As this is not on ensy thing to do be will flatten mouth nnd nose in his endeavors, while trying to force his face Into the small cup. . Then he will reverse the funnel and blow Into the neclt. nnd when he does not-succeed In extinguishing the light he will blow harder and harder nnd Anally he will admit that he Is beaten. , in blowing through the neck ot the funnel he has directed the funnel di rectly at the light so that the llaniv la exactly opposite to the place where tbe neck of funnel Joins the cup. You, on inking the runnel from him, Incline the funnel so that its upper edge is on u level with tho light. You blow gently. The light Is extinguished ut the first puff without any of the desperate ef fort which your friend put forth. If you ponder a moment you will realize why you succeeded nnd why your friend failed. His brenth on en tering the cup or runnel spread in an directions, and the tiny current or nir was dispensed upward nnd downward, so that, ns he neatly leveled the center of the funnel at the flame, no current of air ever reached It. 1 Yon. on the contrary, hold the upper wall of the funnel on a level with the flame. The current of nir started by your breatn, on reucniug me cuko of the wall, streamed onward in the direction given It by tbe restraining wall and on reaching the flame snuffed It out.-Boston American. .
