First, the model is covered with a thick layer of pasteboard in a moist state. When it is dry, a sharp knife is passed around it so as to separate the pasteboard coat into two hemispherical shells, which are then taken olf the model and united at the cut edges with glue. The hollow sphere thus formed is the skeleton of the globe tiiat is to be. The next tiling is to cover it with a coating of white enamel about one-eighth of an inch in thickness. When this is done, the ball is turn jd into a perfect roundness by a machine. The iron rod running through the center of the original model and projecting at both ends through the surface has left holes in the new globe, which serve for the north and south poles, and through those a metal axis is run to represent the axis of the earth. Then the surface is marked off with pencil lines into mathematical segments corresponding precisely in shape with the sections of map that arc to be pasted on. These map sections are made from copper plates in just the size and shape re quired to fit the globe that they are intended for, one set, of course, cov- j ering the entire spherical surface. They are printed, many of them, like dress patterns, on sheets of the finest linen paper, and are cut out carefully with a sharp pointed knife, j When they have been pasted on, the different countries are tinted by hand with water colors. There is no special rule for this except that. I contrasts arc aimed at as a help to the eye of the user. Finally the whole is overlaid with a brilliant white varnish, which is of almost metallic hardness and will wear in definitely without scratching or los ing its brightness.—Milwaukee Sen tinel. Ants on "Horseback." A French explorer, M. Charles Meissen, in traveling through Siam observed a species of small gray auts i which were new to him. These ants were much engaged in i traveling. They lived in damp places and went in troops. • To his surprise, ho noticed among them from time to time an occa sional ant which was much larger than the others and moved at a much swifter rate, and each of these larger ants, M. Meissen saw, always carried one of the gray ants on its back. This discovery led him to watch their movements closely. He soon saw that while the main body of gray ants was always on 1 foot they were- accompanied by at ! least one of their own sort mounted on one of these larger ants, lie mounted and detached himself now and then from the line, rode rap idly to the head, came swiftly hack to the rear and seemed to he the commander of the expedition. The explorer was satisfied from his observation that this species of ant employs a larger ant —possibly a drone of the same species, though he had no means of proving this— us we employ horses to ride upon, though scarcely more than one ant in each colony seems to he provided with a mount. MiNjii lilted. "Now you know, Ilcnry," she said re- [ proachfully, "that you had to propose to me three times before you eouhl get me to say yes."

Bears the Kind You Have Always Bought 557 CASTOniA. Bears the KM H®'' o Always Bought T" I GOLD LEAF PACKINQ. " Leaves of Printed Books Preferably Used For That Purpose. "Here is something I wish to in j quire about," said a gentleman to a dealer in artists' materials as he ' j held out a tiny booklet for the'lat j ter's inspection. "I bought this ! book of English gold leaf of you a j few days ago, and on turning the ■ slats of paper between the leaves I ! ! discovered that they contained por ' | tions of the Scripture and seemed to '. have been cut from various parts of • the Bible." • | "So they were," answered the | dealer, "but there is nothing ex , | traordinary about that fact when I you understand it. All English 1 gold leaf as a regular matter of ' business is packed in little hooks made tip of pages of Bible cut to the requisite size and stitched to i gether. I "No preparation is intended, but j the practice of packing the material .! in this way is a well established eus j torn. The Bible is selected for the | purpose because as a general thing j the type is more evenly set and the \ printing finer and better executed than in other books. : j "Printed paper has always been in general use for packing the sheets of gold leaf. The slight in dentations made by the type serve to keep them more firmly in place. 1 They slip when packed between plain sheets. The Book of Common Prayer is also employed for the : same purpose and the same reason. "Gold leaf hooks are made lip from the sheets in which they leave j the press and before they are fold i ed."—Washington Star. Boiling Water. It may seem presumptuous to suggest that few people know how i to boil water, hut such is the case, j The boiling point under ordinary atmospheric pressure (sea level) is 212 degrees F. This point changes according to the altitude. When bubbles form on the bottom of the kettle, come clear to the surface and rupture quietly, without making ail ebullition, we have simmering. At this point the thermometer should register 180 degrees P., and it is at this temperature that we cook meats and make soups. When the bubbles begin to form on the sides and surface of the. vessel and come ! toward the top of the water, there , is a motion in the water, hut it lias not really reached the boiling point. It is only when the thermometer reaches 212 degrees F. and the wa ter is in rapid motion that it can I he said to boil, and the atmospheric 1 gases still continue to he given olf I with the steam for a considerable time after the water lias commenced to boil rapidly. In fact, it is diffi ; cult to determine when the last | traces have been expelled. It is safe to suppose, however, that ten minutes' boiling will free the water from its gases, make it tasteless and render it unfit for the making of tea, coffee or other light infusions of delicate materials.—Mrs. S. T. Korer in Ladies' Home Journal. Able to Prove Widowerhood. A convict at a French penal set tlement who was undergoing a life sentence desired to marry a female convict, such marriages being of common occurrence. The govern- I or of t lie colony offered no ohjee j tion, hut the priest proceeded to ex amine the prisoner. "Did you not marry in France?" i he asked, j "Yes." "And your wife is dead ?" "She is." "Have you any documents to show that she is dead?" > "Xo." "Then I must decline to marry you. You must produce some proof that your wife is dead." There was a pause, and the bride prospective looked at the would be groom. Finally he said, "I can prove that my former wife is dead." "How will you do so ?" "I was sent here for killing her." The bride accepted liini notwith standing.—Edinburgh Scotsman. Dcing a Good Business. A woman while shopping one day thoughtlessly picked up an umbrei j la belonging to another woman and started to walk off with it. The ' owner stopped her, and the absent minded woman, with many apolo gies, returned the umbrella. The incident served to remind her I that they needed some umbrellas in her own family, so she bought two for her daughters and one for her j 6olf. Later in the day when she was on i her way home armed with the three umbrellas she happened to glance up and saw directly opposite her in the car the very woman with whom she had had the unfortunate expe rience in the morning. The second woman stared at the three umbrellas very hard for sev } eral minutes, and then, with a sig ' nificant smile, she leaned forward . and said in an icy tone, "I see you | have had a successful mornintr." THE ART OF SETTING-UP. Rules by Which to Improve Your Fig ure and Bearing. How quickly one can distinguish j an army or navy officer on the \ street, though he is a stranger! How many would give a fortune to possess such a figure and bearing! j And yet almost any one who has j not some natural deformity can ac quire it by observing a few simple rules and practicing a few easy ex ! ereiscs. As you know, it takes but | a few weeks or months of discipline I and drill to change uncouth, | slouchy, raw recruits iuto fine, erect and dignified soldiers, j Always, when standing or walk ! ing, hold yourself as erect as possi | ble. Throw the shoulders back and I down, elevate the chest a little and draw the chin in a trifle. When I standing, the weight of the body ! should fall upon the ball of the foot, neither upon the heel nor the | toe. j No one can have a good figure j without throwing the chest well for ward, the shoulders back and down and carrying the body in an erect position. Follow these simple rules strictly, and you will greatly im prove your figure and hearing. Do not bend the legs too much when walking and let the weight fall slightly more on the heel first. I Swing the arms naturally, but not | too much. Bo careful not to boh up and j down when walking. A graceful I walker seems to glide easily along. Curves are always graceful, and an angular, jerky movement is always ungainly. Grace is an acquirable quality, hut we must remember that nature abhors angles and spas modic movements. She always uses l curves which are most graceful and j delicate. The reason why woman is more beautiful than man is because her form is made up of graceful curves. | There are no angles whatever in a model female figure.—Success. • Cutting Them Down. A London man recently ordered a pair of trousers from his tailor. On trying them on tlicy proved to be several inches too long. It being late on Saturday night, the tailor's shop was closed, so the man took the trousers to his wife and asked her to cut six inches off and horn them over. The good lady, whose dinner had perhaps disagreed with her, brusquely refused. | The same result followed an ap ! plication to the wife's sister and the i eldest daughter. But before bed ■ time the wife, relenting, took the j pants and, cutting six inches from j the legs, hemmed them up nicely j and returned them to the closet. Half an hour later her daughter, I taken with compunction for her un | filial conduct, took tlie trousers, cut ! off six inches, then hemmed and re j placed them. Finally the sister-in law felt the pangs of conscience, and she, too, performed an addition al surgical operation on the garment. When the poor fellow appeared at breakfast on Sunday, the family thought a highland chieftain hud arrived.—London Answers. Burns From a Cold Substance. That a man can sustain serious burns from a small quantity of cold mineral substance carried in his pocket seems almost too absurd for belief, yet there is no doubt that litis paradoxical accident has taken place. It is now well known that Roentgen rays, if sufficiently in tense and in sufficiently long dura tion, exercise a destructive action upon the skin, which peels off and leaves an open sore that is slow to heal. The similar rays given out by certain minerals and called Bec queral rays, after their discoverer, j now appear to be capable at very j short range of inflicting "burns" also. It lias been announced that j the invisible rays emitted by radi j urn, one of these substances, have j an especially active effect upon the human skin.—Literary Digest. Deep Water Fishes. It is said by scientists that fishes and mollusks living at a depth of more than three miles under water have to hear a pressure of several tons, the weight being that of the superincumbent brine, which exerts its power from all sides. The rea son they are able to hoar this tre mendous weight is because they have exceedingly loose tissues, which al low the water to flow through every i interstice, thus equalizing the weight. When the pressure is re moved, they die almost instantly. Origin of "Uncle Sam." During the last days of the Rcv j olution there was a contractor nam ed Samuel Wilson who received the stores for the army and navy of the United States, and when such were I sent to him they bore the letters J "U. S." for United States. Some one asked the meaning of those let ters, and an individual responded that as all the goods came to Sam Wilson they stood For Uncle Sam. In that way Uncle Sam was applied ' to the United States. The SPORTING WORLD An Eskimo Football Flay*'*. Nikifer Shoncluik is tli formidable patronymic of one of the recent addi tions to the Carlisle Indians' football team. Slionehuk is an Eskimo, and Coach Glen S. Warner of the aborigine eleven has a high opinion of his ability aa a pigskin chaser. Nikifer Is strong and enduring, and he appeals to have mastered most of the technicalities of the game. The NIK I FEB SHONCHUK. THE ESKIMO L'LAVEB. comparatively warm climate here in the United States places the Eskimo under a handicap, but he is gradually becom ing used to the change. The arctic zoner was originally cut out for a sailor, but lie concluded to ob tain an academic education and accord ingly entered the Carlisle school. Titn A to Go to Ilenlcy. American oarsmen are keenly inter ested in the proposition which lias at tained quite some proportions to send Charles S. Titus, a member of the Union Boat club of New York, to lion ley next year to compete for the Dia mond Sculls. Titus, who originally hailed from New Orleans, gained prominence last year when he won the association sin gle scull race in the regatta of the Na tional Association of Amateur Oars men, which victory practically declares him as the champion amateur sculler of America. E. 11. Ten Eyck Is really the cham pion, but he has announced his deter mination to retire from rowing compe tition, thus leaving Titus the next in order. Titus' ambition for some time lias been to compete for the Diamond Sculls, and when he won the championship race last summer the Union Boat club honored him with a life membership In the club. Now the club is desirous of doing still more for Its champion, and if It can possibly he accomplished a general subscription list will he started in the club for the purpose of raising funds to defray Titus' expenses to Eng land next summer for the greatest scull ing event in amateur rowing. PillMhury uml Lnskcr, Harry N. Pillsbury, the American chess champion, was interviewed re cently with regard to the report from England that he had challenged Dr. Laskcr to a match for the world's championship. In reply to the state ment that the report had appeared In Dasher's own column In a Manchester paper, Pillsbury said that be had sent no formal challenge. "There is, how ever," he added, "a perfect understand ing between Dr. Laskcr uiul myself in regard to a match in the future." lie declined to commit himself any fur ther, hut stated that he expected to sail for England about the end of the year and that the time to he set for the match would depend entirely on cir cumstances. The presumption is that Pillsbury and Laskcr will suit each other's convenience as much as pos sible and make the time lit in with the international tournaments to he held in Europe next year. Wtnton'M Anto Record. As It is contrary to all athletic prece dents to accept intermediate mile times during a trial as being the figure for one mile, the Automobile Club of Amer ica probably will decline to accept the record of Winton, made during the third mile of his ten mile journey. The time was 1:0<> 2-5, while the time for the first mile was 1:00 4-5. The dar ing Cleveland motorist may receive general credit for his fastest mile, but the last mentioned figure will he ac cepted as the one mile record. Automobile Club* Increnwe. A compilation of the automobile clubs organized to date shows that thirty-three organizations of America are devoted exclusively to the inter ests of automohllisin. Additional re ports doubtless will Increase the nuni 'ber to about forty. Without exception, every title includes the words "auto mobile club." , Seloo nnd Teniioy. Frank Selee's advice to the Boston National club is to play Cooley at first In preference to allowing Tenney to work the club for big money. Selee has no earthly use for Tenney, who lias managerial ambitions. lliilitTn Mode.it (!) Demand.
