The great peak of Teneriffe, 1912
feet high, situated in the Canary is
lands, and rising almost directly out of
the ocean, makes a magnificent view
point for certain scientific purposes.
Prof. 7. c. Porter recently gave the
Physical society. in London an account
Of his observations and experiments
on the peak. By observing the shadow
of the peak cast upon the sea, and
measuring the time that elapsed be-
tween the moment when the apex of
the shadow touched the sea-horizon,
and the instant when it was eclipsed by
the shadow of night, he was able to de-
duce the diameter of the earth. The
heated air rising from the crater of
the volcano also casts a shadow which
can be seen on the sea, rising obliquely
from the summit of the mountain cone.
One of Professor Porter's photographs
from the peak plainly showed the curry
atuTe of the horizon.

A MOONLIGHT SAIL.

This story was related by a lady
friend whose narrow escape from
drowning l give below in her own
words: Several years ago in the
month of June, while on a visit TO a
friends house. situated in New Eng
land village, met with an accident
from the effects Of which my nerves
have never fully recovered.
This village overlooked a large nav
igable river, where crafts of different
kinds plyed during the day, and some
times far into the evening. l often set
for hours on the cool broad Veranda'
watching them pass and repass, admir-
ing the graceful elms on its banks,
whose green foliage was reflected in the
depths below.
One particular dag the weather had
been warmer than usual, and the hours
had been passed indoors away from the
glare of the sun; but the evening came
in cooler, with a breeze off the water,
and the bright radiance of full moon
transforming the scene into fairy land.
My husband came hastily up from
the wharf with the proposal of sail
by moonlight, for which purpose he
had procured a boat. Our hostess was
engaged, but Miss Martin and Mr.. Rus
sell (also visitors) were only too happy
and consented with pleasure. l was
delighted, but wished to wait long
enough to change my thin muslin waist
for thicker one, but my husband OBJ
jected to the delay and begged me to
come just as l was, so catching up a
shawl from the veranda chair, l hastily
threw it over my shoulders and declar-
ed myself ready
We were soon fastening down the
road to the wharf, merry party Of
four. In few moments we had board
ed the boat and showed it out into the
stream.
l don't think I ever saw a more per-
feet night. In the brilliant light Of
the moon everything looked different
from the common light of day. and we
laughed and joked, and thought our
selves both fortunate and happy to be
the participants of so much pleasure.
The boat just moved fast enough to
create pleasant motion as we glided
gracefully along, the white sail set to
the refreshing breeze. The coast SEEM
ed comparatively clear, and with moth
ing to hinder our progress, we sailed
on and out over an enchanted sea.
We had grown strangely quiet, each
seeming to realize that though speech
was silver, silence was golden" and
each one seemed busy with his, or her,
own thoughts. For my part I was
thinking of home and friends far away.
Many OF them had passed over the mys-
tic bridge that spans this world and
the next, but somehow they seemed
strangely near me on this night. The
very air seemed people with spirits
bright and beautiful from out the dear
dead past.
l was awakened from my reverie by
dark object coming unexpectedly in
to view as we rounded the river bend.

Among the many efforts that have
been made to secure a tire that would
not be disabled by slight puncture is
the cork cushion, that has recently
been perfected. This invention con-
sists of a series of corks, having the
effect Of being threaded upon a slender
rod. This rod is closed at the ends,
and binds the sections of cork firmly
together and the groove Of the rim. A
rubber coating is placed on the out
side, and fits snugly. It is claimed that
the cork gives sufficient resiliency to
make riding easy. It is, however, prac-
tically out of the question to make a
cushion tire on any known lines that
will be as pleasant for the rider as the
pneumatic.

Muncie and Richmond, Indiana, are
preparing to try the Pingree lot-garden
scheme this year on a more extensive
scale and systematic basis than any
city in Indiana has yet attempted.
Richmond has been experimenting
along these lines for the last three
years-not individually, but as a city,
and under city management. The re-
suits have been wonderful. The poor
of the city have thus been employed
and have raised enough each year to
take them through the winter with
plenty of food. The city council has
just voted an appropriation of several
hundred dollars to carry on the early
spring preliminary work, and citizens
are pledging their vacant lots to the
eity-not to individuals. More than
100 lots will be given over to that pur-
pose this spring and the city superin-
tendent, who is appointed by the mayor
and paid by the city, is now entering
the names OF those who want the gar
dens and assigning them to certain
lots, Only the poor need apply and the
amount of ground given is regulated by
the size Of the family. The ground is
broken and prepared by the city, and
the city, through the government, pro-
vides all of the seed. All that is re-
CURED of the poor is to plant, till and
care for the ground and harvest the
crops. The city superintendent super
vises all Of this work, and if he finds
that man is negligent he will appoint
others to attend to the work and reap
the reward. This system costs the
city something, but the cost is slight
when compared with savings in the
long winter months when such de-
uands were made on charity.

weeks. Even now the crossing of this
belt, where everything is surcharged
with moisture. is a disagreeable sxpe-
rience for voyagers going from the
North to the South Atlantic ocean, or
vice versa The belt can be traced
across equatorial Africa and across the
American isthmus, and the great riv-
ers, Amazon, Orinoco, Niger, Nile and
Congo, arise in these rain-soaked re-
gions, which are like eXhaustless reser-
voirs. The cause of the equatorial
cloud-belt is connected with the trade
winds, and in the course of a year it
oscillates north and south over a dis
lance equal to about three times its
own breadth.

HOW BLoKER ECoNoMIzED.
Undertook to Dye Easter Eggs and

Undertook to Dye Easter Eggs and
Came to Grief.
After Bloker had looked through bis
bills for the month he went home with
blood in his eye.
Mrs. Bloker," he began, as soon as
the evening meal was over, this fam
ily's got to put on the hold-back straps
1t is just possible that you may agree
with me when I say that it is really
difficult for a man to lay up money
when he's required to spend more than
he makes. Judging from precedent
you intend buying lot of dye stuhs
to color Easter eggs for the children
You'll do no such thing. Having had
an economical mother, l know Just
how to prepare the eggs. Have the
rag bag brought down, give me nee
die and thread and then let me have
the kitchen to myself. I'll show the
children some Easter eggs that VIII
make their eyes stick out"
After there was time for BlOker to
awkwardly sew a dozen eggs into calico
bags and give them a good boiling
there came yell and crash from the
kitchen. The family rushed out to IND
him dancing about on one foot, while
he was trying to get the other under
the cold water tap in the sink. Tne
water that scalded him was running
over the floor, and the varied colors o.
the family calico were running VIE
it. There was not a whole egg ID
sight, and the kitchen was hotter than
a caucus in river precinct. MIS-
Bloker hustled the children upstairs
that they might not hear what papa
was saying. An hour later he was
helped to bed with his injured foos
wrapped up like a case of govt Mex

close the incident by ordering han

W. S. Gilbert wanted five thousand
dollars as damages because a London
paper said he was given to pomposity,
envy and ingratitude, and the jury
disagreed. Mr.. Gilbert satirizes men,
women and ideas rather more than any
other man, and it is not reasonable
that he should be sensitive to that sort
of thing as applied to himself. It re-
minds one of the generous lad who
said to his companion, Let us play.
will hit you with club and you will
back up against the fence and cry"
The suggestion that those who give
should be willing to take would evil
IDENTIFY come to Mr.. Gilbert as a new
proposition.

At the recent celebration of his
eighty-third birthday Prince Bismarck
walked with the help of gold-handled
cane that was given him by the pres
ent emperor. Those who saw him thus
supported may well have thought of
the fateful days when the first EN-
peror William leaned on Bismarck as
on strong staff, and by that aid was
enabled to walk sturdily along untried
and perilous paths to the imperial
throne.

A man in New York gave his girl
two brand new front teeth as a we'd
ding gift, ito fill up the gap" as he
expressed it. Directly the two separ-
ated, and then, on the highway, he
tried to pluck the teeth from the gap,
and the magistrate before whom he
was taken fined him ten dollars for it.
The proprieties of life ought to be re-
spected. Only a stingy man would
have limited his generosity to two
teeth. He should have given her a full
set, wig, and a cork leg.
