Any Old Thing 8erve n4 Klondikers For HlIhg NMtl9tv Persons wbft are uetostoumd lo ob serve ther extreme care, .with which tnulfWij turndlo gold would Oe aston Ww! by, the lax methods of the men who risk their lives for the precious metal in sparsely settled . regions where it Is mined. In the log cabins in which Klondlk ers live It has to take Its chance along with boots, cooking utensils and pro visions, waiting to be transported by the most expeditious route. Any re ceptacle, it seems, is good enough tn hold gold. Old tobacco canB and fruit and vegetable cans stund full of nug gets on the shelves. -and sacks of golo. dust are flung upon the floor. On one occasion a little pack train of three mules brought to Dawson City $120,000 worth of gold In com mon sncks. over which the mule driv er, acting on his own responsibility, fastened n bit of sailcloth, lest a mule falling on a rock or against a brunch should accidentally rip' open a suck niul spill the contents. The whole lot was thrown with other goods Into the pucker's otllce mid left there until the I'ollowltiK morning. At another time .$10,000 worth was sent down on one horse. The packer In charge did not know who bad Riven It to him ami there was no'-slgn of ownership nttaWied. It was identified by the fact, that within the hirgoi sack of dust was n small sack of no? eels. ' . - The hags are not sealed, but merely tied with n leather thnmr nr n bit of twlno.

Rut If warm air, well loaded with moisture, is sud denly cooled the sponge Is 'squeezed tv.ii the moisture falls out as rain. Many years ago some hopeful gen tlemen went to one of our nrld-rcKlon and exploded n lot of dynamite on the theory that the concussion would mix the strata of warm air near the vnrO ivlth the cooler strata above and so cause the necessary precipitation of moisture. There happened to be light showers about the time of the experi ments, which encouraged the experi menters, but didn't convince anybody else. The fact Is that nature's rnlnmakiiit? machine Is too gigantic to be affected by the puny offirrts of humans at least by any methods so far discovered. Nature pumps the moisture laden air tip Into the cold regions of the tipper atmosphere with a wheel a thousand miles In dlamoter. When this tre mendous wheel of nir Is revolving nor mally it hoists millions of tons of wh ter vapor to an elevation whore, it en" no longer be curried tn solution ani so falls in rain. . When the wheel is off adjustment It Is as futile to .bombard the sky with dynamite as It would be to fire popgun corks nt the side of the latest Dread nought. Kansas City Star. A' Forgetmenot.

That the Earth Revolves on Its Axis May Be Proved by a Simple Experi ment With the Gyrostat Phenomena of Rapidly Revolving Objects, Spinning a top Is not always child's play, although It has generally been re garded as a Juvenile sport. Once' in Euglund top whipping was practically ordered by law. There was a huge top formerly provided in every village to be whipped in frosty weather that tile peasants might lie kept warm by the exercise and out of mischief whili they could not work. .Shakespeare Iti "Twelfth Night" says. "His brains turn like a parish p." Hen .luuson In "Now Inn" writes", "J Jo spins like a parish topr." and Heaim,.nnt land Fletcher have "dances like a tnVn MP and reels and hobbles." Evelyn,- j!;; diarist, speaking of the uses ol wllfitv Wood, says that It was ordered (hat "the great town tops should be made thereof." Of late" years, however, science has Jnken a band' In spinulug tops with frultfnr results- I'roin spinning tp we can lenTrt tiiilhj InterttiiO', ' ,' , vfllunMe things.- Vofmpie.e t.lm prow tbaj, the, &h revolves on Its axis nnjLciilfuinte at, wbat speed. Tb; pucnomeitfl of spinning bodies hre extremely interesting, .if you throw your, tint Into the air. but without spin ning It. it will fail perhaps on one side. ' perhaps on the other, but if you give it a spinning motion before sending It into the air it will always come down the same side down as It went up. The same thing Is true of coins and in fact of all objects spun in this manner. A knife, if merely thrown into the air, may come down at any angle, but If held point down and sent spinning Inte the air It will on falling stick its point into the floor invariably. Other bodies acquire rigidity when spun rapidly. Thus a piece of chain If placed on a wheel and made to re volve rapidly will form a' perfect circle and If thrown off the wheel suddenly will roll across the table or the Boor Just like a solid hoop until Its speed Is diminished, when It will fall Into a huddled muss. It is a strange fact that spinning hndles always tend to point to the I north star the pole star. Gently, but firmly, they seem to tug at their moor ings In an effort to assume the angle that will point them In thut direction Once they have attained It -they do not vary. - If. now. you want to prove the rota tlon of the earth by means of a spin ning top you can do so as follows Provide yourself with a gyrostat capa ble of being driven by. electricity so that It can run for twenty-four hours or more without stopping. Set this gn Ing and point It to the north or pol star it will soon assume that dlree tlnn.. .Now, as the axis of the top tc pointed In n certain direction isay the north wall of the roonn and stays there, without ever moving, this will be a guide to you to check off your oh serrations And as you watch you will notice that In six hours' time the top will point to the west iiuil six hem later to the south, six hours later to fie east, and at the conclusion of the twenty-four hours It will have cqjnplct ert the circle and will again be point Ing due north. It will have completed the circuit of tint four walls of the room What does this mean? It means that the room has revolved round the top but as the room is fixed to the solid earth It Implies that the whole earth has revolved round the top. .which alone remained stationary. Const quently we have proved by this means that the earth has turned ,once round on Its axis, and that It does so turn and that the heavens remain still and stationary. Many Interesting astronomical' dls coverles have been made by the aid of spinning tops, and the facts obtain ed by their study have been applied I" the rotation of heavenly bodies, tin earth Included, and the "wabble" of It axis has been calculated by this means In many ways, therefore, the splnnlm: top is a valuable scientific Instrument -Herewurd Carrlugton in New York World. , .
