TRICK or THE FUNNEL.
Blowing Out a Light Through Il 10
Easy If You Know How.

Blowing Out a Light Through It Ia
Easy If You Know How.
\ TO blow out candle, using ii funnel
to blow through, seems ridiculously
easy thing to do. But ask any friend
Of yours to try it and see what hap
pens. Ten to one he will try to blow
through the cup so as to force his
breath through the narrow neck of the
funnel. AS this is not an easy thing
to do he will f1atten mouth and nose
in his endeavors. while trying TO force
his face into the small cup Then he
will reverse the funnel and blow into
the neck. and when he does not sue
ceed in extlnguishing the light lie will
blow harder and harder and finally
he will admit that he Is beaten.
In blowing through the neck of the
funnel he has directed the flnnel tli-
rectly at the light, 50 that the tlalne Is
exactly opposite to the place where the
neck of funkel joins the cup. You, Oh
taking the funnel from him, incline the
funnel 50 that its upper edge is on Il
level with the light You blow gently
The light is extinguished ut the first
puff without any Of the desperate eff
fort which your friend put forth,
IL you ponder moment you will
realize why you succeeded and why
your friend failed. His breath on en-
tering the cup or funnel spread in all
directions, and the tiny current of all
was dispersed upward and downward
so that, as he neatly leveled the center
of the funnel at the fame, no current
Of air ever reached 1t.
You. on the contrary, hold the upper
wall of the funnel on level with the
fame. The current of air started by
your breath, on reaching the edge
of the wall. streamed onward in thu

propriated. and next week Athena's

The board, of which Mrs. +. 81 Le-
Grow is the chairman, have received
encouragement in their enterprise.
They will do the litrary work within
the membership Of the board, there
by saving the expense of hiring lit-
rarian. The home of the library will
be in the room at present occupied by
Ulm's shoe shop, but until it is vaoat-
ed, the little room next door west oi
Steele's harness shop will be utilized.
In view Of the fact that the success
Of the library wholly depends on th'
number Of books taken and read, th'
mem bers of the board want ii known
that the country people have the sam'
rights as do the townspeople, AMI

BRINGING DOWN A PICTURE.
Henner Had a Way of Making the
Louvre officials See the Light.

Louvre OHiciaiS oce tHe Li9Hs
It is O pity that Henner is dead. He
had found an excellent means to force
the conservators at the Louvre to bring
down the pictures that he judged had
been placed too high. He made use
of this method in the case of "Su-
same au Balm" C"Susanna at the
Bath'0 of Tintoretto.
Twenty years ago this masterpiece
was hung in the gallery four meters
from the floor.
Henner was furious at this injustice.
But he did not permit his anger to ap-
pear. He contented himself with COM
ing from time to time in the morning
before the visitors were numerous in
the halls and in the most courteous
tone requesting the keepers to furnish
him large double ladder.
The keepers referred the matter to
the conservators, saying that this lad
der was asked by NJ. Henner, and they
were impressed with the necessity OF
responding to the wish OF the old mas
ter.
Then he placed the ladder before su-
zanna. mounted the steps slowly and
when at the top, remainedia quarter
of an hour absorbed in the contempla'
ton Of the marvellous painting.
He then descended as phlegmatlcaiiy
and. with a fine smile, said in his AL
satan jargon: 'Merci pour pejelle- Je
suis dres content" c'rhanks for tho
ladder. am much pleasedFD
He went through this mnneuver hall
a dozen times ut intervals.

l grew enthusiastic over my new
idea and began making preparations
to make a picture in color, using the
crude materials there at hand in the
wilderness. l set to work testing the
stains and colors of roots, bark ana
berries, and proved conclusiVely mat

Then l started experimenting with
papermaking. BY grinding pieces OF
soft wood against stone under water
in a birch bark dish a pulp was pro-
duced, of which l made small sheets.
Draining the water from the pulp, l
spread it evenly on piece of smooth
birch bark and rolled all the water out
of il with a round stick. l then placed
il in the sun to dry and as the mois-
ture was absorbed the crude sheet OF
paper released itself from the bark.
While lacked the pressure OF heavy
rolls to harden this paper, l was able
to make tests on its surface with COL
ors. The pure juice Of berries is deep
and sticky. BY filling this with water
IL becomes transparent and pleasing in
color, blending perfectly with the more
subdued tones Of the bark and roots.

SEVENTY-FIFTH NSTAllMENT.
Editorial Correspondence.

Camp Davis, Richmond. Va. Friday
Morning, June IA, 1861.
Dear Enquirer:-For the last week
or ten days, the Virginia papers have
been filled with accounts Of skirmishes
battles and victories; for victory has
perched upon our broad barred banner
in every instance. Nothing could sur
pass in interest the stirring events
transpiring around us now, and looked
for every day.
In the battle Of Phillippa, full ac-
counts Of which you must have ere
this seen, 1900 Of our men were sur
prised by 5000; yet, after retreating
two miles to favorable position, our
troops faced about and thrice repulsed
the enemy. This victory together with
the concentration Of Virginia troops
in the western part of the state-be-
yond Beauregards district-will tend
to behead the wheeling treason. Gov.
Wise is anXiously called for as the
man who can do more with and for the
people than Beauregard. himself; and
we learn that his legion is repairing
thither now. Company F. Of Rich
mond who were in the engagement in
Acquia Creek, on a furlough to this
city for a few days, left, we believe
this morning, for White Sulphur
Springs. Colonel Bacon's and Col
