The chickweeds' starry flowers tell

The dandelions have the same habit
Likely the golden flowers do not want
to uncover their curly heads unless
they can look up TO the sun. If you
watch dandelions you will see that
they do not open on the mornings u
the days when rain falls.

blossoms that they with not evenNehow

A Wooden Balloon.

Many thin-s havo happened since
the time Of the ! JntgoE-ers, and per
haps the most remarkable of all is the
invention of a German engineer. Herr
Rettig. Instead Of having for the en-
velope of his balloon silk or goldbeat.
ers' skin he has adopted wood. The
new aerostat is 100 meters long, with
diameter Of Is meters. 1t has also
two motors The wood used in the con.
struction Of the envelope is Canadian
pine. Herr Rettig claims that he will
effect a saving Of gas to an enormous
extent, that his envelope will not be
affected by the suns rays, since wood
is a bad conductor Of the heat He
says that his envelope will hold the gas
for weeks and that he will reach con.
siderable attitudes. Her Rettig de.
clares that he has solved the problem
OF long distance; for instance. he will
be able to cross the Atlantic.

FRICTION.
What Causes 1t and What Would Hap
pen Without 1t.


What is friction really caused by?
Why will two things in contact not
slip over each other easily? 1t is be-
cause every substance known to science
has teeth; microscopic. it is true, but
still teeth. The result, then, is OBJ
vious. II we shove a book across a
table the teeth of the book interlock
wheels do. and the push has to be
strong enough either to bend them
enough or to break them Off for the
motion to continue.
1t has actually been observed in
microscope that IL the push is only a
slight one and moves the book only
short distance. on the pressure Of the
hand being removed the book actually
jumps back to its former position.
This action is a slight bending of the
two sets of teeth. only not far enough
for them to lose their relative posi-
tions, and their elasticity on being re-
leased makes the book fly back.
1t has been shown that this friction
Is not so much between different bod
les as between bodies of the same ma
terial. One industrial application of
this is the bearings for steel aXles.
They are made of brass instead of
steel.
In some things we want as much
friction as possible and in Others as
little. The former is illustrated in the
friction between IN engine wheel and
the track, sand sometimes being pour
ed on the track to increase the friction.
The latter case is illustrated in all
bearings where rotating metal Is in
contact with stationary metal some
times ball bearings being substituted,
thus lessening the friction.
Many peculiar things would happen
If there was no friction. All screws in
wood would Immediately twist back
ward rapidly and shoot out into the
air: trains could not run save on cog
ged rails. which would probably be
necessary above as well as below, thus
having four rails instead of two; build
ings would tumble down. and new ones
could not be built unless nodded in
place like Edison's or else riveted to-
gether. People would have to wear
shoes with long spikes in them and
then have to be careful. for dirt grains
would slip over one another easily and
would act like deep sand. But one
great thing would happen-machines
would run at 100 per cent efficiency.
would give out as much energy as was
put into them. m.-Lawrence Hodges in
New York Tribune.

1t is understood that these prisoners
are for the most part so worn and
sick that they can be of no value as
soldiers and that their freedom can
therefore work no harm to the cause
of Estrada.
A letter from Mr.. Sussman to Mr.
A. ]. Oliver, via Port Limon, Costa
Rica came up on the steamship Atenas
which landed Thursday morning, con-
veying the above news and stating
that very few of the men in any of
the Estrada armies were wounded, but
that the casualties in the opposing
armies were many.
"The wounded prisoners" writes
Mr.. Sussman "have been well cared
for in Bluefields ever since the bat
ties, and it has gotten to be rather
burdensome ask caring for them.
For this reas on it was decided to let
the garrison ut the Bluff have some
thing to do, md the provisional gov
ernment in Bluefelds as we'll as the
American officials, jointly appointed
me as their representative to deliver
the men to Martinez"
Captain J Peterson, who accom-
panied Mr.. Sussman and General Gabe
Conrad when they left here for Blue
fields several weeks ago, arrived here
Thursday morning on the Atenas,
from Port Limon, where he had gone
from Bluefields.

COMBINED TO RAISE
The Price OF Fish

San Francisco, June 1O.-When the
California orange growers dumped
large quantities of fruit into the sea,
in order to maintain prices, a cry of
protest went up all over the country
which put stop to the practice.
Lately it has developed that San Fran
cisco fish companies and dealers
have adopted similar practices in or
der to hold up the public, and several
offenders have been indicted and will
be vigorously prosecuted under the
Cartwright law.
Fish are very plentiful in these wa
ters and the supply is much greater
than the demand at the present high
prices, which poor people are unable
to pay. During the recent investiga-
ton it was shown that as much as
fourteen tons of good fish were sold
daily to glue and fertilizer companies
at S. ton. while the remainder of
the catch was disposed of to consum-
ers at from fifteen to eighteen cents
q pound.
