Making Agate Marbles.

q, Nearly all the agate marbles that
wear holes in the pockets of, all
schoolboys are made in the state OF
Thuringia, Germany. On winter
days the poor people who live in the
village gather small square stones,
place them in molds sometimes like
big coffee mills and grind them until
they are round. ;=z., The marbles made
in this way are the common china,
painted china, glazed china and imi-
tation 7agates. Imitation agates are
made from White. stones, and are
painted i to- represent the pride of the
marble players heart-the real agate.
The agate painted china: marbles are
Of plain white stone, with lines cross
Ing each other at right angles painted
upon them. Glass alleys are blown
BY glass blowers IN the town at
Lauscha. Germany The expert work

Oddities of the Arctics.

During the summer months much
of the land becomes free from snow
and ice under the joint action of sun
and wind, and the snow that resists
removal is darkened by deposit of
fine dust particles. In this season
the animals wear their darker cloth
ing, and birds have by way Of change
a less gaudy plumage. The back
ground against which they stand
would betray their presence if the
white dress of winter were worn now
then, too, it makes it possible for
the foxes, ducks, and other animals
and birds to crafty a natural vanity
by putting on, for a time at least, an
other coat.
In winter white is again worn. The
background is now snow and ice, and
the only chance which the arctic
chicken now has to deceive the fox
is to roll up like a ball and simulate
a lump of ice. The ice bear is
equipped successfully to creep upon
the ever-watchful seal, because he
looks like the other blocks of white
around him. He remembers, however,
his black nose, and is said to be
sharp enough to cover it with his
paw while approaching his doing
prey-St. Nicholas.

THE INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE AT HENLEY.

Of the many thousands who crossed
the Atlantic to see King Edward
crowned there were few who were not
found along the banks of the Thames
to cheer their countrymen on to VIC
tory.
The Henley course during racing
week presents one Of the gayest and
most brilliant spectacles to be seen in
England during the entire season, and
there are none who enjoy the festivi-
ties more than the light-hearted
Americans, who try to forget the. de-
feat of Harvard in 80, Yale in '94,
Cornell in '95 and Yale again last year,
and who we're on hand this summer
as usual to trumpet for Old Eli and
urge our. oarsmen to exert themselves
to their best.
Next to the Derby, it may be said
that no sporting event in England calls

crowded with pleasure craft: Hardly
a hands breadth of blue water is va

the boats will ever find room to race.
Nobody cares to move. Everyone is
occupied looking for the crews. The
scene is far gayer than any midsum-
mer American scene. The, men are
out in flannels, blazers and straw hats,
scanning the river with field glasses,
waiting impatiently until their favor
lite crew pulls evenly down between
the cheering line OF spectators. Scat
tered among them are the American
men, in sober coats: watching for
their countrymen's colors, that they
may give them rousing cheers. If
American colors are popular at home
they are triply inspiring when seen

there is the f1aunt of partisan ribbons,

Circling the Cane,

ASK some one to take position in
the middle of the room. Give him
stout cane and tell him to stand the
cane on the floor and bend over and
press his forehead against the canes
handle. Let him catch hold of the
cane with his right hand foot or two
below the handle and rest his left
hand, closed, on his left knee. Ask
him to stand thus for two or three
minutes, then to move slowly around
the cane, still retaining the same at
titude. He will not be able to keep
up this circulr motion very long, for
a strange giddiness will gradually
overcome him, and his only hope of
safety will lie in his staggering to
some piece of furniture which he can
grasp.

Annual l1enleY 12e6a11a
= Scene 8 H Beauty

The splendid semi.social function
which is held annually at Henley on
the Thames took on an added interest
to Americans this year in consequence
of the fact that the two greatest anna
teurs of the American continent were
there to battle with the Oarsmen OF
Europe for the famous diamond sculls,
and that no less than two eight-oared
crews from this side of the Atlantic
contested with the great university
teams as well as those from Britain's
most famous rowing clubs, for the tro-
ply that up to the present time has
never been taken from the oarsmen of
the little island.
The attendance of Americans ut
Henley was greater this year than ever
before, for it is a safe conclusion that
