The Earth's Crust.

The greater part Of the earth's crust,
the water and the air, consists Of but
few elements. Oxygen forms one-half
by weight, silicon quarter, aluminium
iron, calcium, magnesium, sodium and
potassium combined form twenty-three
per cent, leaving about two per cent
for all the other elements. Chemical
compounds rarely contain many ele
ments. Various groupings of the same
elements produce new substances. Car
bon signalizes itself by peculiar adap
liability of Elasticity. 1t forms nu
cleii for aggregation, and these nuclei
are bonded together to form compli

Pinning a Professor Down.

A fact well known to medical men
is that frequently after a patient has
swallowed or even imagined he has
fish bone or pin, the sensation of pain
will be complained of for long time,
even though nothing is lodged in the
throat. 1t is often hard to convince
a patient that his feeling Of distress
is altogether due to imagination.
Such patients will go from one ply
sician to another, still convinced that
the object is sticking in the throat.
In such cases it is justifiable trick to
fool the patient by producing substi-
tute pin which the operator has at
hand and which he triumphantly
shows to the patient after touching
the throat with some instrument. This
invariably satisfies the patient and
cures him.
The professor wished to make an OBJ
ject lesson Of this phenomenon and ad-
vised the students to watch for the look
of satisfaction on the patients face
when the imaginary source of irrita.
ton was recovered. After a prolong-
ed examination, says the New York
Times, the professor, with an assum.
ed air of exultation, handed the sub
stituted bright pin to the patient, only
to be greeted with the disguised re-
mark of the man:
Nav, OATS not it. / swalleyed q
black pin"

The chances Of marriage or old
maidenhood have been the subject Of
many superstitions, which vary In
different parts Of the world. In
Norway the girls used to weave a
wonderful net of the finest hair,
working ten minutes of an evening
by moonlight, In the belief that
those who toiled successfully for
ahirty moonlight nights would surely
be married before three years had
passed. The girls who broke the
hairs given them to work with or
who tore holes in their nets, were,
of course destined to be old maids.

When meat Is frozen, It should be
soaked In cold water until all the frost
Is extracted and then be cooked In the
usual way. If this is not done and the
frost remains in, the joint Will be found
