as I had to do, you would have had a
right to talk of hard work." "You
never earned your bread nu a section

No, nor you nevor did any steamboat

Water Boat and Water Wheel.
Of course, any boat, unless It hap
pens to be an Iceboat, a stone boat or
The Water Boat Afloat,
a gravy boat, may be called a water
boat; but I am speaking of a boat
driven by water as well as through
water. Its principal parts are a tin
pan and a tall lamp chimney. Close
tho small end of the chimney with n
cork. Into which n rubber, bent glass
or lead tubo Is tightly fitted; prop the
chimney up In the pan with tho small
tubo projecting over the rim, fill tho
chimney with water and set the chim
ney craft afloat.
It will move with the ease nnd grace
of a turtle, though not so fast, until
all tho water has run out. You can
produce a better Imitation of speed by
using, Instead of tho pan, a little wood
en boat or more shipshape model with
tho water tube projecting over tho
Htern, but unless the vessel Is very
broad or beam it will capsize.
In fact, the boat Is made not to go
fast, but to Illustrate a principle by go
ing at all; and another Illustration of
tho same principle is given by the
water mill now to be described.
The mill Is mado of tha same lamp
chimney, or another, with corks or
plugs in both ends. Instead of one
water tubo It has two, three, four or
more, going out like tho Bpokes of a
wheel and bent at tho end all in tho
same direction. The chimney Is Bet
upright between two pivots, which
press against the upper and lower
plugs, and Is filled with water through'
a hole in the upper plug, which also
serves to admit nlr when the mill Is
turning. Tho only uso of tho top plug.
In fact, is to give a point or support,
and the vessel must be open to tho air

at the top. As the water flows out
through the little tubes the mill turns
in the opposite direction, nnd If thero
Is not too much friction nt the pivots
it will soon be spinning rapidly.
Tho water boat and water mill are
examples of what are culled reaction
machines. Tho principle they Illustrato
is that, generally speaking, you can
not move anything without moving
something else in tho opposito direc
tion. In both of these cases as tho
water is forced out in tho direction of
the wator tubo tho boat or tho pnrt of
tho mill from which It flows is driven
In tho opposito direction. Tho recoil
or "kick" of n gun Is nnothor lustra
tion. At the Instnnt of tiring tho gun
moves backward, If It can, and If you
uro holding It against your shoulder
you feel tho icactlon ns a "kick," and
it tho gun Is heavily loaded you may
move bnckwurd with great prompt
ness. A vessel might be propelled by fir
ing heavy cannon from tho shore.
Now, ir your big brother, who Is a
sophomore and nearly full of wisdom,
says that the pressure ot the stream or
water against tho air drives tho water
boat and tho water mill, tell him you
know better.
Tho nlr has nothing to do with It,
and tho llttlo machines would go Just
as well ir thero were no air better,
indeed, as then they would havo no
air friction or resistance to contend
with.
A Present for Papa.
What's tho uso In spending your
money ror a pair or letter scales, whon
you can make a pair ror yourself out
of a sluss Jar and a pleco of stick?
Besides, It will be a dectded novelty
and will excite the wonder or your
rrlcnds, who wilt be sure to give you
credit ror a lot or Ingenuity.
Oct a glass Jar or bottlo with a wide
mouth and pour It nearly full of
water. Then get a piece of round
Btlck about ten Inches In length part
of tho roller of a window shade will
do, or even tho small end of an old
broomstick. Attach a weight to ono
end of tho stick, so thnt when you
put it Into the water in the Jar about
three-fourths or It will bo under wa
ter. On top or tho other end or the
stick tack a small square of card
board, which will be tho platform ot
the scales.
Tho next thing is to put tho ncccs
sary weight marks on tho stick, 'to
do this, borrow rrom somo one, the
druggist or tho grocer n hair-ounce, a
one-ounce, a two ounce and a three
ounce weight. Put the hair-ounce and
a three-ounce weight on tho platrorm
first, nnd note whero tho water comcB
to on tho stick; this you can easily do
because the stick will be wet. Then
take It out of tho water ami mark that
place for your hair-ounce.
Put the stick gently back Into the
wator, and lay tho ounco weight on
the platform, when tho stick will, of
course, sink lower than It did at first.
Tnko It out and mark tho ounco
place, and do this with the twoounco
and tho throe-ounce weight, ono after
the other.
The stick will now be graduated,
showing a half-ounce mark, an ounco
mark, a twoounco mark and a three
ounce mark, and when you aro In
doubt about tho weight or a letter, all
you have to do Is to put It on tho
platrorm, and there you are!
If tho letter weighs one ounce or
less, a two-cent stamp will carry It; If
It weighs even tho least fraction moro

than ono ounce, It will take two two
cent stamps, for the rate Is two cents
for each ounce or fraction thereof,
If it weighs more than two ounces
and not moro than three, It will take
take three two-cent stumps, and so on.
Tight Rope Performer.
If you hold a needle on a plate In
erect position and a magnet at a
certain distance, according to Its
strength, you can let the necalo go
and It will stand erect with a trem
bling motion.
Cut tho rront and back of a small
piece or cardboard and unite both
parts with tho help or corks nnd pins.
Tho rront has a square opening. On
tho back or tho front piece a small
horseshoo magnet Is fastened and un
derneath tho magnet In horizontal di
rection a piece of wire; the height
ot tho wlro depends on the strength
of tho magnet and has to bo arranged
In such a way that tho needle will
not be pulled up to the magnet, but
will stand erect on tho wlro.
Cut small figures of paper, for In

girl standing on one leg, having tho
exact height or tho needle. Fasten
tho flguro to tho needle with tho help
of wax, ob shown In tho Illustration.
Placo tho figures below tho magnet on
tho wlro and you will see them danco

can make a trapeze of a match and

Kate Hassctt, leading woman In the

crime was Jealousy.
