During the hearing ot a recent breach of promts* case th* Judge raised tfe* question as to whether aST courtships were not very much alike. Now, although. It oannct be denied ! that all courtships are a means to the ; same end, It caniiot b maintained that the means are always the dame. ; Indeed, no two couples are alike any more than there are two pea pie ex.-; accly alllre. The courtship of the impetuous lover, who carries all before him in | the ardor of his wooing, can scarcely , be said to resemble that of the suitor ! who looks again and again before he < leaps, and sometimes locks so long that he leaps only to find that another has taken the plunge ahead of him and ' carried off the prize. Nor Is there much in common be- tween the courtship that is all adjec- 1 tives and kisees and the up-to-date courtship of "pals" who discard ths : ordinary modes of love-making as "silly." Again, what resemblaase to there i between the courtship of many words and one which is a "song without . words," like that of Barkis, the car- rier, which conefctad of the words, "Barkis is willing." repeated occasion- ally by proxy, as often as opportunity permitted? Then, too, the varied circumstances in which courtships are conducted necessarily make for variety. In one ' section of the community they are fre- quently carried on at th<e back door. This, although :t has its drawbacks, obviously possesses advantages over a courtsh/ip conducted from a second- floor window, as ia the correct mode in Spain. In Burma the maiden of a marriage- able age places a lamp In the window a-. !ght o'cOock. This Is Gtte that ijv.., : ready to receive bachelors, preferably several at a- ttaMt From eight until twelve o'clock, is looked upon a* the definite courting time, duiiacr which hours mother may only hover discreetly ta die back- ground. In some parts of Japan, as soon a* a young man has set eyas upon his Weal, as opena proceedings by fasten- ing a branch of a certain shrub agaJnt th door of her parents' house.

When a youth in Afghanistan uUces a fancy to a girl the method is still more simple. All he has to do ia to cut off a lock of her hadr. The rest cf the proceeding merely consists in driving as hard a bargain as possible wit. tha girl' a father. Morocco Is one of the most stony- hearted countries in ths world in this respect The youths and maidens there fare badly indeed, for they are not even aUowed to ee each other be- fora the wedding.

Many at the mysteries of "spon- taneous combustion" have been clear- ed up by the advance of science. There was a time when the fact that a heap of coal can take tire of its own accord, so to speak, was re^.irdej as almost miraculous. After many serious accidents of this kind had occurred. Involving m:t infre- quently the low of vasaela at sea, an explanation was suggested to the ef- fect that the fire was caused by the t)id*tion of tie pyrltas of iron and suV phur. which are often found in coal, and which are popularly called in Eng- land "coal brasses." When the pyrites are. exposed to moisture a rapid chemi- cal change occurs in them, accom- panied by th production of heat. But It wua afterward snown that many coals liable to spontaneous :gnition when collected in Immense ht>:ijw pos- saseed such slight traces of pyrites that their presence could not be re- garded as the cause of the Ignition. A more careful scudy of the phenom- enon, based upon a consideration of the nature and structure of :.* coal Itself, led to the theory which prevails to-day. This U that the oxidation of the coal, and not of the pyrites. Is the real source of tils disastrous fires which occasionally break out In the holds of ships laden with coal and In the vast heaps contained in coal yards. Coal possesses a surprising power of absorbing oxygen. Some kinds ot coal will rapidly absorb two or tl.ree times their own volume of ozygen when ex- posed to tbe air Bituminous coata in particular always contain a consider- able amount of hydrogen, forming a volatile compound with the carbon, When oxygen is absorbed from the air it >.-.p.3 to combine with both the carbon and the hydrogen, and thin chemical action produces heat. The heat in tarn, tiuickens Mi- chemical ac- tion, and If. In addition. th coal in which this action is going on Is heaped together in a larg mass, the heat quickly accumulates because it cannot readily escape, coal being a slow and poor conductor The smaller the pieces of coal the greater th* danger, because a small piece bos In proportion to its mass i larger urfac area =sposed to the air, and consequently to the absorption of oxygen, than a large piece, and when small pieces are heaped together the; form a porous mass which may be thoroughly permeated by oxygen from the atmosphere. The presence of moisture a'oo accel- erates the chemical action of the oxy- gen in the coal so that the tempera- ture of wt coal rles faster than that of dry coal. In the procea of loading, ships with coal a aerious danger is often iurlted by pouring the coal into the hold from a fcnlrierabl height by means of chute*. Tb* coni at tha bottom thus gets broken smaUer and smaller, until it is in a fit sute- for combustion to be sert up.
