The Expandino Stone.

In the rock of St. Gowan's chapel, in Wales, was a natural cavity upon which the name of the expanding stone" was bestowed by popular tradi- tion, because the strange fancy prevail ed that this stone automatically adapt ed itself to the size of any one who entered the cavity
 The legend ran, as quoted by MT George F. Kuhz in @The Magic of Jewels and Charms 7 that once, dur ing the pagan prosecutions, when a fugitive Christian, hotly pursued, reach ed this rock it opened up of its own accord sos that he could slip into it and then closed about him so as to hide him effectually from his enemies This expanding stone was believed to manifest it's magic power by bringing to pass the wish expressed by any one who entered it, provided he did not change his wish while he turned around within it.

A Mistake somemhere.

A helpful friend recently requested us to write funny piece about game we used to play in boyhood's glad days called hiding in the barn. He alleged that part of the gang hid and the rest searched for them, and when they were found all hands jumped and yelled most gleefully. This. he tried to remind us, was very. very funny Either our memory is railing or we have lost our sense of hnmor, for as we recollect it our father did the hid ing and we jumped and yelled. And it does not seem amusing to us even yet.-Kansas City Star.

A soul, Annerioan Hobo-

Santiago, capital of Chile, is the home of the roto Chileno, or broken Chilean, most picturesque and unique oe hoboes. The name is byword in South America, and as far as that con tinent is concerned he is unique type
 We find rioh people everywhere and poor people everywhere, but in no oth- CT South American country but Chile do we find this good natured, service able, deceitful, ragged, drunken, cri1ni- nal species of tramp. He earns live hhood by begging. doing odd jobs and thieving. The. last is his mainstay. In his hands stealing has become a fine art The Chileans have a saying that he will steal your socks without touch ing your boots A long, jointed wire with a hook at the end is his faYorite tool. If window on the street is left unguarded he will with this simple contrivance successfully remove from the interior everything but the heavy furniture.-New York Independent

African Fashion Notes.

The prettiest dress of the NIpongwe woman is 8 cloth drawn up under the arms, scarf on the shoulders and a handkerchief folded over the coiled hair in high stiff fold set well up on the head, rather like a child's idea of a crown. There is great fancy for purples and slavenders set off with shades of rose and red and a sudden keen note of gilt. With black there will be a touch of most delicious bright green. cloth and a scarf worn by a woman of beautiful gesture-and Ga bonnaise is always that-have certain mutable charm; the movements of the body, the wind that blows from the sea-these renew and display the folds of the garment so that the eye is in trigued.-AtIantic.

Our Navy a Century Aqo.

One hundred years ago the naval force of the United States on the At lantic coast consisted of thirty three vessels, twenty seven of which were in commission. Among them were a dozen great ships, first class frigates and sloops of war, some of them car rying as many as seventy-four guns each. They were all sailing vessels. The era of the steam warship, how ever, was close at hand. With the aid of an appropriation from congress there was now nearing completion a floating steam battery designed by Robert Fulton. This ship, which was launched a few months later, was the first steam war vessel ever built and was destined to revolutionize the meth ods of naval warfare throughout the worId.-Exchange

His College HandIean.

'I remember when it was really q disadvantage to have had a technical mining education,' said John Hays Hammond. 'I remember going to one of the large mining magnates of the day in California, who had got his in formation and experience by hard knocks, and asking for a job. He said: There is one serious objection to you. You have been at Freiburg, and you know you have to unlearn q good deal when you get into active practice" I am sorry to say there is a great deal of truth in that too. We'll I said, T will tell you in con fidence, but do not repeat this to my poor father who has made every sacri- flee to send me abroad for a mining education-I did not learn a confound- ed thing at Freiburg.' Then he said. T will take you.' And that was the first job ever got"

if You FeH Of the EartF1.

After you have learned that the earth Is spinning through space like a great top and that we are all living on the outside of this top you probably wonder where we would all go if we fell off. The earth itself has enough power of attraction to keep everything on it's surface from falling off
 Now, just imagine that this power Of attraction stopped altogether If that happened and you were indoors your head would hit the ceiling. If you were out of doors you would go straight up into the sky for long time, and gradually you would begin to move slower and slower and slower, for the resistance of the air would re tard you. At last you would come to a stop. and there you would stay And very cold you would find it.
 If the air did not resist with the least little jump you would go sailing off into space. That is the only way you could fall of the earth, when the earth's attraction stopped and when tie air did not resist.-Exchang

Drills Tiny Holes.

Making an adding machine required the drdfling of ten holes in steel plate 3 thirty-second of an inch thick each hole to be accurate to thou sandth of an inch, yet no bigger than pin in diameter. Such Q problem stopped the manufacture of the ma chine on commercial basis funtil the inventor of the calculator could invent a means of solving it.
 The machEne devised standsA but twelve inches high The drill which was built carries ten spindles, each holding a drill of No. Morse gauge which is about the size of pin of ordinary use. Each little silver of steel that does the work is driven by a belt operating through cam head and therefore works at the same speed as syhat of it's neighbors.
