Hut schoolboys have a way of being grateful. It is the decent thing about them. A .schoolboy while he is at school re- gards his masters as a mixed assort- ment of tyrants and freaks.

The Idea of utilizing .he electricity In the atmosphere for industrial and other puriKJses has always been a fas- cinating one. Mr. Bhattacharyya, of Patna, Ben- gal, has experimented with large paper and linen kites.

The kites rose to eight or nine hun- dred feet, when it was found that sparks could he drawn at short inter- vals from an insulated rod attached to the lower end of the metal kite- string.

How many ln»taDrcs are there, though, where water seems to be colored, either by reflection of light or by material or or- ganisms contained in It. As a rule, tropical seas appear quita blue, and as one trave'.i farther from the Hquator the blue gradually change* to green. The color varies according to tha amount of salt In solution In the water, and as the concentration of saft Is ^"o,â- ^tnst when evaporation Is greatest, and therefore where the sun Is strong- .â-ºI. the bhie Ih Intenslllod towards tha Kipiutor.

Why the buslne&s c( the cook shciMf' be used as a vehicle of scorn and re- venge is a mystery of (Wr mysterious language. We boast that we "have settled his hasih" when we have "squashed" a man, and when counsel very severely cross-examines a witness, or a mis- tress gives a servant what is common- ly c-jlli-d "a piece of her mind," we say that both got "a jolly good roasting." It anyohe has been thoroughly bam- boozled, or made a fool of, we say he has been "doue brown." Why do we say that certain circum- stances or happenings have put a man "Into a pretty stew." or that a certain young man has "got himself into boil- ing water," which almost certainly re- fer.^ to the dropping of some living animal, like the lobster. Into the pot? And why do we refer to someone who has shown a lack of intelligence as {"only half baked?" I The phrase "I've rooked his goose" ^ has an ancient origin.
