There is not infrequently @ small: portion of air left in such space, and there is always an atmosphere of the vapor of mercury. Physically speaking,: it is perhaps impossible to procure a vac uum. It is most likely, that even if’ real. vacuum could be procuted for at instant air.or other vapor ‘wotld at once begin to be disseminated from the sides of the vessel in which it.was made, and it would thus instantly cease to exist. It is true that Dexartes denied the very possibility of a vacuum and says, “If a vacuum could be effected in a vessel the sides would be pressed into contact,” but it is hardly correct to say, “Scientists say that a vacuum’ cannot, exist.” What scientists do say is what Galilei said, “Nature abhors a vacuum.” As the statement of a fact is true, Nature does, to the best of our knowledge, abhor a vacuum. She never suffers it to exist to the extent of allowing any space which is perceptible to our senses to be vacuous. Vacuum, in scientific speech, simply means. 4 space. from which air has been expelled Conditional, A Scotsman was on his deathbed, and his friends persuaded him to forgiye & neighbor with whom he had had a standing feud for some years.

An anual fair at Barnstaple, Engjand,-has been held for hundreds of years. It was originally held in July, but the time was altered to September by a charter. granted by Queen Mary. Barnstaple fair is inaugurated with a céremony in the town hall, where a “ gpecial meeting of the town council is held and spiced ale and toast (prepared ‘. In the council chamber by the beadles and mace bearers) are dispensed to all » who crowd the building. Appropriate toasts are proposed and speeches made by the local member of parliament and others, after which the mayor preceeds in procession to three points. of the town, at each of which is read his proclamation opening the fair and enjoining all concerned to keep the peace during its continuance. Not until this ceremony has been performed can the business and fun of the fair proceed. On the inauguration of the fair a huge stuffed white glove, adorned with flow~ ers, Is thrust on a pole from one of the upper windows of the town hall and remains in evidence during the continuance of the festival as the symbol of open handed welcome. A Dance Without a Smile. They have a singular kind of dance conducted on the greens of country villages in Russia. The dancers stand apart, a knot of young men here, a knot of maidens there, each sex by it self, and silent as a crowd of mutes, A piper breaks into a tune, a youth pulls off his cap and challenges hia girl with ‘a wave and a bow. If the girl is willing, she waves her handkerchief in token of assent. The youth advances, takes a corner of the handkerchief in his hand and leads his las sie round and round. No word is spoken, and no laugh {a beard. Stiff with cords and rich with braids the girl moves heavily by herself, going round and round, and never allowing her partner to touch her hand. The pipe goes droning on for hours in the same’sad key and measure and the prize of merit in this “circling,” as the dance is called, is given by spectators to the lassie who in all that summer revelry has never spoken and never smiled, -4 Studios That Are Workrooms.

Building, ed the matter. of beef, pork, mutton and veal on hand Commercial Transparent Salt. Some remarkable salt formations are found extending for thirty miles along the Virginia river in Nevada. The salt forms mountains of crystal and is so pure and clear that fine print can be read through a foot of it. This region was evidently once occupied by a great salt lake, as close by are some wonderful wells, one of which, seventy-five feet in diameter, contains water so intensely saline that a person bathing there will float Hke a cork. Jules Verne’s Romance. The story of Jules Verne’s courtshir and marriage is a most romantic one. Verne was u shy young fellow who had a great dislike to the society of wom. en, and it was only his affection fo. his brother which led him to go to the latter’s wedding. Verne, however, arrived too late and found that the whole bridal party had left for the churcb with the exception of the bride’s sister, a charming young widow, who explain. The friendship thus accidentally begun rapidly developed into a warmer feeling and ended in a muarriage which may be described as ideai. A Race of Masked Men.
