MINIATURE wATERsPouT.
Experiment which Any boy Can Try with
Apparatus Made by Hims IF.


Apparatus Made by Hims IF.
We often hear of the natural phenom-
enon of the waterspout-that great
column of water ascending from the
ocean to the clouds in seeming defiance
of the law of grayitation. For the bene-
fit of those who would like to have
waterspout of their own this article will
show how one may be made artiticially,
in miniature, by means of very neat
and interesting experiment.
First, however, it will be well for the
expermenter to consider the necessary
conditions of the original. He must
have water heated to degree that will
just allow n vapor to arise, and he must
provide some mechanical means to pro-
duce that gyratory motion of the air
which will whip the ascending vapor
into shape.
First secure strong oblong box open
ut the top; this should be fastened firm
~ to table. This box should be about
three feet in height and two feet square
at the bottom, with one of it's sides of
glass, so as to give view of the'experi-
ment; and the whole must be perfectly
water tight. Over the top construct u
sort of bridge or frame of wood about
one inch thick and four inches i'm width,
connecting the two opposite sides OF
the box three or four inches above the
level of the top. Then, directly in the
center of your frame and beneath it,
fix a small paddle wheel with four
fanges about four inches long; bring
the axle up through the frame, and at
tach it to the other end of n very small
grooved wheel.
You must then provide highly
geared motive power in the shape of =

ers, and probably create diversion of
sentiment in favor of this bird of ill
omen. to learn that he loves to be clean,
and will even brave immersion in the
cold water of the Mississippi river in
order to effect it.
On n warm and sunny day a large
flock of the black vultures will assemble
on a shelving, sandy bank or heap of
driftwood, apparently for the express
purpose of doing what the negroes who
live along the batture call washing
their clothes"
One by one they drop down out of the
sky at the meeting-place, each new ar
rival taking up position, and keeping
il in decorous and detected silence.
They usually select spot at which
there is n partially sunken log, and after
large number are assembled, one of the
company will march gravely out on the
half-submerged log, while the others
sit motionless in their places.
When the bather reaches the water,
il is funny to watch him. AS his feet
touch IL he raises himself on tiptoe. and
steps gingerly, shuddering at the cold
contact; but he wades bravely in, and as
he goes deeper and deeper his feathers
rise on end, and he looks q picture of
comic distress.
He means business, however, and
keeps resolutely on, until he is COM
pletely submerged except his head.
Then he washes himself, precisely as
duck does. Tapping his wings, rubbing
and rufiiing himself, and dancing up
and down in the water until his feath-
ers are thoroughly saturated. This ac-
complished, he marches sadly out
much more distressful object than ever,
shakes himself like dog. and "hangs
himself up to dry" by spreading his
great wings in the sunlight and stand
ing like a statue for perhaps an hour.
while his brethren each go through the
same performance. one by one, until
the whole company are standing with
outsprcad wings in the hot sun.
This singular spectacle is familiar
one In the haunts of the black vulture,
and, next to his grcat utility in remov-
ing noxious substances from the earth,
is the strongest argument can find to
recommend him to the esteem of man.

a oEeuTANTE's WARDROBE.
Suitable Gowns and Wraps for Young
Society Girls.

Suitable Gowns and Wraps for Young
Society Girls
An important gown for the young girl
just out in society is the one to be worn
on the street-one not too elaborate for
morning walk and still smart enough
for n luncheon or afternoon reception.
1t is almost impossible to make one
gown do duty for these several occa-
sions, so there should be two-a rough
and-ready tailor-made cheviot, severely
plain, but well fitting, and n smooth
faced cloth of brighttlue, braided with
black-the waist in reality a jacket,
tight-fitting and braided in military
fashion with black. With this are worn
boa and muff of silver-gray fur-a
color that only fresh, young faces can
stand.
This second gown might be of bright
red with black satin, made with bo-
lero jacket and gold buttons, or of gray
worn with gray felt hat trimmed with
ostrich feathers. A bolero jacket and
full belt and front of rose-color satin
relieved the gray.
Eton jackets are favored this winter.
They are more suitable to young girls
than to elderly women, and dressmakers
have not been slow to take advantage
of this fact. Dark-brown velveteen, or
dark red, make charming street cos
tunes made with the Eton Jacket. One
OF brown has tight-ftting waistcoat
and broad belt of yellow silk trimmed
with threads of mink.
Il L
are desirable, but must always be short,
as the longer coats are only for older
women. Russian blouses in fur, belt
cd with narrow gold belt, are in fash
ion. None of the fur garments close
at the throat, but open to show jabots
and bows of ribbon and lace to the dis
comfort and future pneumonia of the
wearer.
Daintiness should be the predomi-
nant feature in a debutante's evening
gown. White and the light shades Of
pink, blue, yellow and green are pret-
tiest. At the Assembly hall in New
York nearly all the young women who
made their first appearance wore white,
looking eXquisitely fresh and simple in
spite of the fact that the gowns were
rich and could have been made only
by the smartest modistes. Light gauzy
fabrics, made over silk or satin under
slips, were the rule; sometimes tulle
skirt had n satin waist trimmed with
tulle. One gown of embroidered chiffon
had pattern of love-knots interspersed
with garlands around the skirt, which
was also trimmed with double ruflle
headed by very full ruche, all through
which were punches Of tiny pink roses.
The waist was of plain chiffon with a
cirdle of pearls and rhinestones. Puff
ings of chiffon cncircled the decollete.
The hair was dressed high with a little
stiff spray of pink roses.
The round-cut evening waist off the
shoulders is more fashionable than the
squae-cut, and while it shows the
shoulders can still be arranged more
mpdestly than the other. All evening
gowns are worn trifle higher and have
n soft fold or two of lace or chiffon ar
ranged as a tucker Lace berthas are
worn. but are of narrow lace. caught up
so not to hide the lines of the figure.

louder his master called. When the
ieweler at last awoke to the fact that
he had been victimized, both dog and

ROMANCE OF A RAZOR.
Father Priced the Weapon Which Had
Killed His Daughter.

y most conspicuous and tender in
stance of paternal affection was by
chance brought to the attention of the
writer few days ago as he sat in a bar
Der chair patiently awaiting the remov-
al of the superfuous growth froma neg
lected chin. While thus employed a
man, apparently German, entered the
shop and handed razor to the barber,
with request that he would put it in
order as soon as possible. And" add
ed he, "be sure and not lose that razor.
| would not lose that razor for ten dol
lars"
Naturally the barber was curious to
know why 50 eXtravagant a value should
be placed upon an ordinary razor and in
quired the reason.
why" responded the German, that
is the razor that the sailor killed my
daughter with. You can see the blood
are. Those black stains are my daugh-
ter's blood. They will never como out.
Ny daughter was good girl. Ever
since she was killed l never shave with
no other razor. / love her so much.
AS long as live use this razor in mem
cry of my girl" 1t is difficult to aston
ish an ordinary barber, butt this one
was struck dumb for awhile Finally
he did recuperate sufficiently to eN-
claim: well, I'll be- DANCED" The
statement of the owner of the precious
razor was found on inquiry to be quite
true.
Two years ago the whole water frort
was shocked by the foul murder of a
young 15-year-old girl under circum-
stances of singular atrocity. Her father
was the keeper of sailor boarding
house, patronized by whalers almost ex-
clusively. The girl had attracted the
attention of half-breed Kanaka, who
wanted to marry her, but the girl would
not consent and repulsed him with hor-
ror and disdain. In n moment of jeal-
Gus fury the mad Kanaka seized the girl
as she was attending to some house
hold affairs and cut her throat, almost
severing the head from the body. The
razor about which the aged German was
so solicitous was the real, actual instru-
ment of the crime. = San Francisco

lie is very accomplishing bird. He
does not make any outcry. He simply
spreads his great wings and scars far
beyond the reach of his petty enemies.
He meets with the came scotnsul
tyranny from the turkey buzzard.
1t is an odd sight to see one of the
latter swoop down upon flock of the
black vultures as they are gathered
about dead chicken or other animal.
All the black ones scramble out of the
way, hopping, tapping and making
their hoarse kissing sound-their only
note-and range themselves at safe
distance, where they wait patiently
until their big cousin chooses to take
his departure.
The two species are often found to-
gether, but there is evidently a great
gulf between them, and the blacks

Along the lower Mississippi river, in
Mississippi and Louisiana, all the small
towns are protected from inundation
by high earthworks or levees, and the
space between the levee and the river,
called the batture, is sort of no-man's
land. Here garbage and refuse of all
kinds is thrown. and the floating houses
of the fishermen are moored
Such places are the chosen home of
Br'er Buzzard. No one ever dreams of
molesting him. Noone ever cares to come

able to maintain it for hours without
fatigue.
When the fishermen come in with
their loaded boats the yultures descend,
and crowd about the RATS where the
fish are assorted, waiting until the
dead or worthless ones are cast aside.
\ favorite morsel is the head of the
great river catfish, which is always cut
off. before the fish is offered for sale.
The fishermen, like everybody else,
recognize the utility of the vultures, and
encourage them until they become al
most like pets; and il is ludicrous to
see four or five of them seize a fish head
and pull like boys at the old-fashioned
game of French and English, tapping,
kissing and tumbling about the ground
in their efforts to drag the coveted
morsel away from each other. In the
midst of the ignoble struggle down
Swoops Cathartes Aura into the melee.
The black fellows fall over each
other in their efforts to get out of his
ordship's way, and he calmly sails off
with the prize in his beak.

PIG FOOLED THE DOG.
Both Wanted Same Place to Sleep In and
the POrker Got 1t.

Both Wanted Same Place to Sleep In and
the Porker Got 1t.
Here is true tale of dog and pig.
They were both passengers on the same
ship, and quite warm friends. They
used to eat their cold potatoes Off the
same plate, and but for one thing would
never have had any trouble. This was
the fact that the dog had kennel and
the pig had none.
Somehow the pig got it into it's head
that the kennel belonged to whichever
could get into it first, so every night
there was race. If the dog won he
showed his teeth, and the pig had to
lie on the softest plank he could find.
If the pig got in first Toby could not
drive him out.
One rainy AFTERNOON the pig found II
rather unpleasant slipping about on
deck and made up his mind to retire
early. But when he reached the kennel
he found the dog snug and warm in
side. "Umph!" he said, but Toby made
no reply.
Suddenly an idea flashed upon him,
end, trudging off to where their din
ner plate was lying. he carried it to
part of the deck where the dog could see
It, and, turning his back to the kennel,
began rafting the plate and munching
as though he had feast before him.
This was too much for Toby. A good
dinner and he not there! Piggy kept
on until Toby had come round in front
of him and pushed his nose into the
smpty plate.
Then, like shot, he turned around
and was safe in the kennel before Toby
knew whether there was any dinner on
the plate or not.--London Telegraph.
