An EOIian Harm.

To make an 9olian harp construct a
box of very thin pine, cedar or other
wood, five or six inches deep. seven or
eight inches wide, with a length equal
to that of the window in which it is to
be placed. Across the top, near each
end, glue a strip of wood half an inch
high and a quarter of an inch thick
for bridges. Into the ends of the box
insert wooden pins. like those of vio-
Lis, to wind the strings around, two
pins in each end. Make a sound hole
in the middle of the top and string the
box with small catgut or first fiddle
strings. Fastening one end of each
string to a metallic pin in one end of
the box and carrying it over the
bridges. wind it around the turning pin
in the opposite end of the box. Tune
the strings in unison and place the box
in the window. 1t is better to have
four strings, but harp with a single
string produces an exceedingly sweet
melody

Holes In Everythtn 9. .

You are skeptical about the accuracy
of this statement and ask why water
does not leak from bottle if there are
holes in everything2 The answer is
simple enough-the drops or glohulee
of water are bigger than the holes.
Taking glass as an Illustration, we find
that air is about the only substance
that can get through those holes.
A scientist proposes the following as
an experiment: Place bell in bottle
exhausted of air and Theoretically
sealed. The bell will not ring because
the medium for conveying sound is not
there.
Set the bottle aside for a few months,
then try the bell again, and it will ring,
family, perhaps, but nevertheless there
will be n sound. That means that the
air has got in. 1t has made its way
through the holes in the glass.
The incandescent lamp is bulb of
glass exhausted of air SO that the slen-
der filament may glow when the cleo
tricity runs along it. The air works
its way in gradually ana the light be-
| comes less brilliant In proportion.

ROMduce udS pldyeu Il prolnlltul part
with regard to the longevity of deer.
What says the highland adage?
Thrice the age OF a dog is that of horse,
Thrice the age of horse is that Of man,
Thrice the age Of a man is that of deer,
Thrice the age Of deer Ia that of eagle
Thrice the age of eagle is that OF an oak tree.
This is to assign the deer a period of
more than 200 years, and the estimate
is supported by many highly circum-
stantial stories. Thus Captain Nc
Donald of Tulloch, who died in 17I6,
aged Sc years, is said to have known
the white hind of Loeb Trieg for 80
years, his father for like period before
him and his grandfather for GO years
before him. So in 1926 Macdonald of
Glengarry Is reported to have killed a
stag which bore mark on the left ear
identical with that made on all the
calves he could catch by Ewen-MacIan-
Og, who had been dead $50 years. Anal
ogous stories, it may be noted, are told
in countries on the continent of Europe
where deer are to be found in any
number.-Chambers' Journal.

Co1eridge,. Classification Of Rc,der,

Coleridge says: READERS may be d.
vided into four classes-first, sponges,
who absorb all they read and return it
early in the same state, only little
dirty; second, sand glasses, who retain
nothing and are content to get through
book for the sake of getting through
the time; third, strain bags, who retain
merely the dregs of what they read;
fourth, mogul diamonds, equally rare
and valuable, who profit by what they
read and enable others to profit by it

Dollars In Odd shnpes.

| Cnder the law a silver dollar may be
a grain and half over weight or u
grain and half under weight, and this
limit of tolerance" applies TO all Of oui
| silver coins. In other WC.tls, they are
not allowed to vary more than that
much from standard. In the case of
| goldpieCes, the limit Is half grain
either way up TO the eagle a variation
Of us much as one grain being pcrmissi-
bic in the $40 and $50 pieces.
Whenever fresh batch of dollars is
turned OFT at the mint, samples are
forwarded to the treasury at Washing
ton. where they are put through very
curious process. Each dollar is first
weighed on cXquisitely delicate scales
to make sure that 1t is heavy enough
and yet not too heavy. Then it is pass
ed between two steel rollers again and
again until it is fattcned out and
transformed into a thin strip of silver
sort of ribbon--a foot and a half in
length. Then it is put beneath little
machine provided with several small
punches, by which hundreds Of tiny
disks are punched out of the metal
strip.
Now, the object of this performance
is to obtain samples Of metal from all
parts of the dollar. inasmuch as it is
conceivable that one portion might be
richer in silver than another. The little
disks are shutflcd together. and a few
OF them, taken at random from the lot
are subjected to en- assay. Thus the
tincncss of the material of the dollar il
ascertained with absolute accuracy
and, the weight having been already
determined. the value and correctness
OF that coin are perfectly known.
The sample pieces having been found
correct, it is inferred that the entire
batch of dollars is all right.-Saturday

Natural Waters.

All natural waters contain greater

luton. Rain water has the smallest
percentage of solid impurities Of any,
and therefore it is taken as the stand
ard variety OF soft water.
The terms soft and hard. however,
as applied to water are scientifically
considered purely relative.
Water Is usually reckoned to be
soft" when it contains less than one
tlve-tbousandth rart of its weight of
mineral ingredients and hard" when 1t
contains more than one four-thou-

Soft water has the property Of easily
