THE SNOWFALL FIGHT.
Exciting Encounter Expected on tht
 Green This Afternoon.

It is expected that the sophomores and freshmen of Yale will have a snow ball fight on the Green to-day, follow ing an old custom. For the last two or three years this source of enjoyment of the two classes has been spoiled by the lack of snow, but this year they will have plenty. The encounter usu- ally takes place about noon after the recitations for the day are over. The freshmen are allowed to smoke pipes and the sophomores for the first time in the college career can carry canes and wear high hats.

having been on the water for ten days
as when I first placed them on the

But what surprised me most of all
was to learn the weight these floating
papers can carry. One day while was
experimenting with them l rather care
lessly placed large wooden spool on
one of the half sheets. expecting, OF
course, to see the paper go to the bot

pen, however, and my aroused curiosity
prompted me to add greater weight.
Recklessly laid table knife and fork
on top of the spool; to my astonish-
ment the paper still remained floating;
and even when l placed on more
freight, in the shape of four 1-cent
pieces, it obstinately refused to sink. :
DESTROYS of learning the exact carry
ing capacity of whole sheet of floating
writing paper, l first placed stiff piece
of cardboard in its center and then pro-
ceeded to load it with the numerous
articles shown in the Illustration.
That Sheet of paper should float for
ten days was surprising enough, but
that it should float under such a weight
was nothing short of marvellous. Con-
tinuing my experiments along this line,
placed a piece of wrapping paper th1r-
ty by forty inches on the surface of the

water. On this paper 1 first laid two
slender sticks lengthwise; on these
sticks placed large tin bowl, and on
top of this bowl seated my pet cat,
which weighs just five and one-half
pounds. The result was that here pic
tured.
More in spirit of mischief than any
thing else, started bonfire on one of
the floating sheets, and although the
flames burned fercely they did not
even scorch the paper. Returning to
the weight test again, delicate tower
of writing paper eight feet In height
was made and set upon four sheets Of
writing paper. 1t fioated beautifully,
and l ascertained that the actual
weight of this tower could have been
easily supported by single sheet, but
four were necessary to keep it bal
anced.
Later on spun humming top on q
half sheet of floating note paper, with
the almost certain knowledge that its
peg would puncture the paper as soon
as it came in contact with it; but my
almost certain knowledge was rudely
shaken, for the top continued to go
round and round until it stopped of its
own accord and without accident.

Where Pearls Are Found.

Old biographies make the Persian
Gulf the seat of the pearl industry, but
now many beautiful pearls are found
in different parts of America. In the
Mississippi River and it's tributaries in
Minnesota and Wisconsin quite num-
Der of people are engaged in fishing for
the mussels in which the pearls are
found 1t is said that one pearl is
found in every ten mussels fished from
the water The fisherman does not
worry about this. He keeps the shells
and takes them to the button-factory,
where there is always a demand, for,
as you know. boys and girls use up a
good many buttons in the course of a
year and no one ever knows what be-
comes of them. A floating button fac
tory built on a boat travels up and
down the Mississippi. 1t stops at a
place long enough to use up all the
shells and then goes on where there is
another mussel bed or where the fish
ermen accumulate a heap. Some of
the pearls are very valuable and have
been sold for as large price as $780,

MACHINE ALMOST TALKS.
Automatic Screw Tool that Does Won
derfu1 Work.

Automatic Screw Tool that Does Won
derfu1 Work.
The most highly developed of ma
chine tools is the automatic screw ma
chine. and, like many another contri-
vance for saving labor, its home Is
New England. 1t is development of
the ordinary steel-working lathe, the
intermediate step being the monitor
lathe, in which the various cutting
tools protrude from the side of steel
turret like thirteen-inch guns from
battleship turret. In the nonautomatic
screw machine the turret is revolved
by the operator, so as to bring each
tool into play, just as the turret on the
Monitor was revolved to bring one gun
after another into action. But In the
automatic machines the work is done
without human guidance.
In making screws, nuts, bolts, studs
and other small pieces that must be
turned, drilled or threaded for watches,
clocks, typewriters. electrical instru-
ments and other mechanisms, all the
operator has to do is to feed the
'stock"-a long, thin rod Of steel or
brass-to the machine. The feeding
mechanism carries the rod slowly for
ward into the field of action. The
turret advances and puts its first tool
at work on the end of the rod. When
this tool has done its task the turret
wi.hdraws t, turns and advances a
second tool into action. Each cutting
tool around the turret has it's distinct
work to perform-one cutting thread,
another shaping a head, another put
ting on a point, another drilling hole,
still another putting on knurling.
The turret automatically brings each
of. perhaps, six tools into action, and,
when the work is finished, the COM
pleted screw drops into pan, while
the ''stock" is automatically fed for
ward to begin the complex operation
again. A stream of machine oil pours
continuously on the work to carry
away the heat, and the little metal cut
tings collect in a heap under the ma.
chine.
Hour after hour this wonderful auto
maton goes through its cycle of opera,
tions, the turret clicking every mo-
ment as it brings a new tool forward
Small brass pieces. On which only one
tool cuts, are dropped at the rate OF
four a second. Large screws of com
plicated design, upon which whole
turretful of tools must work. are cut
from a steel rod at the rate of one OF
two a minute. So perfectly are these
screw machines constructed. says q
writer in Success. that an unskilled
workman can operate row of them
All he is required to do is to keep them
fed with ''stock." In some shops girls
tend the machines.

The Corn Breeder.

The Corn Breeder
Corn-breeding has become a special
lied industry. The field for this branch
Of farming is very great. as is shown
by the fact that the corn growers of
Illinois alone use over 100000 bush
els of seed every year. OF course it is
not necessary that this seed be secured
from the breeder fresh every year, but
seed will not as a rule remain pure
more than four or five years. 1t then
becomes necessary to again secure
well-bred seed. AS yet the demand has
been but little developed. Farmers are
Just beginning to realize the import
ance and benefit Of improved seed, but

will increase far beyond the capacity Of

Teaching Lambs to Feed.

When a lamb is two weeks old it Is
ready for feeding something in addi-
ton to the ewes milk. 1t is true that
by feeding the eve her milk will be
increased, but the first thing to do is to
feed the ewes, for the sake Of the
lambs, which may be fed indirectly
in this way from the first day Of their
lives. The lambs are easily taught to
feed by themselves If they are. provid-
ed with suitable feeding pens into
which they may go through narrow
openings too small for the ewes. This
is the simplest matter possible. To
catch a lamb and take it into the pen
and put a little of the feed provided
into its mouth is all that is needed; the
lambs will do the rest; for where one
goes all will want to go instanter.-

bed are no better than as many weeds.
If seedlings are wanted to set new

nearly ripe, and hang them up to ripeIl,

which it may be transplanted at year
old. We like good yearling plants bet.

New Paner Tricks.

Nothing is more interesting than the
way in which our preconceived notions
about the physical world are overturn-
ed by experiment. It used to be as
sumed that a heavy body would fali
faster than a light one, until some wise
soul tried it and discovered that all
bodies fall at the same rate. And
fancy that if questioned some people
would say that piece Of paper would
not float for any length of time on wa
ter, and certainly would not bear any
weight. But experiment proves the
contrary. Indeed, the number of things
that can be done with floating paper
will not only surprise old people, but
will furnish amusement for children.

Newspaper advertising Is not only
more direct but it offers more chances
of success than magazine advertising.
The newspaper reaches so many diff
ferent classes of people that there is
always a wide margin for miscalcula-
ton in copy. The big dail1es furnish
many different sets Of ideas. They
reach the sporting man, the society
folks, the merchant, the banker, the
laborer, the woman in the home, all
by matter that is specially prepared to
suit their tastes. The magazine, on
the other hand, furnishes but single
set of ideas 1t treats all matters from
one point of view-the WOman's, the
literary readers, the educational, the
critical. Each magazine aims to ap-
peal to one definite class; therefore
nice discrimination is needed in select
ing magazines to carry certain forms
of advertising. There is a very mar
row margin for errors. When the me-
dunn is fitted to the advertising, it is
sure to reach larger numbers of peo-
pie, however, and the leisure and in
telligence of readers are large factors
