THE RAINBOW.
Ideas in Regard to the Heavenly
Arch Which Are Held in Diff
ferent Countries.

In many countries the rainbow Is
spoken of as being great bent pump or
siphon tube, drawing water from the
earth by mechanical means. In parts
of Russia, in the Don country, and also
In Moscow and vicinity, it is known by
a name which is equivalent to ''the bent
water pipe" In nearly all Slavonic
dialects it is known by terms signifying
the cloud siphon," and in Hungary it is
"the pump" "Noah's pump" and Gods
pump"
The Malayan natives call it by the
same name that they do their banded
water cobra, only that they add "boba"
(meaning double-headed), the equiva-
lent in our language being 1.-The double
headed water snake" They tell you
that the bow is a real thing of life, that
it drinks with its two mouths, and that
the water is transferred to the clouds
through an opening in the upper side Of
the center Of the great arch.
In the province Of Charkov, Russia,
the rainbow is said to drain the wells,
and to prevent this many are provided
with heavy, tight-ftting stone plat
forms.
In the province Of Saratov the bow
Is said to be under the control of
three angels, one OF whom pumps the
water, the second feeds" the clouds
and the third sends the rain. Many
improbable and impossible things
would happen if you could only get
In reach of 1.-THE bow"
The little Turk is told that II he
would have a silver head, with gold
teeth and ruby eyes, he has but to
touch tho orange stripe.
In Greece they say that the person

end Of the bow will have his or her sex

The Pope's Unhandv Train.

mOcracy. Visitors are received with
great simplicity. AS soon as one en-
ters he causes him to be seated in an
armchair by his side, chats. laughs
and relates anecdotes and stories. The
other day the pope, while receiving
some women, remarked that they had
trains to their skirts. "This is not
hygienic," said he, "one gathers thus
in the streets q quantity OF microbes
and other things. As to myself, when
they compel me to add train to
my cassock it bothers me much, al
though there are four prelates to up
hold it." "But, Holy Father" said one
of the women. I'VE hold up our trains

neat wheel. Be careful to make the
four wheels OF equal thickness.
The four blocks should be each a
trife thicker than the wheels, as
broad as the side strips are and
about one inch long. Make two holes
in each strip two and a half inches
from the ends and the size Of the
Exles.
Now you are ready to join the parts.
Take two side strips. one large and
enc small spool, place the axles in the
holes, put block in position at each
end and fasten it firmly by means OF
glue or screws or nails. A screw hook
in each end completes one part.
Make the other part in exactly the
same way and put in the cord az
shown in the drawing.
To use the pulley, fasten one block
to the ceiling or some other high place.
Attach the lower block to the object
you wish to raise. L. will seem sur
prisingly how heavy a weight can be
lifted with but little strength.
Afterward, suggests the Washington
Star, q pulley with six or even eight
wheels may be made, and their work

A COMPOUND PULLEY.
Apparatus Which Any Boy Can Con-

Will Give Him Much Fun.

Three cents for a half dozen screw
hooks is all the money you need for a
compound pulley, and any boy or girl
can make one. Two large spools, two
small spools, four strips of wood sevea
inches long, one inch or a little lesa
wide and half an inch thick; four
small blocks of wood and heavy cord
are the necessary materials.
Cut or saw each spool quite near
the shoulder, as shown by the dotted

OF each spool, letting the ends project

A week later my uncle had a very
interesting story to relate.
The grafter's strong talk was that
the sub-agent, appointed by him, took
no responsibility whatever. He, as
general agent, had invested his own
money in the forks and would leave
them with the agent on sale. When
the farmer had sold u forks at SIS
each, he was to retain one-half the
amount as his commission, which

The stars down there have a way of seem. ing to hang out of the sky, like a jewel placed high in the setting. The moon was full and the magic of her yellow beauty bewitched everything, enhancing the very shadows. There is an abandon about that spot that takes away the stiffness so often found in large, formal grounds, and, as you walk on and on, there seems to be no end to it, but 1t is as though all the world was a sumptuous gar. den; and when you lift your eyes to the matchless night blues, N seems as if the very dome of Heavs en had opened to charu yess siE;0A
