Anna Maria Porter. pound of lead or a pound of feathers?" Is not quite such a joke as It seems at first glance. Archimedes taught us the truth that a body Immersed In a liquid or gas receives an upward push equal to the weight of the liquid or the gas It displaces. Suppose we arrange a bal ance so that one of its arms can be Introduced under the bell of an air pump, and place upon each of Its arms a weight, say one pound, both weights made of the same size. They will ex actly balance each other. If we ex haust the air from under the bell, pro ducing a vacuum, we remove the up ward push, and the arm of the balance that is in the vacuum descends. If on the contrary we compress the air under the bell we make the displaced air weigh more and consequently the upward push is Increased and this arm of the balance ascends. It Is manifest that the greater amount of air displaced the greater will be the upward push. Suppose now we balance a pound of lead on one arm and a pound of feathers on the other. They will, of course, exactly equal each other in ordinary air, for they were both weighed in ordinary air. Now let us put the whole apparatus, Including both weights, under an air pump. The pound of feathers dis places far more air than the pound of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. Constipation is the cause of many diseases.

John Benham, a well-known Wiscon sin guide, who had been commissioned to capture a huge deer alive for a pri vate game preserve near Hurley, Wis., has captured the biggest deer ever taken alive In that state a six-prong, 300-pound buck by the simple expedi ent of using opium pellets Instead of the usual lead bullets In hunting. Ben ham had a druggist make him the shot he wanted a mixture of gum arable, flour paste and opium. Then he went to watch for the deer, which all of the guides had, because of its size, refused to allow hunters to kill. When he saw the big fellow he cut loose with his gun, and he caught up with the deer two hours later, when it had fallen asleep in some balsams. When the deer woke up it had been boxed.

When the mink was finally killed he still re tained the trout, which measured 14 Inches In length, In his mouth.
