Game of slyphs.

For active young folks the game OF
sylphs is the latest form of amuse-
ment. 1t is in reality electric battle
dore and shuttlecock. The two play
ers hold a wand each, these wands
having been electrified by friction.
The shuttlecock is represented by a
butterfly made OF collodion. The but
terhy is thrown into the air. and one
or other player approaches the tip OF
his wand TO the so-called sylph: the
electrified wands repel the butterfly.
which skins away as the wand draws
near. In this way the butterfly is sent
flying hither and thither without being
touched. A very good game. with prop.
er rules, is made from this idea.

If she smiles, ever SO lightly, she is
out of the game; but il she can keep a
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 a straight face.
This goes on until there remains

Rowing lis a Great Strain.

Every lad in the land grows enthu-
siastic when he sees or reads about a
close contest between oarsmen for
the mastery over each other and in
wardly VOWS that when he grows to
manhood he will show the world feats
of skill and strength that will awaken
admiration. But he does not stop to
consider at what cost the oarsmen of
to-day reach the perfection necessary
to insure a triumph over their rivals.
A medical paper discusses the
health of the oarsmen" and comes to
no very definite conclusion as to the
effect of training and racing on the
after life of the varsity star. Some
years ago the late Prof. Morgan in his

that the atmospheric pressure out
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 tight joint between that
and the glass. SO that the outer air
cannot get inside the latter.
For the second experiment expend
plate as shown in the picture and
adjust the strings SO that It will
hang level. Get bottle with 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 a moment.
The hot steam will take the place OF
the air in the hollow. and II you now
press the bottle firmly against the
under surface of the plate and hold
1t there for moment or two yon may
take your hand away and the bottle
will not fall on. This is merely an
other illustration of atmospheric

Rainy Day Marbles is pretty good

do this by moving in front of another

STONE Eoresfs

The regions of the Little Colorado
river in Arizona abound in wonderful
vegetable petrifaction-whole forests
being found in some places which are
hard as flint. but which look as II but
recently stripped of their foliage.
Some Of these stone trees are standing
Just as natural as life. while others
are piled across each other Just like
the fallen morarchs OF real forest.
Biologists say that the trees were once
covered to the depth of 1000 feet with
mari. which transformed them from
wood to solid rock. This mari. after
the lapse Of ages. washed out. leaving
some of the trees standing in an up
right position.

to the outside of the ring and start
again.
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 a black dot
or marble he leaves his pin in 1t to
show that it is ''out" of the ring. and
after that, every other marble" he
captures counts him two. for he must
go 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 1t.
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.

Pretty Dolls Of Paper.

The materials required are very
few and simple. A few old fashion
plates (these can. no doubt. be OBJ
tanned from mother). some thin card
board, little tissue and thick color
ed paper, a pair of sharp scissors and
a bottle of gum or paste are all that
are necessary before you start to
work. First cut out the figures from
the fashion plates as neatly as pos
sible and If there is an arm or hand
that falls at the side. cut around Il
up to the armhole OF the dress, as
shown by the dottded lines in the

diagram, leaving just the width of the
