A Gold and Steel Engine.

A matchmaker of Ontario has made
remarkable working model of an engine.
1t weighs only four grains. and is made
of gold and steel. 1t would take l2o OF
these almost microscopic engines to weigh
an ounce, while 1920 would be required
to weigh a pound. and 3.S40O0 to weigh
a ton. The speed and horsepower of this
little model have been estimated by Prof.
Chant of the University of Toronto 1t

we always carried a luncheon on the
expeditions, and it was not the least
interesting part of the occasion. Girls
who fell below certain percentage in
their studies were not permitted to take
up botany in their work. The oppor-
tunity Of studying nature was thus made
very honorable and precious, and we
held it as something worth striving for.
The study of astronomy captivates
those who have scientific turn of
mind. To learn the names of the con-
stellatlons and to recognize some of
the planets when they appear above the
horizon is not beyond any ordinary
mind, but the study of astronomy is, on
the whole. too abstruse to be attractive
to very young girls. Definitions and
formulas you may learn, but to grasp
the principles of astronomy you require
maturity and insight; for these you
must wait. But you need not wait to

Thomas Guilfoy, of Melbourne, Aus
tralia, had only one fault-he was just
the least bit in the world too weak.
don't mean weakness in either moral
or a physical sense, but in the little
insignificant trifies which go such d
long way towards building up mans
character. And he fell in love-as men
of his kind always do-with a girl as
ambitiously strong as he was weak.
She was a splendid creature in every
way-better fitted, his friends said, To
adorn an embassy than to rule the
middle class home of young Tom Gail
foy. But Guilfoy's father was in &C.
Stasies.
That's the proper sort Of girl for
my boy Tom" he would say. You
mark my word she'll make man OF
him yeti"
His allowance to the young couple
was on a par with his enthusiasm.
During the engagement and for three
golden months after the wedding day
Tom Guilfoy Dragged of what he was
going TO do in the future. He was
going to show his friends, he said, that
he was made of the right stuff. His
wife said nothing; she looked after his
buttons, sung his praises and formed
her own plans for his reformation.
Before Christmas he had quarrelled
hopelessly with his father over some
trivial question. The governor" mad
his own pet theories and his son should
have had sense to Eumor them; bu, he
failed in this as in everything else.
consequently he suddenly found him
self cut off. l can tell you he was
more than surprised.
Then Mrs Guilfoy rose up and took
matters into her own hands. She
didn't rant, she didn't rave, she sim
ply talked quietly but firmly to he-
husband. She saw that his self -es-
teen had received a shock, but she
knew her man too we'll to imagine
that he would remain very long de-
pressed.

applied for admittance to the Victorian
bar, and in due course he secured Gle

ter Castle. According to the mar
velouS legend, mysterious crypt
exists, crammed full of untold gold.
To find it you must seek with
Hand of Glory-rather a difficult thing
to obtain in these days. To prepare
this magic article you cut off the dried,
guilty hand of a hanged and gibbeted
murderer, wrap it in winding sheet,
count seven, name the seven planets
and after number of exceedingly
nasty rites take some of the MUIR
derer's fat, and some of his hair. and
twist the mixture on the fingers of the
hand, making them. in fact, into so
many candles. Lighting them, the ap-
proved method, according to the "In
goldsby Legends" is TO chant:
Now open, lock.
To the Dead Mans knock!
Thy bolt, and lar, and bandit
Nor move. nor Swerve,
Joint, muscle, or nerve.
At the spell of the Dead Mans hand!
Sleep all who sleep. wake all who wakei
But be as the Dead for the Dead Mans
Sakei
Legend tells that one intrepid seeker
did, at that vague period known as
"once upon a time" fulfill all these
varied processes and came at last to
the mystic portal, dousing his magical
glim as he progressed He had ex-
tinguished all but the thumb. when he
uttered an exclamation. perhaps he
burned himself!) Instantly his unholy
candelabra burst into fame once more
and he was dashed senseless to the
ground. He was never again able to
find the crypt or the door.

Johnny Knew His Business.

An examiner on going into class
in public school asked a little lad
which he would prefer, half of an
orange or quarter of one. The boy
without hesitation answered that he
would take the quarter. and with some
uncomplimentary remarks he was told
to sit down.
After school hours some of the little
boys companions went to the teacher
and asked her why Johnny was count
ed wrong. The teacher replied sharp
ly:
Don't you boys know one-half Is
more than one-quarter?"
Teacher" said the spokesman of
the group. Johnny doesn't Like
