Not Up on Science.


He sat by the stove in a Michigan
avenue grocery store for full twenty min
utes before speaking. He spread out his
legs to encircle as much of he fire as pos
6lble, drew his sleeve across his nose at
regular intervals, and there was a strong
smell of burning bo0t-leather as he finally
looked up at the grocer and asked:
''Can you tell me why combustion
causes draughtW
''NO, STRIP was the prompt reply.
Its positively wonderful how ignorant
the masses are on scientific Subjects
continued the man as he helped himself
to an apple. "Can you tell me why this
isinglass in your stove is not consumed
by the heat?"
II guess it's because you keep all the
heat O1fn' was the sneering reply.
You are liar, sir, and you say that
to excuse your Ignorance! Now, then,
what pressure does water exert on the
human body at depth of sixty feet?'
''Pll exert a pressure on your body if

grocer. What do you want hereE

The grocer lay hold of the man to draw
him to the door, but caught Tartar and
was Topped on his back.
Il eXerted Il force of about One-eighth
horse power to accomplish that,'' said the
old man as he knelt on the PROSTATE body.

How the Chinese Scoop Coins.

There is IS bogus coin, says the New
Orleans States, that has for some time
been passing current outside of the banks
in the Pacific states, which has recently
appeared in Chicago and other Western
cities, to the surprise OF the government
detectives. This coin, it is said, is ma
nipulated by the "Heathen Chlnee," and
so skillfully is the work done that it re-
quires an expert to detect its spurious
character. They put the coin on small
lathe and with a hard tool like a fine
graver's tool they hollow the middle as
deftly as it possible to do it. They ill
the cavity with mixture Of platinum
and lead, remill the coin, gilt its edge,
and the work is done. The coin is equal
in weight to the genuine, and by some
def process the original ring is preserved.
They take from a So gold piece to the
value of 81 80, from $40 piece 81 50, and
from $50 peice about 81 so. Their work
is almost perfect, but they are closely
watched, and their natural timidity
keeps the number of "artists" small in
deed.
