A Simple Came.

A game which is both amusing aud
instructive, and which can be played
without pencil, paper or paraphernalia
Of any sort, has been enjoyed by party
OF bright young people at a summer
boarding house.
The game is simply this: One mem
Der Of company-which may consist
Of any number of people from two mp
wards to give out in their proper or
der the first three letters of a word
which he has in his mind, and which
the company are TO Ruess. For instance,
he may have in bis mind the word ca
lamity, in which case ho announces, Il
think of word which begins CAL"
AS fast as one of the others thinks Of
q word beginning with those letters he
presents it orally for approval There is
no method in the group of euessers as
to the order in which they speak, so
that whenever two people hit upon the
right word simultaneously, both receive
credit for it, in cnse they announce their
guesses at the same moment
The difficulty and interest of the
game are much increased by placing a
limit upon the number of letters which
the word shall contain. The party of
young people referred to above limited
the number to eight. This. of course,
makes IL more difficult TO find a word
which will puzzle the guessers.
Two prizes are usually assigned-one
10 the person who guesses the largest
number Of words correctly and the other
TO the one who has given the greatest
number of words which have puzzled
the guessers for five minutes or more.
"B-e-a" puzzled a group of bright
people who were much amused when it
at last appeared that beau" had been

after much guessing, elongated into
canoe" and "p-u-r" into purity"
Tho shortest and most ordinary words
often prove the most puzzlipg, owing to
some popularity of their formation

Boiler Rust.

Tho peculiar fact is noted by engineers
that the rust found In the interior of n
boiler Is, under any circumstances, of n
different character from ordinary iron
rust. 1t Is Of a much darker color, that
formed In tho upper spaces by steam alone
being almost black, partaking of the ma
ture of that black magnetic oxide which
is formed In what Is known as the Bart
process by steam heated TO 940 degrees #
The latter oxide Is OF course, completely
protective when once formed. and the OK
ides formed In the interior of boiler, al
though not of n protective nature. are.
Notwithstanding. far less corrosive in their
action than those taking place under or
binary circumstances. The corrosion OF
the interior, when not assisted bv adhesive
deposits and organic acids from the lubri.

card must be large enough 10 extend
just over the edge Of the glass all
around.
Let the card remain on the glass for
half an hour or so, and you will then
see that the moist vapor rising from the
liquid has caused the card TO swell or
arch in the center. Then take the card
carefully by one Of its corners and re-
place IL on the glass, with the arcbed
side reversed.
Having cut out of paper the figure Of
little man, and inserted it in a slit in
the top Of a vial cork. place the cork
carefully upon the center Of the card
and wait. Presently the moist vapor
will make the card swell in the opposite
direction, and, with little clap, up
will fly your manikin and your cork

The managers of the Theatre Francois
