When A. A. Robinson, of the

Now Mr.. Robinson prIdes him

branch of the railroad service.
Upon this occasion it struck him
that the machinist was not doing
his work correctly.
"My friend" he said, "that is
wrong The machinist, who did
not recognize the railroad mag.

Suppose it is; what business
is it of yours?'

railroad manager answered stern

but you see we have so many visl-

our work that we can't tell one

Mr.. Robinson who is full of
humor, laughed heartily and as
sured the machinist that his job
would not be interfered with.
Investigation revealed that the
machinlst was executing the work
correctly, and that Mr.. Robinson
was wrong.

To whom all praise, all honor
should be given,

Who Art In Heaven.

The magic mirror" Of Japan is a
disk Of bronze, usually from six to
eight inches in diameter, 1t is silvered
on the front, which is a little convex,
and there is a raised pattern on the
back, which is rather concave. The
polished pattern is generally a land
scape, flowers, animals or Chinese
characters. 1t is not visible In the
front Of the mirror, but when strong
sunlight is reflected from the front Of
the mirror to a wall or screen thespat-
tern Of the back is visible on the
screen in bright lines. on a black
ground. Professor w. e, Ayrton, f.,
r. S., with Professor John Perry, f..
r. s., was the first to give the true
scientific explanation Of this magical
effect 1t seems that the design on
the back alters the convexity of the
front, making it 1at-in fact, along
the lines Of the pattern. Consequently
the light reflected from the front is
not dispersed at these points Of the
design, and they appear brighter on the
screen,-LOndon Globe.

Lake CayuRa's Mysteries.

Lake Cayuga is one Of the wonders
OF the eastern states, 1t is situated in,
west central New York and is upward
Of forty miles in length, with an aver
age breadth Of but three miles. One
Of its peculiarities is this: Although
hundreds Of persons have been drown
ed In its waters since the settlement OF
the adjacent territory, not a single
corpse has 80 far been recovered, and
1t Is a common saying that "Lake ca
yuga never gives up its dead" Those
who have made an attempt to fathonl
this mystery say that the bottom OF
this remarkable sheet OF water is SIM
ply a series Of large openings and
craterlike cavities, the entire lake bed
having the appearance Of being one
huge honeycomb, each Of the weiR-
like holes being reputed to be bottoma-
less.
Another Cayuga mystery is its Ir-r
regular tides. There is no stated time
for their appearance, but when they
do come they are very decided, the
water often instantly receding 50 to
100 feet and as quickly returning with
roar that can be heard for mileA.--l
