Run a belt from the fan-wheel, over a
ruler attached to the side of the box, to
your motor, and have an arrangement
that will cause the fan to revolve at an
extremely rapid rate.
At the bottom of the box place a pan
of heated water and start your mill,
Soon the water will become greatly agi-
tated and form itself into spirals as
little by little the surface is sucked
up, producing a liquid cone several
inches in height, above which number
Of small drops will accumulate and fall
back in series of spiral showers,
Gradually there will appear a vapory
hollow tube from the apex of the cone;
this will gyrate upward toward the
fan and lose itself in the upper part

spout. So strong is the current of air
about this tube of vapor thatitwill cause

most to the top of the box.
A little soap in the water will add to
the interest of the experiment, as the
soap bubbles will be seen in violent
agitation at the foot of thecone.
You will notice that your waterspout
is a spiral tube of vapor which twists
its way upward after the manner of a
corkscrew. Now at the center of this
nebulous spiral, forming its cone, is a
current of cool air shooting downward.
This current of cool air serves to con-
dense OF thicken the vapor to some de-
gree, and if you blow a puff of smoke
across the mouth of your waterspout
you will see it at once go to the interior
of the tube, gracefully roll itself intoa
slender cone, and make its way down
to the surface of the water, represent
ing exactly what takes place when in
real waterspout the clouds are sucked
down and mingle with the cone of vapor
that rises from the surface of the agi-
tated sea.
The spiral column is the harmless
part of a waterspout, though we hear
tales of ships being wrecked, and even
of small boats being drawn up into the
air by them. Butthis is done not by
the column of vapor, but by the invisi-
BILE and terrific whirlwind that RACES
round it-which, in your miniature re-
production, causes the straws and
pieces of paper to mount into the air.
1t has been held by many that the
course of the waterspout tbs downward
and not upward, but this simple expert
ment disproves this theory by showing
the formation of the column upon the
surface of the water, the direction
taken by light objects and the descent
Of the smoke through the center.

One Discovered That Has Remained HID
den for q Century. rg5
An Indian village has been discov-
cred by Constable George w. Sneft,
This was midway between Pomona and
Mckee City, N. j.
Sneft was fox hunting with a party
of friends, and passed through the dense
forests, when suddenly one of their
number spied an opening in the thick
est of the brush. They investigated it
and found that it was an old Indian
hut still in good condition, as it was
made of hickory wood.
A further search revealed four other
huts, and around them were found
many arrow heads, darts, tomahawls
and a quantity of flint. One of the toma-
haws had a covering of some animal
skin and sharp arrow head fastened
to an end. This spot covers an area of
about 200 feet and is so thickly sur
rounded by brush that it is safe to say
it was not trodden upon for nearly a
century, although it is only 200 yards
from a well-traveled road.

TRIAL TRIP OF THE TERRIBLE.
New British Cruisers Speed Almost
Equals the Columbia's.

the SOlumDtas.
Her majesty's ship Terrible, the new
frst-class cruiser, has had her trials
over a 23-mile course, off the Cornish
coast. The speed developed showed an
average of 221A knots an hour, beating,
it is claimed, the record of every war
vessel afoat.
The Terrible was launched at Glasgow
in 1895, and is equipped with AZ boilers
of the Belleville water-tube type. She
is built of sheathed steel, and is of Ii, 200
tons displacement. Her length is 500
feet, and her beam II feet, while the
maximum draft is 81 feet. She has
twin-screw propellers, and has $4,000
indicated horse power.
She is rated as a protected cruiser,
the armored deck extending over the
whole length of the ship. Inits thickest
part it is four inches, and tapers to
three inches at the end. Her coal ca
pacity is 1900 tons, the armored deck
being associated with infinitely sub
divided coal bunkers. The complement
of officers and men provided for is $40.
The twin screws are each three bladed,
10 feet inches in diameter. Both
screws rotate inward, which is the re-
verse of the ordinary practice. The
engines are of the vertical, three stage,
compound type, with four cranks, there
being two low pressure cylinders. The
stroke is four feet.
Her armament consists of two 30
inch guns, 10 6-inch quick-fring guns,
16 12-pounders, IL 3-pounders, nine
machine guns, two light guns for boat,
and four torpedo tubes.
The speed of the United States cruiser
Columbia, on her trial trip, was % $40
Knots an hour.

NAMING THE BABY,

Lawsuit to Decide Whether the Right
Belongs to the Father or Mother.
The question as to whether the nam
ing of the baby belongs, as matter of
right, to the baby's father or to the
baby's mother is raised in queer law
suit originating in Eastllill, in the
heart of the Catsllill mountains, re-
ports the Albany Law Journal. The
plaintiff is Ole Haiverson, Swede, who
cultivates a small farm on the noun
tain side. lie has sued for damages
Rev. j. G. Remerton, German Luth-
eran minister of the same place, and the
pleadings set forth the following state
of facts: Mr.. and Mrs. Halverson have
son of tender years. The former de-
sired that the boy should be called Os-
| car, after the present monarch of Mr..
| Halverson's fatherland. Mrs. Halver-
son dislilles the name Oscar and was
determined that the baby should not
be burdened Herewith. Mr.. and Mrs.
Halverson took the baby to the clergy
man to be christened..
Mr.. Halverson requested the minister
to name the child Oscar, but Mrs. Hal.
version had already talked the reverend
| gentleman over, and to Mr.. Halverson's
surprise and indignation the boy was
not christened Oscar, but something
else, whereby Mr.. Halverson suffered
serious disappointment, loss of author
ity in his household, liberation of feel
ings, etc., for which he prays damages.
The clergyman's defense is that he
christened the child in accordance with
the wishes of the mother, whose rights
in the premises he considered para
mount. The case brings up novel
question in Jurisprudence, the decision
OF which will be regarded with interest
in thousands of families throughout

~ Got the best of a Very
Smooth Svindler.

Over in Williamsburg, says the New
York Sun, they don't keep very close
track of current events, and probably
that's the reason that old Mrs. Plant,
who keeps boarding house for sailor
men, has never heard of the "trunk
game" and wasn't q bit suspicious

man engaged room one morning re-

in the afternoon. He said his name
was Rinaldo and that he was first mate

make any payment in advance, because
the crew wouldn't be paid off till the
vessel had discharged her cargo. Mrs.
Plant wouldn't think of asking such
handsome gentleman to make de-
post, and would look out for his trunk.
Rinaldo went off ''to see to the unload
ing" and when he got back that night
he was apparently dismayed to find
that his trunk hadn't arrived. He was
installed in the best room as the star
boarder, and his first inquiry in the
morning was about his trunk. 1t hadn't
come, and Rinaldo went away looking
worried. He looked more worried
when he came back that night, and he
didn't inquire for the trunk. He was
reticent, and Mrs. Plant was CORE
spondingly solicitous on his account.
By easy stages she elected from him
the information that his trunk was be-
ing held at the ship.

to leave the ship and settle down here

Wabash to Use Oil

railroad testing crude oil as fuel on

above the firebox of the engines and it
is worked on the principle of gasoline
Stove, steam being used for the pres
sure. Trips have been made between
this city and Hannibal, Mo-, using the
crude oil and have been very successful,
one filing of the tanks being sufficient

Wabash officials think they have solved
the fuel question. The use of oil is a
