THE MUD FISH.

We will suppose condition anterior to our
present civilization, when the native islander
or coast inhabitant wanted the power to propel
his simple bark canoe; when he adopted the
paddle oar-the same principle which applies
to turbine" water wheels and propellers
adapted to water navigation. In the enGrav-
ing A 10 the mud fish. b is its dorsal fin when
at rest is the same dorsal fin when in motion,
ID is the caudu fin with a membraneous con-
nection with the dorsal fin b and C. Fins L
and are only for steerage purposes; that is
for raising and lowering its body with the aid
of the caudal fin, which in this species is also
used for aiding in propelling and steerage
Now, when the fish wished to locomote itself
the native Isaac Walton caught an idea by
which to propel his canoe, and afterward the
national and commercial worlds adopted the
principle as one of the six principles of mech
anism-the screw or propeller. or simplest
form OF gimlet. When the fish has occasion to
propei itself it simply gives a fexuous motion
to its dOrsal fin, as illustrated in diagram
marked c. The curvatures Gee. are the
bendings or curyings of a line or body, aud
that point in a curve at which the curvature
passes from convex to concave ia the contrary
of fexure. Action and reaction are equal and
IN opposite directions, and are always TO be
estimated in the same right line.
The primitive native after thus having &C.
quired the principle of propelling his canoe
was disturbed in the engagement of his
newly found pleasure by thoughts OF his
neighboring enemies. who might assail him in
any unguarded moment. In his perplexity he
again sought advice from the mud fsh. one of
which species suggested from the form of
one Of it's scales the pattern of the flint arrow
head. In after ages when different civilization
required an armor for protection against the
arrow head the mud fsh's skin furnished the
idea for the "coat of mail" as used In the
medi8val ages.

When you have learned to spin the top and
catch it on your hand you ready to learn
to balance it on the edge of a closed fan or a
billiard cue. This requires nicely of touch
You must be an equiiibrist as well as a top
spinner. Hold the fan steadily. Put the top
down gently As il slides over to one side turn
the fan slightly possible to the other side
and it slowly comes back to the center. Do
this for Il month. An hour day? Not
quarter of that time unless yonr muscles are
made of IRON and your nerves of steel. Fifteen
minutes with the fan and top will make you
shake with the palsy the first time you try it.
You have il at last. Now incline your fan
point downward and the top huns down to-
ward the floor. Raise the point and it returns
to your hand. The billiard cue will call into
play all you have already learned and more.

balance top on the rounded side OF II cue
takes practice. 70 make il travel to the chalked
point and back again to the butt requires
months and even years of work. But it can be
done. Let us take the cord now. This is
pended from the ceiling. Wrap it around the
revolving point one turn and start the top on
trip toward the clouds. How is this done! BY
spinning the top To its utmost speed and by
holding the cord just taut enough. 1t is not
nearly so hard to do as the cue trick. but il has
work enough about it to keep you employed
for month or two at least.
An oBEDIEST EGG.
Here is a neat trick. Roll an egg end over
end up and down the edge Of closed fam This
is comparatively simple First cut a very shall
low groove in the fan. Then boil your egg
hard, or if you cannot do that shake it well. 80
that the yolk and white are thoroughly mixed.
Now place it ill the groove. and by giving the
fan a little outward push You can make the
egg roll over. Keep on with these little pushes
until the egg reaches the end. Then reverse
the movement. pull instead of push and it
comes back to the starting point. An expert
egg roller can take a perfectly round rubber
ball and roll 1t back and forward on the fan
without using groove. but il is impossible to
do it with an egg. You have often witnessed the
butterfly trick and you have probably WON
dered at the skill of the performer. II you
have ever left the theater to try the expert

Women as Employees.

From the Columbus, Ohio, State Journal.
A business man of the city, giving employ
ment to both men and women, upon being asked
why he did not employ more women than he
did said 81 have employed women very often
and wish could feel more encouraged, but
the truth is that when young man comes to
me and begins his work he feels that it is his
life's business. A wife, home and happiness
are to be earned, and he settles steadily and
earnestly to his labor determined to master it
and with every incltement squirting him on
He cannot marry until he knows his trade, 1t
is exactly the other way with the girl. She
may be as poor a. the boy and wholly depend
ent upon herself for her living, but she feels
that she will probably be married by and by
and then she must give up the work. So she
goes on listlessly. She has no ambition to
excel; she does not feel that her happiness de-
ponds on it. She will marry, and then her
husbands wages will support her. She may
not say 30, but she thinks SO, and it spoiis her
work"

COMPLETING THE CIRCUIT,


Now the car is going to start from the end Of
the line or properly the car-starting station
the conductor or driver pulls a lever which is
encased in a box on the front platform OF the
car. The lever is the medium Of connecting
the current from the storage battery with the
motor under the car
II it il ever necessary to stop or suddenly
reverse the motion OF the car the leverman
will reverse the lever until the brushes, which
are controlled by the lever, come in conjuuc-
ton with the negative wire. In illustration
the box marked Is the lever box, the wire
running from that box connects with the series
OF batteries under the car seats, and following
the current around the series Of batteries until
the wire from negative and positive pole
connect with the motor (as in diagram).
The car In motion over the rails science has
to interposs again to take care of the electrical
element that has propelled the car and escaped
from the wheels Of the car to the rail. See on
diagram 2. A is the car. Il 10 the supplying
dynamo, c ia a connecting iron rod from the
rail into the ground with the wire connecting
with the supplying dynamo. This is also a
circuit, for the storage battery under the seat
represents the dynamo marked B in the dia-
gram, and the escaped current from the wheels
follows the track to the wire that leads to the
plate G in the ground and takes the wire +
back to the supplying dynamo.
WHEN BAIL Is DISPLACED.
To illustrate the circle further suppose car
A was under full speed and rail should be
displaced, the circuit just described would be
broken and the car would stop. II is species
of human sympathy between the storage bat.
terry on the car and the main dynamo.
The storage batteries are kept at the end of
q line of street cars just a. horses are kept at
relay stations, with the exception that the
charged batteries are hung up in racks ON the
office wall, and when car returns to its ter
minus the driver removes hts expended bat
teries under the seats Of the car and replaces
them with fresh charged ones, just as driver
would hitch fresh pair Of horses on horse
car line. In speaking Of electricity, electricians
speak Of its quantity and power as steam engi-
neers would estimate power OF steam. Volt
means pressure, ampere means quantity and
ohm means resistance. To say that one volt
win force one ampere through one ohm means
that a horse (the VOLT will pull cart (the am

you had touched something that was very hot
Now comes the knack of picking up the top
and doing so without stopping it Gently now;
one finger and thumb are enough if You only
have the skill Lift it up quickly before It
burns and drop the point into the palm of
your hand. Now incline your hand lust a

catch it on the other hand. Slowly? Yes, very
slowly at first. but when YOU are sure of your
self. when you have given to the top impetus
enough to make il sing do it quickly Toss
