FOR YOUNG FOLKS.
AN ODD KIND OF TELESc0PE--A KING
EMPLOYED TO KILL A FOX.
Entertaining Anecdotes and Lively Chat
for Bright-syed Boys and
Girls.


No doubt good many OF our boys
and girls are ignorant OF the fact, says
the New York World, that they can.
with very little trouble and at almost
no expense, construct AN instrument
with which they can plainly see what
is going on under the water over which
they sail their boats. The very idea OF
such a thing is attractive. aud we pro-
pose to tell you how IL can be- done.
The water telescope may be made OF
wood or OF tin, whichever you prefer.
and we will describe both. The tin is
better, because il is lighter and more
easily handled. Its manufacture is
very simple. Get tinsmith TO make
for you funnel shaped tin horn about
three feet long. IL should be eight or
ten inches in diameter at the bottom,
and broad enough at the top for both
eyes TO look into. Into the bottom put
piece OF glass. cut TO tit, and make II
perfectly water tight. Leave the top
open. The inside should bs painted
black TO prevent the reflection OF the
light upon the surface OF the tin.
Around the outside OF the bottom solder
on several sinkers TO Offset the buoyancy
OF the air in the watertight horn and
make IT easier TO submerge. IL 1t is
not convenient TO get round piece OF
glass, have the large end made square
and use square glass. That's all there
is OF IL, and when you sink the instrn-
ment down into the water and put your
eyes TO the small end, you will be per-
fectly astonished ut the plainness with
which you will see all kinds OF fish aud
water animals swimming around in
state OF nature.
A wooden water telescope is made OF
long, square wooden box. say ten
inches square at the large aud four or
five inches at the other. Make all the
seams water tight by means OF putty
and paint. Put n piece OF glass in the
large end and leave the small end open
TO look into, as you do with the tin in
strument.
A great many OF you go on boating
and picnic parties. and you can imagine
how much such a contrivancs would
add TO your amusement and pleasure.
10 say nothing of the instruction de-
rived from studying the inhabitants OF
the water at home.
Using the principle of water tele-
scope. well-known naturalist had a
boat made with glass in the bottom.
through which he could see every move
ment of thousands of fish as they
swan along through the clear water.
Fishermen in Norway use the water tel
escope at their work with the best re-
suits. sometimes discovering "A new kind
OF fish that might otherwise have es-
capped their notice.

A King Employed to KIN Fox.

King Victor Emmanuel OF Italy was

from his party, he was returning by an
isolated road from a hunting expedition.

A peasant who had been watching him
attentively now hurriedly crossed the
road and, hailing him, said:
THAT was well done. Whosoever
you are you know how to handle "a

I'm glad you think So" responded
the King, laughing.
IL only wish you could shoot fox

"Will you give me your hand on it,"
said the farmer, extending his horny
digits.
The King gave him his hand and was
punctual 10 the hour appointed on the
following day. The fox was on hand,
too. but King Victor's sure aim brought

The King looked curiously at the
coins as they were handed TO him. "On-

On the following day the peasants

necklace and a pair OF earrings. Then

Letter from Washington.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIE JOURNAL: The
battle has been fought, the victory won, and
at last the National House of Representatives
has a code of rules, adopted by the Republicans,
formulated for the purpose Of facilitating busi-
ness; and it Is believed that they will, in large
measure, accomplish that purpose. At the
worst they have been constructed as to leave
out the most Formidable mpedments which
have been hitherto used by fibustering mem
bers to block tie wheels of business and rem
der the House incapable of legi>atju@ to meet
the demands and needs of tie people. This
has not been accomplished without over
coming the most strenuous resistance OF the
Democratic members. The contest has been
not only lively but at times very bitter, and the
scenes enacted by the opposition to this long
needed reform have been any thing but credit
able to & people claiming to be civilized.
Through it all, however, the Speaker and the
Republicans have carried themselves with the
cooness and decorum of men acting upon con-
Ncton and determined to accomplish what
they believed necessary and right.
