Not many people know why tbey ran walk on the water. The pond skater really walks on pneumatic floats. There nre tiny hairs on the feet of this Insect, so fine that tliry cannot he seen, that are arranged to collert air. The amount collected in and ahout these hall's Is sufficient to allow the Insect to float or wnlk upon the surface of the water. As each foot Is put down It forms a cuplike depres sion or tiny pit in the water. The foot does not sink been use the uir bubble that has been formed is too light to let It. A tine covering of hair protects the water spider, too, and even if It is sub merged in the water it Is never really wet. The hair keeps n layer of air be tween its body and the water. It looks like a white pearl "when below the sur face. The scientific name of this curl vus Insect is the Vella currens. Cul tngo Tribune. Lightship Risks, It would seem that the perils of a lightship crew In n galo exceed even those of a lighthouse keeper. Mr. Tnl lot, in his "Lightships and Light houses." gives an example of the havoc played by one Atlantic wave in the case of the lightship that guards the terrible rocky fangs known as tho "Seven Stones," which lie between Land's End and the Scllly isles: "Once a wave tumbled aboard, crash ed a man against the pump, knocked him half senseless; picked up the life boat and threw it against the deck house, end in so doing caught another member of the crew, mauling his thigh badly in passing. Two out of the seven men forming the crew were thus put liors de combat by a single wuve." The lightship Is a Itritish ideu, and the first ever used was placed in the mouth of the Thames in 1713.

Elm, Oil City, Pa. Salt and Fresh Water Lakes. Fresh water lakes are always only jxpanslons of rivers, due to the par- Icular topographical configuration of i valley. They nre all characterized by the fact that the water that they re ceive runs out either continuously or Intermittently and that the chemical onsitutlon of their water remains constantly the same as that of the streams and livers of the same region. Salt lakes, on the other hand, are al ways closed basins, without outlet, and their water Is removed only by surface evaporation. These facts being well understood, we see at once why the former lakes contain fresh water and the others salt water. Water is na ture's great solvent. Hardly a single uibstnnce. simple or compound, es- apes its dissolving action. Conse quently the Water that flows over the earth's surface or in Its depths con tains constantly in solution substances 1'iat finally accumulate in the great loiumon reservoir, the ocean, whose mas, removed only by evaporation, becomes more and more charged with sr.lino mntter. Peculiar Japanese Rite. Segltora temple. In the province of Ise, Japan, Is tho scene each July of n peculiar rite dedicated to tho wor ship of Acalanatha. the faithful serv ant of Buddha. The rite Is known as a "goma" (a corruption of Sanskrit "homa") or "burning." Buddha taught that the cause of suffering is desire, and therefore the priests of the Shin Bon. a Japanese sect of Buddhism, kin dle n fire to consume all human desires, at the same time offering prayers to Acalanatha. In one matter the rite may be said to defeat Its own ends, for it attracts a crowd of farmers full of desire to obtain embers or ashes from the fire which is supposed to have consumed all desires. The tradi tion Is that the possession of an ember or ashes from the sacred lire Insures u farmer good crops the nest autumn. Argonaut. A Strict 8ense of Duty.

When William of Tree Fern made up to Kato Itynn the moon was bright and tho weather was feeling good. He escorted her home over the two mile road, nnd never a word said he but "It's n bonzer night for ' possums, Kate." Next night lie met her again and toured the same remark into her shell like car. This went on for a week, and Kate bore it patiently, In the belief that when the moon waned and dork ness was upon the earth and the sins thereof. William would be more ex plicit. So one dark night she encouraged him all she could, but without making her bashful lover loosen his tongue un til the Journey home wns nearly. com pleted. Then he blurted it out "Kate," he said, "er" "Yes. William," she murmured. "Er a bloke wouldn't have a dorg's chance with the pos sums tonight!". That settled Bill. Sydney Bulletin.

Kean's Suggestion. When Charles Ivean was playing the part of Richard the Third his fearful grimaces almost frightened the other actors out of their wits. . One night a new man took the character of the sen tinel who awoke Richard." When asked, "Who Is there?" he should have taken up the cue with the words: "Tls I, my lord.

"""I'ls I, my lord, 'tis I, my lord; the-Ahe village cock!" He repeated this three or four times, so that when Kean said, "Then why on earth don't you -crow?" the audience was convulsed with laughter. Something Wrong.
