Ha-goo a Funny Game.

A game popular among the Tlinkits,
a tribe of Indians in southern ALASKA,
is called lagoo.
The children range themselves IN
two parallel lines. In the center Of
one line is player who holds aluIt
a pole with a brightly colored piece
of cloth floating from it. Then. from
the opposite line advances a little girl
who holds out her hand for the deco
rated stick. while all her companions
make faces, say funny things and
cut capers" to make her laugh
If she smiles, ever so lightly, she is
out of the game; but if she can keep
solemn face she takes the stick and
goes back to her own line while one
of the opposing players moves across
the open space and tries in turn To
keep straight face.
This goes on until there remains
only one player who has not smiled.

An Experiment in Air Pressure.

This article is not an advertise

chinaware and glassware stronger

inre looks like it. No cement or glue
Of any kind is used in the experiment,
and yet the plate and the wineglass,
in the one case. and the plate and tie
bottle in the other, are stuck toget i
er pretty much as if some material Of
that kind were the means employel |.
The adhesive force is nothing more
nor less than the pressure of the at
mosphere; precisely the same fore @
that enables a boy to lift a brick sr

Let us take the plate and the wina-
glass first Suspend the glass from
the ceiling or from a chandelier by
means of a string tied around its
stem. Have ready an ordinary china

side is greater than it is inside the
glass and that pressure holds the
two objects together. The object in
greasing the surface of the plate is
to make a tight joint between that

cannot get inside the latter.
For the second experiment expend
a plate as shown in the picture and
adjust the strings so that 1t will
hang level. Get bottle with a hol-
lowed out bottOm-all wine bottles
are made in that way-and having
rubbed grease around the rim OF the
bottom hold the latter over the spout
Of a boiling tea Kettle for moment.
The hot steam will take the place OF
the air in the hollow. and if you now
press the bottle firmly against the

it there for a moment or two you may
take your hand away and the bottle

For active young folks the game OF

dorc and shuttlecock. The two play

The shuttlecock is represented by
butterfly made of collodion. The but
terfy is thrown into the air, and one
or other player approaches the tip Of
his wand to the sO-called sylph: tne
electrified wands repel the butterfly,
which skins away as the wand draws
near. In this way the butterfly is sent

Each player can move one space to
the next circle in front or to the side
of the space he occupies, but cannot
move back
When a player reaches black dot
or marble he leaves his pin in it to
show that it is out" of the ring, and
after that, every other marble" he
captures counts him two. for he must
90 outside and start over again on
another line with a new pin.
1t is generally the best policy to
devote your early moves TO blocking
another player, and when this has
brought you near to a marble to make
sudden dash for it.
Each player may choose any start
ing point he wishes and when all the
marbles" have been knocked out,
the player having the largest number
to his credit wins the game.
