HOW A BADGER WORKS.

Can Excavate Almost as Rapidly as
a Man With n Spade.
During the day the badger sleeps
deep in his burrow, far out on our
western plains and prairies, and at twi-
light he starts forth on nights forag-
ing. He is a dreaded enemy Of the
prairie dog and the ground squirrel,
and when he begins to excavate for one
nothing but solid rock or death can
stop him.
With the long, blunt claws of his fore
feet he loosens up the dirt. Dig, dig,
dig! He works as though his life de-
pended on 1t, now scratching out the
sides Of the hole. then turning on his
back to work overhead.
At first he throws the dirt out be-
tween his hind legs, but soon he Is too
far down for that, so he banks it up
back of him, then turns about and u.s.
ing his chest and forward parts as a
pusher shoves it out before him.
He works with such rapidity that it
would be somewhat difficult for a man
to overtake him with a spade.-St.
Nicholas.

REFLOATING A SHIP.
Ingenious Expedient Devised to Save
the Steamer Flavian.

Ingenious Expedient Devised to Save
the Steamer Flavian.
An ingenious eXpedient was devised
some years ago to refioat the steamer
Flavian, which struck on ledge near
Cape Race. She was fixed in an awk-
ward position for tugs to work at her
and half her hull was submerged.
1t was in the late fall, and proper
salvage outfits could neither be obtain
ed from abroad in time nor used advan-
tageously, so series of holes were cut
in her sides below the tween decks
and huge pitch pine logs passed
through these apertures. Meanwhile
two cofferdams sixty feet long by
twelve wide and as many deep had
been built at st. Johns and, being
carefully calked, were towed to the
scene and allowed to sink by opening
a valve, being then placed beneath the
logs which passed through the ship and
protruded on each side.
The water in them was next pumped
out, and as they rose they caught the
logs and fairly lifted the ship off the
rocks, she being lowed to st. Johns
with them upbearing her till perma-
nent repairs could be made, which in
volved patching her bottom for half
her length.-Technical World.

PROPERTIES OF GLYCERIN.
DecOmpOses if Heated Intensely and
Crystallizes If Frozen.

DecOmposes if Heated Intensely and
CrystalIizes If Frozen.
One Of the great advantages Of glyc
erin in it's chemical employment Is the
fact that it neither freezes nor evap-
crates under any ordinary temperature.
No perceptible loss by evaporation has
been detected at temperature less
than 200 degrees F., but if heated in.
tensely it decomposes with a smell
that few persons find themselves able
to endure 1t burns with pale flame,
similar to that from alcohol, if heated
to about 800 degrees and then ignited.
Its nonevaporative qualities make the
holding pigments and cOlors, as in
stamping and typewriter ribbons, car
bon papers and the like.
If the pure glycerin be exposed for a
long time to a freezing temperature it
crystallizes with the appearance Of
sugar candy, but these crystals being
once melted it is almost an imposst
bility to get them again into the con-
gealed state. If little water be add
ed to the glycerin no disqualification
will take place, though under suffi-
cient degree of cold the water will
separate and form crystals, amid which
the glycerin will remain in it's natural
state of f1uidity. If suddenly subject
ed to intense cold pure glycerin will
form a gummy mass which cannot be
entirely hardened or crystallized. AL
together it is quite a peculiar sub
stance

NapOleOn's Marksmanship.
Rulers have always been f1attered,
from Canute's time downward, it be-

said, in consoling friend who CHANGED
craftsmanship:
you need not fret about it, The en-
peror Coy which he meant his uncle, the
great Napoleon L. was even a worse
shot than you are. The only time they
put a gun in his hand he killed poor
hound and went away thinking he had
killed stag.
"In those days the stag, whenever
brought to bay, was left for the en-
peror to kill. One day, however, the
emperor was not to be found, and the
master Of the staghounds finished the
animal with his knife Just then the
emperor came in sight.
'"They hurriedly got the dead stag on
it's legs, propping it up with branches,
etc, and handed the emperor the cara
bine of honor as it was called. The
emperor fired, and of course the stag
tumbled over, but at the same time
there was a piteous whine from one Of
the hounds, which had been shot
through the head.
1.-THE emperor wheeled around, I'M
conscious of the mischief he had done
saying to one of the aids-de-camp,

Earliest Theater.

scented to appreciative spectators the
wonderful works Of Eschylus, Sopho-

LlNCOLN'S FOREFATHERS.
4 Straiu of Tragedy Runs Through
Their History.

4 Straiu of Tragedy Runs Through
Their History.
Abraham Lincoln's forefathers were
pioneers-men who left their homes to
open up the wilderness and make the
way plain for others to follow them.
For ITO years, ever since the first
American Lincoln came from England
to Massachusetts, In 1888, they had
been moving slowly westward as new
settlements were made in the forest.
They faced solitude, privation and all
the dangers and hardships that beset
men who take up their homes where
only beasts and wild men have had
homes before, but they continued to
press steadily forward, though they
lost fortune and sometimes even life
itself in their westward progress.
Back in Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey some Of the LincOlns had been men
of wealth and influence In Kentucky.
where the future president was born
on Feb. II, 1900, his parents lived in
deep poverty. Their home was a small
log cabin of the rudest kind, and moth
ing seemed more unlikely than that
their child, coming into the world In
such humble surroundings, was des-
tined to be the greatest man Of his
time. True to his race, he also was to
be pioneer, not, indeed, like his an
cestors, leader into new woods and
uneXplored fields, but pioneer of a
nobler and grander sort, directing the
thoughts of men ever toward the right
and leading the American people
through difficulties and dangers and a
mighty war to peace and freedom.
The story Of this wonderful man be-
gins and ends with tragedy, for his
grandfather, also named Abraham, was
killed by a shot from an Indians rifle
while peaceably at work with his three
sons on the edge of their frontier clear
ing. Eighty-one years later the pres-
dent himself met death by an assas-
sins bullet. The murderer of one was
a savage Of the forest; the murderer Of
the other that far more cruel thing, a
savage Of civilizatiOn.-St. Nicholas.

Killing a Robin.

There are persons at the present day
and not all old women either-who
believe that killing a robin will bring
bad luck. According to ancient belief,
the storm cloud was huge bird. The
xrabians represented his wings as
measuring 10000 fathoms. This bird
lived on worms, the latter being the
streaks of lightning accompanying
storms. The Germans remodeled the
fiction by creating the god Thor. whose
bird was the robin. Consequently to
kill a robin first meant death by light
ming, then bad luck.

Senator German.
Published by Request)

Now German is dead and the
newspapers have published the
Inventory of his estate. He went
into the senate a poor man; he
lived in a very expensive style:
he had no visible income besides
his salary: yet he died a million
aire. The schedule of his assets
reveals the fact that he was fl
nancially interested in the tobac-
co trust, the national ba hiking
trust, the railroad system, the
coal trust, the gas trust, the
West Virginia branch of the oil
trust and in a dozen other cor
porations. He also had on de
posit with the Morton Trust
company of New York City the
neat sum of S435. 900, besides
s. 800 in a Washington bank. A
life devoted to denouncing the
Republican party, while aidingi in
the establishment of trusts and
corporations, seems to have re-
suited in financial success.
What St. Peter remarked to him,
when German knocked at the
golden gate has not, as yet, been
published. The Investigator.
