At that time Kir Jo seph Hanks was president of the Koyal society, and he noticed a strong re semblance between the Yorkshire stone and one sent to him from Kiena. in It aly, which was sail to have fallen from the thy. Two or three years lat er he received an account of a fall of stones near Benares, in Hindustan.

Tlse Story of a Iui-elin.se Tlist Earned tbe Sloy Mai-ttj Tcasini.;. . ; " l j. .ul-o vjjiwu was a sinai , boy living in Georgetown. O., ho want When Ulysses S. Grant was a small eu, like most boys, to own a horse. and one particular celt belonging to a man named liah-toa he wished espe cially to have. To indulge the boy'a taste and buy the colt his father of fered ilr. Ralston ijCJO, but the" owner valued the colt at $23 and refused th offer, taking the animal homo with As the hours passed after the little horse had trotted away with its owner Ulyssos' disappointment and eagerness for possession increased, and he final ly begged his father to pay the $23 de manded. His father said that $20 was nil the animal was worth, but sinte Ulysses desired it so much he might go to Mr. Ralston and offer $20 again. If, his father added, he could net bay it for $20, ho might offer $22.30. ami if the owner would not let it go fcr $22.30 he might, in order to obtain it, give $25. Ulysses therefore mounted a horse and set out for Mr. Kalston's. He Triio at that time probably about eight years eld. When he found the owner, he to'.d him, "I'apti says 1 may otter you $20 fcr the colt, but if you won't take that to offer you $22.30, and if you won't take that to give yon $23." The eagerness of the boy to gain the horse could not brook any barrier. It is needless to say that he paid $23 and led the animal home. Grant said, hi writing his memoirs, that the story of this purchase of his got out in the village and it was long before lie heard, the last of it. The schoolboys delighted in teasing him about it; Fehooiboys are very often iitili? barbarians for tormenting one another, and they did not let Ulysses forget this one instance when he was behind ihe rest in cleverness. He kept the hore for several years and anally sold it for $20. the poor animal having become blind. Later he found it taken from the rea l and working the trend wheel of a i'o! ryboat which piled between the Ohio and Kentucky banks of the Ohio river. THE PERPETUAL LIGHT. Remni-kcZsJe I.ni;;; .

I That old question about a pound of ; feathers and a pound of lead takes on 'new interest v. hen we look at it in a simple sckmthie way. It- seems ab surd, of. course, that a pound of one ; thing could be heavier than a pound of another thing, and yet that is exactly wiiat may be shown in this case; not that the pound of lead is heavier than the pound of fee. tie. rs,as most persons would say on the spur of the moment, but just the otlur way a pound of feathers is. heavier than a pound of lead. This apparently inconsistent state ment may be eaite easily proved. WLh accural? scales weigh a pound of lead, using ordinary shot for convenience; then with the same scales weigh a pound of feathers, pulting them into a muslhi bag for the purpose. The feath ers and the bag together must wciyh exactly a pound. '?h: next step In the operation will show apparently Unit there is no dif ference whatever in the weight ef the ! two articles, fcr you put the shot in one pan of a balance, and the bag of feathers in the other, and after a litLle see-awing they will come to an exact level. Now, however, the scion U lie phase of the queviion presents itself, and you .ire romh.ded that in weighing the" re ticles thus in the open air you have taken no account of the buoyant pow er cf the air, which -bears everything up in proportion to the oh j-set's' bulk. As the hag of feathers is of greater bulk than the shot, it is borne up more than the shot is, and for that reason it is necessary to use a little more than a pound of feathers to balance a pound of iead. . Thia. however, is theoretical. The practical proof is" obtained w'aea you place the balance bearing the lead and the feathers on the receiver cf an air pump and cover them with the lihiss bilk Then exhaust the air, and you will a ad thai the pan beariag the feath ers wit! -sink ami the pan bearing the lead wii! lise, tints showing that when weighed in the ordinary way the quan tity of featlnrs us;l to make a pound is actually more than a pound.

UnoouUedly the Hying hVh tias wings iike a bird; undoubtedly it tiles, yet not as a bird.

Yet it will pass a ship making i,u khets in the hour and trav el ii the air as far as 300 fec-t at a time. A siouudii-ig, indeed, is the sight of a shoe! of !lyicg tls'u taking to the air, skimming far ever Ike surface when the sea is calm, leaping high over great waves when gales blow. Fish seem ludicrously out of their element in the air. but that fiah "should !ly is not really more wonderful than that some animals and birds, like the otter or tho pom-adu, dive and swim to per fection. The flying fish's fins are really pr. ra chitics i; support and steady u:? body rather than wings to pro-pel ii. Tht 1o'h of the tail gives propulsion to the body as it leaves the water.

UNCLE SAM'S FREAK MONEY Kill:-! TI:s:t .Are Tvc-::iv n. , 0iv SCtle r.isrt Ten ?n lise neverso. Scattered throughout the- country are a few pieces of paper money that are known as -freak bills" by the otlh-ials of the treasury department. One of tkeni turned up in this city not ieug ago it had the imprint of a twenty dollar note on one side and a ten on the ether. A.s the face showed the twenty, that was its legal value. The deputy assistant treasurer of the United States, who is stationed in the New York subtroasury, was speak ing of these freaks the other day and F.'id he had only seen one of them in bis life, although he had heard of sev eral. Very rarely they have rt2j;ed through the bureau of engraving and printing despite a careful scrutiny by three or four sets of i-ispecicrs. In moot eases 'hey have been national banknotes, wrick, like reguiar treasury notes, are printed at the bureau ill Washington. The face value always is recognised when the frerks coir.e to be cashed in at any blanch of the treasury, and the imprint on the back has no lawful status whatever. "The nobs are printed, in sheets at the bureau," .said tbe official. "Usual ly there wii! be cue twenty an 1 two tens on a sheet. They are printed one side at a time, so it can be seen that the prlaier in turning over th:- sheet might get it upside dovn and thus put a ten dollar hack oi tin twenty dollar note, or twenty on the back of one of the lens."
