With the help of electricity in its sim

tertaining feats can be performed, such
as the following: Get a plair sheet OF
glass about twelve inches long by eight
wide and insert it between two vol
umes, as shown in illustration. The
distance of the glass from the table
should be about three inches. With the
help of scissors cut a number of small
figures, such as men, women, clowns,
animals, ETC., not higher than Ia
inches out of different colored paper.
Lay the little figures fiat in a line on
the table underne cath the glass. Make
a sort of ball of wooden, or, better yet,
silk cloth, warm 1t a little and rub the
surface of the glass with it. You will
notice immediately how the electricity
obtained by this process enlivens the
little paper figures. How they stand

little ballroom, to be repulsed n tall
back. only to renew their dance. Ii
YOU stop rubbing the funny actions or
the figures are continued for awhile.
when the dance is ended the touch OF
the hand on the glass is sufficient to en-
liyen the figures again.

DRAcoINo FOR FOUNDERS.


How the Net L. Constructed and
Handled.
BThe scheme of our fishermen was to
scrape the bottom at a slow pace. The
net was a good sixty feet In length, a
sort Of Irvine fence that rose to a
height of thirty feet or SO at the middle
part and tapered to six or seven feet
at the ends, which were each bound
with a stout piece of wood and bridled
on to the drag-lines that led to the
sloops.
On these drag-lines were short wood
cen Stats, of about the stoutness of
fence palings, placed from six to eight
feet apart. Twisting and twirling and
ever moving forward, the Stats were
calculated to create a panic among any
founders that might be outlying and
scare them toward the center IF the
line of advance.
The founder is a slow swimmer, and
It IS a sedately moving arrangement.

Is not only q slow fish, but also one

the advancing line of netting, 1t is his
habit to seek a quiet spot. The quiest-

search are the inviting pockets that
open out left and right on the net
These pockets were sufficiently wide

so rapidly do they taper, it would take

ing more and more of an industry, al
though there is only the home market.
Consul General Bellows, of Yokohama,
says in a recent report, that fruit
growing has not hitherto been an i'm
portant industry in Japan, and that
there have been very few farms on
which fruit formed the staple crop.
But the Japanese are now paying much
attention to fruit growing. What he
has to say about the fruits of Japan Is
of interest:
Fruits originally cultivated, and
prabably native to Japan, include the
orange, pear, peach, sour plum, al
mond, grape, persimmon, loquat, pome-
granate, ginko or salisburia, and fig.
The 'mikan,' or Japanese sweet orange,
Is smaller, sweeter, and'fess juicy than
the oranges raised in America, and the
thin membrane separating the sections
Of the fruit is tougher; 1t has a very
pleasant flavor, and is much used for
food by both natives and foreigners.
1t Is cultivated all through the warmer
regions Of Japan, and is the most plen-
tlfHl of the fruits raised here being
found In the markets from early au-
tumn until late the following spring.
THE persimmon m next to the
orange in the number produced, and
is a favorite with the natives, u Its
season is comparatively short. II
closely resembles the p~ersimmon OF our
Southern States. The sour plum is
extensively cultivated and yields a
good crop, but the other fruits named
above, though more or less widely
grown. are produced in much smaller
