The eggs of some common birds OF
the present day have never been found
There Is the robin snipe; its eggs have
never been seen. An English zoologtst
kept man going up and down the
coast Of Labrador for weeks purpose
ly to get Il robin snipe's egg, but II
was in vain. The bird is known by
thousands OF people, but 1t breeds sc
far north and 80 remote from any
civilization that no scientific observer
can ever get to its nest ere the young
are hatched and have taken to wing
The frigate bird that is so commonly
seen at sea on the Pacific and or the
West Indies is such q solitary bird
and Is so seldom seen In It's nest dur.
ing the hours OF daylight that its egg
is rare.

In the early days of the English
stage there were no actresses. Even
in Shakespeare time women's parts
were played by boys But "the whirl-
igig OF time brings its revenges." An
English actress now in this country
says the war Is making serious in
roads on the histrionic profession and
the number of English actors who
have enlisted and been killed and
wounded Is so great that 1t is posi-
bic women will be found playing most
of the mems parts before long. She
admits that there are masculine roles
in which none but men can succeed.
hut adds In the hero and Juvenile
parts. women would do just as well as
men. They could make up 30 that 1t
would be difficult TO tell their sex
across the footlights They would
make even better lovers than some of
the men who have played the parts. -

Hes one of the finest men l know,
and of course he's a good friend Of
mine, but" We're always hearing
something like that and probably ev-
eryone does more or less OF it. It's
too bad that there are very few per-
sons in the whole world who will ever
appear to any person as perfect, but
it's one Of the things that Is likely to
hold good for human nature. There is
a weakness or an element we don't
like in almost II not quite, everyone
we know Even in those we love most
We are able to see faults, or what we
think are faults. Butt doesn't make
us happier to be dwelling on them In
our thoughts. 1t doesn't make us
good, loyal friends to be talking about
them. We might be untruthful to
deny them, but there Is no untruthful-
ness in not being the ones to talk
about and publish them. When we
hear that phrase. "Of course, I'm q
friend OF his, but" we are generally
right in guessing that what comes
after is taking a bigger place in the
speakers mind than the friendship.
We don't coyet that kind of friend
For there are always plenty of per
sons in the world to point to the
faults in any mans character. The
part of his friends is to dwell on the
good things which make him after all
worthy Of friendship And people
know this pretty well; they don't take
much stock in the man who is friend

ODD LABOR SAVING DEVICE,
A Farmers ingenuity With q Clock
and q Rat Trap.


On farm In western New York It Is
frequently necessary to shut OF gasO-
line engine pump late at night The
pump is located more than a mile from
the house. and the owner, after many
weary midnight trips, decided to dele
gate the duty of shutting II or to a
trusted family alarm clock.
The clock was first securely fastened
to support directly opposite and
about foot away from the switch Of
the engine. One end Of short piece
Of cord was attached TO the switch
and the other end tied firmly to the
winding post on the back OF the clock.
which revoives as the alarm rings.
The clock was set at the desired hour,
but instead OF ringing 1t wound up the
cord on the revolving post. pulled open
the switch and stopped the pump.
The arrangement worked perfectly
except when the switch became clog
ged or damned so that the mechanism
of the clock was not sufficiently strong
to pull 1t open. This difficulty was
remedied by bringing into play an old
fashioned spring rat trap. The pull
OF the clock is now used TO snap the
trap, and the strong throw OF the trap
spring shuts or the current without
fail.
In another instance an alarm clock Is
used TO open the small sliding door OF
a poultry house. In this case the clock
winds up a string connected with bal
anced weight. The pull OF the string
causes the weight to fall from its sup
port and as 1t falls it pulls up the slid
ing door.-Country Gentleman.

dows or furniture, unless it has
been sterilized by a process OF boiling

which the Nautilus in her early days did not
have. If she had been equipped with periscopes
in 1866 and 1867, it is probable that she would
not have been in collision with the Columbus, the
Shannon, the Helvetia and other ocean steam
ships during those years, much to the annoyance
of their owners and the mystifcation of the
public. Also, the Nautilus in her reincarnation
has wireless telegraph equipment, something
which she did not in her early days, because
MarcOni had not then been born For the rest Of
it, the Nautilus is the Nautilus still.
"a very full description of the Nautilus is con-
tanned in the log as written up by Mr.. Aronnax
from the dictation of Captain Memo. He men,
lions that the captain showed him the plans,
sections and elevation of the vessel; doubtless
the original drawings made by Mr.. Verne or
perhaps tracings of the originals. If they had
been blue prints, Mr.. Aronnax would doubtless
have spoken of them as such; but, of course,
they were not, as blue prints were not in use in
those days. The captain went on:
Here, M. Aronnax, are the several dimen-
sonS of the boat. 1t is an elongated cylinder
with conical ends. It is very like cigar in
shape, shape already adopted in London in sew
eral constructions of the sort. The length
of this cylinder, from stem to STERN is exactly
81 feet and its maximum breadth is % feet. 1t
is not built quite like your long-voyage steamers,
but its lines are sufficiently long and its curves
prolonged enough to allow the water to slide off
easily and oppose no obstacle to its passage.
"'When the Nautilus is afloat One-tenth is out
of the water. Now, Il / have made reservoirs of
a size equal to this tenth and if fill them with
water, the boat weighing then 15O7 tons, will be
completely immersed. These reservoirs are in
the lower part of the Nautilus 1 turn on taps
and they fill, and the vessel sinks.
Also, when 1 have mind to visit the depths
OF the ocean, l make use of slower but not less
infallible means To steer this boat following
horizontal plan, l use ordinary rudder fixed
on the back of the sternpost, and with one wheel
and some tackle to steer by. But can also make
the Nautilus rise and sink, and sink and rise, by
a vertical movement by means of two inclined
planes fastened to its sides, opposite the center

Look 1t over in detail. The Nautilus was 232
feet long; the length of the undersea boat at
Baltimore was guessed at anything from oOO
and some odd feet to 300 feet Of course as
she has been rebuilt, the boat may have been
