Pounds OF Strength Expended in SsrfE1-

It requires more force to sound a
note gently on the piano than to lift
the lid of a kettle. A German composer
has figured that minimum pressure OF
the finger playing piano tssmo is equal
to 10 grams-a quarter Of a pound.
Few kettle lids weigh more than two
ounces The Germans calculations are

greater force is needed At times a
force OF six pounds is thrown upon a

With chords the force is generally
spread over the various notes sounded

This is what gives pIanists the wcrder-

told of Paderewski that he could crack
a pane Of French plate glass half an
inch thick merely by placing one hand
upon it. as if upon a piano keyboard,
and striking it sharply with his middle

The bill said to be before the
Assembly now providing that no
fresh meat shall be sold in this
State after it has been "kllled
over 4S hours is simply a bill to
deprive the people of the prlv1l-
ege of eating meat at all, says
the Asheville Citizen. The ami
NAL heat is hardly gone from
beeve until it has hung half a
dav. If then it was not sold
within the remaining SO hours
a practical impossibility even if
this were desirable-this bill pro-
vides that it must be picked.
The result of this law would be
that, inside of a month, there
would be no fresh meat Ill Ashe-
Vile, and the butchers would
have in store enough picked
meat to sink a first class navy.
The bill is a silly one, and can
not serve the purpose that was
probably intended by its authors
to prevent the sale Of any ex-
cept Buncombe meats.
