A century ago astronomers, get^o glsts. chemists, physicists, each had an island of his own, separate and distinct from that of every other stu dent of nature; the whole held of research was tl en an archipelago of unconnected units. Today all the standpoints of study have risen to gether to form a continent without either ferry or bridge Beyond Hla Understanding. The Englishman was attending his first ball game. He seemed very uneasy after the fifth inning and finally said to hia American friend: “I *f. old chap, when do they serve the tea?" "They don't serve tea at a ball game," laughed the American. “No tea between innings?" gasped the Englishman. "Then what's the ob ject of the blooming game?" Snail Sheila in Demand.

Cook, Loup City, Neb. “Artificial Rain.” The shallow draft passenger steam ers built by an English shipbuilding concern for river service in the trop ics are equipped with “artificial rain.” Up through the awning forming the roof of the upper cabin project two water pipes, each of which is fitted with a spray head. These fountains throw sprays of water over the awn ing, and the rapid evaporation under the hot rays of the sun keeps the cabins cool.—Popular Mechanics Mag azine. Great Poet Fast Worker. Byron worked fast He once told a publisher that he was like a tiger, and If he missed his first spring went “grumbling back to his lair.” Many of his works were written at fever heat when the first spring did not miss. “The Corsair” occupied ten days, and two rainy days at Onchy were sufficient to produce the “Pris oner of Chillon." The “Bride of Abydos,” though revised afterward, was at first the work of only four nights, and most of his poems, in fact, were impromptus. Few Live to Advanced Age. Considering the entire earth, about me person in one hundred lives to be 3iity-hve years of age. Modern Way. "Sakes alive!” exclaimed the Stork, upon meeting the little God of Love crying bitterly. "What la the matter, Dan?” "The m-mum-matter,” sobbed Cupid, "Is that Cupidity Is making twice as many matches as I ami Uh wah! hah! ha-a-a-ah!”—Judge. Ones Was Enough. Little Sterling had been taken to church to be baptized, and being quite indignant about the water being put on his head he remarked while com ing out: "Well, I’ll never get mar ried again.” —— Porch Plant Save the top of a pineapple, put it In a pint jar filled with water and it will soon root. Then pot It as you would any other plant and it makes a pretty decoration for the porch.— Mothers' Magazine. Even Worse Grievance. “Your worship,” said the prtnoner, "you don't know how heartrending it is to have a wife whe can cook but won't do it” "No,” said his honor, and then added, feelingly: “Thank good ness, man, you haven't one that can't cook and will do it” Time's Changes. “My grandfather.” said the old timer, 'used .o put all his money in his stocking. ’ "Wa-al, things bain t chang . Luuch,” said his old friend. "My grandson, who's takln’ a course In modern deportment at one o' them eastern colleges, puts most of nla mon ey into socks.”—Judge. Long Life of Clocks. Of all machines made by man none can compare for long life with the clock. The life of a clock is as much longer than that of any other ma chinery as the life of a man 1b longer than that of a dog. The French city of Rouen has a great clock which was built in the year 1389 and is still keep ing good time. Except for cleaning and a few necessary repairs It has never stopped during a period of more than five centuries. It strikes the hours and chimes the quarters. Where the Calculator Scores. The best tradition requires that whenever a lightning calculator tella how many seconds there were In the life of Methuselah some one must •hout: "Wrong! You've muffed It this time. I've figured the whole thing out, and here are the figures." Whereupon the lightning calculator re ceives an armful of papers, glances at the first few sheets, looks up, grin ning and chuckles: "Just as I thought. You ve forgotten the leap years." Making a Stove Look New. Aa old etove can be made to look like new by, first of ell, washing it with hot soap suds containing an al kali to cut the grease, etc. Mix with any good etove blacking a teaspoon of turpentine. Apply to stove, and when nearly dry polish in the usual way. The turpentine keeps the blacking from flying. Nickel-work on the stoves can be cleaned by applying wood ash es and vinegar mixed to a pasta. Ap ply, and rub or dust. Zinc: Wash clean., then rub with cloth soaked with ker osene.
