Consider Himself Dead.

Gown the end, which results in the
candle floating perpendicularly. as
shown in the illustration.
But what is to prevent it from burn
ing down to the surface of the water
and going out?
That is the secret of the trick, and
not one person in a hundred would
think Of the true cause, which is very
simple and natural.
The candle loses its weight as it
burns; the remaining portion, growing
lighter, keeps rising to the top, pull
ing the nail up with it; the water
maintains the same distance from the
wick it had in the beginning of the ex.
pertinent, and the candle burns mer-
rily away until it reaches the end OF
its wick, when there will still be
enough tallow left to support the nail
If it is small enough-and then it
is your turn to laugh.

Position Of the Orange.

hemisphere Or cup. With a renknife
or toothpick bore two holes in the
bottom of this cup and put it into a
tumbler, forcing it down about half
way. nH8& N
The tumbler should be little
smaller than the orange used, SO that
you will have to squeeze the peel
cup little in order to get it in
Then it will press firmly against
the glass and stay where you put it
instead of dropping to the bottom.
Put the cup in right side up, that is.
with the yellow peel below, and pour
red wine into it. The wine will run
through the holes, and you must keep
on pouring until the level of the wine
in the glass just touches the bottom
Of the cup. Now fill the rest of the
glass above the orange cup with
water, and await results.
Soon you will see thin red JET
of wine rising like fountain through
the water from one of the holes. Al
the same time, though you cannot see
it SO well, a colorless stream of water
flows downward through the other
hole
The two liquids do not mix much
but merely exchange places, SO that
in few minutes the lower part OF
the glass, below the cup. will contain
the water. and the upper part will be
filed with water.
This is as it should be, because
water is heavier than wine and nat
urally goes to the bottom. The curl
Gus thing is that the wine and water
do not mix. but each selects one hole
for itself. 1t is like the trick with the
candle burning in lamp chimney
with partition at the top, so that
cold fresh air goes down on one side
while the hot air and smoke escape on
the other.
Oil may be substituted for the wine
or you may fill the bottom OF the
glass with water, and then pour in
milk or some thin-colored syrup.

scarce known by name. they dot the
ground
:, With motley colors, starry forms.
IN them the sunset skies are found
That follow after storms;
And blurs of crimson, blue and gold.
Iheir graceful chalices unfold.
While mid the dead leaves pile and
pent
Humbly they live and die content,
huge oaks above them lift their heads
And drop the acorn, shed the leaf;
tne harvest field far round them sheds
Flenty In many sheaf,
And they, half fragrant, brighten eartn,
Low In the shadows where there
or pain or pleasure, love or life,
Far from the worlds mad, ceaseless
strife.
ihey speak no message, act no part,
Ihey have no works to show;
Deep hidden here they touch no heart.
And do not ask to know;
Yet II one meet the eye of man
u all unfolds the master plan
The power that painted this fair
bloom,
For man can have no futile doom.

The City Of Silence.

Ancient Greece, hundreds of years
ago. was divided into several indie
pendent states. One of these was
sparta and the men OF Sparta were
wonderfully strong and brave, and 50
warlills that all the neighboring cities
and states were much in fear of these
herce men, who fought for the love Of
6ghting.
Now. about twenty miles south Of
Sparta there was another city, called
Amyclae, which was still free, al.
though constantly in dread of being
captured by its northern neighbors.
There were constant reports that the
Spartans were coming, and the peo-
pie were in such an excitement every
time these false reports were spread
that at last the leading Amyclaeans
passed law forbidding any one to
mention Sparta by name on pain of
death.
But st last the Spartans did come,
and. although some of the Amyclae-
ans heard of their approach, they
were afraid to give warning to their
friends, for fear Of the punishment
threatened.
So the Spartans attacked the city,
which was, of course, not in state
of defense, and it was taken and the
people made captives to their enc
mics.
That was time when strict obedi-
oOca tn law c3uSed dire raSrltS
was r. not?
