Measured Waterspouts.

It is rarely that all opportunity oc- CUTS to make a truly scientific Obser- vatiOn of a waterspOut. Yet an engi- neer on board an American schooner had what is said to be a unique eX- perience of this kind off the coast of New South Wales.
 Fourteen complete waterSpouts formed off the shore where he was at work with a theodOite, and he made careful measurements of them. The largest spout consisted of two cones, connected by a pipe-shaped spout. The top of the upper cone, which was inverted, was 5,Ol4 feet above the sea. Each cone was about 100 feet in diameter at the base, di- minishing gradually until it merged in to the spout. The length of the cones was about 25O feet each, leaving 4,5OO feet for the length of the spout con- meeting them.-New York Herald.

Gardener's Novel Theory.

Gardeners are often men of strong ly individual opinions, as not a few employers have discovered. But for curious opinion, held most sincere ly, commend us to gardener work ing near to celebrated aerOdrOme.
 "It ain't the drought that has kept back the flowers and the fruit" says this theOrist. "'Tis them gases what come from the flying machines They poison the air and ruin the gar denS."
 The gardener is quite convinced as to this cause of backwardness, so it is no use arguing with him.-London Chronicle.

Topsy's Flock.

TOpsy, a haIf-grOwn shepherd dog, has, writes friend of the Companion, a flock of her own. It is an unusual flock too, for every one of the mem berS of it has not wool, but feathers :! The mother of the flock is a Plymouth Rock hen, but TOpSy is the shepherd. Whenever the chicks scatter she will run round them and gradually bring them nearer Cne clucking mother. ODe day some of them had wandered eff, and TOpsy, much distressed, was making every effort to round them up, when pasSer-by who thought she was going to hurt them struck at her with folded paper. At once the dog set up an agOniZed barking, anl finally her mistress hurried out to explain. Left alone again, the little dog brought the chicks into close formation and de- nVered them to the hen m fairly compact group. TOpsy was never trained to do that sort of thing and has never been with older shepherd dogs. Apparently blood will ten."- Youths Companion.

Land of Skaters.

Holland is d wonderful place for skating. for, in winter especially, large stretches of land are under water. and these freeze over. as do many of the almost countless canals which thread their way about the country. from place to place. like the raiiw@rs do in other lands. One of the great amhi- tions of the Dutch skater is to visit seven towns in one day. and there is one favOritP round which. starting from a little town called LeeuWarden, it is possible to travel oyer the ice in circle. and. after visiting six other towns, find oneself near i.e&uwardoH again. The distance Hhich must 2 covered to complete the round is abCnt 100 miles, and the burGnn1aSter of each town, or some one W!n takes his place, Is ready to receive the skaters as they pass through and certify that they have fulfilled their task.-Christian Science Monitor

There was no question that public
participation was on the increase in
the stock market. although most Of
the inspiration continued to come
from pools and professional traders.
This showed In a larger volume of
business and in a better sustained
upward tendency Of prices. The
familiar bidding up of one set Of
stocks after another was again the
main characteristic. in this way
leadership was assumed at various
stages by the motor stocks, the ship
ping stocks. the oils and the equip
ments. Many Of these went through
their best prices of the year.
Along with them a miscellaneous
array Of specialties were taken up.
among them Cast Iron Pipe, common
