Wan red 1t Himself,

1t was an evening school in Provi-
dence. There was a class of restless, dirty
newsboys and bootblacks on the front
seat. trying to see how little they could
study and how much they could annoy
the teacher. Finally the teacher called
up the class and put them through the
catechism on United States history.
who discovered American
Nobody seemed to know, and the
teacher, long suffering student from
the university, lost his patience. Shut
ting his book with bang, he dismissed
the class with these sarcastic remarks:
well, when one of You boys get to
the point where he needs to have some
one vote for him as governor or presi-
dent, he will be ashamed to think he
doesn't know who discovered America
One of the wickedest looking of the
boys raised his grimy paw.
well, Tom, what is it,
Il know who discovered America"
''Why didn't you tell, them asked the
teacher sharply.
''Cos 1 didn't want to tell all l know"
said Tom, while the class went off into a
roar. The teacher called up the ad-
vanced class in spelling, and there was a
smile on his face the rest Of the evening.

How to Make Strong Castings.

According to The Commercial Bulletin
some of the English iron founders have
adopted q simple practice in making
stronger castings. The method is merely
the introduction of thin sheets of wrought
iron in the center of the mold before cast
ing. This idea was first applied to the
casting of thin plates for the ovens of
cooking stoves, and sheet of thin iron in
the center of 14-inch oven plate renders
1t practically unbreaka5Ie by fire. Recent
ly the process has been applied to the cast
ing of large iron pipes, a core of sheet iron
imparting additional strength and lessen
ing the liability to fracture. As an evil
dence OF an additional strength that may
be impaired by this process it is stated that
plate of iron one-fourth of an inch thick,
cast with a perforated sheet of % wire
gauge wrought iron in the center, possess
es six times the strength of a similar cast
plate with no core The }4-inch plate thus
made has the strength of a plate one inch
thick

Testing the Hardness of Iron.

The Industrial World mentions a meth
cd for testing the hardness of iron while
in the process of manufacture which has
been devised by Mr.. C. A Casperson, Of
the ForsbacBa iron works in Sweden. The
inventor, it is said, conducts a current of
electricity through test piece of iron
or steel, letting it melt the same, upon
which the strength of the current necessi-
tated in the operation is compared with
the strength of current required for the
fusion of a standard piece of metal Of de-
termined degree of hardness, and of the
same diameter as the piece to be tested.
The hardest piece will resist longest, but
melt IL the current be maintained suffi-
GENTLY. By the aid of an ampere meter
metals of varying hardness may be tabu-
lated, so as to furnish scale, it is said, of
hardness

An Ingenious Automatic Device.

n recent invention of considerable inter
est is described by Fire and Water. 1t is a
device for automatically shutting off the
gas when it has been blown out, instead of
being turned off in the usual way The
principle upon which the invention is based
is the expansion and contraction of me-
tallic loop made of German silver and
steel, and which is adjusted very close to
the gas flame. One end of the loop is free,
while the other is secured to the fixture.
A valve controlling the gas is attached to
the free end; and when the gas is burning
the valve is open and the gas freely es-
capes. II, however, the gas is blown out,
the loop will quickly cool and contract,
and the valve will shut off the gas. 1t is
said that the device is exceedingly simple
and 1t responds quickly to the change in

Place on the table lighted candle, and
in front of it, at two or three feet distance,
attach to the wall a sheet of white paper to
form your screen" Between the light
and the screen interpose some opaque body
for example, an atlas or other large book
But under such conditions how are we
to cast the shadows on the screen? Sim
ply by the use of a mirror, placed at the
side of the table. The reflection of the
mirror will appear on the wall as lu-
minous space, oval or oblong. as the case
may be, and if you have placed it at a
proper angle with reference to the screen,
and move your cardboard shapes about
cleverly between the candle and the mir.
ror, you will forthwith see little fantastic
figures projected in shadow on the screen.
The uninitiated spectator is wholly at a
loss to discover how you produce them.

Then it's time you learned. Pick up

form of a small brilliant sphere. Great eff
fervescence is also produced as it floats

grees the small metallic ball disappears

This remarkable experiment is very easy
to carry out, and sodium is now easily pro-
cured at any shop where chemicals are
sold. The combustion of sodium in water
can be explained in very simple manner.
Water, as we know, is composed of hydro
gen and oxygen. Sodium. by reason Of its
great affinity for the latter gas, combines
with it and forms very soluble oxide.
The hydrogen is released and thrown off,
rs we shall perceive by placing lighted
match in the jar, when the combustible
gas ignites.
Oxide of sodium has a great affinity for
water. 1t combines with it, and absorbs
it in great quantities. 1t is solid, white
substance. which burns and cauterizes the
skin. 1t is also alkaline, and brings back
the blue color to litmus paper that has
been Redeemed by acids. Sodium combines
easily also with chlorine. If plunged into
a jar containing this gas it is transformed
into q substance which is sea salt. We
know that caustic soda, or oxide of sodium,
is an alkaline product possessing very pow
erful properties; it burns the skin and de-
stroys organic substances
