A LESSON IN GEOMETRY.
Easily Demonstrated With a Wood
en- Ball and Pieces of Cord.

v
en- Ball and Pieces of Cord.
There are some propositions in math-
ematics that we can prove with perfect
accuracy without making use of fig
ures. There, for example, is that we'll
known theorem of plane geometry
the surface Of a sphere is equal to four
times the surface of a great circle.
That reads as If we were going to give
you something dry and embarrassing.
but read on and you will find it Just
the other way, for we are going TO tell
you how you may prove that PROPOSE
ton with croquet ball and piece of
cord.
The croquet ball is a sphere, and the
section made in it by passing plane
through its center is great circle.
The radius Of the great circle, there
fore, is exactly equal to the radius of
the sphere.
Now, saw the ball through the center.
thus dividing 1t into two hemispheres.
and, laying one of them on the table,
with the fiat part down, drive II small
nail in the center of the round or up-
per part. To the nail tie the end OF a
cord, and then wind the cord around
the nail and the rounded surface of the
half ball until this surface is entirely
covered by the cord. Cut the cord
where you stop winding.
Then take the other half of the ball
and drive small nail in the center of
its fiat part, tying to the nail piece of
cord exactly like the piece first used,
and wind it around the nail spirally,
pressing it down so that it will lie flat
on the surface of the circle. Cut the
cord when the surface of the circle is
entirely covered and when you COM
pare the two cords &c will find that
the piece first used !. eXuctly twice as
long as the second.
This proves that the surface of a
hemisphere is equal to twice sur
face of great circle and that there.
fore the surface of whole sphere is
equal to four times the surface of a
great circle.
So that we demonstrate an important
theorem Of geometry simply by using
ball and a cord.-New York Herald.

A Coin Trick.

Place little mucilage on the rim Of
wineglass, turn the glass over on a
sheet Of white paper, and when the
mucilage is dry cut away the paper
close to the glass. Put the glass mouth
downward on sheet Of paper like that
which covers the mouth of the glass.
Make paper cone to fit over the glass.
Now lay penny on the large sheet Of
paper by the side of the wineglass.
Cover the glass with the paper cone
and place the whole over the coin.
Command the coin to disappear. and
on taking off the cone the coin will APP
pear to have obeyed your command.

Too Sleepy to Love.

Marion's big brother was going to
get home early that morning from a
long absence, and all the family got VI
to welcome him. Marion was walked
up two hours before the usual time and
was very sleepy even after her bath
and breakfast. When her brother
came, she did her best, but could not
conceal the yawns.
"Why, Marion" said her mother
"you are only half awake!

had been whole awake, | wouldn't

er said.

Give me a cane, and l will make it
stand unsupported in any position l
please" said young man at an even
ing party recently.
A cane was handed to him, and, sit
ting down, he placed it between his
knees. Next he stroked it up and
down two or three times, meanwhile
mumbling some unintelligible words,
and then he took his hands away, leav-
ing the cane in slanting position. To
the surprise of the spectators, it did
not fall. but remained as firm as
though 1t were rooted to the ground.
Before | offered to do the trick"
he afterward said, 81 fastened to my
trousers near my knees a piece Of wire
so thin as to be practically invisible.
When sat down and began to stroke
the cane, began gradually to move
my knees away from each other, and
in this way the wire was drawn out
to its full length. The cane was then
leaning against it, and naturally it did
not fall when took my hands away"

Canadians Worried.

Not only in Europe but in Canada,
"the American invasion" causes dis
quiet. The cry is raised that the
Americans are overrunning the North
west Territories with the deliberate
intention of outvoting the Canadians
and changing the allegiance of the
section from England to the United
States. The Toronto press having
been thrown into a fit, on the sub
ect, the United States Consul there,
Mr.. Edward Gunsaulus, was asked
to supply a sedative, and this he did
in an interview in which he said
81 am sure the only motive that
prompts Americans to come into Can
ada is to better their conditions and
they have no idea or desire OF chang
ing the political complexion of the
territory. Canadians don't seem to
grasp the fact that Americans do not
desire to annex this country. l know
the character of the Americans who
are going into the Northwest. In the
first place | believe they are loyal
Americans and will retain fond rec
election of their homes. Still, many
of them are of that rowing class OF
which the Western emigrants are
mposed-restless people who do
not remain long in one place. They
have moved from Illinois to Iowa,
Iowa to Kansas, Kansas to Oklaho-
ma and the Dakotas and now they
are over into Canada. Politically, L
do not see that the matter is OF any
significance. AS to the matter ever
assuming situation similar to that
in which the English found themselves
in South Africa, so that the Amerl-
cans in Canada will be placed in the
position of having to fight the Cana
dams, it is absurd to contemplate"
But this failed to ally the anxiety,
and there are Canadians who believe
that this country is only waiting for
pretext upon which to annex their
entire Dominion some fine night. Ii
the Canadians wish to Join their fort
unes with those of the United States
they can apply for admission to the
American Union. Some day they
may want to get in, and they will be
welcomed no doubt. Bat as to any
electoral invasion, the fear of which
stirs the Toronto people and Others
across the northern border, or more
severe one still, they need not worry
