help, will naturally be interested in

Long and Short FalIs.

In one Kansas City building, the, ele- vator boy who works mornings is very short, and the one who is on afternoons is very tall. When the short one comes up into view, he says "Watch your step," and you step out and down, al- though the floor Is more frequently up. Consequently, you stub your toe and lose your dignity. Then about noon. the tall boy looms up. He says "Watch your step" and your sense of distances tells you the step is up. You raise your root up, and fall down, crashing into the back of the car, provided some delicate old lady isn't in the way.

The born paint CT Is prone to be making sketches on every available space, as Giotte in his childhood drew pictures on slate with q little piece of stone while minding his sheep, and similar manifestations Of artistic bent have been noted early in the lives of most of the painters who have added to the joy of the world by their brushes. "Wonder children" have grown into marvels in the world of music. Most of the noted writers could tell of stories and poems written in childhood; we are told that Milton wrote poems at the age of nine years.

Find Real Flying Dragon,

Find Real Flying Drason.
 What is said to be the only reptile that can fly has been recently diseov. cred in Borneo. This creature is liz. ard about ten inches long, its body brilliantly colored. It does not have wings in the usual understanding of the term. but its ribs. widely extended, enable the lizard to soar in much the same way that an airplane or bird drifts on current of air. These fly- ing lizards commonly travel in swarms, frequenting the deepest forests, says an exchange. Seen at q distance they are said to look much like birds, with their brilliantly hued bodies. Science has not as yet hit upon a name for the newly discovered specie of reptile, but has called it the flying dragon, which seems an excellent name everything considered.

Cotton Instead of Silk

For almost hundred years no one thought of making thread other than from linen and silk. Cotton was not so much as thought of. Then Napoleon, who had been devastating Europe, thought he would strike a blow at the silk industry of Hamburg, and caused the stocks of silk to be burned. The thread makers of Paisley thus found their supplies of raw material cut of and they had to look about to find substitute. Cotton was tried, and was found to answer the purpose so well that the basis of an entirely new indus try was laid-the manufacture of "cot- ton" thread. From this time on the progress of the new industry was steady.

Where Do They \co7

"Where do all the pins goY" used tc be a favorite speculative query, until people grew tired of guessing without coming to any conclusion The inquiry might be widened to take in every movable object that can. by any pos sibility, be lost. What has become of the enormous stock of precious stones undoubtedly possessed by the rulers of the ancient world? Where are the treasures of the ancient world--the wonderful wealth of Solomon, for in- stance? These things have not become dfsintegrated; they are lost, and must, therefore, be in some crack or clanny of the earth's surface
