hurry. Mr.. Turtle =
Say 'ouack, quack. quaek,' and rub your
feet together three times" said Mr.. Turtle.
Miss Duck did so and then jumped into the
pond Just as Mr.. Fox was about to grab her.
She swan clear across without getting wei
a single bit, and then she went to the party
with her dress as nice as ever.
When you say 'ouack, quack, quack.;
you must rub your hands together above the
glass and sprinkle the lycopodlum on the
surface Of the water. or course, Jour sr-
dience will say that they do not believe that
your story is true, but to prove that Il IL
so you must now put your fingers In the
water and bring up the penny which lay 1t
the bottom of the glass. The penny win be
wet, but your fingers which were immersed
in the water will be perfectly dry.
You can conclude by saying that all ducks
learned that trick. and they did II 50 much
that at last the water got quite used to not
wetting them, and although they do not
bother to say, "ouack, euack, quack, ;. and
rub their feet together now, still they usyes
get wet at all.

Here is one more trick which is just the
thing for amusing and entertaining parry
of young people. 1t is very simple, inoeeo'
and still IT can be made very ehectiVe py
giving a little speech of introduction.
All that is required for this trick is large
tumbler of clear water, penny and little
lycopodium, which you can get at any drug
store. Place the glass on small taoie IN
full view of everyone, drop the penny IN IT.
but hold the lycopodium in your nano' 30
that none of the rest can see 1t.
Now is the time to arouse the interest Oh
your audience. Ask them II they have ever
heard how 1t happened that ducks could go
in the water without getting wet. You know
TINT water runs off a ducks back ana
feathers without even dampening tnem'
Your little friends will, Of course, say tnat
they do not know how 1t happened, and tnen
you will tell them this:
Miss Duck once started to Sunday scnooi
nicnic. wearing a crushed strawberry SILK
dress. and she was just sure that she was
going to look finer than anyone else there.
As she was strutting down the road picking
out the best places to walk, Mr.. FOX came

You'd better have de dawg.'
'Aw. garn.' said Frank again. He was
not offended by the reference to the ties
unbecomingness. Pete, who yearned to put
1t about his own neck, had carroty hair ana
freckles. There was moments pause
some few bantering remarks, aud when tney
parted again Pete's hair was relieved Dy tue
red tie and Frank carried the yellow, wrig-
gly pup joyously home.
He was named Dewey at once. What de-
cent, self respecting pup at that time would
have been called by any other name! But
though his title was one of conqueror,
there was none of the conquering hero in
Dewey's Homecoming. Instead, when Mrs.
Smith saw Frank coming in with his new
found friend. she waxed vigorously angry
and drove them both out with broom.
what dye mean, bringing in yellow
dawg to my house?" she demanded. "Ain't
| got enough mouths to feed, let alone you
come bringing in yaller dawg? Git outer
here. an l tells yer, you'd better git out
quick"
Frank fed precipitately down stairs, and
the last thing he heard was the violent
swish of the broom on the hall floor, and
his mothers parting admonition, Drown
dat dawg, an don't you come back till you
do
When he came in to supper his face
beamed and he sat down with joyous light
in his eyes and dear doggy smell on his
hands.
'.where's dat dawg?" demanded the ma
ternal voice.
Hes gone" said Frank equiyocally. He
did not say where. Down in the cellar there
was a soap box, with a bed Of newspapers,
and in 1t. whining at the rope collar which
bound him to his unwelcome quarters, was

The influence Of electric discharges
ON smoke was shown by Lord Raylelgh
in a beautiful experiment illustrating
a recent Royal institution lecture; a
large glass globe was filed with
dense smoke from burning phosphorus,
and a wimshurst machine was then
made TO produce inside the vessel an
ordinary brush discharge OF very
rapidly osclllating electric currents
The effect was magical, the globe be-
ing cleared from smoke In a few sec
onds through the cohesion of the par
Iicles and their settling upon the glass
The possibility is pointed out that Lon,
don fogs some day may be disslpaleui

not the brush discharges on small
scale may be made at least to act as
