The Talisman of Happiness.

There are probably very few people
who know what true happiness really
is, for most of us taste so little of il
that we hardly know its composition.
Many of us think we are happy when
we are the most wretched beings alive.
Some are happy in the poorest sur
roundings, bowed down by cares and
griefs that others would stagger under,
and one wonders how they get along
with their burdens. Inquiry and in
vcstigation will show n contented
mind, perhaps, that knows no better.
but that is contented-and that word,
.'contentment," contains the secret
talisman of pure happiness in this
world.-Detroit Free Press

FAMOUS METEoRIc STONES.

Rhd Ha, Found In Greenland.
A meteoric stone, Witch is described
by Pliny IS being as large as d Hason'
fell near Egospotami in Asia Minor In
467 Il. c. About A. ID. 1900 a stone
weighing one thousand four hundred
pounds fell in Mexico and is now in
the Smithsonian institution at Wash
ington. The largest meteoric masses
OH record were heard of first by Capt.
| Ross, the Arctic explorer, through
some Esqimo. These lay on the
west coast of Greenland and were sub
se1hently f5und by the Swedish ex-
ploring party Of 1870 One of them,
row in the Royal museum OF Stock
holm, weighs over fifty thousand
pounds and is the largest specimen
known.
Two remarkable meteorites have
fallen n Iowa within the past twenty
years February II, 1895, an exceed
ingly brilliant meoter, in the form of
an elongated horseshoe, was seen
throughout a region of at least four
hindted miles in length and two hun
dred and fifty in breadth, lying in Mis-
souri, and Iowa. 1t is described as
without a tail, but having a flowing
jacket of flame. Decorations We're
heard so violent as to shake the earth
and to jar the windows like the shock
of an earthquake" as it fell about
half-past ten in the evening, a few
miles east of MarengO, Ia. The ground
for the space of some seven miles in
length by two to four miles in
breadth. was strewn with fragments
of this metecr varying in weight from
a few ounces to sceenty-four pounds.
On May 10, 1879, a large and extraOr-
dinarily luminous me0ter exploded
with terrific noise, followed at slight
intervals with less violent detOnatiOns,
and struck the earth in the edge of n
ravine near Esterville. Emmett county,
Ia, penetrating to Il depth of fourteen
feet.
Within two miles other fragments
were found, one of which weighed one
hundred and seventy pounds. and an
other thirty-two pounds The princi-

thirty-one pounds. All the discovered
parts aggregated about six hundred
pounds. The one of one hundred and
seventy pounds is o in the cabinet
of the state university of Minnesota.
The composition of this aerolite is
peculiar in many respects: but, as in
nearly all aeroiites, there is consider
able proportion of iron and nickel.
1t is generally held that meteors at
one time or another formed internal
parts of a comet. The meteor enters
the earth's atmosphere from without
with a velocity relative to the earth
that is comparable with the earth's
tclocitv in its orbit. which is nineteen
miles per second. by the resistance it
meets in penetrating the air. the light
and other phenomena of the luminous
train are produced. Many small me

they reach the earth's surface.-San

zontal supports should be made of
rather thick stuff, in order to secure
the best results. On one of the side
pieces a hopper is placed to hold the
nuts. These fall down between the
support and wheel, where the distance
should be such as to give the right
amount of pressure. The inventor ad-
vises roughening the surface wheel,
either by digging cutters in it with a
chisel or mailing IN thin cleats. There
isn't mrch fun in attempting to do
either of these two things with an oak
plank, but the former is probably the
