Observation Cultivated.

A novel method of cultivating the
faculty of observation in children has
been introduced by a teacher in an
uptown kindergarten. She tells her
pupils that she is about to have call
from someone who will remain only
three minutes; that no one must di-
rectly stare at him, but that the pu-
pill who gives the best description of
him after his departure will receive a
prize. The other day her father, a
Grand Army veteran in uniform, per-
formed the part Of caller, and some Of
the personal descriptions after he had
bowed himself out denoted unusually
quick and accurate attention to detail.
One boy had counted all his buttons
and gave the number correctly, an
other noticed an almost invisible scar
on his face, and various others gave
details Of the color and shape of his
beard, hair and uniform. The one
who received the prize was little
girl, who declared he had IAN express
sion on his face. - Philadelphia

One Of the most useful as it GER
tainly is one of the most interesting,
of all the exercises in the German
army is the swimming and diving
drill as it is practiced at the military
swimming baths during the summer
months. 1t is compulsory only on
the pioneers, but privates of all arms
are encouraged to practice it by small
money prizes and prospective promo
ton. The diving takes place from a
considerable height. The men taking
part in it are clothed i'm uniforms of
the oldest and least valuable descrip-
ton, and accoutred with dummy"
kits Of precisely similar size and
weight to their ordinary equipments.
Under the direction of the military
swimming-master the men mount the
steps leading to the diving-platform
in rotation, and at the word of COM
mand each takes "a header down be-
low" After more or less prolonged
interval the pioneer private "bobs up
serenely" and generally Contrary to
the expectation of the uninitiated
strangely, without having lost his
helmet or rifle and without having
disarranged his accoutrements, strikes
out across the bath for the landing
stage. The pioneers are also in
structed in the towing Of piles, stakes,
baulks of timber and trunks of trees
into position for bridge construction.

A Handy Pocket Telescope.

A very handy pocket telescope has
appeared, which closes up to the
thickness of an inch, is no heavier
than an ordinary watch and can be
carried in the waistcoat pocket. It
is said to possess the qualities of a
good powerful field or opera glass. 1t,
is opened or closed by a set of alum
inium bars, with toothed gearing.
This gives an absolutely parallel mo-
ton, and the act of opening or clos
ing by means of these bars is also the
means of focusing. 1t is claimed
that this glass is Of high power and
splendid definition, suitable for all
purposes, especially to military and
racing men, who are likely to find it
q great convenience to be able to dis
pense with the cumbersome glasses
hitherto in use.-[Chicago Record.
