A swinging sign of ancient make,
And one above the door,

UNCLE JACKS
SATURDAY. TALK

My Dear Boys and Girls:
Did you ever ask yourself the question
which was heavier. a $50 gold coin or
twenty 81 bills? This question was asked
Of a high official in the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington a few weeks ago. and
he could not answer 1t. but hazarded a
guess, Which, however. was found to be
far from the true state of affairs when a
scales of perfect accuracy had been
brought into requlsition. 1t was then dis
covered that twenty-seven 81 notes weigh
ed exactly as much as a $50 gold piece.
The latter just balances $40 grains. How
ever, the bills weighed were crisp and new.
Trial made with soiled notes, such as come
I'm every day for redemption, showed that
twenty-seven of them weighed consider
ably more than the $40 coin. Every paper
dollar, on It's way through the world, con-
~tinually accumulates dirt, perspiration and
grease, so that after a year OF use IL Is
perceptibly heavier. Ask this question
some day of your school friends and see
how many of them can give the correct
answer. Yours truly,
UNCLE JACK.

They started, after {. good meal of honey

distance, He went much higher than the
wasp had even been, and then went off In

began TO feel very anxious for a rest, but
mis- pride forbade it. At last, Just as he

again. As the trees rose to meet them and

and daisies, appeared again the Wasp

BUILDING
I'm THE MORLD

The biggest building the world is ever
likely to see is the Great Pyramid of
Cheops. near Cairo. This took 100,0 900 men
thirty year, to build. 1t is 451 feet high,
and cover thirteen acres of ground.
Every brick of it is a block of stone,
three feet in height.
Against this, the smallest inhabited
human dwelling ON earth Is a r~eed-cutter's
hut in the Fens, near Cambridge, Eng
land. 1t is Of wood, four feet square, with
n zee IN the floor. How the old occupant
manages to curl himself up upon it is a
marvel. But he seems quite happy there,
and gladly pays q shilling a year rent.
