Perpetual Motion CrankS.

In the days Of the Mayhower the
first perpetual motion inventors took
out their patents for Engines which
being put in order will cause and main
teyne their own mociOnS with continu-
ance and without any borrowed force
of man. horse, wind, river Or brooke,
and in the last century they have APP
piled for about 600 patents which are
based chiefly on the force Of gravity,
loss OF equilibrium, specific gravity Of
floats and weights immersed in water
or other liquid, accession Of receptdc!es
inflated with air or gas under water,
compression aud subsequent expansion
Of gases and Of the surface tension o.
liquids. SO s~anguinely hopeful are
these ingenious designers that in many
cases they provide brakes to stop heir
machines if necessary or TO prevent
any dangerous increase Of speed. The
care and thought expended on the prin
ciple and detail Of many OF the inven-
lions demonstrate that many men Of
mental ability cling to the idea that
perpetual motion is possible and that
they themselves are successfully sOlv-
ing the problem.

How TO Shoot a Rather.

The writer once saw an Indian kill
4 rattleSnake in a very peculiar man
ner. The RATHER was about ten feet
from the Indian, who was resting the
rifle on his knee, apparently taking aim.
Whenever he moved the weapon a few
inches the snake would move around
and get exactly in line with it. Then,
to show how the thing was done, the
indian moved about the snake in a cir
Gle, and the reptile moved as if its tai,
were on a pivot, always keeping its
head and body in line with the gun.
The indian then agreed to bandage his
eyes and shoot the snake ia the mouth.
The writer bandaged the Indians eyes.
and, holding the gun by his side at
arms length. the latter pulled the trig
ger, and the ball entered the snakes
mouth and passed the whole length Of
it's body How DO you take aim ?" was
the query The snake, he takes aim"
was the reply. We have talked with
an old hunter on this proposition, and
he claims that a rattlesnake will al
ways range directly in line with a gun
or stick pointed at it.-Exchauge.

When Hannibal, the great Cartha-
gtnian. was lighting Eumenes Of Per
gamOs with a feet OF very inferior
strength he hit upon an artitice which
would scarcely be sanctioned by the
laws Of what we are pleased to call
civilized warfare. He discovered by
means Of a bogus message rnder a dag
Of truce on which ship tn. king was.
He then caused poisonous snakes to be
inclOsed in earthen jars. These he dis
tributei among several slips and or
dered them to close up On the kings
galley. In the melee that followed
the jars we're flung on to the deck. The
curious bombs were greeted at first
with ridicule. which sOoa cha nged to
panic when the nature Of their contents
made itself manifest. The galley was
axtriCated from the fight as 0 as
possible, and the captains of the others,
believing that the king had taken dight.

Books Written In Jail.

Jail seems to be a good place in which
to write books. Literary men surpass
themselves there. John Bunyan wrote
"Pilgrim's Progress in Jail. Cervantes
wrote "DOx Quixote' in prison. Defoe
laid the plans for Robinson Crusoe"
during a term of confinement imposed
on him for the writing of a pamphlet
called The Shortest Way With the
Dissenters.' Leigh Hunt wrote Rim
ini' in Jail. Sir Walter Raleigh dur
Ing his fourteen years Imprisonment
in the Tower OF London wrote his ex-
cellent History of the World" Silvio
Pellico and Tasso both did their best
work in jail.

Food and Digestion.

One Of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food TO anybody
Is the measure of its digestibility. Half
a pound of cheese is vastly more nour-
ishing, as regards its mere compost
ton, than half a pound of beef; but
while the beef will be easily digested,
and thus be of vast service 20 US, the
cheese is put out Of court altogether
for ordinary folks by reason of its in
dlgestibility. We should bear this rule
In mind when We hear people compar-
ing one food with another in respect of
their chemical value.

Ostriches Are Poor Sailors.

"Ostriches are terrible creatures to
have aboard ship in a storm" said q
sailor. knocked about by the waves,
they fan and break their legs. We once
carried eight superb ostriches. They
were good sailors. Their sea appetites
were fine. But two days from port =
nasty gale overlook us. And then it
was pitiful to see those oStriches. The
ships lurches and ducks knocked them
off Their pins, sent them rolling back
and forth, to and fro, wildly, help
lessly. Imagine a dozen ostriches, now
on their feet. then-h.ng-on their
backs, their long legs in the air, rolling
every which way. What you'd expect
to happen happened, OF course. Their
legs broke. You could hear above the
storm the sharp crack Of the splitting
bone. OF those eight fine ostriches
only two reached port alive"

Likes Beino Hunted.

The extraordinary intelligence and
skill displayed 10y :eynard when he-
ing hunted makes it extremely prob
able that he. III common with the
huntsmau and the hounds, feels the
keen pleasure Of the pride Of art-an
important constituent Of the spirit Of
the sport. In proof of this, an old fox,
when fresh, has often been observed TO
wait tor the hounds, apparently with
the purpose of drawing them on, and
SO giving IN opportunity for the dis
play of his skill. The fox owes his
present existence in England to his
skill in providing sport, and it is not
therefore unreasonable 10 suppose that
be has acquired the sporting instinct,
just as the pointer, the hunter and the
terrier certainly enter into the spirit of
the sport for which they have been
bred and to which. therefore. they owe
