Some Interesting Tricks

Now that winter time is here and
there are long, cool evenings our
thoughts naturally turn TO some in
door amusements to- pass the time
after study hours. A watch of any
kind that is easily proeurab1e will
serve for amusement and for giving
you a little information at the same
time
If you should close Your ears tight
~ by pressing your fingers on them
so that if some one held the watch
close to them you could not hear it
ticking you would think that natural
result. Now. still keeping your ears
closed have the watch placed between
your teeth and you viii hear the tick
ing distinctly. That is because the
sound is conducted 90 the inside of
the ear through the teeth and the
bones of the head which act as rever-
berators, like the sounding board of a
violin or a piano, by reinforcing the
sound.
With the watch held at such dis
tance that the ticking in inaudibIe
take a long pole ana have the watch
held at one end with your ear at the
other end and you will hear the tick
ing. Or place the end of the pole be-
tween your teeth and the same result
will be produced. The sound is car
ried along the pole
Let some one hold the watch while
you move away from it gradually
When you reach a point where you can
no longer hear the tick let con-
vex mirror or lamp reflector be held
behind the watch and you will again
hear the tick. Move to one side and
you will not hear it. So, you see, the
convex surface reflects the sound and
sends it farther, just as it apparently
enlarges light when rejecting it.
An amusing trick may be performed
with the same watch, which always
perplexes those who have not seen it
done. Tell some one to think of some
number on the dial from l to II. Then
with a pencil begin TO tap on different
numbers, telling the one who has
thought of number to add i mentally
to the number thought of each time
you tap. Tell him TO stop when he
reaches 20 and to call it out AS he
says the word your pencil will be
pointing to the number that he orig
inally thought of.
To do this without fail you may tap
on any number at ALL skipping about
the dial for the first seven of your
own count, done mentally, but your
eighth count, which is the key to the
trick. must invariably be made on No
II of the dial. Continue your taps
thereafter without skipping, moving
backward on the dial from u to II, to
10. and so on until go" is called by the
experimenter, when your pencil will be
tapping the number he thought of.

Annie Laurie

Maxwelton braes are bonnie
. Where early fa's the dew;
And it's there that Annie Laurie
Gie'd me her promise true
Gie'd me her promise true,
Which ne'er forgot will be:
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doune and dee.
Her brow is like the snawdrift
Her throat is like the swan.
Her face it is the fairest
That e'er the sun shone on.
And dark blue is her e'e;
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doune and dee.
Like dew on tlRe gowan lying
Is the ia O. her fairy feet;
Like the winds in summer sighing.
Her voice is low and sweet
Her voice is low and sweet;
And she's a the world to me:
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
Id lay me dOune and dee.

To the Grow

Say, weary bird. whose level fight,
Thus at the dusky hour of night
Tends through the midnight air,
Why yet beyond the verge of day
Is heightened out thy dark delay,
Adding another to the hours of care
The wren within her messy nest
Has hushed her little brood to rest
The wood wild pigeon, rocked on
high,
Has cooed his last soft note of love,
And fondly nestles by his dove,
To guard their downy young from
an inclement sky
Haste, bird, and nurse thy callow brood,
They call on heaven and thee for food,
Bleak-on some cliffs neglected tree;
Haste, weary bird. thy tagging flight
1t is the chilling hour of night,
Fit hour of rest for thee.

Romans Invented Horsepower

The Romans, among whom agricuI-
ture was a highly favored occupation,
We're an inventive race, especially in
the matter of labor saving machines.
Recognizing the drudgery of hand
mills, they invented those whose motive
power was impaired by asses. mules
and oxen and introduced them into all
the countries conquered by their vic
torious armies. There is no positive
record of the name of the originator
of this Improvement IN milling.

Although the turkey is frequently
spoken of as the great American

of the farmers.

CALL OF OFFICER ON
ESTRADA MAKES COMMENT

London, Nov. 26.-The publication
here of the dispatch from Bluefelds,
Nicaragua, which found its way into
the United States by way of Colon,
and was cabIed to London, to the
effect that Commander Thesiger, Of
the British cruiser Sylla, had paid an
official visit to provisional President
Estrada, excited some comment here
today. The story lacks official con-
firmation here.
As a matter of fact. the recognition
of Nicaraguan insurgents has never
been considered by this government.
The SyIla was ordered to the east of
Nicaragua to watch the interests of
the British residents. The cruiser re-
ported her arrival at BlUefields, but
no mention was made of a visit of
Commander Thesiger to Estrada.
The war dispatches from Bluefields,
Nicaragua, should be read in the light
OF the knowledge that Bluefields is
the headquarters of the insurgents,
who are able to control the news dis
patches sent out of that city Just as
absolutely as President Zelaya regu-
lates press matter emanating from Ma
nagua.

Only because he was more feet of foot

a young man, known well in the city,
it is asserted. escaped arrest last night
for an alleged insult offered a young
lady in Seville square. The story goes
that the fresh" youngster had offered
a gross insult to the girl and she had
complained of it to policeman Off
Ger Dole was the man who heard OF
it and when he approached the party
who was pointed out there was foot
race, the pursued one understanding
the bIuecoat and escaping by a bare
margin. A good description has been
furnished and an arrest may be made
today.
From a story told the policeman,
and later reported to the police sta
ton, the young lady had been sub
jected to a gross insult while in the
square, and she complained. Officer
Dole started for the square in re-
spouse to a report of it and then the
chase started. Westward on Church
street, southwark on Tarragona street,

and then the police station heard of
it.
1t was asserted last night that spe-

the square named on account OF the
disrespect which many youngsters,
who know better, have for ladies who
pass by or through that place after
dark A bandstand erected there had

youngsters, who made use OF bad
