DALTON'S EXPERIMENT.
Showing What Genius Can Do With
 Crude Apparatus.

Crude Apparatus.
 The great English chemist Dalton was schoolteacher. He worked with out a laboratory and with crude ap- paratus, mostly made by himself from simple materials. Here is an example described in his own words:
 "Took an ale glass of conical fig ure, two and a half inches i'll diameter and three inches deep; filled it with water that had been standing in the room and consequently of the tcmpcra- ture of the air nearly; put the bulb of the thermometer to the bottom of the glass. the scale being out of the water. Then. having marked the temperature, I put the redhot tip of the poker half an inch deep in the water, holding it there steadily for half q minute. and as soon as it was withdrawn l dipped the bulb of sensible thermometer into the water. when it rose in few seconds to 1SO degrees"
 He then determined the temperature of the water at the bottom after five minutes. after twenty minutes and aft CT an hour and found that 1t rose grad ually from 47 to 52 degrees This sim pie experiment proved that water has the power to conduct heat, which had been denied by no less an authority than Rumford-Yonth's Companion.

TRICK OF THE FUNNEL.
Blowing Out Light Through It is
 Easy if You Know How.

To blow out a candle, using funnel to blow through, seems ridiculously easy thing to do. Bnt 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 fiatten 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 extinguishing the light he 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 funnel di rectly at the light, so that the flame is exactly opposite to the place where the neck of funnel joins the cup. You, OH taking the funnel from him, incline the funnel SD that its upper edge is on Il level with the light. You blow gently The light Is extinguished at the first puff without any of the desperate ef- fort which your friend put forth.
 If you ponder q 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 air was dispersed upward and downward, so that, as re neatly leveled the center of the funnel at the flame, no current of air ever reached it.
 You. on the contrary, hold the upper wall of the funnel on a level with the flame. The current of air started by of the wall. streamed onward in the direction given it by the restraining wall and on reaching the flame snuffed it Out.-Boston American.

BRINGING DOWN A PICTURE.

Poetry and Punctuation.

In his poem "Narcissus" Robert Bridges, the English poet laureate. has banished the comma entirely. so that a procession of adjectives may be talk en, at the readers option, as separate qualities or as qualifying each other. Thus one may call his hero almighty wOndrous" or regard him as being both. Mir. Bridges principles of pune tuation are not obvious. He loves the exclamation mark. using it five times in the twenty eight lines of the poem. and sprinkles dashes about with prod igality. He adopts the colon and does not slight the interrogation mark. while using now and then full stop Chicago News.

Tax on Hats.

Not only have hats at various times been subject to taxation. but have even been made the subject of special laws. Thus in Henry VII.'s reign none was allowed to sell hats at d larger price than 20 pence or caps for more than 2s. Sd.
 Some compensation. however. for this interference with free trade could be found in the fact that in 1871 on Sundays and holidays every one above seven years of age was required to wear a cap of wool of English make under penalty of farthings' fine for every days neglect.-London Chroni- cSp

So We had d long talk and tried to think of all the wrong we had done that day and con fess it to each other. She counted these wrongs on her fingers: T did not brush my teeth as you told me to do; l did not take off the lower sheet on the bed when l made it up. and l know l ought to always: l got angry with one of the girls at school: did not use my soap when l took my bath; !; l did not try to do my example in multiplication; all the other girls did theirs wrong. so l thought l would too.

OMENS IN BASEBALL.
A Managers Method of Turning a su. perstition to Account.

perstition to Account.
 Writing on baseball matters fin the New York Tribune. John J. McGraw has this to say about the superstitions of the players:
 'I recognize the superstitions of ball players. For example, back in 1904. when Bowerman was with the team, he came to me one day and said.
 "'As l came fin today l saw d team of white horses driving past the Polo grounds. That's good sign. Watch me kill the ball this afternoon
 "He did. The belief in his supersti- ton had given him confidence. Bow erman spread the tidings of the white horses around the clubhouse The next day somebody else saw the white horses, so the day after. By the end of the week the entire team was hit ting like house on fire. They all be- lieved in the superstition. and 1t gave them confidence. One day my short stop, Dahlen, remarked:
 Funny those white horses always happen to drive past the ball park just when we are coming into the clubhouse It's certainly lucky
 II heard him and couldn't keep back smile. On the day Bowerman told me he had seen the horses l made up my mind that everybody else would see them as long as it helped their batting. So engaged man to drive D>I~ ,1.,1 1nC is a fact, and it shows the lengths to which a manager will go to cater to ball players superstitions."

The Rabbits Danger Signal.

So long as 1t sits still the ordinary rabbit is almost indistinguishable in q field of bracken, stubble or dry grass, but as soon as it begins to run toward its burrow the white patch on its tail betrays it. This white patch, which at first seems like failure of adapta- ton. has its special function-it acts as a danger signal to the young rabbits and shows them the way by which they can escape from the threatened dnnger.-LOndon Mail
