A Curious Experiment.

Take a round piece OF pasteboard, Tor
any other shape, and insert it IN quill
open at both ends, and lay this on an
other piece OF pasteboard o. the same
shape. in which is stuck pin, SO that the
pin will enter the quill. Blow through
the quill as hard as you may, but the
lower piece cannot be blown off.
A common spool, such as is used
sewing cotton, forms suitable apparatus
for trying this wonderful experiment.
Take a bit of smooth writing paper, a
little larger than the head of Abe spool.
and run pin through the paper and into
the bore OF the spool. Now, by blowing
down il will be found impossible to blow
the paper. By observing closely, it will
be seen that the paper does not quite
touch the head Of the spool. 1t is, of
course, necessary 10 hold the paper up
with the hand until you begin to blow.
The explanation is this: When the
currents Of air are established. radiating
from the central tube horizontally betweea
the disk and the paper, the greater area
of the disk, as compared with that Of the
lube, cuases the air above the paper TO
be rarifed. when the pressure Of the air
below, not being counterbalanced, holds
The paper up. The pin acts as anchor
10 prevent the paper from being blown
away horizontally.-SeisntDfe american.

Why flashed The h,g on Monday morn.
Actoss the startled sky7
Why leaped Me blood to every cheek,
The tears TO every eye?
The hero in our four months woe,
The symbol Of our might,
Together sunk for one biie! hour.
To rise forever bright.
The blood Of Cromwell claimed his own,
The blood Of Naseby st,eamed
Through hearts unconciou, OF the 6re,
Till that torn banner cleaned.
The seeds Of Millions lofty thoughts,
All hopeless Of the spring,
Burst forth in JOY rs through them glowed
The life great poets sing.
Old Greece was young and Homer true,
And Daute's burning page
Flamed in the red along our f,g,
And kind!ed holy rage.
GoG's G,>suel clccred the sacred cause,
In stern, prophetic strain,
Which makes Ills Right our covenant,
His psalms our deep reir 'in.
Oh, sad for him whose light went out
Before this glory came,
WHO could not live to feel his Kin
TO every noble name
And sadder still to miss the Joy
That nine;,e millions know.
In Human Natures Holiday
From all that make life low.

Our National Debt.

One OF the leading New York journals,
the Evening Post, points ou, that wal
debt OF seven hundred and fifty millions,
contracted in putting down the slavery
rebellion, would be far less onerous tc
the people Of to-day, than the debt IN.
CURED in the Revolution, and which wa:
aggregated in 1901. The population o
the country was then three millions, and
the means Of creating wealth very scanty
but the debt which followed thar seven
years struggle, was fully seventy five
millions. The Post says:
But We must remember that sovonty Ave
millions was, IN those days, nearly twice as
great a sum as it would bc now, when living
Is so much doarer, aud money so much
cheaper. Counting in ovory difference OF
circunstances,i it ia safe to say that wo would
to-day more easily boar debt of fittoon
hundred millions than could tho mon Of
1891 ono of soventy-Gve millions.
The Revolutionary. debt was very grad.
ully reduced until tho yoar 1912, when
forty fvo millions remaiued 10 DO paid -

At this time wo had u population of eight
and half millions. The debt, which was
cqual-leaving out every consideration hut
numbors-to at least fifty millions at the
present time, was paid off in nineteen years,
and surplus remained in tho treasury. In
l945, ut tho beginning Of the war with Mex
leo, our national debt, owing to various
causes, had again increased TO nearly SOW
enteen millions. III 1913 it stood at sixtv-
five millions. which, at tho close OF 1856,
had been reduced TO thirty millions.

A gentleman who was in Alexandria On

OF the Federal force on this side OF the Poto-

rails OF the Confederate army entertain the be-
lief that an advance will be made, and that
