sponsible for the imperial policy. This assumption is unfounded.
 "His majesty received from pri- vato Englishman, with request that he be permitted to publish it, the man. uscript of an article in which series of conversations between the emperor and several English personalities, held at various dates, were put together. The reason given for the request was in order to make known his majesty s utteranccs to the largest possible num- Der of English readers, thus serving to improve Anglo-German relations.
 "The emperor forwarded this manu- script to theh chancellor, who in turn sent it to the foreign office with a note requesting careful scrutiny. The foreign office did not report any thing objectionable in the contents, and pub lication thereupon followed. When the chancellor, as result of the publica- tion in the Daily Telegraph, became aware of the contents of this manu. script, he explained to the emperor that he personally had not read it and that had he done so, he would have hesitated and advised against it's publication.
 "He holds himself alone responsible, and he desires to protect the officials under him. At the same time he has offered to resign, but the emperor would not accept his resignation. On the re- quest of the chancellor, however, his majesty has permitted the publication of this explanation, so that Prince Won Buelow would be in position to meet the unjustifable attacks on theh person of the emperor"

 "Ohr' exclaimed. "Yes. yes! We'll, In the first place. l begin by lying that is. l lie in bed to think the whole thing out in every detail. 1 watch my opportunity. and on the first fine day steal few hours from my business. Then l borrow saw--a steel one and with it I rob the tree upon which l want to graft of some of its larger branches. This try to do in such a way that the loss of the branches will not be noticed. These limbs should not be left lying-tbat is. lying on the ground. They are unsightly and may attract the attention of passersby. They should be hustled behind the lat ticework screen at once. So far so good. Now. let me see-oh, yes! rob another tree of few twigs hay ing buds on them and insert them fin the ends of the sawed branches on the tree. Then l take some beeswax and tallow and melt them together. This must be thoroughly mixed. Work 1t for all you're worth to make 1t pliable. Finally with this try to hide all ap- pearance of he graft. from sunlight and air. and there you are-the job is done"
 .I sec" said Brown. "and I think I'm foxy enough to do the trick the first time trying Many thanks"
 Shortly after l heard Brown telling his wife how I explained the process. This Is the way he had 1t:
 First" be says. you must be a good liar: then you watch your chance and steal a half day from the com pany's time: then you steal a saw; then you defraud the tree of some branches. which you must hide. so no body will get on; then you rob some body's tree of twigs. put them in the ends Of the branches and cover your tracks with beeswax and tallow."
 Said Browns wife: "l don't think that man can be trusted. He has two kinds of grafting mixed. and. besides. he didn't tell you where to steal the apple trees."-Judge.

THE GAME OF DIABOLO

cardboard, and the stick holding
the two bobbins run through it.
To use this double bobbin the
sticks must have two strings to fit
in the groove of the two bobbins.
When the double bobbin is twirled
and thrown into the air, the paper
pinwheel will revolve at great
speed and produce peculiar aerial
movements. The bobbin will at
first shoot upward like an airship.
and then turn upside down and
slowly come to the earth The sup
porting power of the pinwheel will
often carry the bobbins several
hundred feet before they return
to the ground.
A slight breeze gives a verita BILE
airship effect to the flying instru-
ment. Two rubber bands such as
used for umbrellas must be fas-
tened to the inserting stick to
keep the pinwheel from getting
caught in the two bobbins.
The Chinese Used a Parachute
THE Chinese used a primitive
sort of parachute with the
bobbins. This parachute, made of
rather stiff rice paper, was closed
and wrapped carefully round one
end of the bobbin. When hurled in
tothe air the force of the motion
and the air releases the para
chute, and when the weight of
the bobbin begins to pull down.
ward the parachute opens and
supports the descending weight,
as seen in Fig. 3. Frequently
in China the parachute arrange
ment would hold the bobbin in
the air for five minutes, and on
a holiday it was not unusual to
see the air literally full of these
tiny parachutes, carrying their
small burdens along. They were
made of different colored papers,
and the effect was somewhat faS-
cinating.
An American variation in the
y diabolo game is the construc-
! ton of a bobbin with small
whistle concealed in one end.
When the bobbin is thrown
into the air, the wind blows
the whistle and produces a
shrill sound which dies out
gradually to a low murmur as
the instrument descends. AS
these bebbins can be hurled to
a great distance in the air, the
whistling of half a dozen of them
may easily resemble miniature
fireworks as they hurtle upward.
The whistling diabolo bobbin may
in time be followed by the har-
monica and trumpet bobbin, and
the air will thus reproduce noises
that will rival the hurdygurdies of
city streets.
