Those which strike the -grnilnd at the bottom of the water are reflected and the times of their dis patch and return to the instrument are recorded. The velocity of the sound wave being known, it is easy to calcu- late the distance traversed. It is need less to say that the recording instru-

The greatest reticcnCc is shown by
officers Of the government in regard 10
the peace talk. Usually there is ljttle
difficulty in obtaining dcnials Of inpor

case it is significant that no denial OF

quiet way and she was willing to dis

any authoritative source connected
with the administration.
That so,lc important move has been
made for peace there is ample reason
to believe, aud the indications are that
the government g the United States
has been made a party to it in such a
way that officers do not feel justified in
disclosing any relative fact even to the

MAGNET AS PLAYTHlNG.

magnets used marked in each case,
and with a letter also showing those
in which the same number makes
more than one figure.
Try to magnetic pieces of soft
iron, like nails, for instance, and
they will magnetic instantly as soon
as the magnet touches them. You
may thus have long string of nails,
hanging one to another, If the mag
net be strong enough. Now pull the
first nail from the magnet, and all
the others will fall as they all lose
their magnetism the moment they
leave the magnet.
Heat one of the nails red hot, and
try to attract it by the magnet; it
will not be possible to do it, but as
it cools it will be gradually attracted,
until when it is cool, it will be at
tracted as strongly as ever before.
If you heat your magnet in the
same way it will also lose its power,

inturned point is deemed the best pat
tern.
Statistics have 1t that only one fish
in four struck is hooked, and of those
hooked only one in four is landed
The tarpon, thanks to the difficulty of
embedding the barb of the hook, is a
fighter that may at any time win out
from the angler, and, as the bait is
cast out, make off with a contemptu-
GUS flap of his tail. AS a matter of
fact, the hook often drops from the
mouth of the fish on the beach, re-
vealing how lightly it has been imbed-
ded and how much the skill of the
angler has aided in bringing the tar
pom to book.
The fishermen who own their own
yachts or households and are free to
seek out lonely pass obtain usually
the cream of the sport. But the tar
pom is no tuft-hunter and bites as
readily for the barelegged native as
the duck-clad millionaire. In fact.
oany of the biggest fish have been
caught by anglers out for trip on a
hired sloop.
The size and gameness of the fish
often compel long struggle, some
times of hours, and in the long run
the exhaustion of the angler accounts
for the loss of many a tarpon.

but it will not regain it's magnetism
on cooling; so you had better refrain
from the experiment unless you de-
sire 70 lose the magnet.
Now pass an inch or two Of thread
through the eye of one of your nee
dies and magnetic the needle by
rubbing 1t in the same direction sew
eral times over the same pole of
your magnet. Place the horseshoe
on the table, and, holding the thread
between your thumb and your first
finger, let the point of the needle be
directly above the pole that attracts
1t and about quarter of an inch dis
tant from II. Then make a circular
sweep with your hand, so that the
point remains in its position and the
eye is brought down toward the 9TH
er pole. If you become skilful in do
ing this, the needle will remain sus-
pended just above the magnet In a
horizontal position.
Charlevoix county herald., 1905-05-13

With a common bar or horseshoe
magnet, such as may be had at toy
store, very interesting experiments
may be made. First, test the poles
of the magnet with a common pocket
compass, and mark them north and
south. If they are already marked,
test them anyhow, as French magnets
marked n. and S. mean just the re-
verse of what they mean to us.
To test the poles, see which end Of
the magnet attracts the north end OF
the compass magnet; that end is the
south pole of your magnet, and it
should repel the south end of the
compass magnet. Mark it s., and
mark the other end N, testing it also
for your own satisfaction. 1t will, of
course, attract the south end of the
pocket compass and repel the one
like itself, the north end.

After-Dinner Trick.

Here is a little trick that any of
you can master. The next time you
have chicken for dinner, save the
wishbone and wind some strong
thread several times about the ex-
tremities of it, passing it around both
ends, insert a match between the two
passes of thread thus formed and
turn itsin a circle several times, I'M
til the thread is very tight and the
ends of the wishbone are drawn
closely together. Then suddenly let
the match go, and it will describe a
complete circle, producing the most
curious optical illusion.
The rotary motion of the match is
so quick that no eye can follow it,
and it seems as if the free end ac-
tually cleft the wishbone in passing
from one side to the other.
No matter how often the trick is
done nor how closely the audience

The Whistling Boy.

The whistling boy has been cele-
brated in sentimental poetry; it re-
NAMED for New Jersey farmer to
olench sentiment with a sound prin-
ciple.
He wanted a boy to pick his grapes
and went among his neighbors look
ing for one who whistled. He found
such a boy without difficulty, and sent
him up the ladder with the order not
to cease whistling until the last grape
was picked.
Any one who has tried to whistle
and eat grapes at the same time
knows how little of the farmers har-
vest was DETECTED into the boys stom-
ach. But the tale recalls that older
one of the boy whose father sent him
down cellar to draw a pitcher of cider,
and ordered him to whistle while he
was doing it. The whistle ceased for
a time, however, and then went on
again, When the boy reappeaSed he
was asked why he had stopped.

needles of the same size, so that their
points will all bee north poles, by
placing them, one at a time, on a ia
BILE and drawing the north pole OF the
magnet over each needle several
timeN in the same direction, segin-
ming each time at the point. Now float
the needles in water vertically by
sticking the eye of each into the
smallest piece of cork that will sup
port it, letting the upper part of the
eye just project above the cork.
Hold the north pole of your magnet
above the floating needles, and they
will arrange themselves into regular
figures, according to the number OF
needles used. Sometimes the same
number will form more than one fig
ure, and by Earring the vessel con-
tanning the water you may make one
figure change to another. In the
illustration a number of these group
ings are shown, with the number Of
