A ZERO COURrSHiP.

The Practical Young Man and the
Girl from Boston had known each
other for nearly two weeks, and two
weeks is a long time when there are
moonlight nights and stretch Of shell
tered beach with an old wrecked
schooner smuggling down comfortably
In its sandy grave. 1t seemed as
though they had known each other
for years and years. The Practical
Young Man said so. and the Girl from
Boston, knowing him to be practical,
agreed with him.
Ons night. when feecy cloud
passed accommodatingly across the
moon, and the sheltered beach seemed
even more sheltered than usual, and
the old wreck was actually redolent OF
romance instead of tar. on that night

Boston If he might kiss her.
The Girl from Boston shivered.

in use for ages and still retains its
original form. Attempts to pull a cork
with the ordinary corkscrew in many
cases ends disastrously to the person
making the attempt, especially when
the cork fits tightly in the neck Of the
bottle and refuses to be removed I'M
til the bottle has been placed between
the knees and the corkscrews tugged
at for several minutes. Then it invaria-
bly, comes out with e sudden jerk,
throwing the contents in all direc-
tons. Notice how simply and easily
even the most tightly wedged cork
can be withdrawn with the corkpuller
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton. After the corkscrew proper has
been inserted in the cork, the upright
arm forming a wedge is placed on the
neck of the bottle. Using the handle
as a lever, the most obstinate cork
can be readily extracted without en-
dangering the clothes of the operator
When not in use, the corkscrew anC
wedge can be folded within the outel
end of the handle, which is followed
out to form 4 housing.

Called 6arysphere.

A French scientist advances the fol-

is known to be more than five times
that of water. AS the outer layers of
the crust have a very feeble density

follows that the interior must have a
density of about IT, which Is that of
