paper lying on the street. He picked

Diameter Of a Fine Wire.

Should you ever find it necessary to
obtain the diameter of fine wire, It
may be done in this manner: Wind it
carefully around a piece Of pencil in
one ,1le layer for an inch or so, that each
turn rs touching the previous one. Then
measure exactly an inch along the wire
and count the number of turns In the
inch. You then have the information.
Thus, II there are eighteen turns the
wire Is one-eighteenth Of an inch in di-
ameter.

FoundereG.

FoundereG.
New York, Feb. while the
steamer st. Andrew, bound from Ant.
werp for this port, was blowing her
way through the stormy seas of the
banks of Newfoundland last Friday
she was all but engulfed In huge
wave which suddenly swept down
upon her. So great was the force OF
the blow that the big ship was
brought to a stop and for the moment
while she staggered helplessly, some
of those on board feared she would
founder. Everything movable was
swept away by the irresistible rush
of water. Cattle fittings were torn
out. the lifeboats were filled and a
food of water swept into the stoke
holes. Fortunately no one on the
steamer was injured.

lips. why" is almost poetical in it.

ameter in the languages:
why do the heather rage and the

Its uses in poetry are almost infinite,
and one modern writer makes almost a
line of it alone:
Why do the night winds sigh,
The sea birds wildly cry
The summer clouds pass by,
The lilies droop and die,
The light fade from the sky?
Why-oh, why?
To most of the why's there is not a
good because. The inquiring mind is
puzzled to account for many things

Of such questions occur to us at every

OBSERVATIONS.
by "Doc"1

Most people gladly take advice
from stranger.
Occasionally fuIl-bearded man
tells bare-faced lie.
Fortunately stupid people seldom
realize that they are stupid.
A man usually aims at human
target when he shoots off his mouth.
All things come to him who waits
even the almshouse and potter's
field.
Ever notice that the compliments
some people hand you always leave
a bitter taste?
How we would like to sec all the
kickers and knockers get together
and fight it out!
