The first tangential water wheels
made were those introduced in early
days in California and were known as
"hurdy-gurdy" wheels. They were
rude in construction, without the
scientific lines that characterize
those of the present day, but the old
hurdy-gurdy wheels were, neverthe-
less, the most efficient means of ap-
plying water power that had been

The Seri Indians are a tribe of
harmless aboriginees that inhabit
Tiburon island in the Gulf of Cali
fornia. They have been accused of
being most murderous, cannibals, ard
addicted to other revolving habits,
but responible travellers who have
been among the Seri, say they are no
worse than California Digger Indians.

An experiment made several years
ago by the management of the De
Beers in South Africa demonstrated
that a cubic meter would contain
about l, 167 900 carats of diamonds of
various shapes and sizes, and that the
lot would be worth about SIS, 200, 600.
Diamonds have advanced about 40
per cent. in value since that time, so
a cubic meter of diamonds may now
be appraised at S105, 100000.

heavy paper that is free from creases
on board or table. Secure three tum-
blers that are alike and stick a piece
of the same heavy paper over the
openings in two of them, neatly
trimming it all around the edges so as
to leave nothing of the paper for any
one to see. Make three covers of
paper as shown in Fig. 1 to put over
the tumblers. Place three coins on
the sheet of paper, then the tumblers
with covers on top of the coins, the
unprepared tumbler being in the mid
die. Now lift the covers off the end
tumblers, and you will see that the
paper on the opening covers the coins.
Replace the covers, lift the middle one
and coin will be seen under the tum-
bier, as the opening of this tumbler
is not covered. Drop the cover back
again and lift the other tumblers and
covers bodily, so that the spectators
can see the coins, remarking at the
same time that you can make them

RAID ON THE NOODLE SOUP.
Showing That the Civil War Was Not
All Grim, but Had Its Comedy.

Some of the incidents in war play
now running in New York suggested
to a civilian of the present generation
that the playwright of to-day takes a
whole lot of license. A veteran with
an empty sleeve took issue with him.
The incidents you mention he
said to the young man, may not have
occurred as here presented; but the
struggle had its comedy situations. 1t
was not all grim, and it was good
thing it wasn't.
There wasn't much time in the
closing days of the war for farcical in
cidents, but while the masters of the
great trouble were formulating plans
Falstaffs were plentiful in remote
places. One Of these whom 1 knew

Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov. 18th, 1907.
Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche-
wan, Mr. s. K. Rathwan says:
II have much pleasure in saying
that on my farm this year I had 500
acres in wheat, and 120 acres in oats.
Ny wheat averaged about % bushels
per acre, and had 200 acres cut be-
fore the frost, which I sold at S6
cents per bushel, thus realizing on
that wheat $500 per acre, not count
ing cost of Irvine, seed and labor. With
regard to the other 500 acres of wheat.
it got touched with frost but is worth
60 cents per bushel. 1t will net me
$500 per acre, but l do not intend
to sell it at that price, as I can make
more money by feeding it to hogs
MY oats turned out about SO bushels
| to the acre, and at 35 cents per bushel
| will give me $500 to the acre, not
| counting seed, Irvine and labor
ION account of the late spring, a
percentage of the grain was touched
with frost, but on account of good
prices, farmers will realize a fail
profit on their farms even this year

cHEouERED BOARD DIVISIONS.
Many Ways of Cutting = Board Into
Two Pieces.

There are 255 different ways of cut
ting the board into two pieces OF ex-
actly the same size and shape Every
way must involve one of the five cuts
shown in diagrams A, B, c, D and E.
To avoid repetitions by reversal and
reflection, we need only consider cuts
that enter at the points a, and c.
But the exit must always be at a
point in a straight line from the entry
through the center. This is the most
important condition to remember. In
case B you cannot enter at a, or you
will get the cut provided for in E.
Similarly in c or D, you must not
enter the key-line in the same direc'
ton as itself, or you will get A or b
If you are working on A or c. and en-

tering at a, you must consider joins
at one end only of the key-line, or
you will get repetitions. In other
cases you must consider joins at
both ends of the key; but after leav-
ing a in case D. turn always either to
right or left-uSe one direction only.
Figs. 1 and 2 are examples under
A; and 4 are examples under

course, E is a peculiar type and OBJ
