The jar should contain about three gils of water, which should be changed once a week in summer, ev ery ten days in winter. When the leech lies at the bottom of the jar and curled up in spiral ..rm you may reasonably rely on fine weather. If, however, it creeps up to the top of the jar and remains there, rain is coming. When the leech darts about its lodging with great swiftness, it is not suffering from a pain, but is telling you to look out for wind. It a hurricane is on its way the ,eech will be more out of the water than ini and will have convulsive movements. The jar, by the way, abohouldbbeonly partially filled with waterwhil thetop should be coy When Jack Frost is going to pay us avisit the leech behaves as when foretelling fine weather-i. e., he lies at-the-bottom of the jar; but when snw is coming he climbs right up to the mouth of the jar and sticks FUTlIUTY OF EDUCATION.

Just how far plutocratic or trust ontrol of the nation's Industry and realth is responsible for the increas .g burden of the higher cost of liv g, is a problem for calm and sane ivestigation that we may in an or erly and conservative way readjust urselves to changed economic condi ions.

Export Duty on Food Products. Why rage and puzzle about the hIgh ost of living? Thie solution Is easy nd the cause palpable. We no longer roduce enough to feed the people heaply; then put an export duty on aats and foodstuffs and take igport uty off all coming In. Why should the comparatively few ackers and farmers thrive to excess :hile the entire nation suffers? They ould still sell all they can produce, zt it would be sold at home, to the ,enefit of all.

Qi a Three Years of Age. gt men liyed on Saturn they would be old at three years of age. Satur-n's year is nearly 30 of ours in length.

MYSTERY IN RUN OF TIDES Man Has Never Be:-n Able to Learn All the Reasons for the Currents of the Ocean. The to'-nsian whose acquaini ance with the silvery sea is usuall confined to that made during i sununer holidays finds the questio of the tides most pitzzling. Ie know; that the tides rise and fall twice in twenty-four hours, and that they are affected by the moon, and there his knowledge ends. As a matter of face, tides vary considerably. Round about our own coasts are to b fonnd some of the most terrible and dangerous tidal races and currents in the world; they are due to the presence of so much narrow, broken land. Out in the open ocean the speed of the waves is amazing, but nearer land tides travel far more slowly. Down south the attraction of the moon raises an enormous wave that courses round the world from Cape Horn to the Cape of Good Hope, un broken by intervening land. Off the west coast of Scotland there is a whirlpool known as the "Caldron of the Spotted Scas." where the tide races at the speed of a mountain torrent. On the River Amazon, again, the tide forms a moving wall of water thirty feet high, and reaching from bank to bank as it rushes inland from the ocean.
