Few people know wbat a wonderful object a bit of chalk la wbeu examined uuder a mivruacope. Take your knife blade and scrape off a little of tbe loose powder, catch It on a clean glass slide and place thia on the stage of a good table microscope. Use a quarter inch objective leua and Illuminate the field with a cone cf light from the cuucave Bide of tbe reflector. The pow der will be seen to consist of a con fused muse uf beautiful tiny sheila, many of them of tbe most curious form. A better way. however, is to rub down a portion of chalk with an old toothbrush In a tumbler half filled with water, if you desire to prepare several slides rub on about a teaspoon ful of the powder. Shake tbe tumbler briskly, allow the sedlmeut to settle for a moment and then carefully pour off the milky looking water. Repeat this until tbe wuter remains clear, and you will then have left in tbe bottom ouly perfect shells or large parts of shells. Take up a small pinch of this deposit and spread It carefully over the center of a glass slide. Dry over u lamp and If you wish to pre serve tbe slide for future use mount It la Canada balsam, pressing out tbe bfibblee of air beneath the cover glass. MECHANICAL INGENUITY. Wanted His Money Back. It 1« au old saying ibat "you cannot «it your cage aud have It too.” But u seasick iiersou usually cares little for either side of the proiamition. The caplalu <>f <>ue of the steamships ply ing tietweeu this country aud Italy, which arrived at New York with over Uno Immigrants, tells a rather asuus ing story of a heated Interview held between himself and one of them on tbe voyage across. The vessel had lieen out a few days and bad encountered some heavy seas. The first morning that calmer weather prevailed oue of the steerage passen gers ap|s*ared for tbe first time above deck aud with a face as white as a sheet approached tbe captain. "This has got to stop!” he said an grily. "What has?” asked tbe captain, in surprise. "Thia feeliug of death. When I bought my ticket 1 was told It In cluded tuesIs, but 1 cau't keep my food down. Now. It baa got to stop, cap tain. or else I want my passage money back. You cauuot break your contract In this fashion with me" It took all the captain's Ingenuity to pacify him during the rest of tbe trip. — Youths Companion. No Chance For the Truth. "Be truthful." said the teacher. "Always?" asked the boy. "Always.” answered the teacher. "Never tell a lie?” "Never.” "Not even a white lie?” "Not even a white lie.” "Huh.” ejaculated the Ind scorn fully, "ft's u mighty good thing fur you you ain't a boy with my dad for a father!" "Why?" asked the teacher. "Because." replied the boy. "If you was my dad's little boy, and you'd beard what be said about Aunt Eliza coinin' to visit us wltb her children. Slid Aunt Eliza bad asked you If you weren't ull glad to see her. and you'd told tbe truth, like I did. you'd think there waa u place where your trousers was mighty thin after dad hud fin ished with you." He went back to bl, desk. and ax he sat down wltb great care there was an expression on bla face that showed the great lesson of truth bail been, at least In a measure, lost on him.—London Tit-Bits. DROPS OF WATER. : Thrown Upon a Rsdhot Stove. They Will Never Touch It. It is Impossible to throw a few drops of water on a redbot stove. Tbe wa ter can never touch the store at all. What is seen is a few drops rolling rapidly over the surface, gradually getting smaller until they disappear, if tbe drops are ou a perfectly level place oue cau see under them to tbe other side of the room, thus proving that they are not in contact with the stove Itself. What actually hapjieiis is that the bottom of the drop cbauges at once to steam or vapor on coming close to the hot surface, and this vapor Is supplied by the drop as it gradually goes away. So the drop rests ou a cushion of va por until it is entirely dissipated. Tills state of water is known as the spheroi dal state and Is of Interest simply on account of Its peculiarity nnd seeming ly paradoxical behavior. The reason why the drop Is not im mediately evaporated or changed to steam Is also very Interesting. The water vapor that Intervenes tietweeu its under surface and tbe redbot stove Is a very bad conductor of heat, and consequently the full Intensity of the hent cannot get to tbe water Itself, only the amount transmitted through the vajHir being available for this pur pose.—St. Louis Republic.
