seventy-five cents a yard. These are very
effective when used under net or chiffon,

THE sDrpLrsr FORM OF RAIN GAUGE.

THE SIMPLEST FORM OF RAIN GAUGE.
falls on this area is collected in the bottle,
and the quantity which has fallen during
the period of observation is measured by
means Of graduated glass. Thus II in
twenty-four hours the quantity collected
measures 2.3 fluid ounces this Is equal to
four cubic inches, and If the area of the
funnel is twelve inches, this represents a
rainfall of one-third Of an inch in twenty
four hours. The funnel and bottle are
usually inclosed in metal cylinder which
is taller than the funnel, so as to retain
any snow which may fall
Many local circumstances may affect the
quantity of rain which falls in different
countries; but, other things being equal,
most rain falls in hot climates, for there
the vaporizaton is most abundant. The
rainfall decreases, in fact, from the equator
to the poles The quantity varies with the
seasons. In Paris, in winter, it AZ inches;
In spring, 60; in summer, 6.3, and in
autumn, as inches. The heaviest annual
rainfall at any place on the globe is on the
Khasi hills, in Bengal, where it is 6OC
inches, of which 500 inches fall in seven
months
Under similar circumstances the guam
tity of rain diminishes with the distance
from the sea. Thus, IL the annual rainfall
is in the center of Germany, it is l.2 in the
center Of England and l.75 on the English
coast. An inch Of rain on a square yard OF
surface represents fall of 47.74 pounds, OF
Az gallons.

A new hydraulic shears recently started
up at a steel plant in England is described
by The Industrial World as being power
full enough to cut through an ingot 80
inches wide by 10 inches thick with ap-
parently no effort at all, and the time taken
for the operation does not exceed three
minutes.
1t has been noted that in some of the
Maine streams fish will go, for the purpose
OF laying their eggs, into water so shallow
that the fins on their backs are out of the
water.

maker claims will completely revolutionize

EFFECT OF RRADIATIoN of the image. 1t
bears the same relation to the space occu-
pied by the image that the duration of the
impression does to the time during which
the image is seen.
The effect of irradiation is very percepti-
BILE in the apparent magnitude Of stars,
which may thus appear much larger than
they really are; also in the appearance OF
the moon when two or three days old, the
brightly illuminated crescent seeming to
extend beyond the darker portion of the
disk and to hold it in its grasp
Plateau, who investigated this subject,
found that irradiation differs very much in
different people and even in the same per
son it differs on different days. He also
found that irradiation increases with the
luster of the object and the length of time
during which it is viewed. 1t manifests
itself at all distances; diverging lenses in.
crease it. condensing lenses diminish it.

FEBRUARY.
Facts and Fancies Regarding the Short
est Month In the Year.

Facts and Fancies Regarding the Short
est Month In the Year.
February, like January, claims Numa
Pompilius for father, since the month was
called into being by that monarch to com
plete the twelve he designed the year to
hold.
To February he gave only twenty-nine
days, excepting in leap year, when it was
to have thirty; but the Emperor Augustus,
unwilling that his own month, August,
should not have as many days as any other
it then possessed only thirty, took one
away from already shorn February and
tackled 1t on to August, leaving February
with only twenty-eight Except in leap
year, then's the time February's days are
twenty-nine."
The name February is said to be derived
from Februare, to purify, to expiate, and
Is taken from the fact of the publication
undergone by the Romans at this time
The signs Of the zodiac for this month are
Aquarius Pisces, appropriate in so far as
the month is popularity supposed to be the
wettest of the year, but incorrect statistic
ally, since two or three others frequently
show greater rainfall than does February
1t is possible, however, that the signs bore
reference to what February ought to be.
All old distiches connected with the month
agree that plenty OF rain should fall in 1t
for agricultural reasons too obvious to
mention. "A the months Of the year"
says one, Course fair Februeer." And an.
other mentions that snow is more welcome
than rain.
February fill the dyke
Either with the black or white;
II 1t be white, it's the better TO like.
Thus writes Spenser about the month:
Then came old February sitting
In an old wagon, for he could not ride,
Drawn of two fishes, for the season fitting
Candlemas Day, Feb. 2, otherwise known
as the Purification of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, has climatic traditions associated
with it, Thus says an old Scotch rhyme;
II Candlemass Day bo dry and fair,
The half o. winters to come and mair;
II Candlemass Day be wet and foul
The half o. winters game at Yule.
| This is the time to take down Christmas
decorations, reserving bit of the yule LOG
| to light the next Christmas log, and tc
preserve the house from i'll luck during
the year. II the decorations be kept up 6
day longer they will prove a source Of dis
aster to the family, as Herrick remarks:
For look, how many leaves there bo
Neglected their maids; trust to me,
So many goblins you shall see.

Long Jackets and Other Wraps.

Long jackets are more prevalent than
any other style Of wrap, but the cold
weather has brought out the long cloaks,
some of which seem to be all collars and
fur trimming. The fashionable length of
jacket cannot be said to be becoming,
and it is neither one thing nor another.
Those for smart wear are in black velvet
or seal plush, with jet pockets and cuffs,
or with rich trimming OF jet and no
pockets or cuffs. There is an attempt to
introduce nonftting jackets in rough
cloth, Astrakhan OF sealskin, but at present
there ia not much inclination for them.
They only look well on tall, slight figures
and those figures, as rule, like to show
themselves in we'll fitting jackets. The
hooded cloaks which look as If they were
cut from a large checked Angola shawl,
fringe and all, are becoming popular for
driving and travelling.

John Ruskin's Early Aehieyem ents.

At the age of seven years John Ruskin
wrote in blank verse singular essay on
"Time." The next year he wrote an invo.
cation to the sun to shine on his garden,
which is an amusing, almost pathetic,
mixture Of poetry and pathos. At the age
Of twenty he gained the Newdigate prize
for poetry, and soon after abandoned the
muse because, as he said he could not ex.
press his ideas in verse.

How Coast Tribes OF New Guinea Live.
Many of the coast tribes of New Guinea
live in pile dwellings in the sea. Upon a
strong platform raised on piles driven into
the sand they build rainproof houses of
laths of split cane and thatch the roofs
with palm leaves, The rooms are lofty, and
the better class Of dwellings are provided
with veranda in front, from which lad
der runs down to the water.
Communication with the shore is OF
course had by means of boats, one Of which
Is always kept moored to the ladder. But
why do the natives live in houses like these,
which, in spite Of their healthiness, are not
very convenientf Partly because it is ter
ribly hot on shore, but mainly because the
fierce folk that live in the bush in the inte-
rior of the great island are fond Of making
sudden attacks on the settlements along
the coast. Therefore, 10 avoid these sur
prises, the possible victims hit upon the
device of erecting their houses on piles in
the water, where, If not positively safe, they
cannot be raided unawares.

contains upward of 100000 printed books
and 1000 manuscripts. Between the I'm
perial library at st, Petersburg and the
British museum there is not much differ
