The Thievlna Mink.

Indians believe the following story
about\ the Mink. This animal was
such a thief that at last all the ami.
mails held council about the matter.
1t was decided to burn him. So they
caught the Mink, built a great fire and
threw him into 1t. AS the blaze went
up and they smelled the roasted flesh
they began to think he was punished
enough and would probably do better
in the future. SO they took him out Of
the fire. But the Mink was already
burned black, and is black ever since,
and whenever he is attacked or ex-
cited he smells again like roasted
meat. The lesson did no good, how.
ever, and he is still as great thief ~
ever.

Glass Blowing for Amu,ement.

sS""S8 toF HWu8emGnys
Boys cannot blow glass so as to
make bottles and goblets and other
arucies OF that kind, but they can
amuse themselves for hours by melt
ing DTS OF glass and joining them to-
gether, or by melting small glass tubes
and either drawing them out to mere
threads or blowing them into little
eailoons until their surface is as thin
as soap bubble and almost as fra
gile.
The glass tubes referred to are
smaller than the end of a pipestem.
are about four inches in length, and
are made of very thin glass. A dozen
OF them may be bought for few cents
at any place where chemical supplies
are sold.
For this glass blowing amusement a
homemade blow pipe will be needed,
and that any boy can make without
trouble. Get two common clay pipes,
and break off the stem Of one about
three inches from the little end. Then
get cork that exactly fits the bowl
OF the other pipe, cut hole through
1t large enough to insert the mouth
piece already broken of, and draw
this piece through the cork until the
larger end Is flush with the surface of
the cork.
Now put the cork in the bowl of the
pipe. and fill the small end of the
inserted stem with clay. Make a hole
through the clay with a needle, and
h1Nr,ptrn 10
To use 1t on glass. the flame Of a
common tallow candle is all that you
need. Take piece of broken window
glass. and hold it with your left hand
close to the flame; then. holding the
blowpipe SO that the shorter stem
nearly touches the flame, blow stead
lily through the pipestem a current of
air into the flame. This will send the
flame on to the glass, and the heat
will be so great that the glass will
soon become red-hot, melting mass,
which may be worked into various
shapes with pair of pinchers. Or
several bits Of glass of different colors
may be joined by turning the full
force Of the flame on them.
but IL is even inOTe amusing 10 ex-
pertinent with the glass tubes. Blow
the flame on the end of one Of them
until it becomes red-hot, and then with
the pinchers press the ends together,
thus closing it. To make balloon all
you have to do now is to heat the end
that is closed, or rather that part of
the tube near the closed end, and then.
laying aside the blowpipe blow into
the open end of the tube with your
mouth. II you do this before the glass
has had time to cool. the tube will
expand at that end until it forms a
bubble. or balloon. and il you blow
long enough, and the glass is hot
enough, you may make 1t about as
thin as soap bubble.
Some of the boys may want to know
why blowpipe increases the heat Of

Stopping Different Vehicles.

The French committee Of automobile
trafflc has made q series of expert
ment for the purpose Of comparing the
quickness with which horse vehicles
and automobiles can be stopped. At
a speed of seven and a half miles per
hour the horse vehicles can only be
completely stopped at thirty feet. the
motors at ten feet. At speed Of ten
miles per hour. one-horse vehicle
stopped at forty feet. the motors at
thirteen and half feet. At a speed
of twelve and half miles per hour
the distance increased to forty-three
and third feet and sixteen and three
quarters feet, respectively.

The false face is put on the back

Cunning Of the Jasuar.

In the more tropical parts Of South
America the rivers are often crowd
ed with alligators. They are ugly

are best given a wide berth. When

knows the risk he runs and acts ac-
cordingly. Standing on the bank he
