MAKING OWN BOOKRACK SAVES MANY DOLLARS Hint to Would-be Competitorsâ€"Profit- able Work at the Cheapest Outlay You can get the wood for this book rack from some old piece of furniture in the attic, or buy it for a few cents 3t a lumber yard. Begin work by drafting out the ends of the pieces from which they are to be cut. Draw your line-.3 ca efully with a fine-pointed hard pen of the sides need not be fully drawn. Mark their centres only. Use a 979- lnch bit in boring each of the four holes which form the completed hole. The curve at the top and sides is sawed with a compass saw and sand- paper. A compass or coping saw is a small wire frame with saw blades that may be put in quickly. They are very handy for the boy mechanic. ! One frame and six blades can be bought for a small sum. To ensure both ends being similar, ‘ mark them out from a cardboard pat-I tern. In boring the holes have your! hardwood piece blocked firmly andi let it rest upon a piece of pine. Con-l tinue to turn the bit until it has cut' into the pine a half inch. This will keep the reverse side of the hole from being broken and jagged.

In her “Greece of the Hellenes” Miss Lucy Garnets relates how on one oc- casion she and a friend were invited into the suburbs of Greece by a Greo cian lady who was giving a birthday tea to her young son and his play- mates. “My share of the entertain- ment.” says Miss Garnets, “consisted in watching the little lions feed. for neither a cup of tea nor a slice of the birthday cake came my way or the way of my companion. whose hospital- ity the hostess herself frequently en- joyed.” This apparent niggardliness is, of course, entirely due to the cus- tom of the country. The writer adds that the same hostess on coming to ‘ England entertained like the average Britonâ€"London Chronicle. Hospitality In Greece.

Its inventor was a French fanatic named Chevalier, who had conceived such an intense hatred of Napoleon that he de termined to kill him. Being employed at a government small arms factory, he had gained some knowledge of explosives, and with this knowledge he managed to construct a bomb out of a barrel, which he filled with a mixture of powder, bullets, bro- ken glass and white arsenic. Chevalier’s idea was for the bomb to explode under Napoleon’s carriage as it passed through the streets of Paris. A miscalculation, however, caused it to go off a few seconds too soon. L!â€" -k ..

Getting Into a Scrape. Many years ago the wild deer that ‘ roamed through the forests of England used to dig holes in the earth With their forefeet. They pawed it out sometimes to the depth of several inches, sometimes a foot or more. These holes were called “scrapes,”. and travelers at dusk or night or those who were careless about their footing often tumbled into them. They were laugh- ed at for their headlessness when they came home covered with mud, and as this frequently occurred after they had been imbibing a bit they were said to have “got into a scrape.” Some Cam- bridge students took up this expres- ; sion. and thus it came to be applied to ‘ people who had got into difficulties of A various sorts. receive from the sun depends very much upon the direction of its rays. In summer the sun’s rays are more vertical than in Winter; hence the days are warmer. Seeing Around Corners. There are many insects which have a very much larger field of vision than we have. This is due to the greater concavity of their eyes. enabling them to see around the corner. so to speak behind and at the sides. This devel- opment in man 1would have its objec- tionabiel oints, but a so its good ones. not the least of 1 hieh might be the detection of pickpochets.â€"Chamners‘ Journal. V‘ Freezing ‘Nater.
