To Preserve Leaves.

A simple method of preserving the
natural color of leaves is to press each
ne separately with hot flatiron, lay
ng thu leaf upon paper, then rubbing
the iron over wax or paraffine and
pressing the leaf On both sides until
dry. After ironing several leaves in
this manner there will be enough wax
left on the paper, so that the leaves
will require ironing on one side only.
Leaves should not be wet when
ready to be pressed. Spread them
carefully between layers of newspa-
pers or other paper equally absorb
ent, taking care to use plenty of pa
per. After the leaves are spread out
disturb the paper as little as possible;
but the outer layers must be changed
frequently at first and later every two
or three days. Keep in a warm, dry
place, as the color is best preserved
by rapid drying.

Any girl with an ordinary public
school education can do something to
improve her mind little every day.
She can read page of some good
book-a book of travel, or a book of
history, or book of poems, or book
of essays-and she can think of what
she has read, and by copying in a
blank book few sentences or lines
which impress her, she can improve
her knowledge of spelling and phras-
ing, so that she will acquire after a
year of such practice better educa-
tion than many high school graduates
possess. Any librarian will advise an
ambitious girl what books to read for
self-culture. To read a novel hurried
ly, just for the sake of knowing how
it comes out" is only waste of time
and brain power. Good novels are
worth reading, but they should leave
something in the mind besides the
story, or they are better left unread.

PIGEONS Will eAaRY CAMERAS.
Ingenious Photographic Apparatus In
vented by German.


Photographs taken from airships or
balloons have long been considered a
practical method of learning the
whereabouts OF an enemy's forces or
Notifications in time of war, but snap
shots by a camera attached to a
pigeon are an altogether new idea.
This minute Photographic apparatus Is
the invention of German, DR.. Neu-
bronner, and has just been patented.
The officials at the German patent Of
fee were disposed to ridicule the in
vention at first, but after proofs of its
practicability were offered their opin-
ions changed The German war Office
recognized its strategic value, and they
believe that photographing pigeons
can render much assistance to be-
sieging army.
The miniature camera weighs only
2b ounces, and that is considered the
maximum weight which a homing
pigeon could carry in a fight of not
more than 100 miles. AS many as 80
snapshots may be taken automatical-
ly, and the instant of exposure can be
so timed that the desired views will
be obtained. BY this means objects
may be photographed from no greater
height than 150 to 800 feet, an impos-
sible feat for an airship or balloon.

ALWAYS Liaht in the Sky.

"The sky" says the Scientific Amer.
lean, is never dark. This, however,
is not due to the sun, but to the stars.
The Milky Way is above the horizon
in summer IN our latitude, and it gives
a great deal of light by night, enough
to make the night sky of that time
brighter than when it is not a part
of our night sky, as is the case in
winter. Then, too, the stars which
cannot be seen by the unaided eye
give us much light The stars which
are not visible to the eye give more
light than those which are visible"
