CHANGING THE SEASONS.
In China It 10 Summer When the EN-
peror Says Il 10.

In China II 10 Summer When the EN-
psror Says Il 10.
The emperor of China has some
strange duties One Of these is the
ordering Of the seasons. 1t is summer
in America when the sun warns the
earth and not until then, but in China
it is summer when the emperor says
It is summer. As soon as the emperor
declares that summer has come every
body in China puts OF winter clothing
and arrays himself in summer garb.
no matter what his feelings on the sub
tect may be. All domestic arrange
ments are made to suit the season as
proclaimed by the emperor. although
they may not suit the individual at all.
The nearest approach to the Chinese
system OF ordering the seasons is the
practice observed in France in all pub
lie buildings. There it is winter on
and after Oct. /. Fires are then light
ed in all government Offices, and tina
employees exchange their white sum-
mer waistcoats for the thicker and
darker ones OF winter. At that date
the public libraries are closed Mt 4. and
in the streets the sellers Of toasted
chestnuts make their appearance. In
Official France 1t Is winter, no mat
ter what the weather may say and no
matter what unofhciai France may
think.-New York Press.

what they say-it is part of their
training. Therefore when Mr.. J. G..
Clarke, business man OF Westches.
ter, n. Y, answered a question about
his greatly improved health his opin
ion may be considered correct
He said Having been troubled with
bad cold and bronchitis for nearly a
year. I decided to take Vinol a short
time ago. The cough has now disap.
peared and my health is very much i'm
proved.
II certainly consider Vinol a valua
BILE remedy and should be kept in ev
cry home-until people try it they
don't know its value"
Thousands Of other intelligent PEG
pie praise Vinol simply because they
have found it just what they needed
to drive away lingering coughs and
build up their health and strength
Vinol is a delicious cod liver and
iron preparation without oil and is the
greatest strength remover for all who
are weak and run down. We guaran

PAPER MADE By WASPS.

The Way the Insects Gather Material
and FERN the Product.
Wasps are wonderful papermakers.
They make real paper. too. just as
truly as human papernakers.
A wasp flies to u flower and covers
the front Of its body with the dust Of
the blossom. This Is mSistened and
mixed with the wax which Is secreted
on the surface Ut the wasp's body.
Then the insect repairs to an old fence
or other piece Of weather worn wood
that has loose, fuzzy. fibrous surface.
The wasp rubs itself on this fibrous
matter just as 1t did on the dust OF
the flower. and layer Of such matter
adheres to the insects body and be-
comes mingled with wax in the same
way.
Then away goes the wasp to the
nest which it is building. places itself
just on the spot where it wants the
layer OF paper to lie and then works
itself into a heat by a furious motion
Of the wings. SO that the wax is mois-
tened next to the body. when the pa

1t may be adjusted properly and fas-
tened

SPIDERS AID TO SCIENCE.
Use u the Web in Surveyors and
ASrnrnmerk' IEslrumenls.


When surveyors prepare to plot off
sections Of land into squares, circles,
parallelograms and irregular areas.
they find it necessary TO place some
thing ia their instruments whereby a
joint may be fixed definitely, precisely
and within a fraction Of an inch. even
though the point at which the instru-
ment is directed be 3 mile distant.
If one observe the theodolitss en-
ployeJ by surveyors he will see across
the round field OF vision two or more
lines running from one side to the
other of the field Of view. Now these
lines do not look large even in the
theodolites. A careful examination of
the diaphragm will show that these
cross wires are nothing more nor
less than spiders threads.
1t has been said that but for the
presence Of these fine filsments of
TIE insect the surveyors instrument
would be worth little more than
scrap metal so far as its utility in
surveying is concerned. Thus does
the spider aid the work of man.
The quantity of thread of the finest
sort which a spider can produce at
one spinning is most extraordinary.
! 1t is Of record that more than four
hrndred feet has been spun by one
/ spider in its patient endeavors to
reach the ground from the frame on
which it has been placed by the dealer
When the web has been taken
from the spider it is wound on a
trame and kept for the use of the
/ instrument maker. 1t is said that
| the filaments OF the brown spider
are the finest and most uniform of
/ ALL This thread shows no kinks,
such as may be readily discovered
| in the chread of the larger spiders
and tne silkworm.
Spider.' webs have been used for
instruments of precision for a great
many generations, and no one has
sever discovered another filament so
we'll adapted 60 this purpose. Plati-
mum wire may be drawn out to the
! requisite fineness, but it is too easily
! affected by heat or cold.
In the past makers Of instruments of
| the sort mentioned have endeavored
1 10 IuAG luG AlUCs bu tue HuIEaNG VI
the lens with a diamond point 1t il
said that about once in one hundred
trials they would be able to procure
| a sharp point of diamond sufficiently
fine for the purpose, but that when
| the lines were cut across the face of
the lens it was found that they were
ragged and uneven.
Even the best grade of glass will
afiake a little in front of the point,
and these irregularities become
greatly magnified by the powerful
lens. Sharpness Of location with such
an instrument therefore becomes i'm
! possible. The spider filaments are
about one one-hundred-and-t
fifth of an inch in diameter. The
best threads are those from which the
spider builds its nest.
/ Less than an inch of the fine opaque
I thread is needed to fit up a consider
able number of instruments. The
! fitting of an instrument is delicate
task, since it is not sufficient that
the lines be got approximately in the
right positions they must be true
| to the smallest fraction of an inch
Machines capable Of marking space
to the fifty-thousandth part of an inch
are employed to place the filaments
so that the surveyor may not go
wrong.
