An Optical illusion.

An interesting optical experiment may be made with the ordinary incan- descent light Gaze steadily at the light for few seconds. then suddenly exting,,ish it. The experiment. is best performed in very dark room. In about half q minute you will see the perfect image of the light. with tho fine strands of wire plainly visible. It will be red at first. In few minutes it will turn purple and then q bright blue Later it will apparently move to the right As you turn your gaze it will continue moving to the right. If you keep yonr gaze fixed. it will come back It is surprising how long the illusion will last It will be soon for fully five minutes. perhaps longer. and if you turn on tbe light and look away from it you will see the old image for several minutes. though more faintly than in the darkness 15

Skilled Archers.

In the days when buffalo ran in vast herds on the western plains there were Indians who. while riding at a gallop. could send an arrow through buffalo's body. Remarkable as this feat was. yet it did not equal that reached by ths archers of ancient times. It is of rec. drd that the MacRaes of Gairlock. Scot land. were such skil;ful archers that they could hit mat at distance of 300 yards. In 1794 the Turkish ambas- sador at London shot an arrow in a field near that capital 415 yards against the wind and 4S2 yards with the wind. This was the greatest per formance of modern days. but a pillar standing on q plain near Constantine Rle recorded shots ranging up to 800 yards Sir Robert Ainslie. British am- bassador to the sublime porte. records that in 179S he was present when the sulthn shot an arrow 972 yards.-Field 4nl Farm.

The Power oi Water.

A sure thi ing wager sprung on curi
 ous visitors by the engineers of some
 of the big water power projects of the
 far west is that q 200 pound man. swinging four pound aX with all his might. cannot make a dent in the water as it emerges from the nozzle at the power house. Burying an ax in q stream of water looks like child'S play, and the average 2OO pound visitor is likely to bite. He invariably loses. So great is the velocity of the water emerging from the nozzle i'll these up 10 date power plants that an hX. no matter how keen an edge it may have. is whirlcd from the hands of the Stren- uous aXman at the instant of contact with the water The water travels "ee pressure of about 800 pounds to the square inch in many instances. and no power on earth can turn it off at the nozzle once it gains momentum. It has the same effect on ones fingers as q rough emery wheel and will shave a plank with the nicety of q razor edged plane. When. as frequently happens, it is necessary to shut down power plant operated by one of these streams the nozzle is deflected by means of q powerful set of gears.---Chicago Rec ord-EIerald.

He Was old EnouQ1.

The late Homer Lea. who did so much to organize the army of the Chi nese republic. was a man who saw little actual service in spite of his title of general. He was fond of relating the story of his first military con- mand. by which he received this pre- fix. He was then q young man whose only claim to military distinction was a book Knowledge of the theory of warfare It was said of him that he knew every detail of all Napoleon's battles. Upon his arrival in China he went to the taotai of Canton and asked that hc be made general of all the troops in the province. Lea's youth and his fig,lre-f0r he was q hnncb- back did not combine to make much of an impression upon the astute old Chinese official.
