The Beginning Of Brazil.

Rising brisk and early one bright
morning toward the close Of the fifteenth
century, nice Portuguese gentleman,
to wit, Cabrai, going for q sail, decided
to take his comical little feet down the
west coast Of Africa, turn to the east,
totter across the Indian ocean and, be-
fore he grew quite old, reach the Indies.
The opening voyage was shorter than
expected. He awoke one day to find
land on his right instead Of on his left,
land which Pinzon had scratched three
months earlier, land In the west and
not In the east. 1t was Brazil.--London

OUR NATIONAL FORESTS.
They Are ts3 In Number and Are Scat.
tered Over Nineteen States,


Under authority OF an net OF congress
passed In 1891 the president Of the
United States is empowered TO set
apart public ands bearing forests as
public reservations. The primary pur.
poses Of the national forests are to In.
sure continuous production Of timber
and favorable conditions as TO flow Of
water. As means TO these ends strict
supervision is maintained over the sale
Of mature timber. and the forest areas
are guarded against tire.
These areas are much used by camp
ers, hunters and fishermen. "Recrea,
tion maps" are ISSUED. which not only
present maps OF many OF the national
forests, showing towns. streams. roads
aud trails. but contain information per-
tanning to camp sites. fish and game.
and campers registers are kept at the
headquarters Of the forest supervisors.
The national forests. 153 In number.
are scattered over nineteen states.
Alaska and Porto Rico. All but two
Of these states. Florida and Michigan.
lie west OF the Mississippi. The total
area OF national fcrcst land. excluding
that Of other lands within national for
est boundaries. Is pa, ,lS0 square miles.
This area is nearly as great as that OF
the state " Texas. or Of New England.
New York. Pennsylvania. New Jersey
Delaware. Maryland. District OF Co.
Virginia and West Virginia
or Of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois.
Michigan and Wisconsin combined.

Curved Arms Of FiywhssIs.

A great many people imagine that
the arms Of fiywheels and pulleys are
curved for the sake Of beauty and
graceful appearance. But this Ia not
so. In the making Of these wheels they
are cast In sand from molten iron
poured In. As the arms are Of less
thickness and body than the heavy rim
and the hub. they begin to cool OF
quicker. BY the time the arms are
set the rim and hub are still cooling
and contracting, and the effect Of their
shrinkage Is to cause very powerful
pull on the arms. As the latter are SOL
idly set they become severely strained.
but II the arms are curved they with
stand the pull that goes on during
shrinkage and simply straighten out q
little.

Watches, Thick and Thin.

Although some Of the early watches
were very small In circumference, they
were thick, and the front and back
fairly bulged 40 that they were more
the shape Of an apple than cookie.
which they really resemble today. The
waferlike watch Is an invention Of
very recent times, and the process Of
thinning It Ia even now going on. The
obvious advantage Of the thin watch
Is that II can be placed In the belt or
pocket without making bulAe. II
watches had always been worn round
the necks they might still be spherical
rather than dislike In shape. = Ex-
