MAKE YOUR OWN SNOW.
lis Curious Formation In the Full Rs VS. of
q July Sun.

q July SUM-
Two solid bodies, one yellow, sulphur,
the other black, carbon, unite under GER
tain circumstances to form a colorless
liquid called sulphide Of carbon, which
must be handled with much precaution
on account Of its great explosive prop
erty. The soluble property Of sulphide
OF carbon renders it valuable to take
spots off Of garments. If its odor is
more disagreeable than that Of benzine
Or turpentine, it has at least the advan-
tage OF being dispelled quickly in conse-
quence of the prompt evaporation of the
liquid. There is nothing equal to it to
take off spots Of paint on clothes. 1t
does not do it, however, without Great
ing great fear in persons who use it for
the first time, for they see on the very
place where, to their great pleasure, the
paint had disappeared a large white
SPOT, the nature of which is hard for
them to define, and the more they brush
the more unsightly and the larger that
white spot grows. Is then the garment
lost? No, for fortunately after few
moments the spot melts away never to
show again. It was snow and nothing
more The sulphide of carbon in evapo-
rating takes heat from the cloth and
surrounding air, and the result Of that
is sudden lowering of temperature suf-,
fcient to freeze the vapor of the atmos-
pierre
Without operating on your clothes
you may make the experiment in the
following way: Fill small vial with
sulphide of carbon, taking great care to
do it far from all flame OF heated stove.
Then close the bottle with a cork stopper
through which you have previously bored
small hole In this hole place piece
of plotting paper made up into small
roll The paper must reach to the bot
tom of the bottle and about an inch
above the cork. Within Is minutes you
will see the outside of this paper cover
ed with snow, the quantity of which
gradually increases. The liquid has risen
through the pores of the paper as the oil
Of lamp through the wick When it
gets to the open air, it evaporates, and
the water contained in the surrounding
atmosphere being brought to a temper
allure below 80 degrees, has been frozen.
Ii you divide the paper outside Of the
bottle into several pieces, you obtain
flowers and most charming effects. You
may make the experiment in summer
and in the full rays of the sun. The re-
suit will be obtained then more prompt
ly, evaporation being more abundant

Killing CrOcOlileS.

''There are two ways of killing croc-
odiles," writes an ex-resident Of India.
zone is by shooting with rifle, but the
most satisfactory way Of dealing with
them, besides being far the most sport
ing, is to bait good large hook with
bird or small animal and fasten it by
a chain to a good long rope the end Of
which is firmly picketed, the rope being
coiled and the bait laid in shallow wa
ter. There must be lots of slack line, as
the crocodile does not swallow anything
at once, but seizes it and takes it into
deep water to gorge. A number Of lines
may be laid and looked up in the morn
ing Or cool of the evening. When hook
ed, it will take a good many men to
haul crocodile out, and as he resents
the operation and can use his tail as
well as his jaws one or two sportsmen
will find considerable entertainment in
dispatching him with spears. Some croc-
odiles grow to an enormous size, and
their nlaws always contain round white
stones, and often trinlSets, the relics of
inside passengers. The writer assisted

large 'snubnose' which had six women's

The Thirteen Superstition.

The inevitable 13 superstition came
upin a company Of which I was one the
other day. In my own experience that
foolish superstition has been knocked
out SO often that rather enjoy sitting
down to dinner with 13. Once sat at
a table with Sir Arthur Sullivan, the
composer, as host There were Is COW
ers, it was the 18th of May, and the oc-
casion was the thirteenth performance
Of Sullivan and Gilbert's "Iolanthe. "
Of course nothing came Of it. Another
time dined with the Thursday club Of
Philadelphia at roadside inn on the
Wissahickon. It was discovered that
there were IS at table, and one Of the
party being superstitious the landlord
was asked to come in and make the
fourteenth. He did so, and the result
was that he and not one of the Is died
before the year was out This is the
nearest ever came to having vertical
ton of the superstition within my OBJ
servation. Major Handy in Chicago

SOWING AND REAPING.

For bloom we sow one sort Of seed,
Another answers hunger's need.

But leave abundant seed behind,

You're sure to reap just what you SOW.
A youth, industrious and pure,
With noble aims. is promise sure
Of proud achievements heritage,
Of worthy manhood, honored age,
And, doth the harvest ripen slow,
You're sure to reap just what you SOW.

To see the needs of heart or mind.
A wilderness OF tares appears

From evil seed good will not grow
You're sure to reap just what you SOW.
