My History Hero,

My favorite history hero is Lincoln. Although not a hero in battle. for he took part in none, yet he was a hero in his own way
 Of course, no one has the same opinion IS another. so one might choose Washington, another Napoleon. and someone else would have still an other person in mind who to them was the greatest hero of all
 Washington was a great man. great CT than Lincoln in some respects. He carried on great war and came out victorious. He then started a nation too that ended in prosperity
 Lincoln came in as president lon Q, after this to straighten out a tangle in the nation Washington had started. He did his work well and in the end the two sections were united as before the trouble commenced.
 But that doesn't tell why I admire Lincoln more than anyone else. He began poor and went higher in the end than anyone else in the United States, at least. He lived more recent " than Washington and is in that way nearer to us, In his pictures he Is no different in appearance than as though he lived in these times. while Washington in his queer clothes and wig is like nothing we see nowadays.
 don't doubt someone else could write of Washington and find as many reasons for liking him more than Lin- coin as 1 have in just the opposite.

The Painted Ton.

Tops are generally very common indeed on the sandy parts Of the shore. You cannot possibly mistake their shells for those of anys other creatures. for they are cone shaped, looking very much like rather hattened sugar loayes and are generally very beautifully col ored. So pretty are they, indeed that they are sometimes strung together and worn as necklaces, or used for ornamenting ladies dresses
 The painted top is one of the most beautiful of all these shells. for it is covered all over with spots and streaks and blotches of scarlet, and crimson. and pink, and purrle, and white. and blue, and yellow. But all this lovely colOring is only on the outer coat of the shell which is very easily chipped off. The consequence is that these shells are very Often damaged bv he- ing tossed to and fro by the waves and though you may often find twen- ty or thirty in the course of a morn ing, not more than two or three, per haps will be quite uniniured.
 Tops are very useful creatures to have alive in an aquarium, for thay keep the glass sides clean from the tiny green weeds which so quickly grow upon them. They do this by means of their tooth ribbons. and voil may see them crawling about on the glass walls and moving down the weeds, just as a gardener cuts the grass on the lawn with his scythe.

 tnelr nrSt summer, and all were anx-
 1ous to have a good summer of it.
 A social had been given in the win Ter and enough had been taken in to
 buy the camp fixtures and two large
 wall tents.
 About two miles up the river there
 was a small island. This was selected
 TOT the camp, and a good spot 1t was.
 On the 10th of June the boys put
 their tents up and got the camp ready; after carting all the things up the river
 in boats That night they slept in
 the tents, and next day the camp was nxed up in fine shape. There was good fishing near by; the boys all liked to swim and the camp was near fine swimming hole. Bats and balls there were in plenty, and ball team was formed from the best material The boys had swim ming contests, and many trips around the island in boats were made. ! Several of the boys got up an eXpe- dition to go to Black Rock Island and ] early one morning started out. They
 rowed to the island and then ate a lunch they had taken along; after eat ing they went up the large hill: when they reached it's summit they could see plainly their little camp. Just as they were about to go down one of the smaller boys exclaimed: Whats in our camp down there?' InlS made the other DOyS LOOK up, they could see what looked like a { large bear in the camp. All the boys ran down the hill at 1 breakneck speed. The boats were soon showed off and rowed as speedily as possible to the camp. They found the food had been disturbed a little and the water bucket was entirely empty After a careful search they found the rum

UNCLE JEDs TALK TO WIDE.
 AWAkES.

l am going to tell you Wide Awakes something about balloons and their uses. Because airships have come into use balloons have not wholly gone out of use, and are not likely to.
 Perhaps you do not know balloons are used to sound the afr just as lead weights are used to sound the depths of the sea
 The earth is enclosed in an atmo- sphere and outside of that nothing earthly can pass. The sea is it's deep est parts in 5 1-2 miles deep. but no one knows exactly the height of tbs atmosphere.
 By the use of balloons it has been learned that the atmosphere is more than four times the depth of the deep est part of the ocean.
 It is not such a great while ago that a sounding balloon was sent up in Italy, and it did not collapse until it was 23 miles above the earth; the greatest height reached by such a ball. loon in this country was a little. less than 19 miles.
 Attached to these sounding balloons is a little machine called meteoro- graph which registers and records the altitude, the temperature, the humidity and the velocity of the wind, and this Is how they learn that as you go up In the air toward the sun it grows colder, and at six miles it is as cold as the polar regions, 30 or 40 degrees below zero. The lowest temperature during the highest flight was over 70 degrees below zero at 12 1-2 miles high.
 It Is the friction of the rays of the sun striking the earth which heats up the atmosphere close to the ground and makes the earth productive.
 Men cannot live over five miles high, the cold is so intense and the air so changed.
 Men have been up five miles in ball looms. but two miles is the highest point yet reached in afrships. although by the aid of inventions 1t is expected man will by and by go much higher in these airships than they have ever been able to go in balloons.

A Rear Story.

Tom Smith and Frank Peabody planned to go camping for a day They got their lunch ready and started They put their lunch in the hollow ol tree, instead of carrying it around while they explored the woods.
 At length they said it was dinner time. But you ask:
 How did they know it was dinner time if they didn't have a watch?s
 This is their answer: We can tell time by the sum-"
 But l think their stomachs told them, don't you?
 They started back to the tree where they left their lunch. When they got there, to their surprise the lunch was gone, but bear was there. They were both much frightened. and at last when they could speak. Tommy said: Come let us go to the hunters home which we saw yesterday"
 Luck was with them They found the place and the old hunter was there, too. He gave them something to eat. Afterwards they showed him the bear. which had fallen asleep be- heath the tree, and he shot it.
 When the lads reached home all their playfellows wanted to hear their adventure in the woods, so they were told this story.
 If Tom and Frank wanted to grat- ify their listeners they would . have to tell it to them more than ten times for they found much amusement in the story

Why Tigers Can't Climb.

The tale is of the Tiger and his Aunt,
 who is the Cat. They dwelt among the jungles in the
 shade of Ararat, The Cat was very clever, but the Tiger
 he was slow; He couldn't catch the Nighau or the
 heavy Buffalo; His claws were long and pointed, but
 his wit was short and blunt He begged his wise Relation to in

 messy forest couch And this,' she said, my Nephew, is
 the proper way to crouch" She hurled through the shadows like
 a missile from a sling; And that. my loving Nephew is the
 only way to spring." Oh, hungry was the Nephew. and the
 Aunt was sleek and plump: The Tiger at his Teacher made his first
 apprentice jump; He did it very ably. but the Fuss, more
 quick than he. Escaped his clutching talons and ran
 up a cedar tree. To purr upon the Snarler from the bough on which she sat. How glad l am. my Nephew, that I
 didn't teach you thati" And, since that curtailed lesson in the
 rudiments of crime No enterprising Tiger has discovered
 how to climb.

The Gaper.

This is a sheufsh which lives in burrows in the sandy mud. It is called the "gaper" because the shells are always open at the top, just as if the animal were yawning, or gaping. Through this opening the siphon tubes are used in breathing, just like those of the cutie, and are enclosed in a kind of Ieathery case, which the ami mai can stretch out or draw back at will so that when it is lying at the bottom of it's burrow it can keep the tips of the siphOn tubes just above the surface of the mud. and so draw water down to it's giHs quite easily.
 On some parts of the coast gapers are used as food Some fishermen call them "old maids" Some of the sea birds are very fond of them.
 In the far north millions and mil lions of them are devoured by wal ruses, and also by Arctic foxes, which prowl about the shore in search of them every day when the tide goes down.

What the Rafe Did

Many years ago. at an exposition in France. the farmers of Switzerland exhibited a large Swiss cheese. It took the milk of hundreds of cows 10 make it. and it was so heavy that it required q large truck drawn by six teen horses to carry it. The farmers had directed that when the exhibition was over, the cheese was to be dis tributed among the poor of Paris.
 The men were getting it up when a great crash was heard. What could have happened? The cheese was broken and was lying on the ground.
 While the exposition was going on the rats had eaten the inside of it and only the shell remained.

 Mabel had run to the nearest farm house, a half mile off, and had told the people that the cows we had seen were without any water.
 So they telephoned to the owner of the cows and told him about it. Then the farmer came and drove the cows into the nearby pasture where the cows got water.
 Mabel came home two hours later and told us what she had done. and said she could not see the cows suffer for the want of water.
