HOY to Master a Book.

In reading a book SO as to retain
knowledge of its contents, we should
first reduce the memory problem to its
lowest ter1ns-we should minimize as
much as possible the work to be done,
by discarding all that is familiar all
that we already know. To this end we
should make a careful abstract of what
is new to us in each chapter as we pro.
coed, using as few words as possible,
and those chosen from the text. Max
ing clear abstract of book does
more good than half dozen ordinary
perusals as it quickens the intellec-
tual energies by arousing and holding
the attention. In reviewing tnc sub
ject refer to your abstract, not to the
book. When you become expert in
making abstracts, you may gradually
dispense with written ones, as you
find your memory growing stronger.
As to the method of memorizing
these abstracts, the best way to proceed
is as follows: You first associate or
connect the title of the book with the
title of the first chapter; then the title
of the chapters to each other; and then
in each chapter the leading idea or
proposition to the chapter; the second
leading idea to the first; facts and illus
trations to the principles to which they
belong; and SO on, to the end of the
book. The number of ideas that should
be selected from each chapter will de-
pend on the nature of the subject, the
degree of sequence or relationship be-
tween the parts, and the completeness

bered When you have finished the
whole book, and wish to test your
knowledge of its contents, turn to the
index and see whether you can give a
clear account of all the subjects or
facts referred to therein. j G. Mofett

The Earth's Cloud BELTS

The researches of NJ. Teisserenc de

earth's cloudiness throughout the year
to arrange itself in zones parallel to the
equator. A belt of maximum cloudi-
ness may be traced near the equator,
two bands of light cloudiness extending
from Is to 30 degs. of latitude north and
south, and two zones of greater cloudi-
ness between As and 60 degs., beyond
which the sky seems to become clearer.

noticeable tendency to follow the sun in

Tn. Crab as a Rabbit Driver.

Along the coast of France. where the
land line Is formed by long stretches of
sandbanks lying between the high cliff
uplands, there used to be found innu-
merable rabbits, who made their burrows
in the dry sand above high water mark.
They ran one hole into another. SO that
the labyrinth of underground passages
frequently extended for several hundred
feet, rendering it next to impossible to
dislodge the inmates in the usual manner
by slipping ferret into one of the holes.
For if this were done, the ferret would
simply drive the rabbits from one corner
of the network to another, where they
would hide as soon as they had evaded
him.
The continental poacher, ever prolific
in devices, knowing that the instinct of
the crab will lead him always to descend
in search of waiter, elaborated a system
of placing bolt net at the mouth of
every hole he could locate. no matter
how many there might be. Then taking
a dozen or so good sized crabs. he fast
ened about half an inch of composite wax
candle to the center of each shell, fixing
them firmly enough for his purpose by
slightly melting the wax at the bottom,
and then pressing it to the she'll These
pieces of wax candles he obtained from
the innkeepers and lodging house keep
ers in the adjacent coast town.
He then lighted the candles and turned
one crab into each of the main runs The
crab just taken from damp place inn
mediately sought the lowest ground in
the burrow, carrying his light along with
him where light had never penetrated
before. The rabbits, frightened almost
to death, rushed madly through the
runs to the mouths of the holes, sprang
out into the bolt nets, and, hopelessIy
tangling themselves in the meshes, lay
painting until the poacher came and put
them out of their misery. have known
more than one hundred rabbits taken
from single burrow at one haul. and
the practice proved SO destructive to the
rabbits that the French government took
the matter in hand and subjected every
offender to heavy fine and imprison-

New york,s Enormous Charities.

New York's charities are something
enormous. That million of dollars are
given to the poor of this city every year
could easily be shown, but that doesn't
touch the question. This matter is some
thing that affects our social structure
from corner stone to cap sheaf. 1t is
employment these people need. Self
support is the first essential in the great
problem of self respect. No man who
lives on borrowed money. no man who is
the recipient Of continuous charity, can
respect himself. The meanest and cheap
est man who walks the streets has his
moments of sober thought. and it is these
moments Of sober thought which will
ultimately breed trouble in this city.

people the '.birth tax was the most
odious. 1t lasted thirteen years, dating
from 1895. Every person not in receipt

for every little stranger" that came into
existence. The tax was a great burden

payments than their poorer neighbors.
