sink deeper in light liquid than in a
heavy one, because it must displace a
greater bulk to make up the required
weight. OF course, if the liquid is too
light, the body will be entirely covered
and will then sink to the bottom. This
brings us to the very pretty and simple
device by which, without using regu-
lar graduated hydrometer, you can test
the truth of the statement that water is
heaviest at 80 degrees.
This device is merely a blown-out
egg shell, with the holes in it's ends
stopped with wax and weighted with a
bit of wire or coin or two. You have
a vessel, preferably tall glass jar, filled
with water, which you can bring to the
temperature of 80 degrees, or there
abouts by adding bit of ice, then a
dash of warm water and so on till you get
it right, testing it all the time with a
thermometer. Then adjust the weight
on your egg so that it just floats with a
little bit of the shell peeping out of the
water. Very soon you will see the egg
sink to the bottom of the jar.
The next thing to do, supposing that
you are experimenting in warm room,
is to do nothing. The water gradually
warns. When it reaches 80 degrees
again up hobs the egg, but in little
while, as the water continues to grow
warmer, it sinks once more. BY adding
more cracked ice you can repeat the ex-
pertinent as often as you like.-Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune.

They march toward me, rank and file.
A serried mass-linked each to each,
From out the distant mile on mile-
] Far as my shrinking sight may reach
While I must neither pause nor stay
Nor hope to choose another way.
With shrouded heads that none shall see
The hidden face-if grave or gay,
Nor know what may the burdens De
Each carries in that vast array.
One bears, perchance, burning brand
The next q garland In his hand.
I see them come, as night shades fall
A mighty, overwhelming tide.
And, lacking strength to face them all
Turn craven, fam to fee and hide.
But when at last the night Is done
Lo! comes to meet me only one.
But one, and can see his face,
And know the burden that he brings;

THE DENSITY OF LIQUIDS.
A Pretty Device by Which It Can Be
Tested Without the Use of
Hydrometer.

The instrument used for measuring
the density of glass of water or other
liquids is called the hydrometer, and it
is very simple affair, consisting of a
glass or metal float with stem pro-
jecting out of the water. The hydro
meter sinks deeper in light liquids than
in heavy ones, and as the stem is grad
uated or marked off by lines like Their
mometer the mark to which it sinks
gives us the density of the liquid. The
principle of the instrument is easy to
understand. A floating body is held up
or kept from sinking by the weight of
the displaced liquid-that is, by the
weight of quantity of liquid equal in
bulk to the submerged part of the body.
No matter in what liquid the body is
placed, the weight of the displaced liquid
that is, by the weight of the body itself,
if the latter is to float at all; hence it will

tory at the Premature Age
of Six,

There are in Rome nine orphan asy-
lums which accommodate about 1900
children, ranging from three to six
years, says the Pail Mall Gazette.
Those of three or four years must
learn all the alphabet and to read the
simplest books, they must know the
Arabic numbers and to count up to
100, besides which they must learn
poetry and prose by heart, and i'm
bibe religious precepts. Those from
four ito five years must read and write
well, count unlimited thousands and
do sums, besides knowing their cate
chism and Bible, the divisions of time,
the parts of the body, the senses. some
geography and astronomy, to say moth
ing of many other details too numer-
Gus to mention. Then come those be-
tween FIVE and six-if they arrive at
that age. They must read and write
fluently, and learn by heart the greater
part Of the New and Old Testaments,
write dictation, and have some idea of
geometry and Roman history. At six
years of age! The brain reels at the
idea. What must the poor mites grow

MANY ARRESTS IN CHICAGO
Nearly $4,000 Persons Gathered In
by Police During the Last
Fiscal Year.

II every citizen of the United States Is
an American, and it is generally ac-
cepted that he is entitled to that CLASH
fication-then there are a great many
wicked Americans in the country.
Nearly $4,000 were arrested in Chica-
go last year. They all claimed to be
Americans, and declared that they could
give proof of native birth or papers of
adoption. These self-styled Americans
head the lists in the matter of arrests,
without counting the negroes, who were
represented in, the police records by
6, 4S5 of their brethren.
The '.peaceable" Germans were next
in line, which will be something of a
surprise on the North side. There were
6,295 who acknowledged the vaderland,
but who failed to keep the peace in this
country. And then came the Irish, with
3,116 arrests to their creditor discredit.
The Italians had only LILA countrymen
in the tolls, being beaten by the Poles,
who were represented by $685. The Boz
hemians had 992. The Swiss made the
best record because there are fewer Of
them, and, considering their number, the
"heathen" Chinee are the best citizens.
But 104 Of them were arrested In Chica-
60 during the last fiscal year.

thing in the world of which he had q
great store of knowledge it was bees.
The chance at once to take the con-
ceit out of his neighbor and play first
class joke on him was an opportune one,
the man thought; and when the prospec-
tive victim was not looking he kicked
the unruly hive a couple of times in or
der to stir up the inmates to a proper
fighting condition, after which the neigh
Dor was invited to make an examina-
ton and, if possible, to remove some of
the honey.
Accordingly, with broad grin over
spreading his face, the neighbor grasped
the hive roughly, severely shaking it.,
then boldly removed the top, and, with
out the slightest fear, drew forth several
combs of honey.
Myriads of angry bees Immediately
swarmed in the air and
What did they do?
Somebody surely was surprised, for
the little insects, with their stingers
ready, few over to their owner, who
stood at what he considered safe dis
lance, and soon put him on the run,
screaming with pain.
Would you believe it, not one of the
bees attacked the know-it-all man. And
during the week he was compelled to re-
main indoors recovering from his many
wounds, the would-be joker had lots of
time to think it over and endeavor to
figure out why it was that only he was
attacked. He will never know, but per-
haps the bees could tell, If given the
power of speech.-Ross B. Franklin, in

HUNDRED MILES PER HOUR.
Storks Fly at This Wonderful Speed
and Sometimes Keep It Up
for Many Hours.

No living thing, not even scared jack
rabbit, can travel with the speed dis
played by such birds as the stork and
the northern bluethroat. Not only do
these birds fly with speed that can
hardly be conceived, but they keep up
their rapid fight for 1000 or 1000 miles
at stretch without apparently firing.
Evidence has been collected recently
which shows that the bluethroat flies
from Central Africa to the shores of the
North sea, distance of 1000 miles, in
less than day and night, and making
it, moreover, in one uninterrupted fight.
The storks, which spend their sum-
mers in Austria-Hungary and their
winters in India and Central Africa,
are also marvellous travellers, and make
their journeys twice year in unbroken
flight each time.
From Budapest, in Hungary, to La
hore, in India, is about 2, 400 miles in an
air line, and the storks make the jour-
ney in "a hours, thus travelling at the
rate of 100 miles an hour for the whole
distance. The storks which spend the
III CCutId dhu thO WAN
ter in central Africa travel with the
same rapidity.
Slatin Pasha, an Austrian in the serv-
ice of the khedive, and now governor
of the Central African province of Oar
fur, was for many years captive in
the hands of the mahdi and the khalifa
when the dervishes killed Gordon, and
established their empire, now over
thrown, in the Soudan. One day, at
Omdurman, he saw stork with metal
band attached to one of it's legs. He
caught the bird, and found engraved up
on the band the name of an old friend
in Austria
He wrote note to his friend and tied
it to the metal band. When the stork
returned to Austria for the summer the
friend saw the letter, caught the stork
and read the message, which was the
first certain assurance that the outside
world received that Slatin was still
alive. ... ,s
This stork, as was proved by the
dates, made the journey from Omdur-
man to the Austrian country place,
distance of nearly 5000 miles, at a speed
of more than 100 miles an hour-N. Y.

Old Horse Saves Little Child.

Prince, 2O-year-old family horse
owned by William McDonough, To-
ledo CO., grocer, played the part of a
hero recently. The four-year-old
daughter of Mr.. McDonough wandered,
unobserved, into a barn back of the
store and was soon at play on the
floor of big box stall, the freedom OF
which is allowed to Prince and an
other younger and very spirited ami
NAL. During her play the child fell
under the younger horse and might
have been kicked to death had not old
Prince come to the rescue. In the
meantime a search for the child had
been started. Mr.. McDonough went to
the barn, and just as he entered he
saw the old horse softly grasp the
child's clothing, and. lifting her from
danger, deposit her on the hay mans

WISE BEES TURNED JOKE.
No Man Can Tell Why They Did It,
But They Let Mr.. Know-It-

bees, and this man owns a great num-

bodies who so industriously make use of

which contained very unruly settle

portion of the hard-earned goodies; and
many sting was inflicted before the
owner finally gave up the job as bad

stores in peace.
