An Optical Illusion.


If you want good ending TO a little
party, take all the guests into the dining
room and turn out the gas. Make them
all sit around the table, in the middle of
which place soup plate. In the soup
plate put some common salt and little
alcohol. Light the alcohol, and then look
at each others faces. They will look
natural at first, but as the alcohol burns
out and the salt becomes ignited the fame
changes from yellow to blue, and the
changes in the faces are very startling.
They all take on CHASTITY look. Eyes
stick out, and the skin looks as though
drawn tight like parchment. Then the
faces become almost black, and when the
fame dies out and you go out into a
lighted room you uncoDsciously try to
wipe the black off But it doesn't come.
It's all the light from the salt.

Preserving shingled Roofs.

From the American Agriculturist.
If durability in a shingled roof is the
point desired, thoroughly coat the surface
during dry time with all the linseed oil,
either boiled or raw, that the shingles will
absorb This is the cheapest plan to fol-
low, and is thoroughly and expeditiously
accomplished by the use of knapsack or
common pail spray pump. The operator
stands upon ladder or near the caves of
the roof, much of the oil is thereby thrown
up under the butts of the shingles, enough
oil being applied SO that some of it will
flow into the gutter, aud by placing ves-
sci under the discharge pipe this surplus
oil is not lost, By applying when the roof
is very dry you will be surprised at the
amount the shingles absorbed, sawed shin
giles takingin more than those cut or shaved.
Many use crude petroleum, as it is very
eheap, and at the same time effective,
Linseed oil does not give the roof streaked
appearance. IL simply gives it a dark hue,
and for few months quite glossy look.
adding many years to its efficiency. A roof
that has been laid several years, is in just
the condition for the application of OIL If
a roof must be painted do not use black
or any similar color, which absorbs much
heat from the direct rays of the sun. This
in turn causes expansion, contracting when
cool, condition injurious to the fiber of
wood, coating of paint, or metal itself,

A steamer on Mule.Rack.
From the New York World.

A triumph in engineering is reported
from the mountains of Peru, where
twin-screw steamer of $40 tons, l7O feet
long and 40 feet wide has been successfully
lauached on Lake Titacaca, the highest
navigable waters in the world, more than
10000 feet above the sea- This steamer,
which belongs to sthe Peruvian Govern
ment. and is to be used for freight and
passenger traffic, was built on the Clyde,
then taken apart in more than 1000 pieces
and shipped to Mollendo by sea. It was
then carried to Puno by railway and
transported over the mountains on the
backs Of Llamas and mules and put
together by a Scotch engineer.

Newspaper Growth.

As an illustration of the enormous de
velopment of newspapers in the United
States it is related that in 1880 the news
paper and press ASSOCIATIONS received only
$4,000, 1000 words BY telegraph, while last
year they received BY wine 1900, 100000
words, Very few persons have adequate
conception Of the marvellous newspaper
development that has taken place even dur
ing the last five years In this regard New

A story is told of two Irishmen who
were caught asleep one night in the loft of
burning building. One of them hastily
drew on his trousers and jumped from the
window. In his fright and hurry he had
unconsciously pulled on the garment wrong

he recovered his equilibrium after the
jump, excited his profound CONSERVATION

In memory OF Leo,
A faithful dog,
who was shot August 30, 1868.
Sic transit gloria neandi.
Every dog must have his day,
He had his and passed away.
He did not drain life's bitter cup
Has dog days were to be so short;
Poor fellow little had he thought
Death took him when he was pup,
And laid him here beneath the sod,
As good dog as ever trod.
He sought for happiness in vain
But found all pleasures mixed with pa n;
And when his joy gave away to sadnelss
He groaned and people deemed it mad
ness;
He had the stomachache so bad
He howled, and then they said, "He's
mad !"
And shot poor Leo by mistake
Because he had the bellyache.
He died without fault-he left no foes,
And one fierce struggle closed his earthly
woes"
