To Get a Vacuum.

Professor Dewar's achievement in liq-
uefying hydrogen has led to the dis
cOvery of an easy method for obtain
ing an almost perfect vacuum, and
tube, filled with air and closed at one
end, has it's open end dipped into a cup
of liquid hydrogen. the intense cold
cOndenses the air into a kind of snow
which settles to the bottom. If, then
the upper part of the tube, from which
the sOlidified air has fallen. is removed
by heating and sealing it off, it be-
comes a vacuum chamber so free from
air that it is difficult b force an elec-
trio current through it.

Fishing For "A Drink.

A guide who has done more or less
plug fishing on MOoselOOkmeguntic
lake says he can get drink of nice,
cold water when he is anchored on q
lake, provided the water is deep
enough. For deep fishing it is custOma-
ry to sound for a clay bottom before
casting anchor, and our informant
claims that he can sound to secure n
cool drink. He ties a weight to the
bottom of his coffee bottle, and with
the string tied also to the cork he
drops it to the bottom; then by quick
jerk pulls the cork, the bottle fills with
cold, clear water, and he has only to
pull it in.-Phillips PhOnograph.

THE HEATHEN CAN WAIT.
A Squatter's Idea of Where Charity
Should Begin.


The other day an old Squatter came
to the city and attended divine services
at Il fashionable church. The old fel-
low listened with rapt attention to the
sermon, occasionally nodding in ap-
prOval or shaking his head in uncer-
tainty. When Il man with the cOntri-
button box approached, the squatter
asked:
whats up?"
I'VE are taking up a collection for
the heather, and as you seemed to be
so much interested in the sermon

"Why, he doesn't know anything
about the gospel, and we want to raise
money enough to send it to him."

Strong Bank Notes.

So firm is the texture of a genuine
Bank of England note that burning
can hardly destroy it. The authorities
have in little glazed frame the re-
mains of a note which was in the
great fire of Chicago. Though cOln-
pletely charred and black, the note Is
sufficiently legible to establish its gen
uiueness and be cashed.
