A FEAT OF STRENGTH.
How to Break q Stone With n Blow
OF Your Fist.


How TO Break a Stone With n Blow
of Your Fist.
II any one told you it was possible to
break stone with blow Of your fist,
you would laugh at him. But there is
q way by which you can accomplish
this feat entirely by your own strength
and without injury to your fist.
First select your stone, or, rather,
two stones, each of which should be
about twelve inches long, but one
should be only a slab one-half inch
thick, while the other is three or four
inches thick. Lay the thin stone fat,
firmly and immovably on the ground,
and on it place one end of the other
stene, raising the opposite end to an
angle Of forty-ave degrees. The raised
end OF the second stone must be over
the center Of the stone on the ground
and must be kept in position by a
piece Of twig or stick the necessary
length.
You are now ready to demonstrate
your tremendous strength. Strike the
elevated stone a smart blow at abou.
the center, with the little finger side Of
the hand. The prop. Of course, will
give way, and the bottom stone will be
broken to pieces as the elevated stone
falls upon it from fits angular position.
Thus you have broken the stone into
pleces by one blow Of your bare fist, -
the astonishment Of any one who may
have doubted your ability to do so.

1t is quite natural for the human
mind, which associates all thoughts
and makes all comparisons by earth
ly standards, to think of the inhab-
itants of some of the monster worlds
which are known to be whirling
through space as being giants of the
most gigantic kinds. Take the star
Arcturus as an illustration. That
gigantic planet is 100000 miles in
circumference, or about $4,000
miles straight through from pole to
pole, or from equator to equator.
Our little world is only 5000 miles
in diameter, OF $4,000 in cErcumfer-
ence. In fact, it is such a mere
pygmy compared with Arcturus that
it might fall into one of that plan
cts great lakes, whether they be
water or burning seas of gas, and
bury itself out of sight. We are apt
to think of these planets as being
inhabited, however much the chances
may be against such an assumption,
and to compare such supposed per
sons to the size of the world upon
which they live. If Arcturus is in
labited and its people are built on
the same ratio that we are an aver
age Arcturian cannot fall much
short Of. being twelve miles In
height.

a story About the Rainbow.

The Indians have a lovely thought
about the rainbow They love flow
ers even as we do. The roses, lilies,
pansies and goldenrod they hate to
see leave. When they see a rainbow
they fancy that in the lovely colors
spanning the sky all the wild flow
ers, lilies, yiolets, etc, and the moss
of the woods are still living and
poisoning anew in the heavens.

into the cork in an upright position
also. You are now ready Tor your ex-
pertinent. as shown ir Fig. 2. Light a
candle and, holding the cork on the
side away from the needles, thrust the
middle OF the horizontal needle into the
fame. Tie heat will make the needle
expand, throwing the needle that Is
stuck through its eye out Of its per-
pendicular position. AS you remove 1t
from the flame and the needle cools It
will contract, and the second needle
will return to its original position.
The third needle is there merely as a
test, to show you how they move apart
and together with the expansion and
contraction, as shown by the two fg.
ures.

Birds without wings are found In
New Zealand and Australia. Kiwi is
the name Of one species. Beautiful
mats are made of the feathers of
the white variety, but it takes ten
years or more to collect enough

the residence of the superintendent and q
dress parade in the evening at which the
colors for general excellence during the
year were presented to the first company.
commanded by Midshipman Ralph T. Han
SON Of Perrysburg, Ohio.
The award of the colors is determined by
q unique system in which not only such
points as infantry and artillery drill, sea-
manship and great and small gun practice
have weight, but also proficiency in differ
ent branches Of athletics.
The only exercise Of this morning was the
infantry drill, which began At o'clock
The brigade of midshipmen is nearly 1000
strong, and presents almost the appearance
of full infantry regiment. The midship-
men were attired In their natty white cam
vas uniforms, and headed by the Naval
Academy Band, in their brilliant full dress.
Most of the members of the class of 1881
left for their homes this morning. The
class has had q reunion extending over
three days, the first two of which were
spent in Washington, and yesterday In An
napolis. They took part I'm the ceremonies
of the presentation OF the portrait Of John
Paul Jones yesterday morning, and at
tended the business meeting and banquet
OF the academy alumni in the afternoon.
This class is unique. owing to the large
number of members in civil life. Only
twenty-one of its over ninety members were
allowed to enter the services as there were
only that many vacancies. but they have
been most loyal to the institution and the
reunion has been an occasion of great joy.
A distinguished member of the class is Vice
Admiral Sotokiehi Uriu. the distinguished
Japanese naval fighter. Admiral Uriu sent
a letter of regret.

FOR CLEAN MONEY.
Address by Treasurer Treat Before
Bankers at Atlanta.

Charles H. Treat, treasurer of the United
States, addressed the Joint convention of
the Florida and Georgia Bankers Associa-
ton at Atlanta. Ca. yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Treat considered the relations Of the
national treasury to the banks and bankers
of the country. The subject was discussed
under the general heads of the need of small
denominations of money, recommendations
for the issue of small denominations of gold
certificates, the necessity for an increased
supply of clean currency and the uses and
abuses of fhe subtreasury.
The national banks of the country being
prohibited in 1878 from issuing bills of the
denominations of ones and twos, Mr.. Treat
said, has added to the increasing embar-
rassment each year in the handling of
crops. The law was amended in 1900, re-
stricting these banks from issuing bills of
fiye-dollar denominations to one-third of
their circulation. This added to the en-
barraSsment. Against nearly four hundred
and eighty-two millions of silver dollars in
the federal treasury which enter into cir
oulation either actually or through the me-
dunn OF certificates. the unpledged silver
amounts to only about seven millions. The
growth of business in this country he said.
demands increasingly larger amounts of
circulation per capita, which Is now 49,. As
against S22.s7 in 1897 To meet this demand
the treasurer recommended the issue Of gold
certificates in denominations Of five and ten
dollars. instead of limiting this Issue to de-
nominations of twenty dollars and upward
That such issue of fve-dollar certificates to
the extent OF twenty-five to fifty millions be
used to retire the fve-dollar silver certifi-
Gates. leaving that amount free to be issued
IN denominations of ones and twos against
the treasury silver thus released. To sup
plement the demand for five-dollar bills
the speaker expressed the hope that the ef-
forts of the government will be aided by the
banks in issuing their full complement al
lowed by law. which heretofore has been
awaited of to the extent of only 1873 per
cent.
The matter of supply of clean currency,
the speaker said. is one of supreme Inn
portance. not only from the point of con-
venience. but also from a sanitary view
point.
The daily demand from banks for small
bills averages $780, coo. while since January
last the department has been able to furnish
only from 100000 to 100000.
