WHAT THE TOWEL SAID.

The front door stood open and
through it came little breeze, a sweet
breath of honeysuckle and clover, 1t
brought the sound of merry volceS, for
school was out and the little folks were
on their way home.
Dick came rushing in and threw his
arms about his mother as he met her
in the hall.
"Now. run up and wash your hands.
Dickie, boy" said mother, 'and brush
your hair"
"Oh, why do l have to? I'm clean
enough" said Dick, GROSSLY, looking at
his hands.
Mother caught them as he tried to
put them behind his back, and Dick
couldn't help laughing as she sang:
"Oh, where are the ten little, clean little
men,
To lunch with me to-day"
"I really didn't know they were so
dirty, mother" Dick said. when he
came down stairs again. "They are all
gentlemen, though, and have put on
Luelr cream CodtS ~ tame iuhIh "i'h '"'
ladies'"
Mother and Dottie laughed, and so
did little Madge.
When mother tucked Dick In bed
that night she said:
"Dick, I have given you a clean tow
ell, and please don't let your little men
leave any advertisement on this one"
"Why. mother, what do you mean?
How can they! What kind of an ad-
vertisement"
"Well," explained mother, "after you
had dressed for dinner to-day I saw
something that wasn't English on your
towel. and yet 1 could read 1t very
plainly. 1t said. Dicks hands are
clean; did It. I'll bring it in and see
if you don't think that Is what 1t says"
Dick thought very hard. and when
mother came back holding up the tow
81 for him to see, little smile came
creeping out of the corners Of his
mouth. for one end of the towel was
very dirty.
"Mother, dear" exclaimed Dick, ''my
little men made q mistake and put
their coats in the wrong place when
they were coming to dinner with you.
I'll see to it that they don't do it
again" And he snuggled down into
The pillow with happy little chuckle
as mother kissed him good night

WATER EXPERIMENTS.

OF course you know that water boils
when heated to temperature of 212
degrees. No matter how much heat
you may apply to it then, the tempera-
ture will not be raised, but the water
will only be the more rapidly turned
into steam, for that is what boiling
does.
There is a way, however, In which
you may raise the temperature Of water
above 212 degrees, though most persons
would tell you that it is impossible.
To make the test and prove it, you will
need a small chemical thermometer,
that Is, one without a tin case. These
are sold at moderate price in the
stores, or, if you prefer, you can con-
vert an ordinary thermometer into a
chemical one by carefully scratching
the divisions of the scale on the glass
tube with a file, and then removing it
from the tin case. If you will fit it in
tin case, so that it will float in the
water without touching the bottom or
the side of the vessel, it will be COM
plete, like those that are used for TAX
ing the temperature of baths.

ROSETTA POPE's SCHOOL.

"What are you doing?"
1t was Rosetta's uncle who asked
the question.
Rosetta looked up with little
laugh.
"rm playing school," she said.
Uncle Leonard came near, and gaZed
at her row of pupils, first in wonder,
then with an amused smile.
"You have some very famous schol-
ars," he observed.
A dozen or more "Author" cards
were ranged on chairs before her, and
each card pictured the face of a man
or q woman prominent in literature.
SIS Tennyson at the head or the foot
of the class" he inquired, his eyes
twinkling.
"Oh, at the headm Rosetta answered.
81 don't know what other people think,
but I rank them first just as 1 like
them, and then if they don't recite
well they have to go down"
"Pray what do they recite?" her un-
Gle asked. Spelling and geography"
"Of course not! They recite from
their own works-here are the les
sonsw and she laid her hand on big
pile of books at her right.
"Do you admit visitorsT
"Oh, yes, sir! Mamma often comes
in. That's the visitors seat" point

of itself, with the encouragement of
the sun.
Last spring it was noticed that the
ball was rotating, and repeated meas
urements have demonstrated the fact
beyond any question. The motion av-
erages about an inch month. 1t will
be noted from the engraving that the
circular unpolished spot at which the
ball originally was placed en- the ped
estal is now about half way up, show
ing a quarter turn of the ball.
Scientists are not agreed as to the
exact explanation of this interesting
phenomenon, though it is apparent that
the movement is due in some way to
the heat of the sun. Probably the heat
causes one side of the bal! to expand
more than the other, thus causing a
creeping motion which is infinitesimal
from day TO day. but which is natice
able after a time.
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1905-08-02

When you have your thermometer,
boil some water for fifteen minutes,
and then let it stand until it cools.
Then keeping it perfectly still, heat it
again, and you will find that the tenn
perature will go few degrees higher
than 212, without causing the water
to boil.
If you will now drop some piece of
metal into the water, it will at once
begin to boil. The explanation of this
is that the air is expelled from the
water when it boils, and the water
with air in it boils more quickly than
water without air in it, so that, at the
second boiling, higher temperature
is reached before boiling begins When
you drop the scraps of metal into the
water they carry air with them; be-
sides, they reduce the temperature of
the water to the boiling point.
Another experiment may be made by
and then boiling it; you will find that
it will take higher temperature than
pure water, for the reason that some
heat is required to separate the salt or
sugar from the water before the latter
can be converted into steam. You may
in this way prove for yourself the de-
gree of heat for boiling various sub
stances.
Still another interesting experiment
consists in boiling some water in a
glass flask; then, while it is boiling,
cork it tightly, and remove it from the
fame. When it stops boiling in the
flask, pour some cold water over the
outside, and it will begin to boil again.
Or plunge the flask into cold water
and the same thing will happen. You
may be able to do this several times
with the same flask. The explanation
is that in a corked flask of boiling
water there is some steam above the
surface of the water. and the appli-
cation of cold water causes this steam
to condense, which at once removes
some of the pressure from the surface,
causing it to boil, as the bubbles of
steam can then escape.
These experiments are all interest
ing and instructive.-New York Even

A NATURAL FISH TRAP.

miles from the island of San Fernando
circumference and from One-fourth to
one-half mile wide. At ebb tide the
reefs are almost completely out of the
water and at high tide they are on a
level with the sea. The difference be-
tween high and low tide is about nine
feet. The bay is completely sheltered
(as shown in the sketch) and the water
within the inclosure is about thirteen
feet deep. During low tide the en-
trance of the bay is almost closed by
shoal. The coast in these ATTITUDES
abounds in fish, for which the Atoll das
Rocas furnishes n favorable retreat,
and at the same time constitutes a
trap of gigantic proportions. This pc
culiar island is formed by an aggrega-
ton of very porous limestone with
numberless holes and crevasscs. form
ing a natural shelter for all fish and
'creeping things" according to report
from United States Consul General
Seeger at Rio de Janeiro.
Rio de Janeiro imports about two
tons of salted or dried fish per week,
all of which could easily be supplied
from the Atoll das Rocas, besides lob
sters and other ''frutti di mare" if
fishing We're properly organized at this
unique island, which, in fact, COnsti-
tutes the greatest natural fish reser-
voir and at the same time the most
gigantic natural fish trap known to
geography.
On his retiring from active service
in 1899, the Brazilian Admiral Pedro
Benjamin de CerQueira Lima, obtained
from the Brazilian Government the ex-
elusive right to the fishing industry at
this island for thirty years, and after
his recent death his children inherited
the monopoly, but they are not making
use of it, and. it is said, have agreed to
dispose of their privileges to company
which has been organized for the pur-
pose.-Philadelphi Record.

Tucked Blouse or Shirt Waist.

The fancy shirt waist, or the waist
that takes an intermediate place be-
tween the severely plain model and
the elaborate one, is always in de-
mand.
1t is useful for many occasions. 1t is
dainty and attractive without over
fuss. and makes an altogether desir-
able addition to the wardrobe. Illus
trated is a most charming one that is
tucked in groups and trimmed with
bands of insertion that are applied be-
tween and which gives dressy effect,
while in reality it is so simple that
it can quite easily be made. In the
case of the model the material is white
lawn. but there are innumerable 9TH
ers which are appropriate. thin silks
and lightweight woods being made af-
ter the same manner as are the wash
able fabrics.
The waist consists of fronts and
back. There is a regulation shirt waist
pleat at the front edge beneath which
the closing is made, and the narrow
tucks are stitched in graduated lengths
at the front, from shoulders to belt at
back. The sleeves are the accepted
ones that consist of fitted cuffs and
with full portions above.
