centre or his eyes, Then he lies down
on the ground at such a distance
from the tree that the top OF the
stick, when placed upright against
the soles of his feet, will be in line
with his eyes and the top of the
tree.
In other words, he forms a right
angled triangle, Of which his extended
body, from his eyes to the sofes of
his feet, is the base, the upright
stick, the altitude and the distance
from his Heyes to the top of the stick
the hypothenuse
There must be, therefore, a similar
right-angled triangle formed of the
distance from his eyes to the base
of the tree, from his eyes to the top
OF the tree, and from the height of the
tree itself. AS the base and the alti-
tude of this triangle are equal. it
follows that the height of the tree
IS the same as the distance from the
eyes to its base.
This homely, but perfectly salts

to determine the height of factory

becomes necessary to make certain
alterations to secure greater or less
draught. the dimensions of the stack

What a Boy Can Do.

Little Platt r. Spencer lived in the
woods OF the Catskills. With very lit
tie encouragement for learning, from
his earliest years his great wish seem
ed to be to write. Up to his eighth
year he had never owned sheet of
paper, but had marked on any smooth
surface he found.
At this time he got hold of a big
copper cent, almost the first money he
had seen, says Success. He entrusted
his coin to a lumberman, and asked
him to buy sheet of paper at the
lumber camp, twenty miles away. Late
that night the messenger returned.
The boy, wearied with waiting, had
gone to bed. At the sound of the ar
rival he awoke, his first thought be-
ing Of the promised paper. He arose,
and with feyerish eagerness tried to
make characters on the smooth, white
surface.
Paper he could not afford every
day. especially as he soon moved with
his father to the frontier In Ohio.
There, birch bark, sand banks, snow
writing surfaces. His schooling was
very meagre-a few months when he
was twelve years old-so he had to
dig out his own learning by pickering
candlelight. Books were scarce, and
worth any hardship to procure.
To continue the study Of arithmetic,
he had TO have book, and heard he
could get one twenty miles away. It
was winter, and he had no shoes, but
he walked barefoot on the frozen
ground and secured his treasure.
Darkness came on and found him
miles from home. His only food had
been frozen turnips found in a field.
At length he found a settlers cabin,
where he was sheltered for the night.

or the table with his fingers or with
pincers, tongs, a knife, fork or spoon.
When everybody has considered the
problem and given 1t up, put your
mouth within a couple of inches of
the coin and blow suddenly and as
hard as you can on the table just in
front of 1t. The air will pentrate
under the dime, lift it up and carry it
little distance, and you must hold
your hand or cup, ready to catch it.
Hardly anybody who does not
already know the trick is likely to
think of this simple solution.
Though simple in theory it Is not
SO easy in practice. 1t takes a very
sharp, strong puff of air to lift the
coin SO high that you can catch it
without touching the table The huff
must be directed exactly to the right
spot. and the hand must be ready to
catch the coin at the proper instant.
You had better practice the trick until
you can be sure of doing it every time
before you show it in public.

The Plains Of MANY Lands.

main plains no matter by what name

however, divides the surface of the
earth into the two great sections of
high lands and low lands. He draws
the line roughly between the two at
1,20o feet. 1t would. therefore, seem
that plain need not mean a large
tract of level ground, but may even in

plains are alike in this, that they are
either bare of plants or possess plants
of very similar character. In the
northwest and center of Europe the
plains are called heaths; In Hungary

west of Asia, steppes; In the north of
Russia and Siberia, tundras; in Afri-
ca, deserts; in North America, prai

supposed to have been once under

Good old.Fashioned Games.


Trucking the Trencher-This is an
old English game. The children sit
on the floor or kneel, in ring; a per-
son in the center holds the treneher,
or wooden plate and when all are
ready he truckles, or spins it, at the
same time calling the name of some
one in the ring. The one named must
spring quickly and try to catch the
plate between both hands before 1t
stops spinning. II he succeeds, he
takes the place in the center, and the
first trucker goes in the ring If he
does not catch the plate between both
hands before it stops spinning he pays
a forfeit and is counted out.
Then there Is the play of "Twos and
Threes." The company is grouped In
twos and threes, usually only one odd
one, and the fun consisted in not be-
ing caught as the third; this keeps
each child looking over her shoulder
