original figures as finals. Hence the
artist" knows that any sum given to
him, the final figure OF which is 8, must
have 2 as cube root; that If the final fig
ure be the cube root must be Q, and
so on.
For example, give him the figures of
4,0SS, and he can at once tell that AZ
is the cube root, for the reason that "A
has as cube root, as the cube of is
"a, while the cube OF S is 1876, much more
than "a, and 0S8 has 2 as a cube root.
Or give him more difficult example, as,
for example, the figures 324,369. Then
he will see at glance that 324 Is more
than ZIG, which Is the cube root OF 6,
but Is less than S4S, the cube root of z;
therefore the cube root Of these three
figures is 6. In like manner the final
figure in S69 being g. 1t follows that
the cube root Of these three figures is 8,
and thus the cube root Of the six figures
has been shown to be &c. Any one can
test this method for himself, and little
practice Is all that is needed to make one
as deft In such jugglery of figures as the
best lightning calculator"
OF course, a skilled mathematician
could easily frame problems which could
not be solved In this off-hand fashion,
but such difficult tests are seldom Of
fered by public audiences, and, as a rule,
the ARTISTS" are easily able to answer
all the questions asked Of them.-New

How Waspa Build Their Nests.

In tree in the garden round the
house where l was stopping was a wasps'
nest in process of construction. The
busy insects were going backward and
forward carrying their material to the
paper-like fabric, but, though watched
several days, could not discover where
1t was collected. It happened that the
pillars Of the veranda of the mud-bullt
house in which I was stopping were
rOughly-heWn trunks Of the Lombardy
poplar that grows In that region to
good size and considerable height with
out branches and makes clean, straight
stem. One afternoon, while lettering
about the veranda, I noticed that num-
bers OF wasps were alighting on the
sides Of these pillars that was worn by
the weather, and then, after O short
stay, moved off again, apparently carry
ing away small load with them.
StatiOning myself close to one of the
pillars, l soon had the satisfaction of
seeing wasp alight on It, After run
ming about over the surface to find what
he was In search of he suddenly stopped,
and carefully feeling the spot ne was
on, he cut the worn surface with his
nippers and then proceeded in a work
manlike manner to cut from the surface
Of the wood strip the width to which
he could extend his nippers laterally,
and as he moved backward he rolled the
strip up under his chin with the aid Of
his forefeet until ne had as much as he
could conveniently hold, when he gave
a finishing Cut-off and flew away. Watch
ing the work of construction afterward,
it was marvellous to see how the end Of
the little roll was attached to the strip
of work that was being added to, by
means Of some waxy gum exuded by the
builder, and joined on laterally as 1t
was unrOlled until finished, and then
the workman would fly away for fresh
piece. Each insect cut off strip aver
aging about three-eighths of an inch in
width, and nothing could be more ad-
mlrable than the artistic and business
like way in which they carried on their
work. .-Harper's Round Table.

metric tons, or 4,48O pounds, while In
England 1t stands for eighty-twO and

Magnets Remarkable Power.

According to the Literary Digest, a
young laundress thrust needle into
her right hand while washing clothes
The needle having disappeared in the
flesh, the surgeon, who was consulted
several days after the accident, refused
to perform an operation, fearing lest he
should be obliged to make large num-
ber of incisions amid the ligaments Of
the articulation. Two months after
ward the girl lost the use of her right
hand, and the least movement of the
fingers caused her exquisite pain. Doc
tors Gorinewski and Cerestin then de-
termined to extract the needle with the
aid OF a magnet, drawing 1t into
Aeshy region where an incisiOn could be
made without danger. To cause this
movement they chose a very feeble
electro-magnet But difficulty arose.

The Meeting Of Parliament.

The Parliament of Great Britain, the
supreme legislative body Of the British
empire, is summoned by writ OF the
sovereign, issued out of chancery al
least thirty-hve days previous to the
time Of meeting. Ii vacancy occurs In
the Commons while In session a writ of
election Is issued upon motion In the
House; IL during recess, at the In
stance of the Speaker. During recent
years 1t has been customary for Parlia-
ment to meet in annual session, extend
Ing from about the middle of February
to about the end of August. Every
annual session Is ended by propagation;
Parliament is closed with a dlssOlu-
tion, the average life of Victoria's Par
liaments being about three and 0ne-haf
years. The dissolution OF Parliament
may occur at any time by the will Of the
sovereign, and new election must
then be held. Seven years constitute
the statutory limit Of Parllament's
life, but no Parliament has in the pres
ent century lasted so long. The mem
bers Of the Commons are all elected FOX
one Parliament and receive no salary.
The members OF the House of Lords are
divided into five classes, the peers hold
ing their seats (D by hereditary right;
(0 by creation OF the sovereign; 90 by
virtue Of Office, as in the case OF the
English Bishops; (D by election for life,
as in the case of the Irish Peers; (5) by
election for the duration Of one Parlia-
ment, as In the case of the Scottish
Peers. In 1896 the upper house had 575
names on its rolls; in the same year the
House Of Commons numbered &c.

said she felt prlcking in the palm az
the hand near the place where the mag
net had been applied and where the
needle ought to appear AT the ninth
sitting finally the needle appeared be-
meath the skin and came out whole,

out loss Of blood. It fixed itself to the
pole Of the electromagnetic, and the
young laundress was cured. This result

hours after the first trial this needle
was extracted from the inside Of the
hand, after lying there more than two

KINGS Among Elephants.

It was our good fortune to be present
at an important meeting of the "Khed-
dah," at Chilla, on the banks of the
Ganges, where the Nepalese government
had sent down their magnificent troop
Of tame elephants, for the chase of wild
ones. They were about 15O in number
magnificent, noble creatures.
The two finest among them were the
"kings" of the troop and were called
"Bijli Prasad" and ''Narain Cal Pra-
sad" Bill Prasad, which means Lord
of Lightning" was such grand fellow.
The width of his head was so great that
ne could not put his head through our
hall door; and he knows to the smallest
point what mighty creature he is.
He and his companion, Narain Cal
Prasad, which means "The Peerless
Lord" are provided with two slave ele-
plants, and the only duty of the latter
is to fetch and provide fodder for Bilji
and Narain Cal They do their duty
right well. At early dawn their ma
houts, or drivers, drive them into their
jungles, and they work like real slaves.
They collect the sweet sugar canes,
tearing them up by their roots, the
young succulent grasses, and tender
leaves, and heap them up in masses
which weigh about 300 pounds each.
These loads are put on their backs, and
thrice day they gladly carry their bur-
dens and lay them at the feet of their
lords.
We went out by moonlight to see the
latter fed, and any child would enjoy
the strange sight. First of all the ma
hout makes a great big campfire Of
twigs and brushwood, and on it he places
a large fiat iron dish, supported on two
bricks. Then he takes wheat -four and
kneads 1t with water into great round
fiat cakes about an inch thick and twice
the circumference Of a. soup plate. These
cakes he bakes on the iron dish.
We were anxious to taste them, and
we found them very good. We punched
out with our fingers all the nice brown
spots, and ate them, piping hot. And
TO make up to Bill and Narain for TAX
ing part Of their supper we had pre-
pared a treat of which they are partic-
ularly fond. From a bazaar we had
brought great balls Of sugar cane juice
boiled down and made solid, called
"goor" in that country. Each ball was
twice the size of a tennis ball, and in
each wheat cake or "chapati" we rolled
a lump of this molasses. You should
have seen how the big beasts enjoyed
their feed-how their great trunks
rested down on our shoulders, always
upturned for the forthcoming delicacy.-

First he must know exactly what
cube root is-namely, that it is the re-
suit of multiplying one number by it.
self, and then multiplying the product
by the original number. Thus, null
tiplied by equals 9, and multiplied by
8, the original number, produces q,
which, consequently is the cube Of 3.
The cube root Of 27 is the original num-
Der 3, and to find the cube root is the
reverse of finding the cube. The would

carefully the following figures:
