MAKESHIFT COMPASS.
Float a Magnetized Sewing Needle In
a Bowl of Water.


If thoroughly dry and clean sewing
needle Is carefully laid on the surface
Of water in basin the needle will float
IN spite Of the high density of steel
seven or eight times that of water.
On close inspection it is found that the
surface Of the water is depressed under
the needle, much as If there were q
thin film stretched over the water and
slightly indented by the weight Of the
needle.
This property Of liquids Of offering
a certain resistance to a force exerted
upon their surface is termed Surface
tension" The magnitude Of the force
Of surface tension varies from one
liquid TO another. It is greatest In the
case Of mercury. The cause of the
phenomenon must probably be looked
for in the attraction Of the liquid mole
cules to one another.
A sewing needle thus floating upon
water may be used as a compass If II
has previously been magnetized. II
win then point north and south and
will maintain this position If the con-
tanning vessel is moved about. If the
needle is displaced by force it will res
turn to its position along the mag
netic meridian as soon as the restraint
is removed.-Chicago Tribune.

KEEPING HIS BALANCE.
A Story With Moral That Is Told
Among the Tartars.

A Story With Moral That Is Told
Among the Tartars.
There is a story told among the Tar
tars which has a moral for the civil
lied men of the present day. 1t is to
this effect: Robo cousin of the great
mogul, was condemned to death for
participation in q rebellion. The most
skillful swordsman in the empire was
provided for the execution, and the
great mogul and his court were pres
ent as spectators.
The thin, keen blade flashed in the
sunlight and descended upon the bare
neck of Robo, who stood upright to re-
celve the stroke.
The executioners work was so deft-
ly done that, though the head was sew
cred, not a vital organ was disturbed.
Robo remained standing
"What, Robo, art thou not behead-
ed?" exclaimed the great mogul.
''My lord, 1 am" replied Robo, ''but
as long as keep my balance right my
head will not fall off,
The great mogul was placated. A
band was put on Robo's neck, and he
recovered. He afterward became q
loyal subject and was~made cashier of
the empire because, as the great mogul
remarked:
"He knows that If he keeps his bal
ance right his head will not come off"

 While the name is familiar to the publfe generally, but few have an idea of the benefits that result from this splendid sys- tenn of child training.

This was made by the boys of the manual training class of the high school All other parts and furnishings are made of cardboard by the children.
