HUMANITY AND MACHINERY.

Machinery is the cornerstone of modern society, the very foundation on which law, science, ethics, the arts, even the state itself, rests. It is so new that we do not yet know it's poetry. We do not yet understand Only two generations have lived be- side the highway of steam; only one has seen the Bessemer converter transform the blacksmith into a master builder of ships and towers. The sewing machine, the far speaker, the typewriter are common things of to-day, accepted as a matter of daily convenience, and yet are they teach CTS of the people. Machines that come close to our lives and homes, says the Reader Magazine, insensibly teach truth, precision, the adjustment of universal laws to human needs, re- spect for that wise American idea that labor saved is labor released for higher and nobler toll. The machine is the head master of the high school of the race.

America Generous to Science,

Prof. Ray Lankester, in his opening address before the British association, pointed out what has been many times remarked, that in no country is so much aid given by laymen to sci entific investigation as in America. The habit of giving telescopes, labor atories and research funds has be- come common among rich men, and we rather take their gifts for granted. It has been humorously said that the will of a Massachusetts man which does not provide gift for a hospital, an art museum, a university or an in- stitute for the investigation of human pedigrees is in poor form, and reflects on the social standing of the testator's family.

strument. Make the box of thin dry pine, the top piece or sounding board of extra clear stuff, about three-six- teenths of an inch thick. Sides and bottom can be one-quarter of an inch; length two inches shorter than the width of your window; width ten inches; depth two and one-half inches The ends should be of hard wood, and thick enough at one end to hold the eyes or studs for fastening the wires or eatgut strings At the other end the wood should be thick enough to hold a set of violin keys, if you use catgut; or iron piano pins, if you use wire, which should be steel. Two bridges of hard wood are glued diagonally across each end, for the strings to rest on. If steel wire is used, a round wire should be inserted on each bridge, so that the sound ing wires will not cut the wood. The tuning should be harmonic, or, say, thirds, fifths, and octaves. Make about four holes in the sound board, one inch in diameter under the strings.

A NEW BOX KITE.
How to Construct It and Fly It Sue
 cessfuIIy.

One of the very best fun-makers a boy can have for the September days is box kite, and the chap who owns one will always be popular among his playmates and never lack for com pany when he goes out to fly it.
 Get an old umbrella, four seasoned hickory sticks, or sticks of some other tough wood three rect long and half inch thick. Rip the cover off the um- brella, being careful not to tear the material. Take eight of the ribs, the short ones that run from the frame to the stick, and lash their ends to- gether with copper wire, making two squares. Now take four of the long ribs and break them each in half, thus getting eight more pieces the size of those you have just fixed. Lash these eight new ones together in the same way, making two squares each of four wires.
 Now lash one of your hickory sticks by one end to the corner of one of your two first wire squires and fasten the other end of the stick to a corner of it's mate. Place the other three sticks in position in the other corners of the two squares and fasten them firmly by flashing them to the cor ner of it's mate. Place the other three sticks in position in the other corners of the two squares and fasten them firmly by flashing them to the corner and sides of the square with fine cop per wire.
 Now for your second set of squares made from the more pliable ribs of the umbrella: These slip outside of the framework you have made and are placed one foot from either end so that there will also be a foot be- tween them, providing you have made your sticks three feet long. When these are firmly wired in place you are ready for your kite covering, which is the covering you have ripped from the old umbrella. This is placed around either end, as shown in the illustration, and firmly sewn in place along all four edges of each square. Be sure and use heavy linen thread in doing this, and it is all the better if your thread be waxed. Your kite is ready to fly as soon as you fasten a tail" on it.
 Now make free" kite of it, which means a kite which will sail away without a string, explains the Peoples Home Journal. Get four more long umbrella wires and fasten them to the inner sides of your wire squares on the framework as shown in the pie ture. These wires must have their free ends brought together and lashed

A large glass bottle, or jar, with a rubber stopper having hole in it, is the simple foundation for your foun- tain. You will need besides, a glass tube with jet at one end, and piece or rubber tubing about two inches long.
 When you have prepared your ma terials, place the stopper in the jar, and insert in the hole the glass tube, with the jet inside the jar To the end of the glass tube that is outside fit the rubber tubing.
 Now exhaust your lungs and, plac- ing the other end of the rubber tub ing in your mouth, suck out the air rom the jar. When you have taken deep breath, pinch the rubber tube

The cut shows a plan for uniting library shelves and a table top in one article of furniture. A simple, square, box-like structure is made for the foundation, with shelves about the four sides. The top, which may be either a perfect circle, or an oval, is fastened directly to the shelves.
 The top is composed of two layers of thin boards, one being laid at right angles to the other, and firmly fas- tened together by screws passing up through the lower layer into the up- per, but not long enough to go through the latter. If desired, the edges of the lower layer can be bev-

so that no air will return to the jar, and again exhaust your lungs and re- peat the process of drawing the air from the jar.
 Now. still pinching the rubber tube, or applying a pinchcock, turn the jar upside down and place the end of the rubber tube in glass of water When you release the tube the water will spurt up through the jet and your fountain will play in the jar. It is the outside pressure on the water in tie glass that forces the spray into the vacuum of the bottle
 Instead of exhausting the air from the jar, here is way to produce the fountain outside of it. says Peoples Home Journal Reverse the glass tube so that the jet will be outside and the other end near the bottom of the jar. Pour water into the jar until it is about two-thirds higher than the end of the tube in the jar. Fit the rubber tubing over the jet and blow into the jar, thus condensing the air. Pinch the tube while you again fill the lungs and blow again into the jar Now quickly pull the tubing from the jet, and the water will spurt out, producing a fountain. This time it is the pressure of the condensed air in- side the jar that forces the water out.
 In the same jar place vaseline bot tie with piece of thin rubber cloth stretched over the mouth, and tied in place Now, instead of the long glass tube, use a smaller one, and if you will exhaust the air from the jar as you did in the first fountain expert ment the rubber will rise like bal loon, because the air in the small bot tie will try to get out to fill the vacuum you have produced.
 Now, if you will blow into the rub Der tube, as you did in the other foun- tain experiment, the rubber will bulge downward into the small bottle, con- densing the air there. By fitting the vaseline bottle as you did the outer one, with a glass jet, and placing wa ter in it, and then exhausting the air from the outer jar, you will produce a miniature fountain in the jar from the smaller bottle.

A Dane named Knudsen is credited with discovering means of producing liquid air at the cost of no more than one-sixth the usual price, and 1t is claimed that his process, which is me chanical rather than chemical, will ultimately put liquid air on the mar ket at not more than about two cents gallon. The same invention makes it possible to sell oxygen at cent a cubic foot. which promises to bring it into rather wide industrial use.

In this ring you may hang lead weight, which must be varied according to the force of the wind blowing This weight acts just exactly like the drag of kite string and will keep your kite steady and upright if you are careful to adjust the weight to the force of the wind. Your kite will not rise in the air, but will sail straight off before the wind for a long distance.
