the bottom at right angles Now try
it again and see that it is right.
When all this has been carefully
done, gum to the sides of the hook
thus made two leaves of Dutch
metal" This can be bought from a
sign painter. Each leaf should be
half an inch wide, and long enough to
come within an inch of the bottom of
the bottle.
Then insert the cork with the wire
and leaves into the bottle, and the in.
strument is complete.
To find out whether body is
charged with electricity, bring it near
the metal disk, without letting it
touch it. If it is electrified, the leaves
of Dutch metal will fly apart, because
the body draws to itself one kind of
electricity and repels the other kind
to the leaves. AS they both become
charged alike, they fly apart, because,
in electricity, like repels like.
But to know the kind of electricity
possessed by the body we must go a
step further. The electroscope must
be charged with a kind of electricity
that we know by touching the disk
with a body whose kind we know.
We know, for instance, that if a piece
Of wax be rubbed with a piece Of
flannel, the wax is electrified mega
lively. BY touching the disk with this
piece of wax we cause the leaves to
fly apart, and on removing the wax
they will remain apart little while,
if the instrument is properly made.
If now you bring the body to be
tested near the disk without letting it
touch it, the leaves will either fly to-
gether or more widely apart. If the
former, the body is positively electri-
fed; if the latter, it is negatively cleo.
trified.
Instead of the way just described,
you can charge the electrscope by the
body to be tested by touching the
disk with the body, and then bringing
near it body whose kind of electric
ity is known. If the body be large
it may be connected by means of a
wire, as shown in the illustration, one
end of the wire being hooked in the
hole near the edge of the disk.

DAINTY HOME EXPERIMENT.
Amusement Found in Max
ing and Using the Electroscope. "A

Electricity is so common nowadays
that we all want to know something
about it. The electroscope is an in
strument used for showing us whether
or not body is charged with cleo
tricity, and it so, whether the electric
ity be positive or negative. AS al
most all things have some electricity
in them, you can find much amuse-
ment and instruction in discovering
the kind by means of a homemade
electroscope.
A very simple, but effective one,
can be made with a glass bottle.
Clean and dry the bottle thoroughly,
and insert in the cork piece OF
glass tubing about an inch long. Get
a piece of zinc and cut out disk
about an inch and half in diameter,
in which drill two holes, one in the
center and the other near the edge.
In the center hole solder one end of a
brass or copper wire.
Now get little shellac and soften
it by warming. Pour it into the glass
tubing, and before it cools and hard
ems, run piece of wire through it so
that the disk zinc is about an inch
above the tube.
Slip the other end of the wire into
the bottle, and see how much you will
have to cut off. When the cork is in
place, the wire inside, bent at right
angle at the bottom, should reach to
about the center of the bottle. Re-
move the cork and the wire, and cut
ting the latter at the right place, bend

Why the Boy Didn't Go.

Congressman Champ Clark Of Mis-

son named Bennett, who is about IL
years of age. The boy, like many
other sons of members of the house, is
apt to be on the floor when 1t is an
nounced that his father will speak.
One day Champ Clark made a set
speech, and it was quite creditable
effort, winning for him praise from
both sides of the house. But Bennett
wasn't there that day. The next time
he showed up he was asked to explain
his absence.
"Oh, pshaw," replied the lad. 81

times when mamma was teaching it to
him at home. What did l want to
hear it again for?''
All of which goes to show that
statesmen will occasionally rehearse

Model That Has Charm.

A trim little model developed in
blscuit-colored cloth has a double
breasted cutaway pony coat, the back
having extension seams from the
shoulder to the bottom of the gar
ment. The notched collar is of golden
brown taffeta, tapping over a band of
cream-colored stock which is braided
with gold and brown. The revers
are self-faced, and the small pocket
flaps and the cuffs on the small gigot
sleeves are of the taffeta topped with
a band of the braided cloth. The
skirt with which this coat is worn
is absolutely plain except for a fold
of 'taffeta above the hem.

Embroidered Linen Collars.

The variety in linen collars increases
daily. The high rundown embroid-
cred collar is first favorite, but there
is straight standing collar, also en-
broidered, of which Parisians are fond.
This is usually worn with one of the
narrow lingerie ties hand embroidered
at the ends. Plain linen collars with
the narrow fluted borders in pink or
blue or green are among the French
novelties.-American Register.
