Now the Union of Galloway Asso
mations held its annual meeting in
Cairn Edward at the time of the e
aminations. And the unfortunate
who had their papers to write indited
them in the assembly rooms of th
leading hotel, the Cairn Edward
Arms, amid a distant fusilade of pop-
ping corks, intermittent sounds of
revelry, and the constant trampling
of innumerable feet in the passages
without.
Cairn Edward itself was new to
Kit. That is, he had been in the little
town on:Sabbaths when all the shops
wore their shutters—except the
Apothecaries' Ha:1, which had two
down, and Iooked in its staid respon-
sibility like a sportive parson who had
lost a couple ctf teeth, and who knows
he ought not to be smiling under the
garish light of day. But Kit had never
sten Cairn Edward on a Monday. And
that not a common Monday either, but
the red-letter day when the Union
of Galloway Societies met in the town
and held its great dinner in the even-
ing.
The hoy slowly took in the vision
of the little white -washed town with
its smiling shops, broad streets, and
comfortable merchants all a -bustle be-

g. Mystery of the Mosquito.
, Ask a man of Science how u mos-

Into lila own stomach. He will tell you
A that the Insect pumps the blood after
sticking his sucker pump between the
s cells of your akin and then through the
walls of your veins.
Loc
• Well, that is exactly what the mnos-
y, quite must, do and ho does It well,
pm Novertheiese, no student has ever been
h able to prove that this very evident
g fact is true.
No one can scientifically prove that
d the mosquito sucks blood through a
a pipe when that pipe is so small that
✓ blood can not be forced throughIt
✓ even under pressure.
The sucking pipe of the insect is so
rAnall that. a` strong microscope le re
quired to show time hole through which
the blood undoubtedly passes. Man
can make a pipe just as smell, all he
has to do is to make a pipe of any size
anti pull and pull on the ends, Fine
pipes are all made by that process.
Manufacturers first make a fine:Pipe
with a fine hole through it The ends
of this pipe are attached to machinery
s which draws it out until the sides
r close in and the hole` Is of the required
as size,
1f you wish to see exactly how thin
sis worked take a rubber pipe and
stretch it. If the rubber does not
break the hole will become so tiny that
It will no lohger be a hole.
Man can make a pipe as small as
x- the one used by the mosquito, but he
s cannot force blood through it. Blood is
made up of wee egg-shaped bodies
e called corpuscles. To see them you'
must use a very fine microscope;
The estraprdinary thing is that
these corpuscles are so large that they
will not pass through the masquito's
sucker -pipe — hence the query — how
does he do it?
It is supposed, but only supposed—
that the pipe enlarges as the cor-
puscles pass through, the Pipe acting
like a stocking when a large ball is
parsed through it.
Science knows this must be the
wee, yet the fact cannot be proved be-
cause, in order to see the pump -pipe
working it must be seen under a
powerful glass and it is a difficult
thing to induce a mosquito to pump
blood out of a man while the pump of

Sun did not seem inclined to do so.

As Sun still showed no enthusiasm,
Sir James and Lady Oantile led ltim to

him while he sent his answer.
"If you say I must!' sighed Sun as
he wrote out his acceptance.
And thus are Chinese Presidents

Here Is quite an amusing story told
by Miss Helen Hope about Major John

to millions 01 readers- as Ian Hay,,
Major Beth had appealed, througim the
Press, for money for the Ypres League,

him of a widow hi whom she was In-

erose to France for that purpose.
"My dear lady," replied Major Beith,
"you remind me of the man who ap-
pealed for funds to help an orphanage,
amid the only answer he received was
from a woman who sent him three or:
