Nature Would Instruct Him.

The new British ambassador at
Washington, Sir Auckland ,Geddes,
has story that he likes to tell about
seasickneSs.
There are numerous remedies for
seasickness, he says. Some advise
cotton in the ears; others recommend
smoked glasses; fasting has its ad-
vantages as we'll; but for my part in
cline to the view of the old skipper in
the anecdote.

ger, "my husband IS frightfully sea-
sick! Can you tell him what to do?"
at amt necessary to tell him
ma'am," said the old skipper gruffly
"he'll do it."

Freezing Points of Fruits Are Meas
ured Electricity.

In an attempt to evolve methods of
preventing the spoilage of fruits and
vegetables by freezing while in transit
or storage, the Department of Agricul-
tue is conducting thousands OF exper-
iments at the Arlington, Va, laborat-
cries, to determine at what tempera-
ture these poducts freeze. The exper-
mental apparatus, which is described and
illustrated in the April Popular Mechan-
les Magazine, consists of large tank
in which brine is circulated, and Their
mocouples, which possess the peculiar
property of generating weak and vari-
able currents Of electricity when they
are subjected to changes in tempera-
ture. These variations ae registered
by delicate meters. So sensitive are the
thermocouple are placed in one of IL
difference of temperature of .O0Ol. In
service, a test specimen of fruit and a
themocouple are placed in one of IL
cups in the lid Of the brine tank. BY
watching the specimen and the meter
closely the exact temperature at which
freezing begins is determined with great
accuracy.

Almost Invisible Screws

The smallest screws that are made
those that are turned out in a watch
factory-are cut from steel wire by a
machine. AS the chips fall from the
knife it looks as if the operator were
simply cutting up the wire to amuse
himself. No screws can be seen. vet
a screw is made at every third opera
ton.
The smallest Of the screws, saws the
New York Herald, are next to invisible
to the naked eye a pile of them resem.
oles dust. With a good microscope,
however, you can see that each tiny
object is screw with no less than two
hundred and sixty threads.
Those tiny screws are four one-thous-
anths of an inch in diameter, and the
heads are twice as large An ordinary
thimble would hold thousand of them.
About million are made in a month.
No attempt, however, is made TO count
them. To determine the number, one
hundreds of them are placed on a very
delicate balance and weighed. and then
the weight Of the whole divided by the
weight of the hundred shows how many
hundreds there are. The number OF
all the small parts Of the watch is ascer-
tanned in that way.

ne rain was showing fast.

Stood sitting on the grass.
II was midnight and the rising sun

Were budding in their nests.
Inc rain was pouring down
Inc moon was shining bright,
And every thing you could see
Was hidden out Of sight.
While the organ pealed potatoes,
Lard was rendered BY the choir,
Inc old sexton rung the dish-rag,
Some one set the church on FIRE.

AS he madly tore his hair.
Now his head resembles Heaven,
For there is no parting there.

Pittsburgh Drives A Tunnel Through
ImpriSOning Hills.

After having tried, for a lumber OF
years, 10 get over and around the hills
surrounding their city, the residents
of Pittsburgh, Pa, have decided to
strike at the heart of the difficulty
and go through them. Accordingly
tunneling operations have been gotten
under way which, when completed,
will result in a double-tube bore that
will accommodate pedestrian, street
car, and vehicular traffic, says the
March number of the Popular Mechan-
les Magazine, in an illustrated article,
The estimated cost of the undertaking
is between S2,0OO,OO0 and S3,OOO,OOO,
and it is expected that two years will
be required for its completion. 1t es-
tablishes no precedent, as another
bore, made several years ago, has
given satisfactory service, although
reserved for the use of street cars
only.

Value Of individuality.

There is something in you that
makes you little different from every.
body else, something that sets you
apart, and differentiates you, and that
something is one Of your most valua-

ambition to be like some one you ad-
mire, you do not put imitation above
self-development. and obscure that
priceless treasure, your individuality.
