CCUMTY SCHOOL MOTES. The Headmaster beJng anxious to add to the usefulness of the school library by periodical addition of books has arranged a short serites of illustra.t.ed lectures, to which the public are admitted for a very smajl charge. These lectures have proved z7, very interesting, and have not been given in vain, so far as the object aimed at is concerned, and also it is hoped to have proved of value to those who have been privile.ged to hear -ahem. The subject at Tuesday's lecture was "Mountains and 1Ylanknd," the' lecturer being the headmaster himself (Mr J. Archer Thomson, M.A.) Mr Thomson is a mountaineering enthusiast and expert. and so was able to give his lecture that piquancy only possible when the speaker had by personal experience become thoroughly at home wijth his subject and a. worshipper at its shrine. The lecture was illustrated by a series of beautiful slides, for the exhibition of which Mr A. H' H.ughes (a never failing friend of the school) had kindly lent, h-'s lantern. The Centra.l Hall of the school was nlled with an appreciative audience.

REPAIRING CRACKED IRON PULLEYS. This is done by local heating. The crack in the rim is opened by means of an screw acting on the two adjoining spoke-, -:) .'s to make a gap about 1-16in. to 1-24in. in width. Welding- metal being then melted in the cn'ck by means of the oxy-acetylene name, the ex- pansion-screw is withdrawn quickly, while the metal is still red-hot, and the elastic re of the rim counteracts the contraction of the joint in cooling. No special care is needed in cooling, and the metal can be tempered with out risk of cracking. ,-+-- LOCKING SCREWS IN PLACE. I submit the following as a great help to usera of air motors, and more particularly to those machinists having to make iin. screws in a loin. or 18in. engine-lathe with nothing but ordinary hand-dies. We all have our troubles to keep screws in the lower cover of our air motors. To overcome it, leave the heads §in. long, and drill a 5-22in. hole close to the shoulder. Then put your slot for the screw-driver in to the usual depth. After the screws are in place, run a. small steel wire through the holes, and, when through all of them, fasten the two ends to- gether. It is obvious your screws will not turn far. We have had our motors come in with but one screw in. the cover, and the balls everywhere except in the ball-race.—"Machinist' in the "American Machinist." --+-- A SUPPOSED NEW MINERAL. A specimen of a mineral, forming portion of a, mass stated to have been found in the basalt of County Antrim, was recently sent for ideutinca- tion to the omce of the Geological Survey of Ire- land by Mr. S.B.Wilkinson, the senior geolo- gist, to whom it was handed by the finder. As it presents some peculiar features, and appears to be new to science, we take this opportunity of recording its occurrence. The complete exami- nation of the mineral will necessarily occupy some time. The mineral strongly resembles cobaltite in appearance. Its lustre is metallic, hardness about six. It breaks with a. surface which, under the microscope, shows a finely con- choidal structure. When etched with an acid a crystalline structure becomes apparent; it is fusible with difficulty. but in the oxyhydrogen flame it melts without apparent alteration. Heated in a closed tube, it does not yield any sublimate. When the mineral is powdered, or sven its surface scratched, it emits an odour like that of acetylene prepared from commercial calcium carbide. Hydrofluoric acid dissolves the mineral, the other acids have little effect upon i't. while it is readily composed by fusion with the alkaline hydroxides. A preliminary chemical analysis shows that the mineral is essentially a compound of iron, silicon, and carbon.—Richard J. Moss and Henry J. Seymour, in Nature." --+-- LUBRICATION OF A CUTTING TOOL. It has always been a puzzle to me (writes Mr. W. H. Booth, in the American Machinist'") how lubricant could find its way to the point of a cutting tool. I can only account for it by two things—first, capillarity, and, second, by dis- believing that much cutting is done by the edge of the tool. It seems probable, if we will mentally ensconce ourselves at the cutting edge, that the metal cut is wedged open by the two faces of the tool which nm: in the edge, and that the opening is so far in advance of the edge that there is time for r'ome lubricant to find its way to the edge. The advance of the metallic division ahead of the edge cannot be great, or a dullpd edge would not be so much less emeient than. a sharp edge. once a cut has started. That it is less emeient seems to prove that there is something in a keen edge. Thus we do not seem to get much nearer to a solution of the lubrication problem. Some years ago a rather interesting question in lubrication presented itself. A set of pumps, driven by a worm and wheel, were required to be tested for general sunicipncy. The worm was below the wheel, and there was a thrust bearing in a narrow cylindrical recess out of the oil- casing which enclosed the worm and wheel. A thick oil was filled into the casing, and the test was made. The thrust bearing soon grew un- bearably hot, and it looked much as though the pump would be condemned. Quite suddenly the box went comparatively cool, and no further heating took place. The cooling coincided with the thinning or liquefying of the oil. At first this was so very thick that it could not freely enter the thrust-chamber against the tendency of the worm to draw the oil away from the thrust recess and pile it up to the opposite side of the casing. But this piling up ceased when the oil became hot and thin, for it could then get well into the thrust collars, and these cooled at once, and the test was declared good. Now, here was a case where the contractor benefited by a long test which simply proved that the cont.ractor-'s estimate of the thickness of oil re- quired was incorrect. A thinner, oil would have run cool from the start, in all likelihood, and this is confirmed by the experience of many— that a thin oil is a better lubricant than a thick oil up to the point where the pressure begins to squeeze the oil from between the surfaces. Presumably this explains the benefit of long bearings, for they admit of the use of thinner oil without squeezing it out from between tha lubricated surfaces. --+-- "WET MOON nAND" DRY MOON." Popular superstition dies hard. No one who expends any thought on the matter can possibly connect rainfall with the direction of the moon's cusps; yet many persons still believe that on tf.e position of the lunar crescent depend changes in the weather which may be foretold with accuracy. The reasons for the alteration in the appearance of the new moon. at diSerent times. together with some interesting variants of the superstition, are given by Mr. Arthur K. Bart- lett. He writes: At the time of new moon, the cusps or horns> of the crescent sometimes lie in a line which is nearly perpendicular with the horizon, and at other times in a line nearly parallel with the horizon. In the former case the moon is commonly described as wet moon. and in the latter case as a "dry" moon, and owing to the changing position of the crescent seen on the western sky after sunset, such expres- sions as these are frequently heard: If the moon lies so water can not run out, we shall have a drought'; < A wet moon is one upon which the Indian can hang his powder-horn,' etc. Now. it is a fact not generally known that the crescent moon always appears upon its back" in spring, near the vernal equinox, and upon its end in autumn, near the autumnal equinox, and Lie,,e positions, which occur regularly each year, may be easily understood by a little consideration after the conditions have once been carefully explained. This change of direction the moon's < horns' are turned is caused by the varying position of the moon, when at her new" re!a- tively to the sun and the earth, and depends upon the difference in declination of the sun and moon. If the moon be further north than t'he sun after the 'new,' the sunlight strikes under her and she appears with her' horns' upturned; but if she be further south the light reaches around her disc to the northward, and her 'h,oriis appear nearly vertical, as if the cres- cent moon was resting upon one of them. \Ve see the moon in varying positions on the sky. and at first sight there appears to be no definite relation between her position and the position of her cusps or < horns: In fact, this feature of her aspect has seemed so changeful and capricious that it has even been regarded as a weather token. But in reality there is a simple relation always fulfilled by the moon's horns.' or points of the crescent. The line joining them is always at right angles or perpendicular to a line drawn from the sun to the moon, so that the 'horns' are always turned directly aw.;y from the sun. The exact position in which they will stand at any time is. therefore, easily pre- dictable, and has nothing whatever to do with the w.eather." t

AN UNPLEASANT QUESTION. It isn't good to eat raspberry jam, Though you find the jar low on the shelf, When mother nor nobody says you may, For you/re pretty sure, that very same day, To get real 'shamed of yourself, It is true True True! Mother came from the pantry and looking ct me, U Someone's been eating the jam," she said. H Not Kitty-I wouldn't like to ask who." My heart thumped as if it were saying, Youl'* While I felt my face grow red, It thumped "You! You! You!" That night when I went to Johnny's house, 'Cross the field in the pretty moonlight, A great big bird sitting up on a tree, Looked down and called right out at me! It wasn't his jam, and he had no right To ask, H Who? Who-o? Who-o?" THE CROW AND THE PITCHER. A crow, ready to die with thirst, new with joy to a pitcher which he saw at a distance. But when he came up to it, he found the water so low that with all his stooping and straining he was unable to reach it. Thereupon he tried to break the pitcher; then to overturn it; but his strength was not sufficient to do either. At Ljst, seeing some small pebbles at hand, he dropped a great many of them, one by one, into the pitcher. and so raised the water to the brim, and quenched his thirst. Skill and patience will succeed where force fails. Necessity is tha mother of invention. CLEVER PUSSY! A lady used to own a cat who was a very faith- ful mouser, and who always stayed at home until a family moved in the next house. She seemed to take a liking to these people, and changed her lodgings to their barn, but still came at meal time to get food at her old home. Shortly after this her owner found out that she had some kittens in the barn next door, and so the next time when the mother cat came begging for feed she said, a No; you gave your kittens to those other people, and you can't have anyF un- less you bring me one of them." Greatly to her surprise the nhl cat came back, with one "f the kittens in her mouth, and laid it at her feet. She gave the cat some meat, which was eaten, and then the oh) cat nickpd up the kitie'ti in her mouth and trotted back to the barn." --+-- A BRAVE BOY. Far away across the sea there Hvpd a little boy named Peter. If you could visit the of Peter, you would nnd many strange things. The children wear wooden shoes, and the girls are dressed in quaint white caps and aprons. Wher- ever you looked you would see great windmills lifting their arms to the sky. The country is very low, and there is always danger of the sea pour- ing in and destroying all the houses. To pre- vent this, the Dutch people have built ,t1'on<t sea, walls, all along the ocean. The sea walls, must be carefully guarded. One day a little boy had been sent on an errand. His path lay beside the grpat wall. As he walked along he heard a sound that ni,).do him stand sti]l. It was the sound of trickling water. Peter knew the meaning of that sound, There was a leak in the wall. No one was in sight, so Peter ran to the spot and put his thumb in the hole. The dripping ceased. He called aloud for help. No answer came It was growing dark, and the water was very cold. He called again and again. No answer came. He was very cold and tired, and his htH& hand ached, but he knew that if he removed It the hole would soon become larger, and the water rush in. In the morning they found him, weak and pale, but bravely holding his thumb in its place. U He is a brave boy," they said. U He haa saved all our homes." -+-- THE UMBRELLA. Unless there is rain, we grumble at the um- brella as a most burdensome implement and more easily lost than any article that we require. We do not think, and perhaps many do not know, what an important part the umbrella. plays in some of the nations. The nrst Englishman who carried an umbrella was Joseph Hanway, who lived toward the end of the 18th century. At nrst he was thought to be a most eccentric per.-on. but by degrees it was seen that there was method in his madness, and the fashion that he set was generally followed by society before his death, in -1786. Hanway was not the inventor of the umbrella, for among the Greeks and Romans an article like it was very common, although it was re- garded as belonging solely to women, and the men never used it. All over the East the um- brella has, for generations, been known as a badge of power and of royalty. On the sculp- tures that remain of the old Egyptian temples are to be seen representations of kings in p!'o- ce-sion with umbrellas carried over their h<-aus. Some 3f the Maharajahs, the gre;tt princes of India, still call themselves U Lords of the Um- brella," and in the address of the King of Burmah to the Viceroy of India many years ago, the British representative of the Govern- ment is described as the U Monarch who reigns over the great umbrella-wearing chiefs of the East." Anyone who walks along the streets of any East Indian town to-day may see how great a social distinction the umbrella has become. It is a mark of degradation for a native to go through the streets of Calcutta without an umbrella. -+-- A BRIGHT LITTLE DOG. There are im tationg everywhere, but the dog tvhcse doitn'.s are recorded below was possibly one of the best canine mimics on record. His name was Scott, and he was a puppy newly in- s trcduced into a certain family circle. In a J! neighbouring house lived Rab? n dog that had ? grcwn to an age of dignity and responsibility. At nrst the older dog ignored the puppy. which in appearance was almost an exact pic- ture of hirr:s:If. Then the two became firm f ds. S20tt was an attendant on Rab's every n'u.vGTrent. They ate together, slept together, and hunted together. They were also as one in barking at passing hcrsrs. Now, barkiug at horses was forbidden, and brought many whippings, but the tempta- tion was strong, and the master and mistress were not always present. The sight of the nre- pngine whirling past, one day, with rattle and clatter, was a challenge no 'high-s'pirited dog could resist. It gave Rab an opportunity to show his young friend how close to a flying fire- engine it was possible to run with impunity. Alas. for his pride! He ran an inch too iic-,ir, or the cart swerved slightly, and the wheel passed over one of Rab's paws. Although the injury was scientifically treated, Rab was ever after forced to go on three legs, and hold the injured paw suspended. Scott noticed Rab's changed method of loco- motion. and, like the thorough courtier he was, immediately adopted the new gait. He was so clever in his imitation that it was difficult to tell which dog went lame from necessity, and which limped because he thought it was desir- able and graceful. Close observation, however, showed that Scott's shapely paw lacked the help- less hang of the older dog's wounded member, and that the saucy cock of his ears was at variance with the mournful hang of Rab's. Scott was a consistent che.'t, always holding up f'p sime paw that Rab d:d, and never for- getting his voluntary lamenps. except or occa- sions of great excitement, when he was in too rea t a hurry, having four legs, to confine him- self to the use of three.

SOME REASONS FOR DAILY EXERCISE. Exercise will help a young man to lead a chaste life. Metal will rust if not used. and the body will become diseased if net exercised. Any man who does not take time for exerctse will probably have to make time to be ill. Exercise gradually increases the physical powers, and gives strength to resist sickness. Plato called a man lame because he exercised the mind while the body was allowed to suffer. A man too busy to take care of his health is like a workman too busy to sharpen his tools. Varied, light ami uri-k exercise. next to sb'en. will rest the tired brain Letter than tdse. Body and mind are both gilts, and for the proper use of them our Maker will hold us responsible. Exercise will do for your body what intel- lectual training wjll do for your mind—educate at;d strengthen it. A sound body lies at the foundation of all that goes to make life a success. Exercise will help to give it. THE PULSE IN YOUNG CHILDREN. The pulse in the new-born and in young' chil- dren is not so signifIcant as au in'i?Mtinn of health or disease as in more advanced years. The normal frequency of the pulse varies greatly, ranging- from 120 to 150, being rather more fre- quent in females than in males. An irregular pulse does not necessarily indicate any disease. but is dependent upon the yet undeveloped con- dition of the nerve centres which control the heart's action. Very slight influences, even physical, s'uch as crying or nursing, will disturb the pulse rate very materially. The pulse, as well as the temperature, is increased upon very slight causes, so that the degree of rise is not as°signihcant as in older children and adults. We cannot count the pulse rate as at all signi- ficant. unless it be taken when the child ia quietly sleeping. SYSTEMATIC WATER DRINKING. Most women do not drink enough water. Like /r.any other duties they owe themselves, this [irtio act is neglected in the hurry and push of other things. The physicians tell us that in order to properly flush the body internally at [east two quarts of water should be drunk dur- ing' the day. The most certain method of mak- ing sure that you and the children are getting enough water is to have a definite, time for sys' tematic water drinking. I have in mind a dear little mother of five promising a kiddies" w!.o takes her pail and dipper promptly at stated intervals, and U waters her stock" from the oldest lad down to the baby. By this means she is sure her children are getting fresh pura water from a clean vessel, and not picki.n"; up a drink wherever they can. Housewife's rheu- matism, and many other trifling ailments fire, caused women by the lack of sumcient water drinking. As any other habit may be per- manently fixed, so may be the desire for water at stated intervals. If you grow accustomed to a copious drink upon rising, another good draught, at eleven, and the same during the afternoon, with a good flushing before retiring, you will see the gain in health and complexion, and will soon miss the drink if it is not forthcoming-. There is nothing so good and refreshing as pure, sparkling water, from a clean. shi"in"' hn. Learn to give up excessive tea and coffee drink- ing. Teach yourself and the a kiddies to pretty pure cool water to any other drink. You will all be the better for it. -+-- HOW TO STERILISE MILK. There has been so much recent discussion on the subject of milk as a circulator of disease that the following directions will be <.f interest to mothers who give carpful atten- tion to the subject. The milk to be sterilised for the use of children should be placed in a clean bottle, which is put irside any convenient metal vessel, into which. cold water should be poured until it reaches the le\ el of the milk in the bottle. The mouth of the bottle should be closed with a plug of clean white cotton. It will be found more convenient in practice to raise the bottle containing th? milk about half-an-inch from the bottom of the outer vessel by any convenient means, as this facilitates the circulation of the hot water round the bottle. The outer vessel should then be placed on a stove and slowly heated until the temperature of the water reaches 155 deg. F. The vessel should then be taken from the fire and covered over closely with a piece of woollen cloth. It should remain covered for half-an- I.our, at the expiration of which time the bottle should be taken out and put in a cool p]acf. Tire milk may be used at any time within 24 hours. The cotton, however, should not be -re- moved, as it prevents the entrance of dust or g'erms of any kind. The explanation of the process is very simple. A temperature of 150 degrees maintained for half-an-honr is sufficient to destroy any germs likely to be present in milk, and by raising the temperature of the outer water five degrees in excess, and then allowing the milk to stand in the heated water for half-an-hour, the proper temperature is ensured for the required period of time. If the temperature of the water is allowed to rise above 155 degrees, the taste and quality of the milk are affected, though not to the same extent <-s if it were boiled. Where a quantity of sterilised milk is required, several bottles may be placed in the same vessel, all being nlled to the same height with the milk. COOKERY RECIPES. Potato Pancakes.—Take two teacupfuls -of mashed potatoes, one teacupful of nour, two well- beaten eggs, and three-quarters of a pint of milk. Mix all together to a smooth batter. Fry in lard or dripping, like ordinary pancakes. If liked, a few currants may be added. Amherst Puddings.—Three cupsful of sifted flour, two-thirds of a cupful of golden syrup, one cupful of milk, one cupful of suet chopped fine, one-half of a pound of raisins, one-half of a nutmeg-, one-half of a teaspoonful of ground cin- namon, one teas'poonful soda, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt. Into the flour put the suet, raisins stoned and chopped, salt, and spices. Add the syrup, then the milk, to which the soda, previously dissolved in a little milk taken from the cupful, has been added. Steam three hours in a tin pudding-mould. Stewed Sheep's Tongue.—Take some sheep's tongues, one gill of stock, one onion tdiced. pep- per and s'alt, lemon juice, walnut pickle, sippets of toast. Boil the tongues till tender, remove the skin, dredge well with nour. add salt and pepper, put into stew-pan with the sliced onion and the stock, a few drops of gravy browning, and simmer for five minutes. Now remove the tongues, cut each in two lengthways, set in a dis'h and keep hot, bring the gravy to the boil, carefully s'irring; add a little lemon-juice, and pour ovef the meat. Garnish with sipppts of toast and pieces of chopped walnut pickle, scat- ter chopped parsley on the top, and serve very hot. Apples in Syrup.—Pee!, core and quarter Rome large apples, and make a. syrup of a quart of water to a pound of sugar. Weigh the apples. allow one pound of fruit to I- ,.i a pint of syrup. When the syrup is hot, drop ttte apples in, cook- ing a few at a time. Stand jars in a pan of boil- ing water on the stove, remove the apples from the syrup, and place in the jars. When all the app!es are cooked, nil up the jars with syruo and tie bladders over. This process is so simple and quick that, by having two pans of syrup in use, a large quantity of apples may be done in a short time. A little lemon peel with a few cloves tied in muslin may be boiled in the syrup. Southern Rice Uread.—Separate two eggs, add to the yolks one pint of milk, a half teaspocuiu) [)f salt. a tablespoonful of butter, melted, one :up of rice nakes, one cup of white corn r eal, )ne cup of white nour, into which yet! 'iv<* ;ift(,(! two teaspoon'ful of baking powdpr. Heat thoroughly, turn into a shallow greased b:'king Dan, a.nd bake iu a moderate ovpn a half hour.
