To Judge /. Rtver,. BREATH.

HW IO UUUB0 u 6t1VCf'o nESAOtns #
It is necessary to make use only Of
the eyes and the brim Of 8. hat to meas
ure the width Of any ordinary stream
or even Of a good sized river, and here
is the way to do it:
Select a part Of the river bank where
the grounds run back level and, stand
ing at the waters edge, fix your eyes
on the opposite bank. Now, move your
hat down over your brow until the
edge of the brim is exactly on a line
with the water line on the other side.
This will give you a visual angle that
may be used IN any level surface, and
if, as has been suggested, the ground
on your side of the river be fat you
may clay off" a corresponding distance
on it. To do this you have only to hold
your head perfectly steady, after get
ting the angle with your hat brim, sup
porting your chin with your hand, If
necessary, and turn slowly around until
your back is toward the river. Now,
take careful note of where your hat
brim cuts the level surface of the
ground as you look over the latter, and
from where you stand to that point
will be the width of the river, a dis
lance that may readily be measured by
stepping. If you are careful in all
these details, you can come within a
few feet of the rivers width.-Detroit

The world of the Solid.

We live amid matter in three char
sacteristic states-solid, liquid and gas
eous. But since hydrogen has been
both liquefied and solidifed, the inves-
tigator, say Professor James Dewar,
Is introduced into a world of solid
bodies. With the aid of the cold fur
nished by liquid hydrogen every gas
eous substance at present definitely
known to the chemist, with the single
exception of helium, can be solidiied.
Even helium, Professor Dewar hopes,
may yield to the processes now being
employed at the Royal institution in
London. Liquid hydrogen is so light
that the only solid substance that will
float upon it is pith. Solid hydrogen
has a temperature 436 degrees F. below
zero. When exposed to the cold vapor
arising from liquid hydrogen, air is in
stantly turned into solid, falls like a
miniature snowstorm into the vessel
containing the hydrogen and sinks to
the bottom.-Youth's Companion.

Her Latest Brenk.

"My ~six-year-old girl is an awful
chatterbox,'' said a broker, "and the
worst of it is that when we have guests
at the house she is continually making
breaks of the worst sort-breaks that
tend to rattle the dry bones of the fam
lily skeleton in the closet. Recently
when we had company at dinner she
allowed her tongue to run away with
her, as usual, the result of which was
that she very much embarrassed both
her father and mother, although the
guests, I am free to say, seemed de-
lighted. I had a very serious talk with
herand impressed upon her, or tried to,
that she must not tell any family Sc
cret. The next time we had company
she was permitted to come to the table
only by promising that she wouldn't ut
ter a word. She behaved beautifully
and had nothing to say until the des-
sert was about to be taken away. Then
her lips began to culver, and finally she
burst into tears. why, what's the mat
ter, darling?' her mother asked. II

a family secretv she walled between

Ingenious Identification.

The English papers are telling a
story of Sir Hiram Maxim which is to
the credit of the mutoscope and Lady
Maxim's ingenuity. Sir Hiram and
Lady Maxim were staying at a south
ern watering place. When the time
came to pay the bill on leaving, the
landlord of the hotel looked askance at
the proffered check. He knew the
name, but had no evidence that the
signer was the owner Of it. And Sir
Hiram had not enough cash in his
| pocket to meet the case. Then Lady
| Maxim invited the proprietor to go
down to the pier, put a penny in a GER
| tain slot and look. And he saw a civ
ing picture" Of Sir Hiram firing a
Maxim gun in the presence of the shah
of Persia. That was conclusive.

Nutritious Value of Oysters.

The popular belief that the oyster is a
most nutritious article Of diet does not
rest upon any scientific basis. The oys-
ter as a food could not satisfy the de-
mands Of the human body. While the
oyster, when not stewed, is very pala-
table, wholesome and easily assimilat-
ed by weak, impaired stomachs, it can
not be contended for a moment that it
contains such elements and nutrition as
may be found in beans, rice or potatoes.
There is very little, if any, fatmaking
or muscle building material in the oys-
ter. Its composition is largely nitrog-
enous, and, being rich in phosphates,
it is generally regarded as an excellent
food for the brain, but a man reduced
to an exclusive diet Of oysters would
soon find himself deficient in adipose
tissue and in those elements that go to
make up physical force and vitality IN
the human body. .

The Alligator.

Woman's demand the world over for
alligator skin purses, pocketbooks and
bags has resulted in the practical ex-
termination of the animal In the south
ern states of America, and that within
ten years. The extinction of an ami
NAL in such great numbers in 80 short
a time is unparalleled, but it is under
standable in face of the fact that one
house in the trade in New Orleans is
credited with having sold half a mil
lion alligator skins a year. Now it has
been found impossible to get large ALI
gators for the geological gardens in the
northern parts of America, and ALI
gator shooting has ceased to be a sport
because there are practically no more
alligators to shoot.

Wall Paper Worth Il Fortune.

A portion of one of the walls Of an
old fashioned, u~npretentious residence
in Albany, N. Y, is adorned with wall
paper valued at upward OF 100000,
says the Boston Herald. To be more
specific, the wall paper mentioned is
valued at the rate of $50 per square
inch. This high priced wall paper con-
sists of very rare revenue stamps,
priced in current stamp catalogues at
$3.50 each and readily sell for 500 per
copy. Fairy tales of apartments hav-
ing walls plastered with stamps Of
priceless value have gone the rounds of
stamp journals, but this is a true story

the matter personally and vouches for
