Can you stand seven corks upright in
water? Not unless you know how. This
is the way to do it: Stand one of the corks
upright on the table, arrange the other six
close about it, also in IN upright position,
grasp the combination in one hand and
plunge it into the water in the tub so rs TO
completely saturate the coris; then raise
them partly out of the water and let go
your hold The water which has penc.
trated between the corl;s by capillarity will
hold them closely together, and though
separately each cork has an unstable equi
libnum, the combination obtained in this
way will keep them steady, the width of
our improysed raft being more than the
height of one cork. Boston Globe.

Psalms, "Thou shalt not be afraid of the
terror by night" reads, "Thou shalt not

A Turk had fallen into a well. A Jew
ran for ladder to get him out.
"No, no." said the son of the Crescent,
II am not going to climb your ladder, as
this is Friday, the day consecrated to
Allah"
In spite of his ontroaties the Jew had to
go away and leave the Turk padding in
the water up to his chin.
The next day the jew went to see how
the disciple of Mahomet had spent the night.

A couple of Norwegian engineers have
invented an iceboat that is constructed
upon different plan from those ordinarily
in use. The ice is not broken by ramming

circular saws that are placed below the ice
Another apparatus thrusts the ice thus cut
