We smelt the smell of the hay tn bloom And the miles of the scented hay When the greensward broke into flush and foam Out on the King’s Highway. We heard the sound of the feeding kine When dews ran silver and gray, ‘The sweets of the night were better than wine Out on the King’s Highway. Now he has taken the road alone And I have no heart to stay I would that I with my Love were gone Out on the King’s Highway —Katharine Tynan, in The King’s High- way. MAKE PERFECT SMOKE RINGS An Amusing Experiment With Use of Pasteboard Box and Cigarette or Pipe Smoke. Take a small pasteboard box, seal the cover tight and draw a funny face upon its cover. Cut an opening for the mouth and fill the box with smoke, Then, with quick, light taps, strike the bottom of the box and a series of perfect smoke rings will Is- aue from the hole. A hundred or more rings can be thrown out of the box Smoke Rings Issuing From Box. with only one filling of smoke. This ts an easy way to study the seeming mystery of smoke rings. As the smoke is forced out it strikes the still air outside and immediately breaks in the middie, forming a “doughnut” ring, which turns very rapidly on an axis lying in the center of the rim of smoke.—Dale R. Van Horn tn Popular Science Monthly. PHENOMENON OF A BLUE SUN Cause, Astronomers Assert, Was the Eruption of a Large Voicano at Sunda States. Astronomers of different countries have more than once recorded a blue moon, This remarkable phenomenon has been twice observed, both in Italy and Austria, but only once In England. A blue sun has appeared once only, and will probably never be seen again even to the end of existence, astron- omers say. This occurred in August, 1883, at the Sunda States. The cause was the eruption of a large volcano. In the terrible shock that followed @ great range of mountains was blown completely into the air. The cavity left on the Sunda States after this explosion was 1,000 feet deep. Billions of tons of rock, dust and mud were blown heavenward for no less than 17 miles. It can be understood what the ex- plosion was like when {ft is sald that at Batavia, exactly 100 miles away, the street lamps had to be lit, although the time was not yet noon. The sun up to this tlme was completely ob- scured; but toward sunset—-the sunset that only the tropics know~-came the magnificent phenomenon known to astronomers as the blue sun. This was seen by every one within 30 or 40 degrees of the equator. Chess. God and Satan play chess together. But the chess they play is not the little ingenious game that originated in In- dia; it {s on an altogether different scale. The ruler of the universe cre- ates the board, the pieces, and the rules; he makes all the moves; he may make as many moves as he likes when- ever he likes; his antagonist, however, is permitted to Introduce a slight in- explicable inaccuracy into each move, which necessitates further moves in correction. The creator determines and conceals the aim of the game, and {t is never clear whether the pur- pose of the adversary is to defeat or assist him in his unfathomable pro- Ject.—H. G. Wells. Filipinos Produce Fire With Syringe. The natives of the Philippine Islands produce fire by what Is called a fire syringe. This is really a highly scien- tifle device. A piece of very hard wood has a smal! hole bored tn It, and Into this hole a rod fits closely, a piece of cotton wool rendering the Joint air- tight. At the bottom of the hole a small piece of tinder Is placed. When air is strongly compressed It becomes heated; so the natives force the rod down the hole, the air is violently compressed, and the tinder {s so heated that it begins to smolder; then the rod is withdrawn, and the tinder ts immediately fanned into a flame. Final Proof of Power. The man who ts worthy of being a |} leader of men will never complain of the stupidity of his helpers, of the ingratitude of mankind, or of the In- appreciation of the public. These things are al! a part of the great game of life, and to meet them and not go down before them tn discouragement end defeat is the final proof of power, —
