,oH. FOR A LIBERTY BELLl o
Mexico Wants One and Will Either Fad
or Mako One.

Mexico Wants One and Will Either Fad
or Mako One.
Lexican newspapers suggested some
time ago that the American liberty
bell should be put on exhibition at the
worlds fair to be held in the City OF
Mexico, says the New York World. One
or two other newspapers had something
to say about the project and then a ma
tive patriot rushed into print with the
proposition that Mexico should get a
liberty bell of her own. The hint bore
the traces of inspiration and the COM
munity was Immediately afiame with
the bell fever.
There was no authentic record that
any particular bell was rung upon the
occasion of Mexico gaining her lnde-
pendence, but It was established De-
yond peradventure that there were
bells in Mexico at the memorable GATE.
An eminent scholar in one OF the IN
terror cities made long and laborlous
search Of the national archives. result
ing in the discovery that before. at the
time or soon after the federal lnde-
pendence any one OF dozen Dels
might have been rung. The populace
went wild over this important reveal
ton and it was the unanimous voice
of the nation that if the bells were not
rung when slavery's shackles were I'M
fettered, at any rate they ought to nave
been. And therefore Mexico must have
its liberty bell.
At this particular juncture fervid
poet paraphrased the classics and let
drop a motto that was greedily seized
upon by the people. "Aut campanam
inveniam, aut faciam," he sung, and,
taking up the cry, the populace swore
they would either find bell or make
one.
In order that no time should be
wasted, with the national exhibition
only few months of, it became nee
essary to prepare for both alternatives.
Several enthusiastic gentlemen charged
themselves with the duty of supplying
the national want by having a NICE
clean liberty bell made to order. This
much assured, a group Of nOne-the-iess-
arduous patriots have set to work to
Illustrate the labors of the other party
by finding just such an old bell as
would fill the bill to perfection.

About . wo.dersul New Kite.


There surely never was anything
quite so remarkable in its way as the
new kite. which is about to be employed
by the weather bureau for studying
the almost unknown regions Of the up
Der air. 1t would astonish the best
informed small boy. One would hard
" imagine that such a thing could
possibly fy. 1t looks more like SER
les Of dry goods boxes strung togeth-
er than like a kite. The boxes. how
ever, are Of silk, and they have no
tops or bottoms. A string Of five OF
them weighs only twenty-five ounces.
the frame work being Of very light
sticks Of wood. But you ought to see
the machine 90 up. It doesn't ny like
an ordinary kite: 1t goes up into the
air with . rush and scars far aloft like
. lowering bird. almost without per
coptible motion.

machine, says the Washington Star.
Is s. A. Potter Of the weather bureau
stan. Tho idea from which it is de-
rived was original with an Australian
experimenter named Hargrave. Like
the Potter kite, Hergrave's flyer con-
sists in its simplest form of two box
es, topless and bottom!ess, joined to-
gether by a frame Of wood. But the
boxes are rectangular, whereas those
OF Mr.. Potter's kite are diamond
shaped. BY this modification of form
Mr.. Potter is enabled to make his frame
ever so much lighter. so that the whole
affair weighs scarcely more than \
pound. Any boy can make such kite
and fly it far more easily than one Of
the ordinary sort. 1t flies itself. one
might say, requiring only to be tossed
into the air where there is fair breeze
blowing. The Potter kite has several
times the lifting power of the common
kite, possessing four plain surfaces In
stead Of one.
By means of kite observations it is
intended to make a sort of map of the
atmosphere, which may be valuable
to engineers Of flying machines when
practically completed, just rs charts
are useful to sailors. BY means Of
them it will be easy to determine what
currents of air are likely to be met
with at various heights. 1t is mag
ined that kite flying on scientific prin-
ciples may be serviceable in future
war. A camera sent up on a line OF
kites may be utilized to take photo
graphs of the enemy's forces and for

An Amusing Toy from England.

A very peculiar and fascinating me-
chanical toy is being sent to this cOun-
try from Europe. Inside round metal
box-just about the size and shape Of
an old shaving box-a spring works a
rapidly revolving pivot. which just
protrudes through the top of the box.
To work the toy the magic box is
placed on level surface and held with
the left hand. With the right a small
bar is withdrawn slowly to it's full ex
tent, and then returned straightly and
smartly into its former position. This
sets the mechanism in motion. Now
place one of the wires or small tins,
or dancing figures, on the surface of the
box, so that it touches the side Of the
small pivot, and the toy will operate.
The figure placed on top is mounted
on an irregularly shaped stand made
Of metal slightly magnetized. The
magnetic draws the wire frame of the
figure to the revolving pivot, while the

obilvious OF all the rest of the world.
But among hockey players they are
quite the thing. In appearance they
are not things of beauty. They look
clumsy and unmanageable, but in re-
aiity they are very light. The only
steel in their makeup is a narrow run
ner, not a sixteenth of an inch thick,
which is almost concealed between two
strips of aluminium. In comparison
with the broad edge of the common
skate the runner looks like the blade Of
knife.

A Stiff Drink.

One reason l stopped drinking,
Said the man from Lafayette,
Is no matter what you call for
You can't tell what you get.
It was in July of ninety-four.
While travelling in the West,
l witnessed what I'll not forget
Till am laid to rest.
The run was long and tiresome.
The scenery not sublime,
So game of cards was started,
Just to pass away the time.
The players, four in number.
Were travelling men, 1 think:
Two sold liquor, one cigars.
And one sold printers ink.
Across the isle a stranger sat
Who hadn't much to say.
He smoked when the cigars were passed
And calmly watched the play.
Tell you what" said the liquor man:
In my case I've something nice.
We'd have most delicious drink
If only had some Ice
''Ill get the ice." the stranger slid
And he started for the door.
He soon returned with basketful
And placed it on the flcoi.
The drummer then mixed up drink.
And tell you it was fine
It made us all quite sociable
And the stranger was right in line.
Several trips the stranger made
And of as many drinks had share.
He finally came with basket full
And said it was all he could spare.
Its just like this" the stranger said.
And his voice was low and deep:
1--WE got corpse in the baggage car.
And I'm afraid the thing won't keep"
