 After boring hole the mark or ring. made by the end of the gauge around the hole on the surface of the piece being bored will always show whether or not the hole has been bored perpendicular to the surface.

Girls in College.

The statement is made that 1t costs three times as much to send a girl through college TOW as 1t did 20 years ago, and that charges for tuition have been advanced by all the women's col leges. This writer, according to the Eighteen or 20 years ago the at tendance at women's colleges was made up largely of women possessed of an abnormal desire for learning or of those compelled to earn their living by teaching. In either case they were usually girls of small means and glad to exchange In part payment for their tuition certain amount of domestic labor done in the college halls. With the coming of the girl of wealth. desir ous of having her intellectual pursuits untainted by the odors of the kitchen the domestic duties have been dropped one by one. The fact remains, however that the girl who wants to get an educa- tion has a better chance to-day than did hSA uiONANi At NblttSeS loI ANIiei are better equipped for their work and have broadened their sphere The girls who care more for dress than study ar not so numerous as some persons be lieye.

POSSESSION OF THE POLE.
Uncertainty of the Location of the Extremities of the Terres-
 trial Axis.

AXaricious folk are occasionally ac- cused of a desire to acquire the earth, while some others would eheerfully give all the remainder of the globe for the possession of that intangible thing an extremity of its imaginary axis-the northern one preferred. ltis so common 10 speak of this as ''the pole, says the Philadelphia Ledger, that we practically ignore the southern extremity, anu sometimes forget that every whlrllns celestial body must perforce have two poles. It is similarly so with reference to the celestian poles, which are simply the points in space toward which the terrestrial poles are directed and which of course, bear not the slightest physical relation to our globe. These sky-points are perpetually shifting at a very slow but uniform rate, because the sun anu the moon disturb the balance of the earth by their attraction of the Slgn' equatorial bulge of the latter. This per turbation corrects itself in a regular period of nearly 26,000 years.
 In this. however. there is no deranse- ment of terrestrial attitudes which re main relatively the same; but witnins score of years a somewhat grave com plieation has come to light. kus'ner' al Berlin. proved i'll 1888 that lallluae' vary by very slight amount. and oO seryations made at various other pa's aF h., Ia rOn- firmed the fact.

is that the hole has been bored slanting, and the position in which the bit is held must be corrected before boring another.
 To enable the beginner to bore cor rectly and at right angles to the surface considerable practice will be necessary. This practice may be acquired by placing a piece of waste board in the bench wise and boring one hole after another changing the position of the brace and bit until the marking of the depth gauge on the surface indicates that the brace is held correctly. Then change the position of the piece md practice boring dOwel holes into the end of the board until sat isfactory results are obtained To use brace and bit correctly. especially when boring for dowels. will require the same careful and painstaking practice as for the back saw, the plane or any other tool.

 Dowels should always be used for con meeting the legs of small tables to the rails. especial y when the legs are so slender that they would be seriously weakened by having rail mortses cut into the upper end on two sides of the leg.

The Kaiser's recent journey from
Hanover to Hamburg, a distance Of
about 12O miles, was accomplished in
about three and a half hours.
Owing to the rain, the Emperor had
intended to travel in the royal train,
but the weather becoming fine he ex-
pressed his intention of making the
journey by motor car in order to enjoy
the beauties Of the Luneburger Heath,
across which he would have to pass.
In the forest the royal train, which
had left Hanover shortly after the
Kaiser. came in sight.
His majesty Immediately gave or
ders to his chauffeur TO quicken speed,
and the motor, d Mercedes car, dashed
forward at the rate of about sixty
miles an hour.
His majesty enjoyed the sensation
immensely, and was anxious to race
the royal train. He had long express
ed a desire TO see such a race. and mad
maintained that on a straight road the
automobile would win. The race vas
entered upon with great zest, but ow-

be abandoned.
