PLAYING POWER.
yUst How Great u Force Is Expended
on the Piano.


on the Piano.
The amount Of power expended on
playing On a piano has recently been
figured out in way which, if not alto
Gether accurate, is at least interesting.
Commenting on the statement that it
really requires more force to sound a
note gently on this instrument than it
mans Life, it is easy to verify it, If
one takes & small handful Of coins and
piles them On q key of a piano.
When a sufficient quantity is piled
on to make q note sound, they may be
weighed, and the figures will be found
to be true. II the pianist is playing
fortis&imo, a much greater force is
needed. 1t times the force of six
pounds is thrown upon a single key to
produce q solitary effect.
With chords the force Is generally
spread over the various notes sounded
simultaneously, though a greater out
pat OF force is undoubtedly expended.
This is what gives pianists the won
derful strength in their fingers that is
often commented on.
One Of ChOpin'S compositions has q
passage which takes two minutes and
five seconds to play. The total pres
sure brought to bear on this, it is es
timated, is equal to three full tons.
The average tonnage" Of an hours
playing Of ChOpin's music varies from
y to 81 tons.

A ROPE or WORMS.
Tie Curious Procession That Mag b
Seen In Norway Forests.

Seen In Norway Forests.
In the deep pine forests Of Norway
the woOdcatters sometimes find ser
pentine object nearly so feet long
crawling slowly over the ground. Ii
they did not know that it was made
up of millions Of little worms, they
might be frightened by It's peculiar
appearance. These worms, called the
FciaEa, gather during July and August
IN large numbers preparatory to MI
grating in search Of food or for change
Of condition. When setting out on
this Journey, they stick themselves
together and form a huge serpentlike
mass, often reaching a length Of be-
between 40 and 80 feet and. sevcEll
inches in thickness.
As the sciara is only on an average
about three thirty-secOnds Of an inch
IN length and barely wider than fine
needle, the number required to com.
pose q line Of the size above men
toned is enormous. Their pace Is
very slow, and upon meeting an OBJ
stacle, such as q stick or stone, they
will either ewrithe over or around it,
sometimes breaking into two bodies
for this purpose.
NJ. Gucrin- Meneville, a celebrated
French naturalist, says that if the rear
portion Of this wonderful snazelike
procession be brought into contact
with the front part and a sort of circle
formed the insects will keep moving
round and round in that circle for
hours and hours without apparently
noticing that they are not getting on
In their journey. II the procession
be broken In two, the portions will re-
unite in short time.
The Norwegian peasants, when they
meet one of these trains, will lay some
article Of their clothing, such as q belt
or handkerchief, on the ground in
front Of It. If the procession passes
over It, it is regarded as a good sign;
but II it makes a way round, the re-
verse is. Acknowledging Record.

The Landlord outwitted.

IN the main hall Of one tenement, Oh

binary landlord prejudices to a certain
extent. Occasionally it is the tenant
who suspends them.
Tire policeman laughed as he told
me of the case Of a mother who cOvet
cd q fat into which she well knew her
family would not be admitted. The
landlord was Particular. She knocked,
With q troubled face alone. Yes, the
fiat was to let. Had she any children!
The woman ncayed a sigh. six, but
they are al in Gree nWOOd."
The landlords heart was touched by
such woe. He let her have the fat
By night he was amazed to find a flock
Of half Il dozen robust youngsters DOM

been iii Greenwood, but they had come
back from the cemetery to stay. And
stay they dill the rent being paid.

The Missed Dish

a schoolmaster in village school
had been in the habit of purchasing
pork from parents of his pupils on the
occasion of the killing Of the pig. One
day a small boy marched up to the
raster's1~desk and inquired eff he
would like a bit Of pork, as they were
going to kill their pig"
The schoolmaster replied in the af-
firmative. Several days having elaps-
ed, and hearing nothing of the pork,
the master called the boy up to him
and inquired the reason he had not
brought it.
"Oh, please, sir" the boy replied,
