make longitudinal section of the hole.
Why, there are two holes! One of them
the one you look down, the one the wire
went along-is straight; the other-the
one you did not look down, the one the
string went along-is curved. There is the
solution of the mystery. When you tight
ened the string you made sharp angle
with the portion inside, and also jammed
that portion against the wall so tightly
thatthe bali could not move. When you

Consolins to Disappointed Contributors.


The Century, it is said, has submitted to-
it about 1903 manuscripts in year, of
which it can possibly print only about
100 or less, and disappointed contribu-
tors are consoled by it with the sugges-
ton that editing magazine is not uni
like walking into a garden of flowers and
gathering n single bouquet In other
words, not to accept an article, story, a
poem, is not necessarily to reject it.
There may be weeds in the garlen-there
must be weeds in the gardeu-but the fact
that particular blossom is not gathered
into the monthly bouquet does not prove
that the editor regarded the blossom as
weed, and therefore passed it by. 1t would
be impossible to sweep all tine flowers into
a single handful. Aud it would probably
be much easier for editors to make up
number Of bouquets from the flowers at
their disposal than To gather the single one
for which alone they have room.
