GRAND RAPIDe -- - MINN New Light on Ballooning. In a French School the boys were asked to write on the invention of bailoons. “Balloons were invented,” wrote one, “by the Brotaers Montgol- fier, who were papermakers. They took a large balloon and filled it with paper. paper and the balloon went up.” An- other’ hoy wrote: “When the aero- stats—such being the name given to men who ride ‘n balloons—wish to come down, they fetch some sand anu gravel and put it in the balloon.” A third boy informed his examiners that “the aeronaut places himself within the balloon, the basket being used for provisions.” Nature’s Panoramic Display, A marvelous display of atmospherie reflection peculiar to the Alps was wit nessed the other day by passengers in the Paris-Frankfort express. Shortly after leaving Metz a wonderful pano- rama developed in the horizon on the western side. The sun seemed to light up the whole Alpine chain, the great mass of Mont Blanc stood out clearly marked, its sides covered with snow ;and its glaciers reflecting the sun- beams. At one moment the iake ot Geneva was visible, its water. tinged a greenish blue. The mirage faded only at sunset, as the train neared Faulque mont. It had lasted about twenty mia ates. 1 He Found the Bullet. The late Duke of Cambridge used to tell with considerable relish the following story of a friend of his, a celebrated colonel: During the Egyption war of ’82 Maj. -—— was shot in the knee and the pro- Jectile made a hole of some depth. When the surgeons were probing the wound and causing endless torture the poor officer begged to know what they were hunting about for. “We're searching for the bullet,” was the reply : “What! Looking for the bullet? Why, damme, I’ve had it in my pocket Huge Nest of the Mound Bird, | The Australiag mound bird builds .

It. gives them the keynote of truth and beauty, strikes the chords of harmony, dispels discord from the life, seatters clouds and brings sunshine. All good music is a character. build- er, because iis ccnstant suggestion of harmony, order and beauty puts the. mind into a normal attitude. Music clears the cobwebs out of many minds, 8o that they can think better, act bet- ter and live better. Some writers are dependent upon music for their in- spiration and their moods.’ Somehow it brings the muse to them, It adds brilliancy to the brain and facility to the pen which they cannot seem to get in any other way. Good music seems to give us a touch of the divine and to put us In contact with divinity. It drives out evil thoughts, making us ashamed of them. ~It lifts us above petty annoy- ances and little worries of life and gives us:a glimpse of the idea which the actual is constantly obscuring.-~ Suecess. MARBLES CAME [ROM GERMANY. Detight of Children Originated ‘ World’s Toyshop. Marbles got their name from the fact that originally little bits of mar. bles were rolled down the hills and rounded and pounded by other stones until they become toys.for children te play: with. It is said that the Dutchman ex ported them to Hngland, from where we got them. Whether they did or not fhakes little difference to the boys and girls of to-day. Ne matter who intro duced the world to marbles as toys, they are with us, and always will be. Some of you win them from other children—some of you trade postage stamps for them; but some pérson’or- ginally bought them from -the little store around the corner, whose owner got them from that greatest toy shop in the .world—Germany. In the beginning marbles were call- ed bowls, and men and women played with them, as well as children. Hun- dreds of millions of commies and agates and glassies and shiners are sent to America and the children get more pleasure out of these cheap lit- tle toys than almost anything else.— Washington Star. Dynamite “Whiskers.” The name “whiskers” is appliet to feathery crystals which gather upon the outside of the wrappings of frozen dynamite. The “whiskers” are more ‘irritable’ than * dynamite itself. A ease is on record where sticks of dyna- mite had been thawed out.in hot water and the can of hot water in which it was done left in the black- smith shop without, being ‘emptied of the residual scum of grease and whis- kers. The first blow of the black- smith’s hammer on a nearby anvil was sufficient to set off the whiskers by concussion. The can was blown to pieces, but fortunately no one was hurt. : Superstitious Zulus. An official, in “Africa writes of the Zulus: “About 5,000 people were here last Friday and, the ‘indaba’ (discus- sion) lasting until, after - sundown, most of them were compelled to sleep here. Having no. food for their entertainment, I hurridly purchased two bulls, which I gave the chiefs. Knowing their superstition, I did not kill the animlas, but allowed them to do so. ‘However, none of them would touch the meat. They thought I might have bewitched the animals, } and that by partaking of the meat they would lose all influence with their people.” Wood Was Coming Too Freely. Some sixty years ago the town of Palmer, Mass., had a settled minister by the name of #ackhus. In those days the minister’s salary was paid in part by products from the farms. In the month of February, with eusy sledding, the farmers took to draw- ing green birch wood to the minister until his yard was piled full of it. The following Sunday the minister reverentially ascended the steps to his pulpit, and in a loud voice said: “Tf I could have a few more loads of green birch wood I could extinguish the fires of hell.”—Boston Herald. Life-Saving Boats With Power. Several boats equipped with power have been built for the United States life-saving service. One of these, the Rescue, has been delivered to Sandy Hook, and already has proved that | she is capable of doing excellent work. The boats are thirty-four feet long and fitted with gasoline engines. Here- tofore it has not been possible for life-saving men to go out in boats of this size unless there was a favorable wind to use their canvas, as the craft were too heavy to row any distance‘ : Depths of the Ocean. _ The greatest ocean depths are not found in the Atlantic, as there are ver- table abysses to be met with-on the other side of the globe.

Dancing is by no means confined to | quadrupeds. A writer in the Strand | says that it is the principal play of | many birds. Perhaps the finest of bird dancers is the South American cock o’ the | rock. These birds have regular danc- | ing places, level spots which they keep | clear of sticks and stones, A dozen or more of the birds assem- | ble around this spot, and then a cock bird, his scarlet crest erect, steps into the center. Spreading his wings and tail. he begins to dance, at first with slow and stately steps, then gradually more and more rapidly until he is spinning like a mad thing. At last, tired out, he sinks down, hops out of the ring and dnother takes his place. + Some of the quail tribe are great dancers, and so are the American sand hill cranes. It is a most ludic- rous sight to watch a crane dancing; he is so desperately solemn over the whole performance. He looks like a shy young man who has just learned to waltz and is rather ashamed of the accomplishment. Her Scheme.

In England “hall mark” is an offi- cial stamp put upon articles made of gold and silver as xn evidence of gen- uineness; so called from Goldsmiths’ hall in London, the seat o? the Gold- smiths’ company, by whom the stamp- ing is legally regulated. It consists of various marks placed close together, as follows: First, the mark indicating the standard, as, for silver of the new standard, a figure of Britannia and a lion’s Head, erased; secondly, the mark of.the assay town, as a crown for Sheffield or an anchor for Birmingham; thirdly, a mark denot- ing that the duty has been paid; fourthly, the date mark, consisting of a letter of the alphabet for each year in series of different style or design; fifthly, the marker’s mark, usually two or more initial letters; sixthly, the workman’s mark, which is not al- ways present. Explicit Directions, A tourist just returned froni a holi- day in Ireland tells of an inscription which he saw on a stone at the edge of a small river in County Cavan, says the London Tribune. It read: “When this stone is out of sight it is not safe to ford the river.” This reminds one of a finger post erected by one of the surveyors of Kent roads some years ago, on which was painted: “This is the bridle path to Faversham.
