 "Anoestors?" said Harold inquiringly.
 "Aunt's sisters, " retorted the little girl quickly, land that we could man. age the egg trick much better nowadays. She stood one of her eggs up on its lit tie end and didn't break it either. Then she made it lean over, aud it stayed that way and didn' t roll down. She took another egg, balanced it on its end and put the first egg on top, and they both stood up, one on top of the other. Aft erward she built up the goblets the queerest way, and balanced the egg on them and on the edge of the mouth of the deeanter of milk, and it stayed there, leaning over, but never fell, and --oh she did all sorts of things like that
 There is no trick of such simplicity so easily performed that is as effective in puzzling, interesting and amusing a party of children as the antics of the eccentric eggs, which Alice was at tempting to describe.
 The eggs to bc used must be blown. Make small pertorations in the egg at either end, and. holding it over a cup or some other receptacle, apply your lips quickly to one of the holes, and with your breath force the contents out of the other. Stop up one of the perfora- tions with white wax and drop into the other the smallest shot you can procure, until the weighted end makes the egg stand securely in any position in which 1t may be placed, then stop up with your wax the other aperture, and your trick egg is complete.
 If shot is not to be procured, common sand will answer As it is much lighter than the leaden shot, however, it will require more of it to accomplish the purpose.

Why Doesn't the Boiler Burstq

What q tremendous force is struggling to tear boiler to atomsl Take, for ex- ample, horizontal tubular boiler of ordinary proportions, 60 inches in di- ameter by 16 feet long, containing eighty three l inch tubes. Such boiler has a surface area of 40, 716 square inches.
 Suppose this boiler is operated with a working pressure of 100 pounds per square inch, which is not at all uncom- mon. The boiler therefore sustains a to- tal pressure of 4.071, 500 pounds. or more than 2, 035 tons.
 Do we realize what this means? The boiler has resting upon it the equivalent of column of granite 10 feet square and 254.5 feet high, or, to put it another way, the boiler is holding up the equiv alent weight of 22,371 persons, each weighing 182 pounds.
 The best authorities agree that the ordinary draft horse, working eight hours a day, exerts an average force during that time of 120 pounds
 Now, this force acting to disrupt the boiler longitudinally is 226, 200 pounds, so that to produce an equivalent stress it would be necessary to hitch up to the ends Of the boiler two teams of ], ,886 horses altogether. Strand Magazine.
