"Little boy.” exclaimed the portly tody, “you ought to be at school in- itead of trying to work a lift.” "I’m not trying to work It." was the answer. “I am working It. and if you wish to ride 1 shall be happy to ac commodate you. So far as au.v obliga tion to be at school Is concerned, allow me to remind you that this is a legal holiday, and I am exempt from at tendance at an Institution where. 1 am pleased to say, I am at the head of my class.” “You have no business trying to —ork that i<e* —” " ” work lift, anyhow. “For what reason?" “Because you are too young to know anything about it.” "Madam, allow me to reassure you This lift Is worked by hydraulic pres sure, the principle relied on being that water exerts pressure In in proportion tn the th* height of a - column _ •__ u >iiiut to rather than i In n proportion *«— * to the *• diameter. - [ 1 n mak- Ing use of this characteristic water Is admitted into a cylinder, the pressure pleasure being regulated by the use of t valves valve* and a stable equilibrium being made possible by an ingenious system of counterpoises.

THE HIPPOPOTAMUS. Ho* the Animal Is Captursd Alivs In ths Sudan. There Is a vast difference between the hunter who kills for pleasure and the hunter whose business It Is to cap ture bls quarry alive. How live hip popotamuses are secured is particularly Interesting. Two methods are resort ed to. The so called hawati. or water hunt ers. of the Sudan, all of whom are ex Manufacturers of cellent and daring swimmers, harpoon their victims at the noon hour, when they are sunk In deep slumber. Then they pull them to the bank by means of a cord attached to the harpoon and there make them fast. The hunters use for this a special kind of harpoon, made In such a way that it does not make a deep wound. Fully three- quarters of the hippopotamuses ex hibited in Europe have been captured In this way. Hippopotamus hunts are also con ducted on land. There advantage Is taken of the fact that the female hip popotamus makes her youug walk In front of her. The reason for this Is that the beast, being well protected in the rear by its abnormally thick skin, prefers to have Its offspring In front, where it can guard them better against danger. But in spite of its affection for its children the mother hippo has Tlie Best li quip peel Saw Mill in the County. no particular desire to meet danger when It comes.
