Millions of Frogs Rain Down.

One of the most curious phenomena
of nature is the precipitation of frogs,
fish, crabs, angleworms, ETC.. with
rain from the clouds. The story is told
in the annals of the French academy
and may be found in the August num-
Der, 1904. The narrative is by one Pro-
fessor Pontus. In it he gives an account
of an instance of millions of frogs which
fell in shower near Toulouse. He
states that he himself saw numerous
young frogs on the coats of two gentle
men who were out in the shower Pro-
fessor Pontus says that he forthwith
repaired to the spot where the storm
had burst and found the roads and
fields literally alive with young frogs
and tadpoles. "In some places" says
the professor, "tbey were three or four
deep all over the ground, and the hoofs
of the horses and the carriage wheels
killed thousands of them.

She Was Prepared.

A certain minister always felt il 10
be his duty to give each young couple a
little serious advice before he per-
formed the marriage ceremony, and for
this purpose he usually took them aside,
one at time, and talked very soberly
to each Of them regarding the great i'm
portance Of the step they were 10 take
and the new responsibilities they were
to assume. One day he talked in his
most earnest manner for several min
utes to young woman who had come
TO be married to "a bright looking young
man.
And now" he said in closing, 81

Books Which Come High.

A writer in a critical review says
that half of the book buying public
does not know what the other half
buys. All the books that are published
are by no means to be found in the
bookstores The most beautiful and
costly books never find their way into
the shops at all. are not sent out for re-
view and are known to very limited
number of people. Immense sums are
yearly spent on the making of such
books, which bring from 500 to 81, 900
each. These expensive volumes are not
sold in the ordinary way, but entirely
by subscription, and the business of
selling them in the United States is in
the hands Of about half a dozen men,
who neither sell nor attempt to sell
anything else. Their season is short,
but the profits are large, and they live
at the most expensive hotels and drive
about luxuriously in broughams with a
man servant in attendance to carry the
books.

CUBE ROOT MADE EASY.
Eow Amy Bright Scholar May Learn 20
Tell IL Ofhand.


To find the cube root of any given
number Of dgures ofIhand seems an al
most impos ible feat, but yet it is sim
pie enough when one knows how 10 do
it-so simple, i4Gecd. that any bright
boy can learn TO co II few weeks.
First he must Know exactly what a
cube is-namoly, that it is the result
Of multiplying one number by itself
and then multiplying the product by the
original number Thus, multiplied
by 3 equals ., and o multiplied by 3,
the original number, produces "a, which
consequently is the cube of 3. The cube
root Of "a Is the original number, 3,
and to find the cube root is the reverse
of finding the cube. The would be adept
at this art should first study carefully
the following figures:
lXlXl= 2><2%2= s><8<3= q
4XlX4= "a 5%5%5=l25 6>>G>C=2l6
7x7>7=243 S<S%s==5l2 0><q><g=729
A close study of these figures shows
that 2 multiplied in this manner by it.
self results in s, that multiplied by
itself has as "a final figure, that null
tiplied by itself has as final figure.
that multiplied by itself has as a
final figure, and that 4 5, & and 8 mul-
tlplled by themselves have their GTigi-
nal figures AZ finals Hence the artist
knows that any sum given to him the
final figure Of which is must have z
as cube root; that IT the final figure
be g. the cube root must be y, and SC
on.
For example. give brm the figures
"A. 0SS, and he can at once tell that ~
Is the ruhe root, for the reason that "A
has 4 as cube root. as the cube of is
Cd, while the cube of 3 Is I25. much
more than "a. and OoS has as cube
root
Or give him q more difficult problem,
as, for example, the figures 1924 1863.
Then he will sec at glance that 324 il
more than ZIG, which rs the cube Of 6,
but is less than 343, the cube of z
Therefore the cube rG0t Of these three
figures is &. In like manner the final
| figure of 800 being 8, il follows that tho
cube root of these three figures is 9, and
thus the cube root Of the six figures has
been shown TO be 90
Any one can test tins method fOI
himself, and IA little practice is all that
is needed to make one as def in sucl
jugglery of figures az the best light
ming calculator "
OF course skilled arithmeticiau
could easily frame problems that could
not be solved III this otfhand fashion,
but such difficult tests are seldom offered
by public audiences, and, as ii rule, the
artists are easily able to answer al
the questions asked Of them. New

l.nrd l'niIl.erst On

A minister who kept race horses
and had at his command ii good store at
very blunt vernacuIar, who could not
be got to admit that he understood an
abstract thought. who always knew
what he wanted and was determined tn
carry it out regardless of the opinions
of others, who conceived his own ideas
to be superior to those Of other people,
who never looked farther than tomorrow
and much preferred not 20 think beyond
this evening, but who at the same time
was determined to establish the privi-
lege of an Englishman to the sidewalk
all over the world, while men of other
nations might step into the gutter
this minister represented aspirations
which had long ago sickened under the
rounded periods intended to convince
humanity that bread and calico summed
up their total requirements and were
more sufficient for rational happiness
This was the popular conception OF
Palmerston when, in 1865, he became
first minister of the crown. Yoke OF
