What is rater, a sailabout, a lark,
is a question commonly heard among
those not familiar with yachts and
technical racing terms. A rater is
thirty-eight feet long and carries the
double sails-sloop rig and jib. The
half rater is thirtytwo feet long, car
ries the same style sails as the rater
and usually gets a five minute handi-
cap in rater races. The sailabout car
ries single large sail and is built on
graceful lines, with rounded sides and
ends, while the lark has square sides
and ends and carries the single sail.
Few larks are built now. Most of the
yachts recently built have the double
centerboard. The centerboard pre-
vents drifting sidewise, and the single
board is often entirely out of water
during heavy winds; hence the use Of
the double board.

Has the Wasp Affection

A colony Of wasps made a nest in the
dark room Of studio last summer At
first the party who used the room did
not relish their company, but for GER
tain reasons he did not modest them.
He paid no attention to the little buz-
zers, and they came and went at their
own sweet will After time he began
to study them and soon came to the
conclusion that they were gradually
becoming acquainted with him, his
ways and his dark room. One day a
stranger was seated on the window sill.
The first wasp entering the room paid
no attention to him, but made for the
old crack in the wall. Then out came
q big fat fellow who darted through
the open window like bullet. Within
five minutes half a dozen wasps came
with a rush at the stranger and two
of them located him. But the writer
has never been touched by his wasp

"Oriented" OrientaIs.

knowledge Of direction seems to be
instructive with the Burmans, says the
author of ga People at School," They
always reckon by the needle, not by
relative position. They do not say
Turn to the right but Turn to the
west" If table in a room has two
tumblers on it, one of them will be the
east tumbler, the other the west, and
the table itself will be not the "table
near the window" but the table in the
east Of the ROOM" So they speak of
the north or south side Of street Or
Of a tree, not the shady Or sunny side.
Even in. rain Or mist they know the
direction at once. An English traveller,
walking in the Burman forest on
foggy morning to find all trace Of the,
road wiped out by rain and every ap-
parent means of ascertaining direc
ton gone, was at a loss what to do,
but his Burman servants knew at
once. 'That is morrill," they said, point
ing, "and that is east. Our course lies
between" and straight to the north
east they marched unerringly.

The hydraci yeti is native of South
Africa, and, taken all around, he is a
curiosity in the reptile line. Unlike the
regulation snake, he has no teeth in his
mouth, but has full set of grinders
in his stomach. These dental wonders
grow from the center of each vertebra.
They pass through the walls of the
stomach, and are each crowned with
enamel. Hydraci is the champion egg
sucker, and the teeth in the stomach
appear to be natures provision for
breaking the shell of the egg without
running the risk Of losing the precious
contents. When the egg lands in the
stomach and the serpent's instinct tells
it that everything is all right, the adj
dominal walls contract, and the egg is
crushed against the long row of verte
bral teeth.

Famous King Og.

Og. the famous king Of Bashan, men
toned in Deuteronomy, had a bedstead
nine cubits long, or about sixteen and
a half feet. It is doubtful whether
Og himself was of the full length Of
his bedstead Many bones Of reputed
giants have been found in different
countries of the world, and uniformed
people hastily concluded that the men
to whom these bones were supposed
to have belonged must have been from
fifteen to thirty feet in height. All
such remains have been proved to be
those of the gigantic animals existing
in a former era of the worlds history.

Anatomy OF IN Oyster.

To discover the heat of an oyster
the Fold of flesh which oystermen call
the mantle must be removed. This
is fatal to the oyster, OF course. but in
the interest of science and for the ben
eft of the curious it is occasionally
done. When the mantle has been re-
moved the heart. shaped like il cres-
cent or horned moon. is laid to the
view. The oysters heart is made up
of two parts, just like that of Il hu-
man being. one of which receives the
blood from the gills, and the other
drives it out through the arteries. The
liver is found in the immediate vicin-
ity Of the heart and stomach and is a
queer shaped little organ. which is
supposed to perform all the functions
of a blood filter. Every oyster has q
mouth, a heart, a liver. a stomach and
other necessary internal organs in
Guiding a set of cunningly devised in

end Of the oysters body, near the
hinge of the shell. 1t is oval in shape,
and, though not readily discovered by
an Impractical eye, it may be easily
located by gently pushing a blunt bod
kin or similar instrument along the
folds of the surface Of the body at the
place mentioned. Connected with the
mouth is the canal which the oyster
uses in conveying food to the stomach,
from whence it passes into the curious
tines referred to.-Santa Fe New Mex

GAINESVILLE

William Gum, resident of Rock
county since 1865 and one OF the richest
and most prominent of Rock county
farmers, died at 100 Tuesday, passing
away almost without warning. Mr. Gum
died in the arms of his son, Biddle Gunn
two and one-half miles from his home
and in patch of woods that they went
out to inspect. Heart disease was the
cause of his death. Mr. Gum was born
in England in 1884 and in 1851 landed in
America. During the spring of 1866 he
took up his residence in Rock county
aud has ever since made his home in the
town of Rock.
Upon the invitation of his wife, doz-
en- friends of Thomas e Welsh assem-
bled at the home, 1852 South Jackson
street, Thursday evening to surprise
him, the occasion being his birthday an
niyersary. The plans were so we'll laid
that the host was taken completely un-
awares when he entered the house to re-
ceiye their cordial greetings. At six
o'clock a sumptuous course dinner was
served under the direction of Mrs Louise
Bowerman at long, beautifully decor
ated table, and after the chairs had been
pushed back and the cigars had been
passed, John Soulman, in very grace
full address, presented the recently
elected chancellor commander Of Orient

On the smouldering floor of his home
at 504 Western avenue the partially
charred body of John Boylan, an aged
resident of GAINESVILLE, was found shortly
after o'clock Friday morning by his
guardian, John w McCue of 207 Lincoln
street. The condition of the room told
clearly the story OF his end. The remains
lay face downward, in one hand was
gripped the corner of the cover that had
been pulled from the table, and the
broken parts of kerosene lamp lay
nearby. In all probability Mr. Boylan
died Of heart trouble, having been suf-
ferer with that complaint for year or
more. 1t is supposed that when he en-
deavored to get up from rocking chair
that he fell forward. In so doing he
grasped for the table, but caught only
the cloth which covered it. When this
was pulled off the lamp was thrown to
the floor and the ignited derosene set fire
to the floor. No flames broke out. the
house being tightly closed. Had win
dow or door been open the remains
would probably have been consumed in
the fire that would have resulted. AS it
was only the lower part of the body and
the upper part of the legs were burned
The face was not mutilated.

Never before was there so much
study of poetry and the drama. This
is due to the modern extension Of edu-

not the fashion of an hour; it is an
eternal need of the soul-a need that
increases with the increase Of intel
lectual light-Edward Markham in
