The Size of Raindrops.

How large is a drop of rain2 Probably
most people have notion that raindrops
are nearly all of one size, although it is a
matter of common observation that in
what Is called misty rain, or drizzle,
the individual drops are very small. The
question of the size of raindrops is not SO
unimportant as might be supposed, and
Mr.. E. j. Lowe has collected many facts
bearing upon it, and presented them to
the Royal Meteorological society.
He employed in his experiments sheets
of slate, made in book form so as to be
readily closed, and ruled in inch squares.
The impressions of the drops were caught
on the slate and afterward carefully copied
on paper.
He discovered that the size of raindrops
varies from speck so small as to be almost
invisible up to a diameter of two inches.
Every reader has probably noticed that
the raindrops preceding a thunderstorm
frequently assume gigantic proportions,
though he may not have suspected that
they could ever attain so great size as
Mr.. Lowe has discovered that they do.
Other interesting facts about randrops
which have been brought out by Mr. loves
experiments are that drops of the Same
size do not always contain the same amount
of water, and that some of the largest drops
are hollow.-Youth's Companion.

Counterfeit Bait.

'These little green frogs are something
new for bait" said a dealer in anglers
supplies. "They are made of soft india
rubber. Here are earthworms, also of the
same material, threaded on hooks. They
save great deal of trouble when real ones
are scarce, and young ladies provided with
them while fishing do not have occasion to
constantly annoy their male escorts with
requests that their lines be attended to.
Pike and certain other carnivorous fishes
very much enjoy a small mouse on the rare
occasions when such luxury is obtaina-
BILE, and so these little counterfeit mice are
supplied to tempt their appetites. Imitar
tions of various kinds of animals for use as
bait are becoming more numerous every
season. In this box of counterfeit insects
are grasshoppers, ladybugs, bronze and
black beetles, caterpillars and bees. 1t Is
not necessary to mention the hundreds Of
species Of moths and other bugs that are
reproduced In the shape of artificial 'fiies.'

THE MECCA OF LEISURE.
Place For Wealthy People Who Desire
Comfortable Incidence.


Washington is rapidly becoming a
favorite place of residence for people
who have made fortunes elsewhere, and
who are devoting the remainder of their
lives to having good time in a quiet
way. There is large colony of such
families, and they contribute enormous
~ to the general stock of elegant and
comfortable incidence for which the
city is noted. Then there are the re-
tired army and navy officers. Their
name is legion, and Washington is their
favorite place to live. You see them in
great numbers in the clubs, on the
thoroughfares, in society. Nor must
the widows be overlooked. There are
more widows in Washington than In
any other city in this country, size for
size. The widows of public men, OF
army and navy officers, of private citi-
zens in all ranks of life, grayitate to
the Capital City as the pleasantest place
they know of to pass the autumn of life.
The diplomatic corps comprises sever
al hundred more or less idle and fashion
able men and women. Literary and
scientific men, especially those enjoying
incomes and independence from inherit
ed or other sources, are numerous in
Washington. Always the city contains
thousands of visitors attracted by the
peculiar interest which attaches to the
seat of government.
Is it any wonder that we have here an
ease loving and an ease enjoying popu-
lation? Are you surprised that Wash
ington laziness has become proverbial
throughout the country? Do you mar
vel that our streets and avenues are rial
toes in which comfortableness, fashion,
superfciality, even insincerity, are con-
stantly displayed
The street life Of Washington Is al
ways interesting. The good dressing
gives an air Of elegance to the thorough
fares, which, with their famous shade
trees and pavements smooth and clean as
. floor, are themselves elegant. The
number Of noted men and beautiful
women to be seen in any given walk or
drive adds to the charm Of the scene
The bicycles, numbered literally by thou
sands, add the spice Of rapidity and
whirl to picture that might otherwise
lack somewhat Of acknowledgements

Tho Discover of Tea.

By whom or when the virtues Of tea as
beverage were discovered is ''lost in the
wide revolving shades of centuries passed"
The famous herb is spoken of in Chinese
annals as far back as 2,500 years B. O., at
which time its cultivation and classified
tion was as much Of an art as it is today.
Tradition says that its virtues were dis
covered by accident. King Shen Nung
She, 1.-THE Divine Husbandman," who
fourished forty centuries ago, was boiling
water over fire one evening when some
tea leaves hanging over the vessel were
loosened by the heat and fell into the
steaming fluid. Nung She partook Of the
decoction while it was hot land felt him
self renewed In limb and sight for seven
days thereafter" Then and there he con-
secrated tea as the sacred beverage Of

BIRDS WITH WARLlkE NATUREa
vindictive Robins That Attack Even Men
and. Women.

vindictive Robins That Attack Even Men
and Women.
The conduct of birds is sometimes neon.
liar and very queer. At the North End
and on the Hill are two peculiar cases m
eccentricity in robins, whose conduct ia
not less notable and perhaps less readily
understood than that of kingbird who
some years ago made her nest on the lower
branch of pear tree near North End
residence. That bird SO annoyed a little
party of young croquet players on the
lawn near the tree by flying down at them
and swapping her bill in their eyes almost.
as to break up their games. To punish
her for her impudence pole was thrust
up repeatedly by the side of the nest.
This SO angered the mother bird that
whenever that person appeared, coming
down the step on the lawn, she would fiy
at him and seem determined to peck his
eyes out. Soon she learned to fly at him
as soon as he appeared on the steps, before
he got down to the lawn-and also to
punish him in an unlocked for way; kind
of artillery practice in which the aim was
generally at the victims head-and it
rarely missed. The robin is no such bird.
But the one at the North End, evidently
the proprietor of nest of young birds near
by. is the implacable foe of particular cat.
This feline is a pet black cat, whose mis-
tress keeps him as much as possible in the
upper tenement where she lives, letting
him take sun and air up there in the open
window.
There, as soon as the robin sees him, she
