cally changes its figure, being some
times an oblate spheroid, like the
earth, with It's equatorial diameter ex-
ceeding the polar, and sometimes a
probate spheroid. having a greater
polar than equatorial diameter.
His idea is that the solar globe Is
to be regarded as vibrating body,

average slightly in excess of the po-
lar, but changing at certain times 30
that the ratio OF the two diameters Ia

woman S Home Companion tIiyeS Prac-
tical Hints On( the Calls We Cannot
We'll Avoid.
In a pr4ctlcal talk on every
day etiqtette IN the November
Woma9's Home Companion the
authof records the calls that one
musy positively make:
Certain stated calls must be
made. The call at least once a
Year upon those on your calling
fist; the call after having been en-.
tertained at dinner or luncheon,
or at an evening entertainment;
the call Of cong ratulatlon after a
marriage, or a birth; the call of
coincidence upon those IN sorrow;
the call of inquiry at the house Of
illness; the call upon the new
comers into your nelghborhood,
or upon a stranger who has been
introduced to you by a friend;
the return call, when a first call
has been made upon you,-none
OF these can be evaded. A first
call should be returned within a
week, or at the longest a fort
night; a dinner call, or, in fact,
any others of those named, should
be paid promptly.
eff two women call together,
1t Is the older of the two who
makes the signal for departure
by rising or giving a significant
glance to her companion.
"rhere is no need for great
formalty of conduct In calling.
The well-bred women who is at
ease in her own house need have
10 fear OF appearing awkward in
the house of another. To come IN
quietly after leaving her card at
the door; to speak, first of all, to
her hostess, then to recognize the
other persons present; to chat
with those nearest the seat she
has taken, avoiding topics which
might lead to argument or discus
sion; to take her cup of tea and
bit of cake or sandwich; to leave
at the end of twenty minutes, or
half an hour after shaking hands
with her hostess, and bowing
farewell to the others present,
here is all that constitutes a
call. A little familiarity robs
calling OF any terrors 1t may pos
sess for the bashful, or for those
unaccustomed to society; and
who learns it is just the oldtime
afternoon visit with a new
name"

This makes the ends in a level or
wedge shape two feet ten inches
wide at the top and two feet four
inches wide at the bottom. These
are nailed inside the two sides. and
II you have used one-inch lumber you
have the correct width, three feet
wide at top and two feet six inches at
the bottom.
In constructing the tank lay a
foundation of small stone covered
with concrete grout This should be
from four inches to six inches, depend
ing on the soil. Then set your mold
upon this, leaving out the core form
at place.
Now fiji this with concrete, tamped

poses three inches would do.
Place the inside form of core in
position and fill to the top with con-

At the afternoon session of the
Prohibition convention the delegates,
among whom the women greatly pre-
dominated, were extremely enthusias-
tic over the cold water issues; and
every resolution in furtherance or
the prohibition cause was upheld ag-
gresslvely and unanimously.
Toward the end of the session the
speaker Of the day was announced.
This gentleman had recently return
ed from abroad, where he had been
recuperating from his arduous work
in the behalf of Temperance. Smil'
ingly acknowledging his tumultuous
reception, this speaker at once plung-
ed into the pleasant events of his
foreign trip.
In the midst of this interesting
narration, a lady delegate from a
rural district sprung to her feet, her
eyes blazing.
81 protest against such goings on
as this!" she cried, glarlng at the
narrator. "It's a shame. /"
"Sit down."
"Let him proceed"
81 won't sit down." declared the
irate delegate, sending scornful
glance at her fellow members. 81 say
it's shame, a disgrace and deplor-
able thing for that man, who poses
as an apostle of Temperance and a
hater of ginships, to stand up there
and deliberately tell us that on his
way across the Atlantic he spent
many delightful evenings In the
ships saloon!"-Brooklyn Life.

lluuld CRYSTALS.

When the discovery of liquid
crystals was announced some twenty
years ago, many men of science were
very sceptical on the subject, and
thought that some error must have
been made by the discoverer, Profess
sor Lehman. It was pointed out that
the very name '1iquid crystal" was
self-contradictory Later. the discov-
erer continued and extended the study
OF these crystals, the genuineness OF
which he seems to have established.
although the molecular structure OF
the peculiar liquids experimental
with is not clearly understood. The
facts appear to be that certain chemi-
cal liquids at particular temperatures
exhibit the Characteristic crystalline
properties OF double refraction and
dichroism. But exceedingly small dis
turbing forces suffice to deform the
liquid crystals, owing to their slight
rigidity.
