A Funny Thing.

.fNne Of The funniest things at the

ent hantie warmer. a perforated metal
article. tr:mpet-shaped and made to
go in the aollow ends Of a handle bar.
Heat is generated in the handle BIZ
m cans of a specially prepared cart
ridge. which will give out sufficient
heat to Ieep the hand warm for three
hours, waile a warming pad was also
shown for attaching to the handle bar
is a kird of auxiliary apparatus. The
furious thing about the continuance is
that no provision is made for fixing
the was ,ner in the handle bar. The ar
ticle is merely stuck in like a cork,
and, being tapered, it threatens to tum-
BILE out at the least jar. The inven-
tor apparently overlooked the fact that
there are now very few opcn-ended
handle bars, so that the ready adapta-
ton OF his device seems purely i'm
aginarv. and the practicability of it is
very much open to doubt"

" o/ lish racing m e q,
which is told of as
follows: "As the
French have re-
duced pacemaking to an art, SO have
they allowed it to become a crying
abuse. Two or three years ago, when
long-distance riding was extremely
popular, the pacemakers had things
pretty well their own way, and became
masters of the situation. While they
are good servants. however, the pace
that they were indispensable they put
the screw on every one who required
their services. They scoffed at the
idea of taking reasonable fees, and
their extortions became SO great that
some of the makers would have moth
ing to do with them, while the track
managers found that their demands
were in~supportable, SO that as a nat
ural result long and medium distance
racing was gradually dropped, and
matches and sprint races took their
place. Since then the pacemakers have
been in a very bad way, indeed, and
of late they have been exhorting the
manager of the winter track to organ
lie long-distance racing so as to give
them a chance to make a living. Re
duced to this extremity, it is not sur
prising that they should have let out
a cry of rage when one day a team of
thirty or more pacemakers arrived in
Paris from England. The Frenchmen
appealed to the racing men syndicate,
they appealed to the track manager.
and said that the Englishmen should
never be allowed to appear on the
tracks, eve if they paced only their
own countrymen. Things arrived at
such a pitch that an open conflict be-
tween the English and French PAGERS
was feared. In this emergency the
manager of the Englishmen visited
Paris to see how matters stood, and
rather than be a party to n disturb
ance he took the whole team back to
England. The Frenchmen thus breathe
over their victory, but 1t is not one
to be particularly proud of. Before
leaving the English PAGERS received a
challenge from the Frenchmen to a
race, but the Britons replied that If
the treatment they had already got
was a taste of what was to come when
they appeared before the public, they
would refuse to race in France, but
they We're perfectly willing to meet the
Frenchmen in London"

BLUE COLOR OF LAKES.
Discussion in its Tinting What gives
This Water its Reflective Power?

1t is generally agreed that pure
water, as in many of the deepest lakes,
ia blue; and it is US ally supposed that
the greenish tint common to other
waters is given. to them by yellowish
matter held in suspension, while an ex-
cess of such matter turns them yellow.
The explanation, while Carl VOgt
regards it as correct as to the color of
the water, is not accepted by NJ W..
Spring as sufficient to account for lakes
looking blue. says Popular Science
Monthly, for if their water is wholly
pure and quiet, it will absorb the mass
of light, rejecting little or none and
look black. What gives the water its
reflective power? Some suppose the
existence of colorless solid matter in
the water like the duet that makes
visi BILE the diffused light of the etmOs-
pbere.
That cause is admitted to be a DOS
-ible one; but Mr.. Spring has satisfied
himself by experiment that water alb
-olutely pure will also reflect the light
if the mass is composed of layers of
different temperatures that give rise
to convection currents. This con-
clusion is supported by observation.
Professor F. A. Forel has found that
fresh water lakes are more transparent
in winter than in summer, as they
'uoulu Ue ny NIL OpriuS Iuoory, uc-
cause in summer the difference in
temperature between the suafsce and
the layers beneath is greater. Thus
the remains of the lake jewellers can be
seen on the bottoms of the Swiss lakes
in winter at places where they are not
at all visible 10 summer.
Professor FOrel thinks this is be-
cause there is more dust in them TO OBJ
scure the view in summer than in
winter: but there is no reason why
this should be, while the disturbance
by convection currents is necessarily
much greater in the warm season. Mr..
Spring does not interpret this theory
"a excluding any of the others, but as
supplementing them.-Kansas City

The Twentieth Century.

Chauncey M. Depew was one of the
late speakers at the banquet of the
Congregational club of Washington.
In closing his speech he said: For
the twentieth century the mission of
the United States is peace; peace that
it may capture the markets of tho
world; peace, that it may find the
place where its surplus products, not
only of food, but of labor, can meet
with profitable return. President
Mckinley has struck the keynote of
the expanding policy of our country
and recognized that our mission has
changed from internal development t
purely to external commerce., In the
note which he has sounded 90 loudly
and so clearly for peace.
Thus the twentieth century will re-
verse the nineteenth, the eighteenth,
the seventeenth and the sixteenth, and
the United States will enter hopefully
upon it's larger mission. God grant that
we. may see America reach out on the
lines set down by our forefathers in the
conquest of the world.
