Three Methods of perision.


There are very few illusions to
storks in Latin authors, but one Of
these is interesting. The birds have a
curious custom Of swapping their bills,
making quite sharp noise, Young
and old birds, both during and after
the breeding season, constantly do this
In the writings Of Persius there is a
reference to this habit. There are"
he says, three favorite ways of derid-
ing mainly putting the hands beside
the head like asses ears, by putting
out the tongue like dog and swapping
the fingers against the palm Of the
hand like stork's bill The first two
methods Of mockery are plain, but
what the cause of the last was is a
puzzle. Mail
Riddle of Gravitation.
Nearly $50 years ago one Of the great
est intellects connected with science
turned his attention to gravitation. In
those $50 years physical science has
made rapid advances. A boy who has
completed years work in elementary
physics could entertain Newton in cleo
tricity We're it possible for the great
philosopher to return to earth. After
learning of the great progress in cleo
tricity we can imagine him in his eager
desire for knowledge turning to the
boy and expecting some light on CRAWL
tation. Alas, not only the high school
boy, but not even the most learned,
can give any definite information on
gravitation! The problem is about
where Newton left IT.

KNOW TAYsELF.

In knowledge is power. The
more man knows the clearer
becomes his consciousness of ig-

he of his defects. The nearer he
approaches to perfection the
more strongly does he feel that
his aspirations can only be fully
realized in the great hereafter.
