n snusago roll, but I havo
seen a biscuit box, n tnblo spoon, a
chimney sweep, n chain link, a noso
gay, a camera slide, a garden fence, a
sword flsb, a wall flower." But when
ho got to a "flro escape," tho gentleman
thought It was high tiino for him to
escnpo too.
As ho wont tho waiter wont with
him, saying, "A trap turn, a cako walk,

Rook Salt Discovered by Accident.
The great rock salt deposits of Louis
iana were discovered by accident in
May, 18G2. Salt was very scarco at
that time, and tho proprietor of tho
Island's salt works, John Marsh Avery,
determined to' profit by it With this
end in view ho commenced to deepen
his wells. lOno negro workmnn, after
going down Bixteen feel, cawo to Mr.
Avery with tho new3 that ho had
struck a sunken log, and could pro
ceed no further. Mr. Avery investigat
ed and found, not a log, but tho great
rock salt dopbslt that has made Louis
iana famous throughout tho country.
Tho discovery did not como altogether
as n surprise, as Thomassy had pre
dicted that a great rock salt deposit
would ono day bo discovered in eaoh of
tho flvo Gulf Islands, nnd perhaps in
other portions of tho state. Since tho
closo of tho wnr, rock salt has been

Tho Wagon Wheel Paradox.
A very interesting paradox is tho ono
concerning nn ordinary wagon wheel,
.which is Bolld nnd rigid, yet, when fas
'tened on its nxlo on a wagon, when tho
wagon moves part of tho circumfer
ence of tho wheel which is in contact
with the ground is for an instant nt
absolute rest, while tho point directly
perpendicular to it is flying along at a
high rato of speed. Tho two points
horizontal with tho center of the wheel
are traveling pretty fast, but only half
as fast as tho topmost point, nnd as
tho up going horizontal point Increases
in speed tho down going ono slows up
until it is at rest for a moment when
In contact with tho ground. Yet the
wheel is one solid piece and there are
only two points going at tho same rato
of speed at the same time. Yet if tho
wheel is taken off tho axle and rolled
down an Incline every point of the cir
cumference moves at tho same rato of
epeed.

Waves and Surf,
Long and oscillatory waves run by
gravity, tho first agitating tho water to
nearly tho same amount nt all depths,
whilo tho chief disturbance duo to tho
latter confines itself to tho upper lay
ers of tho water. Theso oscillatory
waves, tho most typical cxainplo of
which is perhaps furnished by tho
"swell," or regular rolling waves
which continue to run in deep water
after a storm, will break on n shelving
shoro when their height is nbout equal
to the depth of water. When tho depth
Is sufficient to nllow tho oscillations to
proceed unimpeded no progressive mo
tion uuies pmco, cucu cumiim uuiuk
kept in its place by tho pressure of
surrounding columns. If, however
free oscillation Is prevented, ns by tho
interposition of n rock or by tho shelv
ing of tho shore, the columns in tho
deep wntor nro not balanced by thoso
in tho shallower, nnd thus they ncqulro
a progressive motlou and form "break
ers." For this reason waves always
break against tho shore, whatever is
tho direction of tho wind.

Trying a Joke.
Somo years ago In a North Carolina
court, Judgo Bhlpp presiding, tho trial
of n causo had been protracted till near
midnight. Tho Jury wero tired nnd
sleepy nnd showed flagging attention.
WHIIo Murchlson, who was addressing
tho Jury, thought to nrouso them, so ho
said, "Gentlemen, I will tell you an
anecdote." Instantly tho Judgo, tho
Jury nud tho fow spectntors pricked
up their cars and wero all attention, ns
Murchlson was ndmlrablo in that line,
hnd a fund of anecdotes nnd no ono
could tell them better. But ho soon
proceeded to toll ono of tho dullest,

"Mr. Murchlson, I don't soo tho point

tho witty counsel. "But your honor

amused himself by taking on his shoul
ders his own horse, fully hnrncBsed,
nnd with thnt heavy load ho prome
naded tho public squnro, to tho great
delight of tho inhabitants. At about
tho snmo timo Ihoro lived a Spnnlnrd
