A new apparatus for measuring the
moan level of the nes has Lately been in-
stalled at Marseilles. It is based on the
principle that when a liquid wave trav-
erses a capillary tube ora porous parti
tion, its amplitude diminishes and itis
retarded in its phases without the mean
level 01 the wave changing. It consists
of a glean tube. the lower end of which
communicates by a flexible pipe with a
plunger which is lowered beneath the
lower water level There are twnddtels
in the plunger, the lower being filled
with sand and open to the sea, the result
being that the rolamn of water in the
tubae rises and falls very little with the
tides, and the mean sea level can be read
from a grainiest' soils. -New York

M. M. remillri:erit school teacher. nay's
In my cans was a little Irish boy about my
own age, who've name was .ferry I;raly; sal
when school was out f w noon. Jerry said to
me, "Uid ye mind that sthory about Col
umlus and the egg • Wire that's not the
way the thrirk was done at all, at all. Come
wed me anti 1'11 show ye how ('olun.busdnne
it." Now it ro happened that Jerry'smoth-
er kept chickens. and when we reached the
house he had no trouble in finding a fresh
eegggg First putting a clean plate on the
t•iek, .terry took the egg, and shook it vio-
lently
irlently for rte semnda, or until the yolk
and white were thoroughly mixed, like a
compound of milk and water. Then after
holding the egg upright no the plate until
the mixture inside .4 0 had settle.) quietly
into the hard ire of it, he withdrew his
hand and left the egg standing upright and
alone. '•There, said he, "that's the way
('olumbu a dors: it ;" and 1 have nn doubt it
was, for 1 have often done it myself that
way, and anybody else stem do it. My ob-
ject in correcting this bit of history, is to
et Columbus right before the world and /ro
rescue him from the suspicion that he was
ignorant of the easy. scientific, ands purely
mechanical solation of the egg problem.
The reason why an egg will not stand on
end is that its contents are not balanced
either in weight or plae, Mit after they are
thoroughly mixed the egr will easily re-
cognise its own centre of gravity and stand
upright, like a toy soldier which is rad. on
the same principle. -
