thought that the little holes you often see in trees are sap buckets 9 that Is just what they are and they are as carefully looked after by the pretty bay bodied sap sucker that you have seen winging

ou would watch in ain to see hlin fly around to his tiny buckets he seems to realize that sunshine and warmth are needed to make the sap run and it you search for him on such a day ou would be almost sure to find him clinging to a tree that he has tapped and hating a good drink of the sweet sap it you should notice that his head Is tipped to one side you may know thit he has gone irto that position in order that the sap may run bad in the corner mouth of falling down his chin plucky youngster the daring exploit of israel putnam entering the wolf s den and then scooting snoot ing the

can turn this habit to good account by asking the smoker to help you perform a pretty little trick which will afford not only amusement but some scientific in the smoker is to undertake to blow smoke into a goblet which you have covered tightly with a plate or saucer it seems quite impossible doean doesn t if you put the plate on the goblet and at the same instant the smoker standing several feet away sends a vigorous puff in the direction of the glass and lo 10 the glass Is filled with a clod of chite e or what looks 1 ke e but it isn t smoke at all it Is a cloud of fine particles of a substance known as sal ammoniac or a or n chlor de which i have probably talen bixel with 1 carice as a rem eav tor ih and 01 ol Is sal ammoniac is a comno nd of am nionia and in r hydrochloric ac d

really and the liquid gas chich you ut in tl e glass is a solution of it these two gases evaporate from their solutions come together and comb ne to form the cloud of solid white particles of sal ammoniac which looks so much 1 ke smoke 1 hat the sal ammoniac Is solid may be proved b letting the glass stand undisturbed until the white powder has settled down on the bottom here you have a solid

that always gives considerable amusement is threading a needle on a four quart measure the measure must be perfectly smooth without handles or rim the con seats himself upon the curved side of this and raises the heel of one foot to the toe of the other and in that pos t on attempts to put a thread through the eye of an ordinary needle so long as he 1 beeps one hand upon the floor he Is all right but just let him lift that hani even with the end of the thread twisted smooth and stiff and the eye of the needle made ready to receive it and he is alfoot sure to topple aver without succeeding it s simple enough to the spectator but the proof is in trying it himself now and then some well balanced tel ow will accomplish the feat suppose ou try it J putting an egg into a bottle an
