l IT is entirely natural that there should be difference of opinion about the merits of the Australian ballot. Senator German does not think it d good thing and many democrats agree with him, but many other democrats think it Is a very good thing. The Youug Mems Democratic Club, of Will

We observe that the repub- licaas of Iowa and Pennsylvania are opposed to the secret ballot, and we be- lieve that so far as their party interests go they are right in their position. and we are not surprised that Mir Murat llalstead denounces the secret ballot as "a fraud as we'll as fad National Democrat Washington, D (.

How to Make IEalr stand on End-Needles
Made to Float.

How to Make IEalr stand on End-Needles
Made to Float.
Get an ordinary tumbler filled to the
brim with water and on it place a sheet
of paper 50 that the surface OF the water
may be completely covered. Now place
one hand On the paper and with the
other inyert the glass. Then remove
your hand from the paper and the wa
ter will not fall out owing TO the up
ward pressure of the atmosphere.
Again, take piece of thick brown
paper about foot square and heat it at
the fire. When hot place it on the ia
BILE and rub it with clothes brush for
about half q minute. Then hold the
brown paper over some small light bod
ies-little pieces of blotting paper will
do--and the light bodies will Jump
about in most excited manner.
j. the brown paper be held over some
bodys head, several hairs will immedi-
ately stand on their ends, greatly to the
amusement of the spectators.
Another even moro striking expert
ment, and not so generally known, is
performed as follows: Get any piece of
wood, not too thick, about a foot long,
and lay it on the table in such a position
that half Of it projects over the edge Of
the table. Place a broad book on that
part Of IL which is on the table. Strike
the projecting part of the wood sharply
with q strong stick or poker, and the
piece ofwood will smash in two. You
should strike very sharply and without
hesitation or the experiment may fail,
and your book and wood be hurled to
the other side of the room.
One more experiment Is, perhaps, a
little harder to perform than the pre-
ceding, but | have seen several persons
succeed with case. Get glass of water
and needle and try to make the needle
float. All that is required is little
skin. In the same way ordinary nibs
can be floated in water. II you have
magnet-a penny one will do--and rub
it on the needle before the latter is
placed in the water, it will point like
compass to the magnetic pole when
floating, no matter what way it may
point when first placed in the liquid.
