Way the Earth Was Formed.;
You know of course that the earth
is nearly spherical or ball-shaped but
not exactly so. It is flattened a little
at the poles as a rubber ball is wn
you place it on the floor and put yoiir
foot on it ' The distance from tile
north pole to the south pole meas
urpd through he center of the earth
is i iiiwtrs less inan uiu uisiuuiu ul
tween two opposite points on the
equator also measured through the
center of the earth.
This slightly oval form of the earth
Is due to the facts that it was "at one
time a -mass of liquid 'like a big rain-
drop and was then spinning on its
axis as it does now (or probably a
little faster). .
Now when you whirl a sling or -a
stone tied to a' string around you
know that the string is stretched
tighter and tighter the faster you
whirl it and it is liable. to break if
you whirl it too fast
The earth being liquid . did not
break but simply yielded a little and
"bulged'' all around the equator being
held from going farther by gravitation
or it? attraction toward the -center
oi the whole mass. And In this
bulged form it became solid when it
cooled.
All this can be illustrated very pret-
tily with a simple little apparatus
based on the familiar toy called a
"buzzer" or "locust" a cardboard disk
with a holeon each side of the center
and near it a long" string passed
through both holes and its ends tied
together. Yon take a loop of the.

better glue two disks together with
the ends of the pins between them.
Now make two bands like envelope

than the disk. Place them at right
angles one inside of 'the other and
paste them together.

you notice that the hands as they
turn look like a complete sphere just
as a sparK whined round giver.- the
impression of a circle of fire but as
the speed increases note how the
sphere flattens. The faster it goes the
flatter it becomes. There you have
an illustration of the flattening of the
earth.

poles are the holes through which the

Value of a Direct Gaze. '
The effect of a full straightforward
gaze on tne person to wnom one is
speaking is not as a'xule sufficiently
considered. And. yet there is nothing
n' personal intercourse that carries
more weight than a direct gaze. It is
the .wedium for sympathy the 'mental
telegraphy that brings speaker and
hearer in touch with each other.
Every one has experienced the gene
of talking to a person whose wander
ing glances betray their part of in-
terest but one often fails to 'analyze'
the subtle attraction of an attentive
eye that stimulates and Inspirits one
all unconsciously while one- converses.
The Dog That Made Believe.
My little dog "Monad" hated flies
and would hunt them all over the
house. Thinking to have sufle sport
with him I made a noise with my Hps
imitating the buzzing of a fly and
then made believe to catch the Insect.
The dog lifting his lips went through
til the motions of hlting-the Imagin

Revolutionary Game.
Send one of the players out of -the
room. The rest agree on "the name of
some man who was famous'during the
revolutionary war (Franklin for in-
stance) then give one letter of it to
each player so far as the letters will
go around.
Call in the outside player. ;
He must find out what -revolutionary
name you all agreed upon.
This is the way he must do.. Begin-
ning with one end of the line he asks:
"What animal?" '
This player must answer with some
creature whic-h begins with his letter.

TUMBLER EARTHQUAKE
This is a; funny little trick that Is
easy to do and needs no apparatus.
Nearly All a tumbler with water wipe
the edge dry if you happen to have
wet it lay on it a card wliich is large
enough to project at least half an inch
all around and let it stand undis-
turbed. In half an hour or so you will
find that the. card has become hollow
like a cup) and has sagged down in-
side of the glass. This is caused by
the vapor rising from the water. The.
lower face of the card being moist
has Bwollen or expanded while the1
Before and After th
upper face has not and therefore the
flat card Is warped into the. shape of
a cup.. Take it off and replace i with
the damp convex side oil top. The
rounded card represents the round
earth or a portion of It and in a
minute you will see it quak-e.
But to make the earthquake more
Interesting your earth should 'have In-
habitants." You cannot make these
small enough to be in the "right pro-
portion to your "little dearth and if you
might answer "rat." "F" might an
swer "fox": "A" ar.cwer "aitt"; the
two."N's" answer "nightingale" and
"newt" - respectively; . "K" answer
"kangaroo"; "L" answ.er -"Hon" and
"I" answer "insect."
The questioner then puts the initial
letters 'together changes them around
.a little and very soon succeeds in
guessing the name "Franklin."'
A Wise Mrs. Tabby.
One day last summer Mrs. Tabby
w.as discovered up in the hayloft with
two companions two little kitties.
"Only two! Hot lucky!" exclaimed
her owner with s?igh of relief for
of "all "things he lotlied the nasty job
of . drowning superfluous kitties.
"Superfluous" meant all over two
Mrs. Tabby was always allowed to
raise two at a .time but ho more. .
But at last one day imagine every-
body's "surprise to .behold Mrs. Tabby
parading the garden followed by five-
frisky kittens.
Then the secret -came out. - Wise
Mrs Tabby it seems had hidden her
"superfluous"" kittens so as to save
them from being drowned. .
Were the. extra three drowned after
all? No Indeed.' Nobody -had .the
heart to do that after the pains Mrs.
Tabby had gone to in order to save
them.
A Novelty in Drawing. "
Have our clever readers ever tried
what they can draw by means of one
continuous lino? . If not now is the
time for them to practice their skill In
this direction. Make the cleverest
picture you can nslng only one con
tinuQiis line; that is to say the pen
must not be raised from the papei
until the whole drawing is made.
A Half-Drowned i Prince.
. The king of Italy has had at least
one narrow escape from death which
appears almost to be forgotten. When
as a boy of 15 he was staying for a
lime. 'it Spiez on the Lake of Thun
he ventured out alone in a small boat
.which he contrived to upset when
sorae distance out. Fortunately the
accident was seen by a young Swiss
clergyman who promptly swam out
to. his rescue and- with the utmost dif-
ficulty managed to bring the half
drowned prince safely to shore. .

xYou might also add a house built
up of four bits of card for wajls held
together. only by the weight of a fifth
piece laid on top of them for a roof.

Dainty Decoration for Dinner Table.
In table setting mere is atwuys
something new. At a recent dinner
the hostess surprised her guests by
decorating "the center of her table
with a cloth of pure gold thread sol-
idly worked the border a lace design
of white silk and fine goldmesli in
diamond-shape stitches. " The green
for the table was small ferns .set in
an oval dish of dark lilue. china witll
figures in relief representing peasants
in holiday costume. At each corner
of this gold center was a candlestick
in dull silver of colonial design fur-
nished with a. shade of iridescent-
glass which graduated 7fom tones of
ilgnt yellow to dark orange and then
to red. .
Eton Collars for Spring.
The Eton collar is noticed on some
spring suits. It is a welcome change
from the collarless. effects of former
seasons. It gives a girlish not to say
boyish looli to the wearer. It. has
already been seen on the. English ten
nis suits of white duck and sea grepn
linen "in -Florida courts and now it
comes along as a top dressing of the-
bolero or jacket-shaped bodices of
spring suits.
It is of linen usually but is made
more becomingand softly- feiriinincby
a frilling of soft Valenciennes lace
sewed all the way around. The open
space; between the collar points is
thus filled in and finished with a bow.
Menu Card -Ideas.
' Nothing is prettier for a dainty
luncheon than the ribbon menu. This
consists of a nine-inch length of
broad satin ribbon with a floral em
blem and the word "Menu" -painted
on it.
..Another .Idea is the swan menu
which is cut out of deckled cardboard.
The tail feathers are first cut and the
word "Menu" 'printed at the 4 top with'
the bill ot fare underneath. The hea'd
and wings of the bird are then cut
separately and a piece of baby ribbon
in the shape of a loop attached to the
head and over the tail feathers to keep
the different parts of the anatomy to
gether.
Eton Jacket.
Eton jackets- are- to be noted among
tho most fashionable qoats .and are
Jaunty becoming and generally at

brown broadcloth with trimming of
brown and white braid the vest being
white cloth braided with brown and
tan but all suiting materials are apt
propriate and the vest can be one of

back and is fitted by means of single
darts shoulder and under-arm seams.
The little vest can be applied over tire
edge and finished with the braid or
the jacket can be cut away and the

then stitched to position. The sleeves
are gathered and are joined to . the
