wire has a curved hook which sur
rounds the spindle on the top. At the
point of the long loop is a guide
through which the string feeds to the
top. To put the top in motion the
cord is given a single turn around the
spindle, the free, long end is inserted
in the guide, and the hook of the spin
ming wire is placed over the spindle
underneath the cord. 1t is obvious
that sudden and strong pull on the
cord and an equal resis tance with the
other hand will hold the top station
ary in vertical plane, while the rap
idly moving cord will give motion to
the spindle to rotate the top as the
cord is drawn through the guide: When
the string has passed through the
guide there is no further resistance
and the top drops of it's own accord to
the floor, maintaining it's motion for
great length Of time. Frederick w.

chine for squeezing the lemons by the
dozen might prove of some value as a
labor and time saver. The machine he
has designed for this work, and which
is illustrated herewith, has fat base
to rest on the bar or counter, with a
series of semi-ellipsoidal projections
raised on the upper face of the bottom,
on which the halves of the lemons are
impaled. The machine has a hinged
presser plate with vertical posts at
each end of the base to support a
pivoted bar. This bar carries a screw
threaded shaft, with a hand-wheel at
the top, and an enlarged head at the
bottom to engage the presser plate. To
operate this squeezer any number of
lemons from one upward are halved
and placed on the projecting knobs,
when the presser plate is tilted down
and the bar locked across the top be-
tween the posts. The screws then
lowered until it exerts the required
amount of pressure on the plate to
f1atten the lemons and force the Juice
out into receptacle provided for the
purpose.

New Forces Suuqested.

Anovel experiment lately shown the
London Royal society by Mr.. T. c.
Porsfer was. performed with a little
Waner IN beaker having nearly verti-
cahsldes. When the water was rotated
aboht vertical axis, the pressure was
leaAt in the center and increased out
waAd, and when near boiling point and
heat was applied, steam formed only
in the region of least pressure, produc-
1ngsa gaseous core. The rotation was
set up by stirring with a rubber GOV,
ereq glass rod. Curious phenomena
were shown by the column of steam
when the water was first stirred and
then allowed to come to rest while
still being heated, the water at first
having concave surface and the core
OF steam being practically continuous
from bottom to top. This, was fol
lowed by stage Of perplexing pulsa-
tons. Some forms of the steam col
umns resembled solar prominences,
and 1t was suggested that the latter
might. be due to diminished pressure

Dark Planets.

Mysterious dark bodies have been
seen occasionally to cross the suns
disc. An English astronomer has
collected accurate dates of nine of
these transits, the earliest being June
6, 1851, and he finds that these dates
indicate the existence of two un-
known planets within the earth's
orbit, with periods Of about one hun
dred and seventy-four and twenty
days respectively. One Of these
bodies must be nearer the sun: than
Mercury: with q mean distance Of
about 13,000,000 miles. = The other is
calculated to- revolye between Mer-
curry and Venus at a distance OF about
61,000,000 miles, and should have a
diameter OF l,70o. to 1000 miles. At

La Prensa Of Buenos Ayres is prob

in the world. It is housed in mag

cost some $2,000,00O. Upon the
ground floor, besides the usual bus
mess Offices, are a luxurious con-
sulting room, where a doctor, with
five qualified assistants, attends to
over 100 patients a day free Of

On the second floor is q we'll

Adjoining it is a room where Span

Elsewhere is a hall given up to

La Prensa itself, says the Pitts

about 100000 a day, and the profits
from the paper are rarely less than
100000 a. year, but some of this
goes to the upkeep of the establish

How Thompson'S Watch Cost

BY WILLIAM BLOSS,

Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. co.,
"Gentlemen OF the leisure class
don't carry watches, nowadays" said
our host, Thompson, dogmatically,
pausing to light second cigarette.
James, since Captain Barry wishes to
be exact, you may look at the library
clock and. tell him what time it Is"
ut is striking eight o'clock, SIR"
replied James, respectfully, as he
quietly filed the Captains glass.
There was a snug party of six
lounging over their wine and tobacco
after dining regally at Thompson's
bachelor board. Barry had to catch
train for St. Paul at p. m. He
wanted to stay just as long as pos
sible before summoning cab to take
him to the depot, and upon consult.
ing his watch for the hour had been
seized by forebodings as to the ac-
curacy of the hands. His inquiry as
to the right time had led to the
hosts remark.
Barry flushed little as it fell. The
assertion seemed to his mind super
cilious and barbarously ,un-American.
Barry himself was man of the peo-
pie, and was proud Of it. So, too, was
Thompson, or had been, once.
What do you mean by gentlemen
of the leisure class you gray-haired
fraud" he demanded, in half anger.
"Do you mean to say am no gentle
man because I carry watch and like
to know what time it is when l have
train to make?"
Certainly not" replied Thompson,
with placidity. "Of course not. You
are gentleman because you are a
man of education, intelligence, good
breeding and some ancestry"
Huh" grunted the modified
Barry, What then?"
But you are not" continued the
host, "a gentleman of the leisure class,
because you busy yourself with your
commercial affairs and even at your
age continue
AT my age! I'm full five years
younger than you are.'
Thompson waved the interruption
aside as irrelevant. II was going to

RABBIT PROOF FENCE

In the projecting sides or between
Stats nailed to the end, as shown in
the cut.
The bottom piece may also be al
lowed to project so as to make the
door more secure when closed. A
small hole is bored through the top
at about the middle of the box, and
midway between this and the door a
stick is secured in an upright position.
Across the top of this latter a sec
ond stick is secured by a nail in a notch
made in the upright one so that it
will seesaw up and down. A third
stick of small size is notched near one
end and secured at the opposite end by
means of a piece of twin to the end
of the larger movable piece. This NOV
able piece is now connected by Irvine
at its forward end to the top of the
door, when the trap is ready to set.
The door is elevated, the little stick
passed through the hole in the top
and secured by the notch to the front
edge of the hole. When the rabbit
enters, it pushes the projecting end
of the stick before it, setting it free,
allowing the suspended door to de-
scend and thus cutting off it's own es-
cape. The traps may be baited with
q piece of apple or cabbage placed in
the end farthest from the door.-Cin.
