A MAGIC MIRROR.
Experiments with the Moon and
stars and Hand Glass.

Experiments with the Moon and
stars and a Hand Glass.
A pretty experiment can be made
with a hand mirror any night when
there is a full moon. Hold the mirror
so that the moons image will be seen
in it and you will be surprised to see
four moons instead Of one. One moon
will be very bright, but the other three
will be in a straight line and quite dull,
one dull image on the side OF the bright
moon and the other two on the other
side. Turn the mirror round slowly,
still holding its face to the moon, and
the reflections will seem to revolve
round a common center.
You can make the same experiment
with one of the very bright stars,
such as Sirius, Venus or Jupiter, but
with these there will be three images
instead of four, as the number seen de.
ponds on the breadth of the object
The explanation is quite simple. There
are two surfaces In q mirror, one In
front and the other where the quick.
silver is. The brightest reflection
comes from the object itself. the others
are what are known as secondary I'M
ages reflected from the front to the
back of the mirror and thence to the
eye The magic mirror never fails tc
excite good deal of wonder, and Is ar
interesting experiment as wel.-Lon
don Chronicle.

EIGHT DAY CLOCKS.
The Reason They Are Not Made 10
Run Just Week.

The Reason They Are Not Made to
Run Just Week.
The French have fashion of ex
pressing an indefinite but short period
of time by the phrase "about eight
days" Under similar conditions we
would say "about week" The
French method seems unnatural, ours
natural, for a week is a distinctly rec
ognized period. We believe there is
only one way in which we use the
eight day period. and that is In making
clocks.
Did 1t ever occur to you why we
have what is called an eight day clock
and not one made to run exactly seven
days? There is a good reason for it
A clock that is made to run eight days
is pretty sure TO be wound on a Ger
tain day of the week, for 1t would be
almost impossible for any one to re-
member to wind it on every eighth day
Therefore the interval between wind
ings is seven days. precisely as the
maker desired and expected.
The reason Is that clock runs bet
ter when IL is not allowed to run down
or even nearly so. The same plan Is
followed In making watch; 1t will run
for thirty hours. but as nearly every
man winds his watch at the same hour
every day or night. the spring is never
fully exhausted. Regularity in wind
ing is one of the best means Of keeping
timepiece in order.

THE SPONGE FISHER.
He Must Have Strength, a Quick by
and a neff Hand

He Must Have Strength, q Quick Eye
and a Deft Hand.
Lying on his chest along the boats
deck. the sponge fisher, with his water
glass-a pane set in a box fitted with
handles-looks down forty feet into the
clear depths. With one hand he grasps
and sinks a slender pole, sometimes
fifty feet in length, fitted at the end
with a double hook The sponge once
discovered. the hook Is deity inserted
Mt the rocky base, and by sudden
jerk the sponge is detached.
This curt description of what seems
the simple work of sponge fishing gives
no idea of the real skill and exertion
needed. The eye of the fisher has to be
trained by long experience to peer into
the sea and tell the commercially val
liable sponges from those that are
worthless. He must have a deft hand
to detach the sponge without tear.
Above all, while doing this with one
hand, he must manipulate with the
other the water glass, as the waves
sway it sideways and up and down.
The strain on eye and body is most In
tense, to say nothing of the cramped
position and exposure to wind and wet,
which, first and last, make every
sponge fisher victim Of acute rheuma-
tism. Yet, with all his arduous toll,
an expert sponge fisher earns not more
than f3 a month besides his keep on
the boat, which barely deserves the
name of existence.-Pearson's Weekly

Protection For swimmers.

"Cotton in the ears" said a physl-
clan, should be used by all those who
swim out beyond their depth. You
know how often good swimmers OF
that type drown. don't your Their
drowning is imputed to cramp, but
you will never find one of the drown
ed with his ears stuffed with cotton.
Whyf I'll tell you why. Because II
isn't cramp that causes these drown
lngs. II is perforation of the ear
drum, followed by Inconsistencies
due to the pressure of the water
Cramp isn't, after all, the deadly thing
1t is made out to be. If you get a
cramp in your leg while swimming II
Is easy enough to roll over on your
back and fioat The cramp won't kill
you. But perforation of the ear
drum is different. 1t takes away
your senses. and down you go like q
log. So always. II you are going &c
do much swimming, stuff cotton In
your ears New York Press.

Two curlously inscribed stones by
the wayside have been noted by cor
respondents Of the Manchester Guard
ian. One is about mile from the VII
lage of Hope, in Flintshire, and reads:
Here my God did spare my life. For
the tenement was the strife-1777."
One would think that the incident the
stone commentaries must be well
known in the neighborhood, but the cor
respondent was not successful in find
ing any one who could tell the story
The other stone is by the side of q
lonely road in the neighborhood OF
Jenkin chapel, and bears the following
inscription: Here John Turner was
cast away in a heavy snowstorm in the
night on or about the year 1875. The
print of a woman's shoe was found by
his side in the snow were (sic) he lay

English herring fishermen are, many
of them, remarkably superstitious. For
instance, on some fishing boats whls-
ting Is forbidden, and neither milk
nor burned bread is allowed on board.
Furthermore, not even the name of
that unlucky animal. the hare. may be
mentioned, and common method Of
Furnishing an enemy is to throw a dead
hare into his boat. Some of the fisher
men believe In luck attending an odd

to hear her, and his landlord decamped
