The boys all started to 60 on their

Of its diameter carefully, and place it
on the table. Then we lift the coin
with the help Of two needles, inserting
the needles at the two marked points,

pressure Of the air, with remarkable
velocity, and will remain in motion, as
n little blowing from time to time will
keep its speed from slackening
But how can we find the diameter of
the coin in the right moment? This is
very easy. Take a piece Of paper and
draw, with the help Of a compass,

silver dollar, and draw a straight line
through the centre. Placing the coin

WHERE THE YAoUI RIVER FLOWS
A Tale of Love and Hate Contributed d
 by Ned White.

In the Lsnd of Manyana,
 Where the Yaqui River flows. Once there lived a senorita,
 As pure as any flower that grows. Youth and beauty hear my story, Hear the tale I now impart- Of a faithful, loving maiden,
 Of a YoInan's broken heart. Years ago there came a stranger To the sunny land of rest, To the land of Manyana,
 Where all homes with peace are
 blessed, He was weary; long he fingered
 Tn g MeHican abode, Welcomed there by Anita,
 In her brown eyes beauty giowed. Innocence with all it's beauty
 For the Sringo, had it's charm, But Romero, the maiden's father,
 Little thought there would be harm. Yet the soft-tongued. cruel Gringo Told the lass the story old, or a love that never falters,
 Of a heart that's never cold. Then Anita learned to love him,
 Trusted that his vows were true, Until the day that he departed,
 Never bidding her adieu. Years have passed now and the sum-
 light
 From her once bright path has flown, The tender love that once she cherished Now to bitter hate has grown. Time has passed and old Romero
 Is at rest on the estate, Where Q gray haired Mexican woman
 Tells this tale of love and hate. Yes, she tells the neighbors daughters, When the evening shadows fall, How she used to love a Gringo.
 Oh, so handsome, fair and tall. Eagerly the maiden's listen,
 When they hear Anita speak. Sad they are, when tear drops glisten On her hollow, wrinkled cheek. Adios, her heart was broken,
 Trampled like a faded rose, Tn the land of Manyana, Where the Yaqui River flows. DOINGS OF THE TOWN. Oscar Penn came down from Super
