Gently on its side. The barrel will roll
and wriggle beneath them, and when
you tell them that a rule Of the game
is that no jumper must stay on the
barrel more than thirty seconds, one
or two OF them will be out of it at
the start. for they will be quite unable
to get their balance in that time SO
that they can get in their favorite
jumping position.
The best Of them will be able to
jump but few feet from their tick
lish perch, for the barrel will roll be-
meath them, offering no resistance to
the backward push of their feet when
they try to jump.
Now you yourself take a turn. You
stand about two feet from the bar
rel and jump lightly upon it, but the
instant your feet touch it you jump
again and sail through the air, landing
several feet beyond the farthest mark
made by the others. The secret is
that the momentum of your first jump
carries you forward, and that when
you Jump from the barrel you leap
straight up in the air, not for
ward, for the momentum Of your first
jump carries you on far enough. The
ground below the barrel lends resist
ance from that direction, while there
Is none to keep the barrel in place

MORGAN A LIBERAL elvER.
Philanthropic Societies Helped BY Him
in Secret

III CGCfGAe
Although ]. Pierpont Morgan is
credited with gifts to philanthropic
enterprises which reach 100000 a
year, his name does not appear on
any Of the ten buildings In the city
which were built with his money. The
greatest secrecy surrounds his charit-
able work. which is much more ex-
tensive than Is generally supposed. As
a matter OF fact, Mr. Morgan is well
up toward the bead Of the great Civ
ers of the world. One Of his chief
philanthropies is keeping boys on the
street. As vestryman in st. Georges
church in Stuyvesant square, Man
haitian, he has organized club for
this purpose. and out Of the club has
grown the New York Trade school, as
well as a smaller trade school con-
nected with the church. Mr.. Morgan
endowed the first club with $500. .O0O.
Among the gifts OF Mr.. Morgan are
81 900 900 to Harvard college, $780,
600 for a private hospital in Stuyve-
SAINT square, 100000 for the Cathe-
dral OF st. John the Divine, 100000
for the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation, $500, 900 for the Loomis Hos
pital for Consumptives. 100000 for a
library in Holyoke, Mass, where his
father was born: s125.OO0 for preserv-
ing the palisades. 1886. 900 for new

In the death Of George L. Watson,
the yachting world has lost from its

Birds with Teeth.

Birds are simply reptiles which have
shed their scales and teeth, grown
wings and feathers, and invaded the
dominion of air. The very oldest bird
Of which science has any record had
very sharp teeth, rather weak wings
and a long tail adorned with twenty
pairs of quill feathers. Some Of these
birds were not able to fly at all, and
they nearly all lived on fish. Gradual
ly, as they developed through the
centuries, they grew more feathers,
longer and stronger wings, lost their
teeth and got sharp, hard bills instead.
There were no birds before the rep
tilian age. and every bird that flies TO-
day traces its ancestry back to
sharp-toothed snake. So the old joke,
AS long ago as when hens had teeth,
is not SO much of a joke after all.
