Not only may they be taken as in

that pledges are received But the
balls do not indicate what they really
are. They are the arms Of the Medici
family. Whoever has visited Florence
will recall the three balls alternated
with the red lilies. But how comes it
that the decorations Of the Tuscan pal

The explanation is not difficult If we

Friiolss and TortiIlas the Main Diet Of
the Poor.
People at home in the ''srates" may
think the food Of the Mexicans mea-
ger. 1t is comprised chiefly of frijoles
and tortillas, supplemented by the
fruit of the cactus when in season.
Tortillas are thin little cakes made
Of corn boiled with lime, and these
serve as the chief food. Every house
has a metate, a sort of stone trough.
which rests on the ground, and on
this the corn Is crushed to paste
and then patted into thin round cakes
and tossed on clay griddle to cook.
Don't think as you ride down the
street that in every house child is
being spanked-it is only the patting
sound made by the women as they
deftly shape the tortillas in their
hands.
The lime in which the corn is sof
tened Is said to account for the very
strong white teeth of the natives.
Frijoles are, Of course, beans and
after being boiled long time With
onions, chilli and other savory bits are
put into boiling lard for their final
flavor. Knives and forks are not need
ed where tortilla can be folded in
the middle and used as scoop for the
beans. These two articles of food
form almost the entire diet Of the
poor.
All food is very hot, from the chill

Winter and Summer Sun.

The sun Is nearer to the earth III
winter than it is In summer. 1t is not
distance that determines the amount
Of heat that we got from the sun. but
the length Of time the sun is above
the horizon and the direction In which
his rays strike us. In summer. al
though much farther from us, the sun
Is daily above the horizon much longer
than when he Is nearest. at the winter
solstice and this continued action pro-
duces the summer heat In addition
to this is to be reckoned the fact that
in summer the force Of the suns rays
Is more perpendicular to the earth's
surface. while in the winter they are
oblique. In the case of the perpendic-
ular ray the heat stays. while in that
Of the oblique ray it ''glances off," SO

RATS OF GNAT EGGS.
Their Floating illustrates . Curious
Property Of Water.

Property Of Water.
Many simple experiments show that
the surface Of water possesses a prop
erty which causes it to resist the pas
sage Of bodies either from above or be.
low. This is true not only Of soapy
water. but of the cleanest and purest
water as well. A sheet Of fine gauze
tends to doat because, its weight be-
ing widely distributed, each Of the nu-
merous separate wires is resisted by
the surface film SO that the water can.
not readily pass through the meshes.
Insects and plants utilize this fact
in many interesting ways. Some
water plants whose leaves float on
the water have very simple con.
tr1vance to keep the upper surfaces Of
the leaves dry. This consists Of Z
great number Of minute hairs covering
the tops Of the leaves. Water cannot
penetrate among these hairs even
when the leaves are forced down be-
meath the surface.
The little RATS Of eggs that gnats
set affoat on the water are kept from
sinking and from being upset through
this same principle. The tiny eggs
have their points all upward. and th"y
are glued together so closely th":.
while there is open space all around
the point of each egg, yet the width OF
these spaces is so slight that water
cannot readily pass through. You may
again and again upset such an egg
raft, but 1t will right itself every time.
and the upper surface will remain dry.
