After lunch generally take a long walk

very great deal.
Night work, in my opinion, is not only
suicidal but fails to please the public.

perfectly convinced that good work can
only be accomplished by the light of

and you cannot see through them.

A Magnetic Umbrella

No inhabitant of a civilized land
would complain because q friend bor-
rowed his umbrella and kept it. That
is done in the best society. But when
man walks round about you, eyes you
furtively. points at you to other persons
and finally, having introduced himself
with a remark about the weather,
makes you a bid for your umbrella, you
feel a little uneasy. Such wa the posi-
ton the other day of a passenger on
board the steamer that plies between
Larne and Stranraer. He had taken up
a seat near the compass, and by-and- by
the captain, who had been looking visit
fully at him, came up in an insinuting
way and asked him what he would take
for his umbrella. Money seemed no
obje t SO long as the umbrella changed
hands. Before the passenger could be-
come seriously unwell, it was explained
to him what his umbrella was wanted
for. There must, said. the Captain, he
something magnetic in it.; for since the
passenger anne into the vicinity of the
compass it had refused to behave it.
self. Covert observation of the UNI
brella had shown the Captain that its
every movement was responded to by
the needle; and, in short, what would
the passenger take for his umbrella?
The cause of all this trouble and be-
wilderment has been forwarded to Sir
William Thomson, the electrician, and
he is dissecting it to get at its secret.
If an umbrella car fascinate ships COM
passes in this way, they will in future
have to give each other q wide BERTH

THOSE CLEVER GREEKS.

How They Managed in Their Architecture
to Counterfeit y Natural Fault of the
Eye.
If you turn a book upside down and
look at the letters, every S will seem
much smaller" ct the bottom than at the
top, although, when the book is prop
erly held, both halves appear the same
size to the eye.
The upper part of the type that prints
the letter S is made smaller than the
lower half to correct the fault of the
eye, which always slightly exaggerates
the former, When the letter is turned
over. this same trick of the sight makes
the difference seem greaterthan it real
~ is; and, OF course, We're it OF the
same width all the way, it would still
look uneven.
In greater matters. the false report of
the eye is greater. If a tapering mon
ument, like that on Bunker Hill or like
the Obelisk in Central Park, were made
with perfectly straight sides, it would
look TO u%s-for, you see, We really can
not trust our own eyes-as if il were
followed in a little; or, as we should
say Ill more scientific language, its
SIDES would appear concave.
Those clever Greeks, who did so
many marvellous things in art, THOUGHT
all this out. and made their architecture
upon principles so subtle and so COM
prehenslve that we have never been
able to improve on them since. They
ouad that their beautiful Doric col
