ent of schools, talked on Choosing a
High School" Mr. Kramer addressed
his remarks 10 the eighth grade
pupils and gave them the principles
by which they might make a choice
of the three kinds of high school. He
said that fifteen years ago he could
not have advised them, for in those
days there was only one, the academic
high school. Now, those who have a
literary taste or who expect to study
for professions may attend the scRd-
emic; those who are fond OF doing or
making things, who wish to perfect
themselves in the mechanical or do
mestlc arts may attend the technical
and those who wish to buy and sell
or to be efficient accountants or
stenographers may attend the business
high school. Mr.. Kramer urged the
boys and girls to attend some high
school and to work hard to make a
living.

Senses Of Animals.

The deer is one of the two animals
that can smell farther than any others,
the antelope being the other with this
fine sense of smell, and the deer can
also hear farther than any other ami
NAL. but the tiger has the most perfect
eyes. So you want to keep out Of sight
Of the tiger. but If you were an animal
bent on harming the deer you want
to keep In the direction from which
the wind was not blowing. and more
over you would have to tread very
stealthily. Now. do you know why
the deer can run so fast? 1t is be.
cause other wild animals like the tiger
are fond Of deer, but this animal can
smell and hear farther and run faster
than the beasts Of prey, SO 1t is seldom
caught.

Trees Keep Records.

In cutting up logs for experimental
purposes ut the Madison (Wis) labora-
tory of the United States forest service
1t was noticed that in a number Of
them there were little diagonal streaks
or wrinkles running across the grain
and that all these appeared on the
same side Of the trees. 1t was well
known that these wrinkles were pro.
duced by too great q strain on the
fiber at some time. either from bending
In a storm or from rough handling.
but as all the logs In question came
from Florida and the markings were
all on the north side Of the log 1t was
assumed that they were caused by
some severe storm from the south that
had swept over that part Of the coun
try.
BY making careful count of the an,
nual rings Of wood and knowing when
the trees were cut. 1t was decided that
the storm recorded by the wrinkles
must have occurred In the year 1888.
and inquiries verified the fact that at
that time a hurricane had swept over
that region.-Scientifc American.

Ants at Work.

reports that in Burma and its vicinity
the natives set the ants to work. San

Its weight In silver. but 1t is only the
hard heart Of the wood that is fragrant
and valuable. This precious portion is
overlaid by soft and worthless lay
er. which forms two-thirds of the
trunk of the tree. When a tree Is fell
ed and cut into suitable lengths the
loggers just let 1t lie. Then the ants
attracted by the sweetness Of the wood
attack the chunks. Within a few
weeks the little insects have finished
their work, and the valuable heart OF
the wood Is freed Of its worthless sap

"The Diamond Rinu."

The diamond ring game can be play
ed by both boys and girls. The chill
dren sit In ring or In line with
their hands placed together. palm to
palm. and held straight, the fingers
downmOst between the knees. One Of
them is then chosen to represent a
servant, who conceals a ring or some
other small article as substitute in
her hands, which are pressed fat to-
gether like those Of the rest, and goes
round the circle or line placing her
hands into the hand of every player,
SO that she Is enabled to let the ring
fall wherever she pleases without de-
lection. After this she returns to the
first child she touched and. with her
hands behind her, exclaims:
My lady's lost her diamond ring:
pitch upon you to find 1t.
The child who is thus addressed
must guess who has the ring. and
the servant performs the same cere-
mony with each Of the party. Those
who guess right escape. but the rest
must pay forfeit. Should one exclaim,
II have it," she also forfeits. nor must
the servant make known who has the
ring until all have guessed. The for
feits are afterward cried as usual.
