mometer never falls below 20 and new
er rises above so in the shade.
Christmas island lies about $50 miles
southeast of the western extremity of
Java. 1t is in the Indian ocean and
belongs TO Great Britain, having been
annexed in 1888. This interesting lit
tie bit of land in midsea appears to
have been originally a coral reef, which
by volcanic forces has been raised so
high that at its highest point it sticks
out of the water 1000 feet In shape
1t is an irregular quadrilateral 1t has
an area of about twenty square miles.
The British have formed settlement
on the island for the development of
the phosphate beds, which are said to
be rich. This material is used for fer
tilizer
A globe trotter who spent last Christ
mas very appropriately on Christmas
island says: "Christmas morning
bathed in the sea. Christmas after
noon. dressed in white flannel played
tennis. 1t is always summer there
A pure, cool breeze always blows from
the southeast, In January the fresh
fruits and flowers and vegetables are
as plentiful as during July or August
In the United States. Christmas island
is a little paradise nine miles wide
and about ten miles long"

WON Gil A BLUFF. y
The Way One Prosperous Merchant
Got his Start In Business.

There is Z prosperous merchant / i'll
Chicago today who owes his successful
his donation of a 5000 organ 10. u
church at 4 time when he didn't hl8ye
money enough TO buy hand organ
This donation was Il case of bluff pure
and simple. but the bluff worked AID
resulted in the subsequent wealth Of
the lucky buffer
John Smith was seeking capital to
start in business for himself. but asshe
had no security worth speaking Of he
eosld not borrow the money he resided
When he HAD tried every iegsaa he
could think OF who would be likely to
have the nseeTSsarg cash and the incl
nation to lend 1t and had been turned
down. he conceived the idea OF present
ing his church with an organ.
Young Napoleon John Smith there
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself. The man
ufacturers of the organ never thought
of questioning the financial standing
of the philanthropist who was handing
oat 5000 organs and agreed to have
the instrument set up in the church ON
time.
or course j. Smith was not a bud
that was born to blush unseen. nor did
he hide his heneficence under a bushel
lie managed to bring in at least the
flute stops no matter what the subject
of conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means Of the church organ. but the
pleased minister and the equally pleas
ed congregation spread the news of his
gift
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet On
the pretenSe of consulting some
wealthy member of the congregation
about some minor details of the organ
he would drop into an office and be
fore he left casually would mention the
subject of the company that he was
forming. Most Of the men that he thus |
saw thought that it would be good |
was making so much money that he |
was able to hand out $1,000 without |
missing It, SO that all were anxious to |
take stock in j. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the |
first payment on the organ Smith had |
gathered enough money to start his
business and was doing so well he had
no difficulty in borrowing the amount
needed to make the payment. From
that time he has made money so fast
that now he could give away several
$4,000 organs and pay for them as
well.-Chicago Tribune.

something knocks at his bed head, as if

Genesis of the Hailstone.
If it were not for the countless tril
lions of dust particles that float, sep
arately, invisible, in the atmosphere
there could be no raindrops, snow crys-
tails or hailstones. From a perfectly
dustless atmosphere the moisture would
descend in ceaseless rain without
drops. The dust particles serve as
nuclei about which the vapor gathers.
The snow crystal is the most beauti-
full creation of the serial moisture,
and the hailstone is the most extraor-
binary. The heart of every hailstone
is tiny speck of dust Such a
speck, with little moisture condensed
about il. is the germ from which may
be formed a hailstone capable of fell
ing a man or smashing a window. But
first it must be caught up by current
of air and carried to the level of the
lofty cirrus clouds. five or six or even
ten miles high Then, continually
growing by fresh accesslons of mois-
ture, it begins its long plunge to the
earth, spinning through the clouds and
flashing il the sun like diamond bolt
shot from rainbow.
