Guarded by a Network of Devices to insure Their Safety. From (he moment a depositor. lines up before the receiving teller's win dow of a bank and Inys his bills on the founter until he again recdives back nis money from the paying teller his "deposit has been surrounded by a net work of devices to Insure its safe keep- wg. It bas been subjected to the rigid suuking laws of the state or nation. 10 a ghardianship by a host of public' officials, by steel and by time locks, by the vigilance of the bank officials. the surveillance of bonding companies. And yet In spite of this constant ef. fort, though the depositor rarely loses' nimself, sometimes his money mysteri- ously disappears. and until the guilty person is detected the shadow of a Joubt hangs over the personnel of that vank, from the office boy to the presi: dent. Such, however, is the system of .vigilance by which the public through its agents of the law guards funds on ieposit that It is ocly rarely that the money so taken is not recovered. The marvel is not that men daily, nourly, tempted with opportunities to purioin the wealth which passes through their fingers sometimes yield to this temptation, but that the per centage of loss from theft which the vanks of the couptry sustain is not greater than it is. [odeed. so unusual 1s the occurrence of & theft by a mem- per of the bank's personnel that when such is the case the bank's nervous or ganization is thrown out of equilib: rium, The bank as & bank never rests until the theft is uncovered and the guilty man 18 made to reimburse the cash taken.--~Wiliam Buckey in Les fie's.

His Misfit Title Is a Legacy From the English Parliament. The title of "speaker" is a palpable 'misnomer, if the word is to be used in the ordinary sense, for most emphat- {cally it is not his chief duty to make speeches, but to maintain order and de- corum, to conduct the business of the house and In a general way to super vise things in that large and tumaultu- ous assembly. He I» expected to de- liver a short inaugural address and a short speech at the close of each ses- sion, the only speechmaking which cus- tom makes binding on him, The speaker has the same right as any other member to speak from the floor. In the earlier days it seems to have been the rule rather than the ex- ception. It was Henry Clay's habit to participate in debate whenever the spirit moved him, which was quite fre- quently. It being a most insignificant portion of the duties of the presiding officer of 'the house of representatives to make speeches, how came he by the misfit title of speaker? It is not a -difficalt matter to find the reason for the mis and-| nomer.. The presiding officer of the tiouse of commons is called speaker be- cause originally he spoke for the house to the king and the lords on ceremonial occasions. We simply borrowed the title from the English without rime or reason, as we borrowed so many other features of our government from them.~Champ Clark in Youth's Com- pane m. / MAGNIFIED ECHOES. Curious Results Produced by Shots Fired High In the Air. To most persons it would seem im- possible for an echo to be louder than the sound that produced the echo, but onder certain rather peculiar condi tions this is really true. When a revolver is fired from a bal loon the report is sharp, but not so loud as it would be if the gun were fired on the surface of the earth. It thie balloon is up something lke 2.000 feet or higher there will be a few seconds' silence after the revolver shot, and then a roar or deep rumble will rise from the earth. It an explosive is lowered from the basket of the balloon until it hangs a few hundred feet below and ft is dis ¢harged with an electric spark from a battery in the hands of one of the aero nauts there will come to the ears of those above a report like a revolver shot and then a few seconds of silence, followed by a peal of the loudest thuh- der ever heard. There is no solid background about or above the balloonists to produce a rebound of the atmospheric sound wave, and the air is more dense below. Thus when the sound waves penetrate the denser lower strata of air and then the solid earth the echo produced seenis to the ears of the occupants of the balloon far louder than the original sound.--Harper's Weekly. Dogs growl when you touch their food, even in play, because the dog was originally a ferocions animal, like the wolf, and self preservation by way of food 1s his foremost and all pervad: log instinct.
