STUDYING THE AIR CURRENTS
Experiments Of Interest = to Young
Aeronaut-Curious Behavior Of
Miniature Whirlwstncs.

The afrsh1p builder, old or young,
studies air currents as earnestly al
he does planes or engines or balloons
and finds much to puzzle him. Some
OF their curious effects which can be
tested by any boy, are thus described
by man interested in the subject:
Almost every one," he said, has
seen the so-called ball nozzle in which
stream of water Is caused to form
hollow cone by means of loosely
mounted or free ball directly in the
path of the water. No matter what
force the stream of water has 1t can
not dislodge the ball. The same
phenomenon is shown by air currents.
The miniature whirlwinds often
seen in the streets and roads are true
air cones, because they develop force
enough at their apex to pick up dust,
small sticks, etc., while at their base
for considerable space about their
axis there is little or no force except
that caused by atmospheric pressure
supplying the losses caused by friction
Of the inner wall of the air cones.
IF we take an ordinary lightweight
visiting card and stick pin through
the exact center of it (Which may be
determined by drawing lines diagonal
ly from each corner) as shown in Fig.
l, and then place the pointed end of
the pin in the hole of a thread spool,
allowing the card to rest upon the
head of the spool, and then blow
through the other end, it will be found
impossible to blow the card away from
the spool, in fact the harder you blow
the harder the card sticks. Even
though you blow and then point the
whole apparatus toward the ground,
allowing gravity to assist, the card
cannot be dislodged
If now we take a card about 2A
inches square Gig. y and find the
center by means of the diagonal lines
and then strike a circle about the
center having diameter twice that

The Boundary Line

"Adora!" called Mrs. Wynne from
the front door.
The girl turned at the gate and
looked back with resentful eyes. I'm
not going to speak to any of the
Lanes" she said sharply.
Il thought you might forget" said
the older woman.
II shall never forget, Aunt Ann, :"
said Adora proudly, as she passed
through the gate and out into the
crisp snow of the road.
She did not turn toward the village
street but made her way up mar
row, untrodden path. Presently the
path wound into the tall, brown silent
woods with It's carpet of snow under
foot and bare interlaced branches out
lined against the blue sky overhead.
AS Adora walked slowly through the
woods her thoughts were of the year
before, when she had first come to
make her home with Aunt Ann
Wynne. Then 1t was that the Lanes
had been Aunt AIMS most intimate
friends, but there had been trouble
over boundary line in the woods and
Mrs. Wynne complained that Silas
Lane was trying to take advantage of
the fact that she was a woman who
did not understand matters of busi-
ness-and after that it went from bal
to worse, until Silas Lane actually
claimed the brook that formed the
boundary line between the two proper
ties; then, the two families did not
recognize one another, and to friendly
little Adora this was a great blow.
But that was not the worst. When
half OF the year had gone by, John
Lane had come home from the agr1-
cultural college where he was learn
Ing to be twentieth century farmer.
Adora met him at barn dance, and
as soon as she learned the name of
the handsome stranger whose steady,
grave gray eyes followed her visit
fully In the mazes of the dance, sud-
den terror struck to her heart-for
she very much feared that she would
have liked to know John Lane. But
she was forced to whisper reminder

of the feud to one and another In or
der to avoid an Introduction to the
stranger, and when the time came to
go home, Adora had a vision of a
very stern John Lane whose eyes
avoided her timid glance, while John
Lane secretly carried away a sore
heart and recollection of a sweet, oval
face with shy brown eyes.
They met in the village and passed
haughtily by-each with beating heart.
When the holidays were over John
Lane had gone away again and Adora
lost her interest in the winter amuse-
ments Of the village and even went so
far as to find fault with Aunt AIMS at
titude against the Lanes.
Adora's way through the woods led
across the brook that formed the boun-
dairy line between the two properties.
1t added to her discomfort to find
Silas Lane, himself, diligently chop
ping hole in the Ice of the brook
preparatory to dropping fishing line
into the icy water underneath.
"Howd'y do?" said Silas, politely, as
Adora passed with daintily lifted
skirts. THE laurers pretty handsome

Adora inclined her head gravely,
but made no response. She had prom.
Used Aunt Ann not to speak to the
Lanes and she would not break her
promise-and yet, something impelled
her to pause and look wistfully back
at the old man who had returned to
his sport with little angry laugh.
Suddenly, he looked up and saw her
watching him with grave intentness
and with an impatient gesture, he
threw down his line and came toward
her.
Mad at me, ain't you. miss?" he
queried. dryly.
Adora shook her head slowly.

But Adora had sped back across the
brook, and when Silas had finished
speaking she was quite out Of sight

Wood Stew.

Wood in a certain form is a most
common and constant article of diet
on the Lena river, In northern Siberia
all along the north coast and in the
immediate neighborhood of Yakutsk
in fact wherever the Yakut resides.
North of Verchoyansk, except in a
few sheltered valleys, it may be said
there Is no other wood than the larch,
and for miles south Of the tree limit
absolutely no other.
The natives eat it because they like
It, Even when fish are plentiful it
usually forms part OF the evening
meal, as the many clearly stripped
larch logs near every hut testify.
These people know by experience
that the fact Of their eating wood
arouses the sympathies of strangers,
and shrewdly use it to excite pity and
to obtain a gift of tea and tobacco.
They scrape off the thick layers i'm
mediately under the bark of a log,
and chopping it fine mix it with snow
It is then boiled in a kettle. Some.
times little fish is mixed with it,
and further south cows milk or but.

vested With enormous power and
could determine the fate of any

consisted of five members, three
Republicans, including the Speak
