New Compact Fire Escape.
One Of the boys aboard our navy's
feet has invented a fire escape which
Is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object was
to provide a collapsible nre escape
which could be compacted and con-
veniently arranged at the window Of a
dwelling. It consists Of cOntainer
hinged to the sill In such a manner
that by opening the window and fold
ing the container on Its hinges tho
metal ladder may be unfolded and

distance from the walls Of the build

Concerning Natural Death.

"Under normal conditions most COM
plex animals have characteristic and
rather sharply defined duration Of life.
But one-celled animals. which repro:
duce by fission, are apparently i'm
mortal unless life is stopped by what
may be called an accident, for as the
cell divides in half, neither part may
be called the parent, and both halves
will go on reproducing. And by tax
ing cuttings from plant. part Of
the original may be kept living indefi-
nitely by repeated cuttings, while the
parent plant dies at the close Of its
usual duration Of life. Thus it would
appear" concludes a writer in the
Journal Of Heredity, "that natural
death is connected only with organ
isms which are composed Of different
organs which are inseparable."

Beautiful Chinese Gardens.

From time immemorial China has
been called the flowery Kingdom, q
name given by the Chinese themselves
and singularly suited to the land which
for ages was like an oasis Of flowers
Of the spirit in the world desert Of
barbarism, observes the New York
World. -
In this oasis grew the arts Of the
bronze and stone worker, Of the silk
maker and embroiderer, Of the potter.
Of the painter on silk, Of the poet,
philosopher and ethical devotee.
But China was not named the flow
cry kingdom because Of these flowers
Of the mind. Her fora is one of the
most luxuriant in the world. It is es-
timated to consist Of some 1900 spe-
cies, 1900 Of which are known and one
half Of which are indigenous and not
found elsewhere.
Such being the flora Of China, it Is
readily understood that horticulture
and gardening early became a skilled
and honored profession.

How to Read.

At best the printed words Of an au-
thor represent but poor fraction of
what Is in his thought and feeling, or
what he would express II he could.
Therefore, it is we'll to follow Ruskin's
advice on reading for the thought"
and "get into the habit Of looking in
tensely at words and assure yourself
Of their meaning syllable by syllable
nay, letter by letter." Not only does
this help you to understand the au.
thor's meaning by comprehending his
words, but the act Of concentration
fertilizes and awakens your own mind
and tends to bring you into such sym
patty with the idea expressed and
with the author, that you are illumined
by far more Of the subject than the
printed words alone contain.-William
b. Towne in Nautilus.

Explaining Turbine Engine.

'The best idea I can give Of it,"
said an engineer, lis to liken it to
those paper windmills which spin on
the end of stick and which are sold
to children in the streets. A turbine,
In fact, is like series of those re-
volving wheels fixed one behind the
other. only instead Of being turned by
the wind it is revolved by jets Of
steam. The turbine wheels turn a
shaft inside a cylinder, in the in
terror Of which are fixed a number Of
stationary blades which project into
the spaces between each wheel. The
purpose Of these blades is to catch the
steam and direct 1t on to the wheels
at an angle where it will exert the
most force. AS the steam enters the
cylinder it is caught by the station
ary blades and detected on to the
blades Of the first wheel, which are
set turning. The steam then passes
to the next until all the wheels are set
whirling and the ship is driven through
the water"

In tho World.

The Bible Is the most valuable and
TIE cheapest book In the world. Its
value We all acknowledge, but did you
know that you could buy complete
Bibls of 1000 double pages for 80
CENTS In Germany and II cents in Eng
land and the United States? And
copies of the New Testament are sold
In England for penny apiece!
In the thirteenth century fine Eng
0ah Bible cost EDO.
At that time the wages of a laborer
were nine pence a week. So to buy
q Bible he must save his entire in
come for Is years.
OF course he didn't. He went to the
churches, where the precious volume
was chained to the desk to keep 1t
safe, and there he read the exciting
Old Testament stories or the beauti-
full Gospels, or more likely listened to
q reader who was better educated
than he.
In those days the Bible was val
liable in every way. Today work
man may buy the New Testament by
walking home one night instead of
taking the car, or giving up the potato
he had planned for his dinner.-From
