Of the 12,000,000 or so dwellings in the United States 90 per cent arc pro tected—at least to some extent—by lire insurance. But of our 100,000,000 inhabitants only 18 per cent have tak en out life insurance policies. Men seem to be more uneasy over the meie possibility of the burning of tbeir houses than over tlie stern certainty that death will some day overtake them. This is a strange contradiction in human nature. To safeguard the nation's material possessions is well, but how much more valuable than the homes are the human lives of the country! In this age, when the prin ciples of life insurance are so well understood, there should be no such discrepancy between the number of homes and of lives insured. In many instances the former could not be saved from foreclosure were the earn ers of incomes to pass away leaving tho families unprovided for. It is as much the duty of every man to Insure his life as to insure his property, and if he has no insurable property there is all the more reason for Insuring his life.—Leslie's. How to Ride. In riding sit erect and don't slouch along. Don't try to be a cowboy If you are not. We hare the real simon pure cowpunchers and broncho bus ters also we have the tin horn variety of, the same species. Steer clear of the latter also be careful not to get Into this category yourself. Remember that a horse is only flesh and blood and~Bot a machine. He gets tired, hungry and thirsty, and for goodness' sake, treat him accordingly. Because he Is a lively horse and you are paying his hire, treat him white Just the same. Remember that some one else rode him yesterday, and an other will probably do so tomorrow. Give your horse the same kind of a deal you yourself would demand if you were In Its place. Even a broncho has feelings and will appreciate your thoughtfulness.—Outing. Exploding Ice. To make a piece of ice explode tlie first step is to put on ajjjate a'lump of clear ice about as'large as your fist. Then with a reading gla^s or the lens of a magnifying glass focus the s»n's rays so that the bright spot of light is exactly in the center of the lump. In a little time the ice will begin to melt from the inside, and after a few mo ments a small cavity will appear, for the ice, having expanded in freezing, -will not take up so much room when melted. The cavity, being entirely sur rounded by ice, will be a partial vac uum, filed with a watery vapor of very low pressure. When you have melted a large cavity lay the glass aside and let tho ice melt in the sun. Turn it occasionally so that it will be sure to melt evenly round the cavity. After awhile the cavity wili be surrounded by a thin shell of Ice. Then, because of the great pressure on the outside (about fifteen pounds to the square inch), the thin walls will suddenly collapse, and the Ice will fly in "all di rections.—Youth's Companion. The Colder Hemisphere. Dr. George C. Simpson of tbe Indian meteorological service at Simla, in In dia, who asserted that the southern hemisphere is much colder than tbe northern, gives to the Scientific Amer ican the reasons on which he bases his opinion. The air is warmed not by' tbe rays of the sun, which simply pass through it, but by the earth, which ab sorbs the rays. Now, in tbe northern hemisphere there Is much land to absorb the energy of the sun and to give heat to the air. In the southern hemisphere there Is much less land, and all the land within the antarctic circle is per manently covered with ice, which forma a virtually perfect reflector and which sends back Into space most of the solar energy that falls npon It Five mil lion square miles of the earth's surface in the southern hemisphere reflect Into, •pace a Urge part of the energy re ceived from the a fact that in it self is enough to account for a consid erable difference in temperature.
