A Fish Aids Science.

There appears to be no limit to sci
entitic curiosity. especially in Ger
many. Not long ago scientist Of
Leipzig, wishing to ascertain whether
fish are warmer than the water they
live in stuck a needle connected with
a thermoelectric circuit into a living
fish in an aquarium. The needle formed
one element of the circuit, while the
other element was immersed in the
same water that contained the fish.
The latter was not seriously injured by
the needle and quickly became indif-
ferent to 1t. Then as the fish swan
about. carrying the needle, the ingen-
ious savant closed the circuit and kept
watch of the galvanometer. 1t show
ed no detection whatever, from which
he concluded that the fish and the
water were precisely equal in tempera-
ture, for had either been warmer than
the other a current would have been
generated in the circuit.-Chicago Rec
rd-Herald.

Something Blind.

In one of the crowded streets of
New York beggar was in the habit
of taking his stand every day and APP
pealing to the charity of the passers-
by. BY means of short string he
held a dog. around the neck of which
card was fastened with the words,
81 Am Blind" A very kind old gen
tleman. who had been in the habit Of
dropping penny into the beggars
hat, passed rapidly one morning with
out doing so. Instantly the beggar
rushed after him and asked for the
penny to be given, as usual. The gen
tleman. turning in surprise. said;
"Why, thought you were blindT'
ooh. no. sir!' was the cool reply.
at is the dog that is blind, as the
card says"

Timber in Oregon Doomed

For years there has beena feeling of
antagonism by the sheepmen and many
stockmen for the national reserves and
the forest supervisors, says the Pacific
Monthly. This animosity bids fair to
be entirely wiped out by the recon-
mendations of the forest reserve Off
GERS, who are urgently recommending
the utilization of the range under prop
er grazing regulations. The forest
officials concede that the ungrazed for
est reserve, with its dry grass and
other heritage, gives material for the
flames, and makes the forest fires fierc-
err and more destructive than if the
land had been grazed.
The national forest administration is
endeavoring to open all available ranges
to the fullest use of the stockmen,
consistent with the protection Of forest
growth and water supply; in other
words to have each range properly
grazed but not overgrazed. They plan
to open such reserves as the Okla
hogan, the Chelan and the Colville to
stock, by the construction of driyeways
and the building Of roads and trails to
make this range available to the sur
rounding stockmen.

considerably from time to time.

TELESCOPE LENSES.

The Small Glass Ma5nifies the Picture
Made by the Large One.
Peop.p sometimes wonder why tele-
scope has two glasses. one at the big
end aul one at the little end, and they
waut to know the difference. The glass
at tie big end is to gather light. 1t
is simply a big eye If it is hundred
times bigger than the eye in your head
it will gather a hundred times more
light 1t gathers the rays of light com
ing from Il star and bends them all into
a common meeting point called TO
Gus. which is a picture of the star.
You can look at this picture of the star
with your naked eye If you like. But
you can. see it better and examine ii
more closely if you look at it with a
small magnifying glass. And this is
the glass at the small end of the tele-
scope. 1t magnfies the picture made
by the big glass at the other end of the
instrument. All telescopes are built on
this principle. Sir William Herschel
was the first to arrange matters a lit
die differently. He took away the
glass from the big end and admitted
the rays coming straight into the tube
in parallel lines. Then at the bottom
of the big tube he placed bright con
cave mirror made of FURNISHED metal.
When the entering rays fell upon this
mirror they were again bent to a point
called focus. which was the picture
of the star. To look at this picture he
had to place the little magnifying glass
at the side of the tube because the
mirror had stopped up its lower end

Everyone noticed how the Ath-

game for him and the answer
cleared the situation:
I'VE couldn't keep our bats off
the ball. We knew everything he

the ball safe. We've got them
