A Brilliant Scheme with which to

When Herr Hopf and his little blue
pitcher appeared in the corner ex-

Among them was man with three
walnut shells and a pea.
''Ive been losing at all the fairs"
said the shell man, "but just to show
my generosity l am willing to lose
again. bet any man a dollar that he
can't pick out the shell that the pea
Is under"
Herr Hopf fished bright silver dol
lar from his pocket.
IL bet vonce too"
The shell man arranged the shells.
and the Tcuton lifted one. OF course
1t was empty.
"You lose!"
"Vonce again, yah"
There was a quick movement, and
Herr Hopf saw the pea slide under
the shell. He lifted that one, but it
was empty.
'Is der limit"
"No, SIR"
"vell, bet on each she'll"
He placed dollar on each Of the
three shells.
"Now, can't lose"
"You are right And the dealer
again arranged the shells. The Teuton
picked up two empty shells and found
the pea under the third,

"You VIM And the shell man took
in the SO and handed the winner So.
II blay vonce again
There was q movement of shells, and
again the dealer took in SO and gave
Herr Hopf 81. Then some one whis-
tied, and the shell man vanished
through the door.
II vim steady. He vas blay no more"
and even missing the dollars could not
convince Herr Hopf that he had not
been winning.-Chicago News.

Heat Radiation.

The tendency of heat to diffuse itself
is effected by radiation, conduction and
convection. Nearly all dull and dark
substances are good radiators, while
bright, polished surfaces radiate badly.
Some substances conduct heat more
freely, than others, silver among the
metals being the best conductor, and
as unit of measurement is taken at
1000. Compared with silver as a con
ductor, gold is 9S1 copper S45, zinc
Cal, tin 422, steel 397 and wrought iron
436. Glass wood, gases liquids and
resinous substances are bad conduct
ors. Water is such n poor conductor
that II heat Is applied to the top it will
boil at the top, while the bottom will
remain cold. - Newcastle (England

"Jest befo' the revenue fellers cap
tured the last moonshine still around

Tennessee, 1--WE had fo'teen kegs of
whisky in the shaft of an old iron
mine on the side Of the mounting.
That shaft was 20 feet deep and grown
about by bushes. Arter the whisky
had staid thar over two years it was
planned fur me to take 1t out and sell
it and divide UP the money. The old
woman knew of the plant, but 1 wasn't
goin to say nuthin bout my gettin the
kegs out. She was reckonin all along
that some one else would do that. One

nigh the place as l could, and along

to the old woman:
