EXPLODING A THEORY.
A WINNING TRICK.
The Practical Method Adopted by a
French Scientiet.
At the beginning of tbe nlueteen'.h
century the French Academy of Sei-
•lues offered to give a prize to the
first person who would solve the fol
lowing problem: If you lake a viihc
full of water mid put a stone or any
similar Isidy III It the water will Dow
over. If. however, you put Into it a
fish the volume of which Is etplill to
th it of tile slope. It will Hot flow over.
Explain this phenomenon.
|.enrin-d essays on tbe subject IHitir-
cd In from all quarter», but lhe pro fa
lem was iml satisfactorily solved in
uu.v of them. nod consequently tbe
prize whs not nwarded.

He Loet All Hie Bets and Made Money
by Doing So.
The captain of one rather old and
slow steamer of years ngo. ttodlng that
he would have to be a long time In
Chiun before be received a full cargo
of tea aud would have probably to re
turn lu ballast. began, to every oue a
astonishmeut. to say that, owing to
the repulra that bad been done to bis
engines, tie bo|>ed to make a racing
passage bsck lo England. Then, still
more to the astonishment of the cap-
Ulua of the fast Steamers aud the
world nt large. Ue commenced to ba- k
himself to make the fuatest passage
home.
In such very considerable ruins of
money did he wager that people be
gan tn think there was something in
It. and the men bants scut their leu
almost entirely to Ilia ship, arguing
! that as the captain atimd to lose l-’.'*u
the repairs to bls steamer's engines
hail probably put him In n position to
bet almost <>ti a certainty.
Of course Hie steamer, whose great
est s|>eed was eight knots an hour, ar
rived In Englund weeks after the oth
ers. and the captain lost tt’.'Si. Inti In
stead of having to lie lu China wail

weeks, he hud cleared ID a few davs
