"O-oh!" said the twins and Frank In
breath; "how funny it would be if the
earth were like that" II most wish
it was" continued frankie, wistfully.
THE little boy in the book seemed
very glad to wake up and find it
wasn't" answered his governess with
a smile. But, children, do you know
that this idea is very good illustra-
tion of what our earth is really like?"
What, like a cream puff? Why, Miss
Harriet you must be joking" said
Eta with doubtful laugh.
mo, not full of custard cream, as the
verses say, but boiling lava instead
You need not be frightened, my dears,"
seeing their looks of dismay. "The
crust is quite thirty miles thick, though
only 260th part of the diameter of
the earth, which is 1912 miles. Now
suppose we had a cream puff, a nice
round one, four inches thick Then
the crust, being 260th part of this
diameter, would only be as thick as
postal card. So, you see, in proportion
our earth'S surface seems very thin
But II is growing thicker all the time
as the glowing mass inside cools off.
Once upon time, you know, the whole
was a ball of fire and shed light like
the sun does to US now. Through
thousands and thousands of years it
has cooled and will continue to do so.
The ridges and dents in our cream
puff are very like the unevenness of
the earth's surface as it shrinks. If
some of the custard would spout up
through an opening it would be like
our volcanoes as the molten mass seeks
an outlet for it's energy. Earthquakes
are caused by the contraction of the
crust as it cools. These will gradually
cease. Life did not come to exist on
our earth until thousands of wears
after the cooling began. Gases and
vapors surrounded the big sphere, the
streams of rain turning to stem as
they touched the hot surface, but
gradually aiding it to cool and forming
the oceans, which first covered the en-
tire crust, but gradually sank into the
crevices and creases, and so let the
land appear. Thus we have spent a
very pleasant and profitable afternoon,
and have found the cream-puff dream
more of a reality than the little fellow
knew. w.-Philadelphia Record.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-24

There was quite a large family of the
Morrises. There were, of course, Papa
and Mamma Morris, then came Ben
the eldest son and big brother of the
household; then Lizzie and Eta, the
girls in their early teens; then Ed
ward; then the twins. Blanch and May,
aged g. and finally wee frankie, the
pet and darling of the family. This
goodly company lived in the country
on fine farm, where each child
learned the mysteries and interesting
work of gardening and chicken raising,
as well as the fascinations of dairy
work. And meanwhile their book les
sons were not neglected; not a bit of
it! A dear lady lived with them and
was governess, friend and playfellow
to them all
Often in the warm, lazy afternoons
she would take as many of the little
folks as she could gather together and
go to shady spot by the brookside.
Here they spent many happy hours
with books and story telling until it
was time to eat their picnic supper as
the sun get. Sometimes Miss Harriet
taught them bits of geography in the
most delightful manner. She would
point out small islands in the brook or
banks Irregularities. Rivers, bays and
inlets were pointed out in the same
manner, which was certainly much
nicer than learning them from the awe
some big book in the school room.
One afternoon she was reading them
verses from an illustrated book. One
of the pictures represented a little boy
digging a spoon into a big cream puff
such as we buy at the corner bakery.
Wee frankie was so delighted with this
picture that Miss Harriet had to read
the verses which accompanied it over
and over again. They read as follows:
A DREAM OF SWEETS
I dreamed such a wonderful dream last
night
Such wonderfully curious dream
dreamed that the earth was a puff ball
bright,
Filled full of custard cream.
And the rivers and mountains were water
Ice;
The sea was of lemonade;
While the sand and the soil were sugar and
And the trees were of candy made!
All of the children with shouts of glee
Began to devour the sweets;
They ate up the mountains and drank the
sea,
And gobbled up homes and streets;
OF all the rare goodies we left no taste
On top of the puff ball earth.
And then we dug down through its crust
of paste
TO what it's cream was worth
The rich yellow custard had come into view,
Our spoons were in readiness;
When, alas! the crust broke and all fell
through.
Right into the sticky mess!

SPIDERS AIRSHlP

Wonderful airShipS are now made
by men who sail around in them high
in the air. There are many styles of
these machines now, but it was years
before any one could make one CT these
great canvas ships rise from the
ground. If people could build airships
as easily as a spider we could all fly
to distant lands to enjoy new sights
every day When a spider wants to
travel through the air he first climbs
a high rock or post when the wind is
blowing Then he starts spinning fine
silk threads, which float out into the
breeze. AS soon as the wise little in
sect feels that these small threads are
strong enough to hold him, he springs
into the air, to be carried along by
the wind
Sometimes the spider mounts high
into the sky, where he sails for miles
before he comes down to the fields and
trees again. Usually baby spiders
travel in this way, yet they are not
afraid. In one family there are often
forty or fifty tiny baby spiders about
as large as pin heads, 1t is hard for
all of these to find food in one place,
so when they are hungry they decide
to sail away in search of breakfast
up to the tops of small plants and
there spin their sails and start away
with the kindly breezes. When they
arrive in new homes the spiders
usually find no trouble in getting food,
for Mother Nature spreads many tables
for her children.

HAMMOCK A BOY CAN MAKE

AS soon as vacation time rolls around
every boy wants to work in his little
homemade tool shop. Making barrel
staVe hammock is one of the first
pieces of work for the young carpenter.
First obtain a clean flour barrel and
about eighteen or twenty feet of small,
strong rope. Knock off the hoops at
the top and bottom of the barrel but
leave the other hoops in their places.
About four inches down from the top
and the same distance up from the bot
tom draw lines around the barrel.
These lines are guides which show
where to bore the holes in the slaves.
BY using an augur or a red-hot poker
bore two holes a little larger than the
rope used in each end of each barrel
staye. Bore these holes through the
pencil lines at each end of the barrel
and about one and one-half inches in
from each of the sides of each staVe.
If the slaves are very broad more
margin might be allowed, but care
should be taken not to make the two
holes in each stave come too close to-
gether, as that will cause the end to
split. Fasten the slaves at one end
of the barrel together with a rope,
threading it under and over through
the holes. Then fasten the other end
of the slaves together In the same way,
allowing half of the rope for each side.
Do not cut the rope, as the long
ends left are for hanging the ham,
mock from trees or posts. In thread
ing the slaves keep the rope very loose,
so that the slaves may be spread when
swung as a hammock. Remove the
bottom of the barrel and any hoops
that have been left on. Spread out the
hammock and swing between two
shady trees. To protect the wood from
the weather, paint your new piece of
work a pretty red. For comfort use
washable quilt to throw over the ham,
mock when you wish to enjoy your
story book of wonderful people,

In the Yellowstone park geyser basin

HOW HE GOT HIS START

document and a certificate of a cer-
tain amount of formal work, need
never be regretted by the man whd
has done what many an A. b. has not
Much the same is true in military life
as this story from the Chicago Record
Herald testifes. 1t concerns a boy
who, before he was IL years old, was
musician in a Michigan regiment
during the Civil War. At the battle
of Chickamauga he threw away his
drum, picked up a musket and in the
two days fight did full duty as a pri-
vate soldier. For an act of courage
he was made a lance sergeant, and as
such served to the end of his term,
which included the battles under Gen.
Grant about Chattanooga in Novem-
ber, 1868.
His people were poor. They could
not send him to school before he was
a soldier, and they received most of
his pay while he was in the army.
When the war was over he had to
work at anything ne could find to do
to help his family.
In 1871, when he was 20 years old, he
determined to seek an appointment to
West Point. His friends tried to dis
suade him, knowing that his lack of
certain that he would not be accepted.
Nobody would nominate you for a
cadet" said one of his friends.
well, | am going to. try, anyway"
he replied. president Grant knows
something about me, and he may send
me to West Point"
President Grants attention was re-
called to the chld-soldier of 1868, and
he was asked to nominate him for the
Military academy. The nomination
was made at once, but the boy was
found" or, to use a less technical
term, he failed. He was short in math-
ematics, short in history short in lit
erature, short in height and weight
and short in general information.
In time the youngster appeared in
Washington with a fixed purpose to
see his soldier comrade and friend in
the White House, President Grant.
Whom do you wish to see?" asked
a doorkeeper.
THE president"
You can't see him now"
After waiting half an hour the boy
tapped the doorkeeper on the shoulder
and asked how much longer he would
have to wait.
Il guess you can't see the president
today" was the reply.
Il guess 1 can. You go in and tell
him that John Clem of company C.
Twenty-second Michigan, wants to see
him."
The message was conveyed to the
president. A cabinet minister was
comforting with his chief at the time
Directions were given to let the visitor
come right in" The great soldier
shook John Glen cordially by the
hand.
"They thought they didn't want me
at West Point, General Grant" said
the boy.
The president, after a moments re-
Election, wrote a note, slipped it into an
envelope, addressed it and told his
caller to take it TO General Belknap,
the secretary of war.
The secretary read the presidents
note. looked the young fellow over
carefully and asked him to be seated.
do you know what this note con-
tains?" asked the Iowa general.
Il do not, SIR
president Grant directs me to ap-
point you a second lieutenant in the
United States army"
That was done. He was made first
lieutenant in 1874, a captain in 1882, a
major in 1895, a lieutenant colonel IN
1901 and colonel in 1903
