Soap Bubbles.

2 M. Larn has communicated to the
Academy Of Sciences new method for
obtaining soap bubbles lasting a much
longer time than those obtained from
the soap water generally used He has
recourse to a resinous soap made by the
following formula: Pulverize together
10 grams Of pure rosin and 10 parts
Of carbonate Of potash; add 100 parts of
water and boil until complete solution.
We obtain in this way thick solution
which may be kept In stock to be diluted
for use with from four TO i've times its
volume of water. It can be kept indefi-
nitely even when exposed to the air. The
bubbles produced are very persistent and
consequently can be made useful in the
study of phenomena relating to thin
lamine and in making photographs in
which soap bubbles play part.

Tides In the Atmosphere,

Distinct tides in the atmosphere, cor
responding to those of the sea and pro-
dueed twice daily by lunar attraction.
have been traced by NJ. Bouquet de La
Grye tn the barometric records Of sta
eions removed from powerful local dis
tuxbances. The recorded observations Of
Brest, ST. Helena, Cape Horn, Batavia
and Singapore give positive evidence Of
a regular ebb and flow according to the
moons position. The effect is slight,
but measurable, the greatest atmos-
pheric tide at Brest being shown by a
movement Of one-quarter Of an inch in
q water barometer, which is equivalent
to about one-fiftieth Of an inch In the
mercury barometer. The tide seems to
bear about the same ratio to the weight
Of the atmosphere that the sea tide bears
to the depth Of the ocean.

there are just three books that everybody

Mother Goose" "A thorough knowl-
edge Of those masterpieces, she says,

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

4 farmer dropped two grains Of corn
In the cold dark earth one April morn.
Together they sank in their cheerless bed,
And the earth fell lightly overhead.
ION, cruel fatel" cried one in fear.
"What evil chance has brought me herei
1t is not meet that such rs
Lie In the earth to waste and die.
Within this stone a nice dry shelf
Invites me to take care of myself"
The warm sun shone, and the soft rain fell
The grain In the earth began to swell
The wise one cried from its snug retreat:
"How prudent am II No rain nor heat
Can reach me here. I'm fair as at first,
While you, poor thing look ready to burst.
You owe duty to yourself
There's room for two ON this dry shelf.
Come out Of the earth so close and wet,
Perhaps you may save yourself even yet"
"Nay," answered the other one from tn,
earth,
"Only from pain and death comes birth.
OF such as we spake the Holy One,
Except 1t die 1t abideth alone
But If seed of common grain
Die In the earth, it's death is gain
bo let me yield in patient trust
To the hand that laid me in the dust"
eeptember's fields stand brown and sere,
Now comes the "full corn In the ear"
The grain that died in the darksome mold
Has yielded more than hundredfold,
While that which cared for itself SO wen
Lies alone in the earth, an empty shell.

a hound belonging to her husband went
mad, broke his chain and made dash
at one Of Mrs. Kirshoffer's sons. He tore
the boys clothes, but fortunately did not
bite hard enough to break the skin
Mrs Kirshoffer rushed to her sons aid,
and the dog turned on her and bit her,
but her clothes were too thick for him
to break the skin. She then picked the
dog up by the collar, carried him to the
cellarway, threw him down the steps
and closed the door. Mr.. Kirshoffer
came home later and shot him.

CUP STILL WITH US.

NEW YORK, Sept. GO.--The international
challenge cup offered by the Seawanhaka-
Corinthian Yacht club OF New York for
half.rnters has been successfully defended,
and will remain on this side OF the At
lantic until some other country sends over
faster boat than Spruce ~, owned and
sailed by j. A. Brand, clever sailor, who
came over here from the Minina Yacht
club OF England to capture It.
The match concluded Saturday con-
sisted of best three out OF 1ve races sailed
over the Long Island Sound course OF the
Seawanhaka club. The yacht selected to
defend the cup was the Ethelwynn q the
India Harbor Yacht club, and she WAS not
chosen until the committee had IA se.Ses of
races among the half-raters 10 find out
which was the boat to use in American In
terests. Thus everything was as formal
as though the Defender and another big
yacht were to be the contestants.
The courses were all - miles In length,
the first and third were To ieeward and re-
turn, three miles TO the leg and repeat the
second being the triangular, two miles t.
the leg and over again.
The first race was won by the American
and the second by the Briton. On the
third day the Ethelwynn withdrew after
making one round.
In the last two races, when the Yankee
was handled by the Ball brothers, her
best qualities were drought OUT and she
won hands down. 1t should be said, how
ever, that the victory OF the American
only carries out the opinion Of the Spruce
skipper, who said on Tuesday last that
he believed the Ethelwyni. was the better
boat. Mr.. Brand did not mean to init
mate that ne expected or hoped 20 win by
superior handling but all yachtsmen who
have watched tho Spruce In these races,
agree that the English skipper is as capa-
