The Wagon Wheel Paradox.

A very interesting paradox is the one
concerning an ordinary wagon wheel,
which is solid and rigid, yet. when fas-
tened on its axle on wagon. when the
wagon moves part of the circumfer-
ence of the wheel which is in contact
with the ground is for an instant at
absolute rest, while the point directly
perpendicular to it is flying along at u
high rate of speed. The two points
horizontal with the center of the wheel
are travelling pretty fast, but only half
as fast as the topmost point. and as
the up going horizontal point Increases
in speed the down going one slows up
until it is ut rest for moment when
in contact with the ground. Yet the
wheel is one solid piece and there are
only two points going at the same rate
Of speed at the same time. Yet if the
wheel is taken off the axle and rolled
down an incline every point Of the cir
cumference moves at the same rate OF
speed.

Animals Attack the Lunus.

Watch any flesh eating animal when
it Is attacking its prey OF watch two
animals having q fight to the death.
You will notice one remarkable fact.
and that Is that they strike for the
lungs. Most people, Of course, are
we'll aware where their own lungs are,
but they haven't the slightest idea
about any other lungs. Animals in
stinctively know. however, the posi-
ton of the lungs of almost every 9th
err animal When tiger or a lion at
tacks a man it does its best to get
just below the shoulder blades. If 1t
strikes without warning you will al
ways find that its powerful paws have
torn right through to the lungs. A
cat has just the same instinct. 1t
goes for the lungs-the vital spot
Just the same as it's bigger brothers.
Watch it stalk a sparrow and you will
see how cleverly 1t maneuvers so as
to get behind the unfortunate bird
and pounce on its back, where the
lungs are.-London Graphic

No Parallels In Nature.

The wise men say there are no paral"
lels in nature, that no one thing in the
wide universe exactly mates and
matches any other one thing, that each
cloud has differed from every other
cloud form in any hour Of the day and
night or day or yesterday, and so on
back through the forgotten centuries,
and no two leaves In form, color or
texture lift the same faces to the sun
on any day Of the millions of years;
that no wave on any beach curves and
falls as any wave has curved and fall
len before, not since this planet cooled.
And so it is with the whirls and the
crystals Of driving snow, with the sand
and splash Of rain and so, too, with the
fight of birds, the dash and tumble OF
the restless brook and the roar of law
less thunder and the cry Of birds.-F.

Waves and Surf.

Long and oscillatory waves run by
gravity, the first agitating the water to
nearly the same amount at all depths,
while the chief disturbance due to the
Inter confines itself to the upper lay
ers Of the water. These oscillatory
waves, the most typical example Of
which is perhaps furnished by the
swell" or regular rolling waves
which continue to run In deep water
after a storm, will break on a shelving
shore when their height is about equal
to the depth Of water When the depth
is sufficient to allow the oscillations to
proceed unimpeded no progressive mo-
ton takes place, each column being
kept in its place by the pressure OF
surrounding columns. If, however
free oscillation is prevented, as by the
interposition of rock or by the shelly
ing Of the shore, the columns In the
deep water are not balanced by those
in the shallower, and thus they acquire
progressive motion and form break
ers." For this reason waves always
break against the shore. whatever is
the direction of the wind.

Shooting tho Seal.

Seals are caught in variety Of ways,
but they are very shy creatures and the
greatest caution must be exercised IN
approaching them. Even when they
have been struck by harpoon or rifle
bullet the blow must be fatal and death
instantaneous, or the animal will drop
into its hole in the ice and be seen no
more. Indeed, the fact that seal sell
dom moves far from its hole adds con-
siderably to the hunters difficulties.
The plan usually adopted by Eskimo
hunters is to build up a kind of tent
sledge. The sides and front are mask
ed with bearskin, the top with the pelt
of a hare. The native hides within this
novel tent and inch by inch propels
himself over the ice till he is near his
quarry. The rifle with which he Stays
his seal is brought into use through a
loophole in the sledge covering.

There are always three things up
permost in the Bedouins mind-his
gun, his Morse and his wives. The
most modern arms Of precision have
replaced the primitive spear which,
until few years ago, was the usual
weapon. The Bedouin is quick to real
lie the efficiency Of modern weapons
and soon becomes an expert marks
man. So much has the spear fallen
put of favor that the bearer Of one
would be ridiculed in his own camp.
Such pride has the Bedouin in his
weapons that even in his leisure hours
he sits fully armed, examining and
cleaning each piece in turn, making
himself accustomed to carrying their
weight. No youth considers himself a
man until he has fully equipped him.
self. A sword is much esteemed, but
generally only as an heirloom and as
giving distinction to the bearer. There
are to- be found many excellent blades
among the sheiks, some with a his
tory of hundreds Of years, having been
handed down from father to son.

An Expensive Luxury.

Richard Harding Davis, who knows
South America intimately, told at
luncheon at the Philadelphia club a
South American story.

said, sis very elegant and charming,
but in the past the young men were
too prone to accost the beautiful wom-
Ell shopping and promenading there.
Accordingly a law was passed which
imposed a fine of $50 ON any one who
should dare to accost or annoy in the
slightest degree any lady in Buenos
Aires

Blue Balloons.

In case you ever feel tempted to buy
a balloon don't buy blue one. Red
ones are the best. There is q scientific
reason why. According to the re-
searches Of M. neynaud, caoutchouc is
strongly attracted by the ultra violet
rays from the mercury vapor lamp
with quartz tube. which IS a power
full source of such rays This fact has
Q practical bearing in connection with
balloon envelopes, which are treated
with caoutchouc Aeronauts are ia
miliar with the discovery that the en-
yelopes suffer during ascensions, and
this is explained by the greater effect
of ultra violet rays at high attitudes.
Experiment had already led to using
yellow coloring matter on the envel-
opes, and red balloons are sometimes
seen, but never blue or violet. M.
Reynaud considers that red is the best
color to use. as 1t not only absorbs the
ultra violet rays. but also the blue
rays. and these last are likely to share
IN the bad action of the suns rays upon
balloons.-New York World.

Thu influence of Flowers.

Centuries ago great, elaborate books
were written about flowers, and the
kinds even then were many and some
of the forms were marvellous. Wor-
ship and praise have centered about
flowers and garlands rather than about
the fruits that we eat. This marks
them to have been considered as OF
the higher things. All holy and great
occasions, need them If the occasions
are complete. Not n soul but responds
to blossoms even though he knows 1t
not. No soul passes lily in blow, an
apple orchard in May, clover field

Our Unknown World.

Despite the marvellous advance OF
exploration in various parts OF the
globe. an estimate as submitted by
member of the Royal Geographical
society in London shows that no less
than 2O,00O,OOO square miles of the
earth's surface yet remain unexplored.
The largest UNEMPLOYED area is said to
be that in Africa-6, 100000 miles-but
even North America contains 100000
square miles of virgin territory. 1t is
surprising to learn that there are three
times as much land awaiting the foot
of the pioneer in North America as in
South America.-Harper's-

Rock Salt Discovered BY Accident.

The great rock salt deposits of Louis
lana were discovered by accident in
May, 1862. Salt was very scarce at
that time, and the proprietor Of the
Islands silt works, John Marsh Avery,
determined to profit by 1t. With this
end in view he commenced to deepen
his wells. One negro workman, after
going down sixteen feet. came to Mr..
Avery with the news that he had
struck q sunken log. and could pro-
coed no further. Mr.. Avery inyestigat-
ed and found not log, but the great
rock salt deposit that has made Louis
lana famous throughout the country.
The discovery did not come altogether
as a surprise, as Thomassy had pre-
dicted that a great rock salt deposit
would one day be discovered in each of
the five Gulf islands. and perhaps in
other portions of the state. Since the
close of the war, rock salt has been
an important. contributing factor in the
mineral wealth of the state.-National
