QUEER, ISN'T IT.

GUS Of the funny figures the absent
minded professor whose habitual UNI
brella-losing proclivlties have made
generations laugh. This figure had its
origin at a time, he says, when the
man Of letters was a helpless person
In the active world-a dreamer dwell
Ing In realms away from the actual
and therefore blind to his surround
ings. In this form he has been repre-
scented in the comic papers. But Ger
many, he thinks, not the professor, has
been and Is being caricatured. The
professor to-day must be a wide-awake
man, for science is no longer an island.
These are not the days for sleep and
for dreams. Another abused character
is the lieutenant who, having no foe
to fight. is always shown as making
conquests where Amor has command.
The old maid is another Of the stock
figures, and one of equal Importance
is Mr.. Newlyrich. OF the latter It is
said: ''He is always full of fear and
suspicion. He knows that he has been
misplaced, and he sways from side TO
side like timid rope walker. This
makes him real funny. and we must
laugh at his antics"

block No. g. of the West Shore Rail-
Weehawken tunnel, says the New York
Tribune
The device looks like a big iron hogs
head sunk In the ground. Inside is a
wheel with twenty spokes. On each of
the spokes Is a tln-cased torpedo at
tached to an arm. and the duty OF the
complicated cogs and levers beneath the
simple looking wheel is to thrust out
these torpedoes upon the track so that
the drivers Of an engine may cause
them to explode
Mr.. Zorge's system places In each
block" of a railroad three circuits,
approach" locking" and danger"
The length OF block is determined by
the nature of the traffic. and at the
Weehawkee tunnel II Is mile. A
train passing the approach circuit acts,
through its iron wheel and axles. as a
conductor which carries the electric
current from the point where 1t is re-
ceived across to another wire, through
which it runs to the armature beside
the torpedo machine. When the train
passes beyond the point, a mile distant,
1t similarly readjusts the current, leav-
ing the entrance to that block clear.
The point of the device is that II
while the train is running through the
so close behind as to pass the approach
circuit this contact would de-energize
the current. Then the mechanism of
the signal would be set working and
one Of the spolSes would be thrust out
to the track surface and hold torpedo
there to be exploded. The conclusion
would put the engineer on his guard
If he had not noticed the semaphore
signal.

Cut-Up Pictures.


There is a craze just now for section
al pictures. The grown-ups have taken
up this children's game and are 80
fond of 1t that they have formed clubs
In Boston Just to play it. If you want
to make a sectional picture game I'll
tell you how.
First you choose a large colored pic
ture-perhaps your mother will let you
take one from a large magazine-and
Won paste 1t on a sheet of cardboard
and after it is dry cut it up into little
pieces with nice, irregular edges, The
''grown-ups" paste the picture on a
thin sheet OF wood and cut 1t up with
scroll saw and afterward polish the
edges with sandpaper. but this is much
harder to do, although 1t makes the
game more durable. When they are all
cut out mix up the pieces and then try
to fit them together to make the pic
ture again. Even when you have cut
out the game yourself and know what
the picture ought to look like when 1t
Is finished you will find 1t hard to put
1t together again and when some one
else has made 1t and you don't know
what the picture is going TO be 1t Is
harder. And it Is still harder II. when
you cut 1t out, you separate the differ
ent colors of the picture by cutting
along the outlines Of the figures. If
any one asks you to make something
for a fair you might make some sec
tional picture games.-Chicago News.

MY Geography.

Where palm-trees grow and simoons blow
And Arab caravans wind and go,
And the green, shady Gases are.

We could see ice-foes and Eskimos,
And the northern lights all gold and rose,
Where the sun shines by night and by

how battered and rusty the craft may
be, one is pretty sure to find the canary
somewhere in the rooms of the officers

and the canary himself usually is a
singer whose trill and whistle are of
the best. The little songsters appear
to enjoy life on the ocean. Seldom are
