FILM SPREAD OVER WATER
Thin Sheet on Surface Has Properties
That Are Very Like Those Of
India Rubber.

1t seems not to be generally under
stood that the surface of all water is
covered by film of the water itself,
which In its action is not unlike that
of thin sheet of india rubber, says
Edward Bigelow, the scout naturalist,
in Boys Life. To comprehend this
one must imagine the rubber to be so
thin as to be transparent. The surface
of the water itself is elastic and under
tension, so that needle, though heav-
Ter than the water, may be floated on
the surface.
Several interesting experiments may
be made with the elasticity of this
film. One of the best Is to place two
slender splinters of wood side by side
on the water. Now drop little alco-
hol between the splinters. This alco-
hol will Immediately break the surf
ace film between the spllnters, and
the pulling force of the remaining film,
since there is nothing between them
to hold them, will cause the splinters
instantly to fly apart.
Another interesting experiment is to
white thin, slender splinter, pointed
at one end somewhat like boat. Place
tiny bit of gum camphor on the rear
of this splinter and the gum will de-
stroy the surface film so that there
will be no pull il the rear. AS there
is pull in the front not balanced by
one in the rear, the tiny boat will run
forward as rapidly as the camphor
can dissolve the film in the rear.
Some interesting little magic"
tricks might be developed from these
experiments which would surprise
and instruct your friends.

HARD TO CHEAT FATHER TIME
Wise Is the Man Who Appreciates
Value Of Punctuallty, and Great
Is His Reward.

A young Kentuckian has lost big
keeping business engagement.
The cherries old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that is coming
to him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap, and we are apt to
think we can fitch it as we will. But
1t Is always ourselves we rob, not time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late In keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, If any, is your
own affair. But 1t is also the affair Of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
less, maybe his Is not. He may con-
clude that his time is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases 1t may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether it matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that 1t does not matter
even when 1t does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is of least value, can afford to
waste 1t by looseness in keeping en-
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit Of always being on time, but it
can be done, and it is worth while to
do it.
Great business men have this habit.
Men of great affairs, whose time Is
most completely taken up, are usually
on time. 1t is they who know best the
value Of time and the Importance of
saving 1t by being prompt.-Christian
Herald.

"FIapdoodIe" Universal.

BOOSTERS have used 1t simply and in
genuously, but by mankind 1t has been

It has been extensively used from long
before the days Of Solomon for pur-
poses Of evasion, promotion, argument
and acknowledgements. There Is scarce
ly department Of human activity that
is free from 1t. 1t Is rhetorical de-
vice that Is literally and shamelessly
used by the lover, the business man,
the professional man, the society wom-
an, the critic and the craftsman, and
even the clergyman has been known to
descend to its employment upon occa-
sion. The routine evidences Of flap
doodle In ordinary intercourse are mo-
notonous, but in its most highly cult
Sated forms 1t Is found In art, liter

Canton a City Of Canals.

At Canton, the oldest city in south
ern China, the river is, in effect, canal
lied, and the shipping ~ heavy and
varied. The water is deep enough for
ships of 1000 tons burden as far as the
city, but foreign boats come up only
as far as Whampoa, nine miles to the
southeast, where there are extensive
docks. Here the loading and unload
ing Is done by native boats. Vessels
Of deep draft lie outside the bar. For
ty miles below is the Boca Tigris
Mouth Of the Tiger), and the water
wldens into wide estuary. Water d.
vides the old from the new town and
surrounds the island and the suburbs,
where the Europeans live, so that Can
ton has an abundance of picturesque
water life, including a big houseboat
population.

0DIUM ATTACHED TO CARD
Numerous Explanations as to Why the
Nine Of Diamonds Is Called the
Curse of Scotland.

While the nine spot Of spades Is
looked upon as fatal and vindictive
card In the trying of fortunes, 1t is the
nine Of diamonds that bears the odium
of being called the curse of Scotland.
All writer's agree on the card, but as
to the cause Of the stigma attached
to it there Is diversity Of opinion
and 1t Is difficult to decide which Of
the many theories Is correct. One the
DRY is that after the Culloden strug-
gle the duke Of Cumberland picked
up nine of diamonds from the floor
and wrote on 1t an order for the death
Of the insurgents. To clinch this ar
gument, 1t Is declared that the identi-
cal card Is preserved at Slams castle,
Aberdeenshire. Another explanation
was that Scotch member of parlia-
ment, part Of whose family arms was
the nine Of diamonds, once voted for
malt tax for his country. Still another
view is that diamonds represent roy
atty and every ninth king of Scotland
having been tyrant and a curse fur
nishes the key to the mystery. One
writer explains it by stating that tie
last queen of Scotland taxed her sub
jects heavily to pay for nine Jewels
for her own adornment. The "last
queen of Scotland" in her own right
was poor, pretty Marie Stuart, against
whose memory has been tossed the
mud of countless accusations by her
bitter critics, and she might as well
bear the nine o. diamonds SANDER
along with the others.

Interesting Old Egyptian Letters.

Letter writing, fortunately, was
much practiced in ancient Egypt, and
there are quantities of letters between
persons Of all degrees of education
and written on all sorts Of occasions.
We may read, for instance, the encour-
agement and good advice sent by pa
rents to absent sons, or may recognize
familiar types Of character in the an
swering illusions Of children to pa
rents-the spoilt boy who scolds his
father for having left him at home in
stead Of taking him to the capital; the
well-conducted youth, who cOmplacent-
ly assures his relatives that he is get
ting on very well, combining study
with recreation, and the prodigal son,
who writes to beg his mothers for
giveness and confesses that he has
brought himself to restitution.

FOX, STATESMAN AND ORATOR
Brilliant Englishman VIII BE Remem-
bered as Firm Friend Of Ameri.
can independence

Charles James Fox, great English
statesman, who did so much for Amer
lean independence, entered parliament
as tory at nineteen, and was made
lord Of the admiralty at twenty-one.
He incurred the lifelong enmity Of
George III by opposing royal mar
'iage bill, favored by the king, and at
the kings instance he was dismissed
from Office. Thereupon he left the
tories and joined the whig party,
whose chief he soon became, leading
them in their splendid opposition to
Lord North and the war which ended
in American independence.
nifty Of the king during % of the best
years Of his life Lord Granville final
ly refused to form cabinet without
him), but managed in spite Of this to
fight valiantly for many good meas
ures, including Indian government re-
form, better libel law and the abol-
ition of the slave trade. He risked
his life rising from sick bed to speak
for the latter.
Gambling, which his father taught
him as a child, was Fox's besetting
sin. He lost thousands by 1t, but when
In 1893 his friends paid his debts and
settled an annuity upon him, he never
touched a card again.
Fox was one Of the greatest orators
who ever spoke in the British parlia-
ment. He Is said to have possessed
"above all moderns that union Of rea-
son, simplicity and vehemence which
formed the prince Of orators"

There is an aspect Of spider and fly
relations which fabulists and natural

spondent who has brought the NIL
croscope to bear on many housefiies
finds that the parasite upon that hate
full insect Is often an immature spider.
Too weak yet to spin its web 1t makes
the fly Its winged palfrey, and courses
from place to place at the will of its
captive; either until Pegasus perishes
