The Little Red Devil.

You will often run across a jolly
looking individual who wears a but
ton on which is figure which looks
like little red devil. He belongs to
the Order Of the Rejuvenated Sons OF
Jove and must necessarily be an cleo
trical man.
The order is national in its scope
and includes electrical statesmen, en-
gineers, inventors, manufacturers and
others engaged in electrical callings.
Every once in a while the order holds
"rejuvenation;" they had one at
the last electrical show in Chicago.
1t is told that they had u pair OF
electrical shoes" there through
which the luckless initiate. before his
rejuvenation was esteemed complete,
received most startling shocks

FOr:the \
Younger
Children,

The Shetland ponies are known the
world over. They are shaggy little
animals weighing only about ono
hundred pounds, but they are very
hardy, sure footed and sensible.
Their coats are usually some shade
OF brown, though some are of such
a rich black that they are considered
very beautiful. For this reason the
black ponies are the most valuable.
The sheep of Shetland are small, hav-
Ing short tails and short horns. Soma
are white, other gray white; still
others are brown or black. Because
the wool grown on the native sheep
OF Shetland is finer than that grown
on any other sheep, Shetland wools
are sold great deal in their natural
colors for fancy work. The wool is
so fine that it can be spun into
threads finer than lace threads. 1t is
Shetlander's boast that a stocking
made of the wool of one of these
native sheep may be drawn through
lady's ring. The cows of these
Islands are small, and usually marked
with several colors. The native pigs
OF Shetland are unlike the native
"porkers" We are used to seeing, for
they are quite slim, on account OF
being fed on fish. Their meat, too,
has a different flavor, for the taste of
fish is even in the pork.

THOMAS EDISON.

This is true story about a man
Who Is alive to-day. He has invented
a talking machine, has given us tho
| electric lights and has invented hum,
dreds OF useful things which give
comfort to people all over the world.s
He has even made an instrument to
measure the heat of the far-off stars. >
Sixty-three years ago, when this
great man was born, no one dreamed.
that some day the name of Thomas
&dison would be so famous AS the.
liNle boy grew into childhood he
asked many questions which were diff
ficuN to answer, for he wanted to
known the why and how of many :
thingsA When young Edison was
twelve wears old he began to earn :
money, hpr he started in business as
a newsboA selling fruits, peanuts and .
papers on She train. HIS brightness
and pleasantness gained many Gus
toners.
With the money earned he bought,
powders and liquids to use for en-
periments. All of these jars and bot.
ties Of things were Kept in an old bag
gage car and labeled poison" so
that no one would interfere with
them. Soon Edison wanted to print
4 paper of his own, so bought some
old type from printing office. His
shop was in the baggage car where he
kept his chemicals. After being a
newsboy for four years an accident
happened which caused young Edison
to change his work. The baggage
car in which the boy kept his chem
icals and printing press caught fire
BY the falling of bottle of phos-
phorus on the floor. So angry was the !
conductor that after putting out the
fire he boxed Thomas Edison's ears
and threw his materials out of the
car. Later Edison set up his print
ing press at his home. ."'-, N-....-..--G
AS the boy grew older he studied
telegTaphy from a Mr.. McKensie, who
took great pains in teaching Edison,
for Edison had risked his life to save
that of Mr.. McKensie's child, who
was playing on the track of moving
engine. The great inventor as q
young man was not very successful in
keeping positions, for his employers
complained that he had too many
plans of his own.
AS the man grew older these plans
and many more were worked out until
Thomas Edison has given pleasure
and comfort to millions Of people by
the work Of his hands and brain.
This untiring worker still spends
much OF his time in trying to discover
better ways Of doing things.-Wash,

GAME OF BEAN BAG.

Two captains are chosen, who Sc
lect an equal number of players for
their sides. The sides stand so tha.
they are in two lines facing each
other. Each captain stands on the
right-hand end of his line. BY this
arrangement the captains are then
dfagonally opposite. Each captain
throws bean bag to the player oppo-
site. These players throw the bags
across to the players second in line
These second players throw the ball
back to the opposite side, but to the
players next to those who had the
bags last. This plan Is continued
down both lines, SO that every one
has turn to throw and to catch each
bag. The bags return in tie same
way. Playing with the two bags
makes the game very interesting, es-
pecially since the bags cross in about
the middle of the line. When a player
misses catch or throws to the wrong
person he must join the line at the
other side. After each bag has been
up and down the line twice the game
is ended. The side having the most
players wins the game. To keep
score, count the players on each side
at the close OF the game. II one side
has six players and the other side
eight the score Is six to eight. When
the players on one side are fewer
than those Of the other, the end
player OF the short side throws the
bag to each OF the extra players on
the long side before it starts back
down the ine.-Washington Star.
HOME OF THE SHETLAND PONY.
Just off the coast of Scotland there
Is group OF islands called the Shet-
land Islands. On one of this group
OF Shetlands the men are so large
they are almost giants, for they are
tall, strong and broad shouldered.
Their wives and children, too, are fine
looking and intelligent. Only twenty
five miles away from this island of
Fetlar Is one called Muckle Roe.
There the men are small, ill-shaDen.
homely, and, in fact, look almost like
queer little dwarfs. These people
are SO very loyal to each other that
they do not like to welcome any Of
their neighboring islanders to live IN
Muckle Roe. For this reason these
queer people make very little pro-
gress. When the people OF Shetland
Islands reach the age of twenty they
feel rather sure of long life, for over
half OF the population live 70 be sew
enty years old and many OF the people
lead vigorous out-of-door lives until
they are past eighty years of age.

TEE SURGEONS HAND.
The MAKETH THE BLIND TO SEE"

Mary Murdoch Mason in The Century.
Seneath his wrist there stirs a sur gods thought
A stiong magnetic current swiftly flows
Through palm and fnger-tip, and power bestows
On tiny blade of steel with promise fraught.
Up toward the eye the charged blade is brought,
Marble, moonlit, the arched cornea shows
The iris, lying ladyike in repose,
And the deep pupil where the soul is caught
Let there be light; he says-"Let there he light"
And, solemn the sign of cross, the hand
Performs the miracle. At that command
The pulsing thought leaps toward the blind mans night
Symbolic, like a doves flight to its nest
The haced hand drops down and is at rest

From coal-tar Professor Remsen
derived saccharln. Already other
chemists had made coal-tar the basis
for the manufacture of innumerable
dyes and perfumes and fiavors and
drugs. 1t was reserved for DR.. REM

within it the possibility Of a sweeten-
ing material Of six hundred times the
power of ordinary cane-sugar. An

The extremes to which chemists
will go in the use of waste material
is illustrated by case furnished by
Mr.. Peter T. Austen, formerly pro-
lessor of chemistry at Rutgers COL
lege. At Mulhausen, in Germany,
there was yarn-mill. This mill pro-
duced, as a waste-product, an enorm-
Gus quantity Of soapsuds. The sight
of soapsuds going absolutely and ir-
revecably to waste was so painful to
neighboring chemist that finally he
devised method by which he precip-
itated those suds with lime, and
pressed them into briquettes. Fur
thermore, from the briquettes he
manufactured gas which had three
times the illuminating power of ord
mary gas, and which he used to light
the mill.

A French inventor, M. Paul Jegou,
has devised an electrolytic detector
which operates without the use of a
battery to affect telephone receivers.
The detector consists Of glass cup
containing at the bottom a small
amount OF mercury with some pure
tin In solution. This serves as one
electrode, while the other electrode
Is OF the usual type, namely a fine
Wollaston wire. Diluted sulphuric
acid Is used for the electrolyte. The
detector is found to act like a small
battery, and yet possesses all of the
sensitiveness of the electroyltic de-
tector. One Of these detectors used
at Paris was found to receive signals
sent from the Ouessant post on the
coast.-Scientiflc American.

TO SAFEGUARD DIGNITY,

II is only recently that the Senate re-
buked Secretary Ballinger for writing
bills and sending them 10 the Capitol
instead of transmitting them 10 Con
gress through the President. Secretary
Ballinger apologized.
Toward the close Of the Roosevelt
Administration. the Senate had this
same question before IL. It delivered

cause officials lower than the President

II is clear, however, that it is far from
being the only reason.
