THE SUNDAY-SCHOOLL LESSON
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-11-08

Water may be toiled in paper ket-
tie without burning the paper. You
make a little box or kettle of legal
cap paper, fill it about a quarter or
half full of water. and hang it up by
four threads, one in each corner, over
spirit lamp. The water will soon
begin to boil but the paper will not
burn. This is because all the heat
from the lamp is used up in cbanf ig
the temperature of the water from
cold to hot. AS soon as the water has
really boiled and you are satisfied that
the first statement made here is all
right, pour the water out and in its
place substitute scme small pieces of
tin. If you watch you will be sur
prised to see that the tin will have
melted before the paper will begin
even to burn. But of course this is
not making the paper fireproof by
any manner of means, and it is only
because of the water or the tin that
the paper does not burn. If you want

MAGIClAN'S TRICK

There are many tricks of the magi-
clan that an ingenious boy can per-
form with neatness and skill, and thus
afford entertainment for a company
when other forms of amusement have
become tiresome. Nobody ever gets
tired of magic, and the boy who can
perform little feats of this kind is
always popular; besides, he learns
something himself and teaches it to
others. The trick here described is
an illustration of specific gravity.
Get an ordinary mustard bottle and
pour water into it until it is three
fourth full Make two holes in the
cork through which stout straws will
fit, the straws to be about eight inches
in length. One of them is put in so
that it will extend down into the neck
of the bottle. Put sealing wax around
the straws where they pierce the
cork, so as to make the openings air
tight
Now, take two walnut half-shells,
and bore hole to fit the straw in the
bottom of each. Put one of them on
the straw that extends higher out of
the cork, and make it fit tightly with
sealing wax. Put the other one on
the lower straw, make the joint air.
tight with sealing wax, and then into
a second hole, previously bored in this
she'll at the side put a straw that will
extend down diagonally. Put sealing
wax around this also, for all the joints
must be both air-tight and water-tight.
Now, pour water into the upper
shell. and it will run down into the
bottle, causing the level of the water
there to rise; but as the bottle has
been made perfectly tight, the air in
it is compressed when the water is
poured in, and that will make the

Where Woman Is Boss.

There is a remarkable community
in Abyssinia where the women, with
out holding meetings or agitations of
any kind. have emancipated them
selves, says Golden Penny. All the
women work hard, while the men are
idle; but by way of compensation the
house and all it contains belongs to the
wife. At the least unkind word she
turns the husband out at night, in
storm or rain, and he cannot come
hack until he makes amends by the
gift of COW. The wife considers it
a duty to abuse the husband, and if
she were weak enough to show any
love for him in life or grief at his
death she would be scorned by her
tribe. The wife, without any reason,
may strike her tent and go, taking
with her one-third of the joint pos
sessions. The husband, unless he is
travelling, may not live out of his tent,

placed to receive it. Just as much
water will run out as you pour into the
upper shell, so that you can never fill
the bottle.
All this is done so that anybody can
see the operation; but to make it a

THE STRANGE FIGURE

school droned away at appointed tasks
in the drowsy interlude.
Suddenly there was a terrific crash,
a clattering tinkle of broken glass, a
howl from a boy near the window.
Twenty knees banged the desks be-
meath as twenty boys jumped. Then
before any of us had found our wits,
Jimmy Jenkins had jumped over two
benches and was down on the floor
in the girls aisle, gripping something
between his knees.
"I've got himi" he announced, with
the air of a general
Got what?' tt 1ndered the master.
Got a partridge. He's an old bus
teri" said Jimmy.
He Strengthened up, holding by the
legs a fine partridge whose stiffening
wings still beat his sides spasmodi-
cally. He had been scared up in the
neighboring woods, and when he
reached the unknown open places he
was more terrified still. A terrified
grouse always flies straight, and he
had driven like a bolt throught the
schoolhouse window, and killed him
self by the impact.
A bird that could wake a drowsy
schoolroom and bring living lesson,
full of life and interest, from a drowsy
teacher who studied law by night
but never his boys by day-that was
a bird to be respected.

A sensation has been created in
Montana by a public statement issued
by Charles w. Clark, son of Senator
Clark, accusing F. Augustus Heinze of
attempting to bribe him with S2,500,-
600 to secretly work against his
father, the senator, and secure the
election of a legislature and judiciary
favorable to Heinze's interests.
HeinZe has litigation in the courts in
volving millions of copper mines, and
the Clarks accuse him of trying to
pack the bench.
This charge of attempted bribery
will doubtless lead to renewal of the

as in the other experiment, propose to
your company to change a glass of
wine into water.
To do this you have only to pour
the wine into the upper shell; from
there it will run down into the bottle,
little at a time, and as wine has
less specific gravity than water, it will
remain on the surface of the water in
the bottle.
