before matches were quite so common as they are now and indeed in some country places today lamp lamplighters lighters Y ere used I 1 for lighting lamps and candles and even gas jets they are made ot of strips of newspaper about 18 inches long and inches wide which are made into rather close rolls beginning at one corner the end last finished Is turned over to prevent the strip from unrolling and when the lighter Is needed for the purpose intended it a I 1 Is lighted at a fire make a number of these lighters and then try these few tricks with them keeping away from draughts while so doing and having a scuttle or a dish of water nearby in which to t drop them then when rhen charred j hold one of the lighters in a slanted position with the end farthest from your hand point pointing lEg downward light the lower end and as the flame burns upward a tongue of flame will re main burning at the lower charred a end 1 it if you blow t this flame out leaving the upper one stall burning a stream of smoke will take the place of the extinguished flame this smoke smoked you ican t can light like gas for the second trick leave the up per end odthe of the lighter open instead of folding it down and hold the lighter at that end to prevent it from unroll ing now 1 the lower end and the flame will move upward no flame re at the charred end instead the smoke will pour out of 0 the upper open end and it may be lighted there as before it was at the lower end like gas it if you will now repeat this last trick at the same time holding the charred end over the mouth of a wide mouthed bottle and watch for the mo wo ment when the smoke begins to pour 4 lighting the bottled smoke out of the upper end a third exper ment may be made As you see the streaming out pinch the upper end and it U will be forced back and will issue out of the lower charred end without burning and enter the bottle which it will fill if you touch a flame to the smoke in the bottle it will ignite with a sudden flash in the way lust just described fill a bot tie tle with smoke and cover it letting it subside repeat this filling the bot hot tie tle and letting the smoke subside tor for seven ar eight times you will find as a result a collection of several drops of yellow liquid now heat these drops over a flame on a tin space box and smoke will again be produced that you may burn as before novel

hold the candle steady and it will burn until nothing remains always rising above the sur face of the water by reason of the de crease in weight 2 take a small picture cut from a paper or book and wrap it lightly round a candle light a match or an other candle and hold the flame near until it becomes transparent unwrap the picture and every one will be sur to find it printed on the candle 3 put a canale unlighted into a ba basin sin full of water ater let several try to take it out with their mouths not touching the candle with their hands here are some interesting expert ments made with the sense of hear ing blindfold one of the party and have him sit in a chair with his arms told fold ed take two coins and hold them together between the thumb and the first finger of your right hand place a finger of your left hand between the coins so that when you pull it away annay suddenly the coins will snap together with a clicking sound now moye to different parts of the room and make the blindfolded one guess the direction from which the sound comes As long as it is nearer one ear car than the other he to will be ho able to guess but if you hold the coins equidistant hom both his ears he cannot tell yoi may hold the coins over his head or before I 1 is face and it if his hearing be good n both ears and the coins snap at the same d stance from each ear each ipe he wip fill not be able to tell the difference in the post ton for a second experiment get an iron or steel poker and a piece of twine about three feet long tie the middle of the twine to the knob of the polder poker and twist an end of the twine around the first finger of each hand now stop your ears with these two eve every y one e will fail fall then you put 5 our face e in the water and when your mouth is near the end of the candle draw in a deep breath and the sue tion of the water will draw the candle into your mouth 4 allow some drops from a lighted candle turned up side downto tall fall into a basin of cold water the grease will form flowers string these on the end of a wire and green leaves made from paper and a very interest ing plant w mill ill be the result 5 heat a piece of wire and stick it through the middle of a candle make malte a wick at both ends balance the can die dle on two tumblers light the wicks and the dropping of the candle grease will make the candle sea saw getting faster and taster faster as it grows hotter this Is a very pretty experiment and will cause a great deal of amusement to young and old ola all e un natural history the juvenile members of a certain school were taken to the zoological gardens the object of this treat was to improve their minds on the fol lowing day each boy had to write an essay on any animal ne had seen one budding genius chose the lion for the subject of his essay and wrote as tol fol lows lions always walk except when they eat and then they growl their roar is most terrifying to men and other beasts when heard in the forest but when they are in cages it sounds like they were sorry about something their tails are not as long as the mon keys according to their size but keep switching all the time and the seals can make just as loud a noise and have in x e fun in the water they are cats no matter what you think and their size has nothing to do with it and they think without talking once a donkey stole a lion s sam and went around bragging about it but ut the other donkeys got on ta him because he talked so much that showed he was a donkey keep still when you are thinking A can ne hero there may be handsomer dogs t than 11 an don but there surely are no braver don is a hero and he wears the story of his heroism about his neck this is it last fall while fierce storms were raging about the coast of great britain the german schooner maria was driven ashore on the aberdeen coast during a particularly bad gae gale there seemed to be no help for the crew as ropes thrown out to them were only swept away finally don came to the rescue he swam oat after a terrific st struggle with the waves which very nearly swamped swamp d him and caught hold of a piece of wood which had been thrown into the sea with a rope attached to it the vice president of the national canine defense league presented don with a silver collar on it is an inscription telling how he saved the crew of the schooner don is six years old and comes of good stock his fataei belna famous prize winner ODD WAYS OP OF HEARING fingers and leaning forward slightly so as to start the poker swinging let the poker strike some object or the wall or let some one strike the poker with some object and you will hear sounds like the deep tones of a bell rich and musical you may use a silver spoon instead of the poker but the sounds prod ic ed though higher and sweeter will not be so full this pretty exper experiment 1 as tonis hes every one who makes it for the third experiment get a piece of thread gibout bout seven or eight feet long and wax it the whole length with sewing wax let one person bold the two ends of the thread to 40 test ng the ears blindfolded his ears v while hile anothy r person catches it in the middle and holds it taut now let a third person take hold of the double thread near the face of the one holding the ends to his ears and placing them between Us his thumb and forefinger rub along the thread back and forth the person who wao Is hold ing the ends to hig hia earp ear will hear a sound like thunder and it if the finger nail be used now and then to rub the thread or the rubbing be done in jerks the sounds will be like short and cracking thunder if it the thread be a little shorter say about six feet the experiment may be made by two persons instead of by three |
