the more surely to conceal our presence
all lights upon the ships were extin-
guished. The precaution of the com
mander even went so far as to have the
smooth metallic sides of the cars black
ened over SO that they should not reflect
light and thus become visible to the
Martians as shining speoks moving sus-
piciously among the stars.
The precise location of the great pow
er house on the shores of the Syrtis
Major having been carefully ascertain
ed, the squadron dropped down one
night into the upper limits of the Mar
tian atmosphere, directly over the gulf.
Then consultation was called on the
flagship, and plan of campaign was
quickly devised.
1t was deemed wise that the attempt
should be made with single electrical
ship but that the others should be kept
lowering near ready to respond on the
instant to any signal for aid which
might come from below 1t was thought
that, Notwithstanding the wonderful
defenses which according to Aina's ac-
count surrounded the building, a small
party would have better chance of sue

we intended to pass with the disinte-

to give us uninterrupted passage.
AT first the intention was to have 20
men, each armed with two disintegra-
tors (that being the largest mum Der that
one person could carry to advantage),
descend from the electrical ship and
make the venture But after further
discussion this number was reduced
first to dozen and finally to only four
These four consisted of Mr. Edison,

we could not help feeling that her

1t was about an hour after midnight
when the ship in which we were to
make the venture parted from the re-
mainder Of the squadron and dropped
cautiously down. The blaze of electric
lights running away in various direc-
lions indicated the lines of innumerable
canals with habitations crowded along
their banks which came to a focus at a

A Home Made Magic Lantern.

Those boys and girls who are not the
happy owners of a magic lantern will
be interested to know that almost the
same results may be obtained with
materials that may be very easily cb-
tanned. They consist of the white
cloth-or paper will answer-upon
which the pictures are thrown, of
mirror, a candle and some paper
figures.
Equally simple is the performance.
Having stretched the cloth against n
wall in a darkened room, set lighted
candle opposite to it on a table, with
book or a similar object intervening,
so that the light will not directly
strike the cloth, but keep it in COM
parative darkness. Then hold the mir
ror sideways before the candle at such
an angle that the reflection Of - will
be thrown on the cloth. You have thus
secured the slide itself, square or
round as the form of the mirror may
be. 1t yet remains to introduce the
picture. This is easily done. You must
only hold a paper figure between the
candle and the glass, and it's shadow
on the mirror, reflected on the cloth,
gives in silhouette the form of the pa
per.
Moving it forward between the
candle and the glass, the figure will
appear to walk more or less leisurely,
or a regular promenade may be ar
ranged, with two or more figures NOV
ing in opposite directions. Other
motions will readily suggest them
selves to the imaginative mind.
1t is. however, necessary to remem-
Der that the picture show in silhoutte
only, so that only the outlines of the
paper can be depended upon to give
shape and form.

place, they asked where the fire was,
and the boy answered coolly, Il don't
think there is any now, but if there
is, it is all in this trunk"
The trunk was opened, and it was
found that the fire was out, smothered
by lack of air. The fremen compli-
mented the boy on his action, and the
other who had turned in the alarm
fastened to say, why, 1 could have
done that if 1 had thought of it,'
If ne had thought of it-that is where
the point comes. That is where so
many of us fail. What is done by the
clear, cool-headed person in an emer-
gency is usually something simple,
something that anybody could do.
Our brains were given us for use,
but we are not getting the full use OF
them if they refuse to serve us when
we need them most Very often we
make the mistake of thinking that we
can do nothing to prevent this fail
ure, and so go on in the same old way,
letting our brains play US false at
critical moments, when, with the right
sort of training, they might have
helped us to be masters of the situa-
ton, instead of being mastered by it.
Training can accomplish a great deal.

1t will be found intensely interest
ing to study the nature of the winter
buds of various trees as they prepare
to unfold in the spring. They should
be taken under observation just be-
fore they actually open, when they
are being excited by the warmth OF
the season.
Most large, scaly buds will reveal
their complete history for the coming
season as relates the growth. They
will be found to contain miniatures
of leaves and stems-in some cases
the flowers, too.
The scales of leaf coverings also
have interest for the observer in their
varying forms. The horse chestnut
has coating of a sticky substance, as
though to keep out the elements.
Others will have velvety coverings
like cloaks to keep them warm and
dry.
Some buds will cover flowers only,
and these may be made to introduce
spring by their being cut on branches,
placed in water and stood in warm
sunny window. The fuzzy buds of
elms should be among the observed.

Every Day is the Fest Day,

Every Day Is the Fest Day.
Some skies may be gloomy.
Some moments be sad,
But somewhere, always,
Some souls may be glad:
For true is the saying
Proclaimed by the seer
Each day is the best day
OF somebody's year,
Each day finds a hero.
Each day helps a saint.
Each day brings to some one
A joy without tint;
Though it may not be my turn
Or yours that is near
Each day is the best
OF somebody's year,
The calendar sparkles
With days that have brought
Some prize that was longed for,
Some good that was sought.
High deeds happen daily.
Wide truths grow more clear
Each day is the best
Of somebody's year,
No sun ever rose
But brings joy behind;
NO sorrow in letters
The whole earth can bind:
How selfish our fretting
How narrow our fear
Each day is the best
OF somebody's year,"

How to Cut a Pear in Two.

A pear suspended from the ceiling
by a piece of thread is to be cut ex
actly in halves as it falls, after burn
ing the thread on which it hangs. How
can we find the exact spot to place
the knife on a chair or the floor so
that the pear in falling will be cut?
This is done by dipping the pear in
glass of water. After suspending the
pear few drops of water will fall on
the exact spot, which must be noted.
These preparations must be made be-
fore your exhibition, so that the audi
ence will only see the suspended pear,
without knowing anything of the drops
of water. When the moment for the
performance has arrived, place tine
edge of the knife on the exact spot,
then burn the thread, and the pear
falling will be cut in two.
This experiment can also be done

or's goose used by President Andrew
Johnson when he worked at his trade
as journeyman in the then little vii
lage of Laurens- johnson went to
Laurens when he was seventeen years
old. He entered a shop there, ad
worked for two years. Just before
the end of that time tradition says
that he proposed to Miss Sallie
Hance, a beautiful young woman who
worked in the same shop His pro-
posal was rejected, and soon after
Johnson went to Greenville. Tenn
There he was married to Miss Eliza
McCardle. a young lady or culture and
refinement, who taught him how to
write. When he left Laurens he left
in the shop all his working tools,
among them the goose. Miss Hance
used the goose. and afterward gave it
to Miss Marian Simmons. who had
entered the shop after Johnson had
left Miss Simmons bequeathed 1t to
her niece, Mrs Shirley B. Whatley, in
whose possession it now is.
