How Iona Your Nails Grow.

The growth Of an average finger nail
is about one thirty-second Of an inch
q week. or nearly one and one-half
inches in Il year, so those aristocratic
Chinese who proudly exhibit nails six
to eight inches in length must have
refrained from cutting them ut least
four to six years. Finger nails grow
faster in the summer than in winter.
The nail on the middle finger grows
faster than any Of the others, and that
Of the thumb Is slowest in growth.
The nails Of the right hand grow fast
er than those Of the left. A nail is
supposed to reach its full growth in
about four and a half months. and at
this rate man seventy years old
would have renewed his nails 262
times. On each finger he would have
grown nine feet Of nail. or on all his
fingers and thumbs no less than ninety
feet Of nail.-St. Louis Republic.

To Start n 1ioht Screw.

Lots Of folks have tried to remove
stubborn screw from piece Of wood.
a screw that won't bulge at all. and
have in the end given it up as bad
job. Well. If such a thing occurs again
don't give it up. don't lose your temper
or exert yourself. but try this recipe
for removing the screw: Heat a poker
red hot and then hold it against the
screw head for a little while: wait a
few minutes for the screw to cool
down. when it will be found that the
screw can be removed quite easily
with the same screwdriver that just
previously would not perform the
work. The explanation is quite sim
pie. The red hot poker heats the screw.
and the screw expands and makes
the hole it is in just wee bit bigger.
The screw then cools down and re-
sumes its original size. leaving the
hole in the wood size too large-and
there vor are.-New York Sun.

High Explosives.
The idea is very general that smoke
less powder in being practically

but AS matter Of fact its smokeless
feature is incidental and was an &C
citient
When the idea of modern long range
guns was conceived it was at once ap-
parent that the cid black powder lack

experiments were made with various
chemicals to procure u powder OF high
explosive properties. and this was ut
last accomplished
much to the surprise Of every one It
WAS found that practically no smoke
followed the explosion. though this
could Of course have been predicted
had the question ever arisen. Tho

Is due mainly to the quantity Of char

SQUARlNG THE CIRCLE.
An Ancient Problem That Has Turned
Many Brains Dizzy.

Many Brains Dizzy.
The Oldest Of problems Is that Of
squaring the CIRCLE. e., Of telling the
precise length of the side Of a square
whose area will equal the area Of a
given circle.
The first attempt we know of was
made 500 years before the exodus of
the Jews. Since ut least 1900 B. c.
Chinese brains have turned dizzy over
it. The oldest mathematical book in
the world-written about 1000 B. c.,
by Ahmes. scribe to an Egyptian king.
and now resting in the British mu-
seum-pretends to solve it, but it
IDENTIFY avoids the subject.
Books have been written to prove
that it is impossible, others to prove
the impossibility Of proving its i'm
possibility, others again to prove the
impossibility of proving its possibility.
One scientist, a professor Of Zurich,
adopted some fifty years ago a rather
original method Of tackling the prob
lem. He divided the floor Of great
loft into thousands Of small squares
and spent his days in solemnly throw
Ing needles about and noting the mum.
Der Of times they fell clear Of the
.halk lines, but it did not help him
much.
The important ratio which would set.
lie the question has been carried to

Havoc Of tho Hide Hunters.


In 1881 the buffalo hide hunters
shipped $1,000 buffalo hides to the
east. The next year the number was
100000 and in 1888 10000. Only 800
were reported in 1884, and after that
there was none at all. In 1888 Sitting
Bull and his band, with some white
hunters, killed the last 10000 of the
northern herd. The last survivors,
twenty-eight in number, were killed
on the Big Porcupine in 1886 and were
mounted for the National museum.
With that the wild buffalo of North
America practically ceased to exist
except for a few in the Yellowstone
National park and a handful in the
wilds of Atha basca.-Outing.
