Why DO Your skntcs Slip?

Why do your skates slip ON ice? ?
Glass is just as smooth, but you
couldn't possibly skate on it. If you
doubt it try your skates on piece
OF glass and see whether they will
slip or not.
The reason why ice is slippery and
glass is not is very simple. Ice always
melts little under pressure and fric-
ton. When the steel of the skate
touches it n little water is formed, and
this acts as oil between the skate and
the ice, and the skater slips merrily
along. The expression in regard to
glare ice, 'It's as slippery as if it had
been creased" is not far wrong. On
glass this liquid lubricator is lacking,
and the friction between the skate and
the glass renders slipping impossible.
Put two pieces of glass together with
a few drops of water between them,
and see how easily they viii slip
about, one over the her.-Chicago

Disappointed in Love.

be that they have only advanced a

the engine may have been thrown Off

The one recourse which then re-
mains is to call in the assistance of
small army of men, that way may be
forced through the snow with pick
and shovel, and, while these opera
tions are progressing, the passenger
train has TO be kept constantly on the
move, lest in few hours il become
incapable Of movement at all.
At such a time il is no unusual thing
to see several hundred men at work
on single drift Perhaps eight or a
dozen platforms are cut in the snow,
and thus what is removed from the
line is passed upward from stage to
stage. climbing the steep walls in tiny
shovelfuls, until it finally reaches the
open waste, thirty or forty feet above
the heads of the workers on the ground
level.
The men are brought to the spot in
special trains and fed and housed as
best they can be. They work day and
night, sometimes shoveling for thirty
six hours at stretch.
The thing that has simplified the
task of snow fighting more than any

. ,Irow a Chameleon Changes Color.

- iHow n Chameleon Changes Color.
The chameleon is little lizard, who
possesses the wonderful power of
changing his color to suit his own con-
venience. Florida produces several
species of these lizards in abundance.
Up to the present day no one has un.
derstood the process by which the lit
tie lizard effects his changes. Now it
is known.
Certain colors through the medium
of the optic nerve produce a contrac-
tion or expansion of the pigment or
color cells. The result is q protective
tint or one which resembles that upon
which the animal is resting. The eye
receives the stimulus or impression,
which passes from the optic nerve to
the sympathetic nerve, 30 reaching
the various series of the lizards little
color cells under the skin.
The pigment cells are distributed all
over the body with more or less regu-
larity, and upon their contraction and

England's scheme to get Chi,S,
heavily in her debt is shrewd in more
ways than one. By that course China
can be made to leave her customs in
British hands, which implies that the
great trade ports are not to be ceded
away, nor territorial relations changed.
Then by insisting that part of the loan
shall be used to pay off Japan, the lat
ter power is given the means to buy
more ships and guns in the British
market The thrifty side of British
diplomacy was never more apparent
than it is in this Chinese undertak

How n Fox Is Caught,

Winter is the propitious season OF
the hunter and trapper. His game is
out and nature obligingly acts the
part of detective by spreading her
mantle of snow to register their move
ments. Each kind of animal possesses
its own peculiar habits and strategic
methods which must be familiar to
the pursuer who hopes for success.
Any other denizen of the forest is be-
lieved to be more easily outwitted
than the fox. All know how high his
reputation is for caution and cunning,
yet he has acquaintances OF human
kind so intimately acquainted with his
ways as to see just how to overcome
his scruples and make him an easy
victim of the trap.
If Reynard has paid recent visit
to the henhouse, or whether he has or
not, if his den can be located with ap-
proximate certainty he may be ap-
preached in that locality ON the SUBJ
ject of capture; not in plain language,
to be sure; not by open methods, but
in accordance with his own stealthy
tactics. The whole plan rests on the
tripod Of caution. patience and psrss-
verance.

a Curious Incident.

Horses will form strong attachments
for dogs, but it does not often happen
that horse derives any real benefit
from having canine friend. The fol-
lowing case will show that dog may
sometimes return horses affection
in very practical manner. A man
living in the country had a horse
which happened to be turned out just
as his carrots were ready for pulling.
He also had dog that was on the
best of terms with the horse. One
day he noticed that his carrots were
disappearing very fast, but he was al
most certain that no one had gotten
in and stolen them. Still he deter
mined to watch and see who was rob-
bing him. His vigilance was re-
warded, for he caught the thief in the
very act of pulling up the carrots.
Then he cautiously followed him from
the garden and found that he went
off in the direction of the field where
the horse was. Arrived there, the
owner of the. carrots saw that his horse
was the receiver of the stolen goods.
The thief was his dog. In some way
the dog had discovered that the horse
had partiafity for carrots, and was
unable to crafty its taste; but with a
sagacity that is almost incredible, the
dog found the means Of obtaining the
succulent morsels for his friend, and
this he did without scruple at his mas
ter's expense. There was something
more than instinct in this dogs head.
But any one who takes real notice of
the habits and curious doings of ami
mails must inevitably come to the
conclusion that the theory is not
tenable which maintains that anima>,

The Electric Eel.


This curious fish, which exhibits tho
singular phenomenon Of voluntary
electric power residing in n living
animal, is an inhabitant OF the fresh
water rivers and ponds Of Surinnm
and other parts Of South America,
where it was first discovered in the
year 1877.
The power OF emitting an electric
shock is apparently given it in order
TO enable the creature to kill its prey.
Those who have seen the electric eel
in the Polytechnic while being fed
will have little doubt of this. The
fish given to it are, directly it becomes
aware of their presence, instantly
struck dead, and then devoured. This
specimen Is unfortunately blind, but
1t has learned to turn in the direction
OF padding in the water, made by
the individual who feeds II. The fish
Is scarcely in the water before shock
from the gymnotus kills it. The usual
length Of the gymnotus is about three
feet.
Captain Stedman, in his account Of
Surinam, gives an account of the
electric eel, which he, of course, had
many opportunities of seeing. He at
tempted, for trihing wager, to lift mp
a symnotus in his hands, but accord
ing to his own words:
81 tried about twenty different
times to grasp it with my hand, but
all without effect, receiving just as
many electrical shocks, which / felt
even to the top Of my shoulder. 1t
has been said that this animal must
be touched with both hands before it
gives the shock, but this I must take
the liberty of contradicting, having
experienced the contrary effect" The
eel mentioned was a small one, only
two feet long, but one that had ar
rived at its full growth would have
given very much stronger shock.
An English sailor was fairly knocked
down by shock from one of these
eels, nor did he recover his senses for
some time. II is said that the shock
can pass up stick, and strike the
person holding it, Mr.. Bryant and
n companion were both struck while
pouring off ice water from tub in
WHICH the Gel nHu oeeH pidceu.
Humboldt, in his "Views Of Ma
ture," gives very animated descrip-
tion Of the method employed by the
Indians TO take these creatures--a
method equally ingenious and cruel.
Knowing from experience that the
powers OF the gymnotus are not ade-
quate to constant volley of shocks,
they contrive that shocks shall be ex-
pended on horses instead of them
selves.
Having found pool containing
electric eels, they force troop Of wild
horses to enter the pool. The dis
turbed cells Immediately attack in
truders and destroy many of them by
repeated shocks; but by constantly
forcing fresh supplies of horses to in
wade the pool, the powers of the gym
mott become exhausted, and they are
then dragged out with impunity.-
