Sounds That Cannot He Heard.

X stone thrown into the water pro- duces ripples. In the same way if you strike something, as a drum, there are ripples in ,he air, and the disturbed at mosphere reaches the ear as a sound. The slower the ripples or vibrations the deeper the sound.
 The deepest audible sound in mu- sical instrument is that of the great thirty-two foot pipe of the organ of St. PauFs. which gives sixteen vibrations a second. That is probably the deepest sound that the human ear can catch. You listen to it. rolling through the sa- cred edifice like distant thunder. and a little thought will enable you to realize that there may be sounds inaudible to you, but which you can feel. The deep tone peryades your entire being until you have some doubt whether you real Iy hear or feel 1t.
 The thunder of the cataract of Mag ara produces note with exactly half the number of the big organ pipe-that Is, eight vibrations You cannot hear the note, but 1t can be recorded by deli cate instruments and you can feel each of the eight waves beat against your ear drum. The great volcanic eruption pf htakatea produced q musical no1e of four vibrations q second. It was reg stered hX meteorological inStru- ments in different parts C the world.

The rod as an educational and cor
receive agency in the public schools has
been sustained by two Chicago judges.
A few days ago Prof. G. Stanley Hall,
in addressing mothers club, declared
that DR.. Spank is still as Indispensable
in a well-ordered home where children
are being reared as he was in the days
of Ben Franklin. The new education"
it is true, is RELOCATING the rod to the
limbo of obsolete things. The idea of
restraint or correction has no place In
the real up-tO-date theory of child
training. From the schools this new
education is spreading to the homes.
1t is based on the notion that the nature
of a child must not be curbed. He must
be permitted to follow the tendencies
of the child nature, unhampered by
rules or chastisement. A generation Of
young hOodlums and rOwdies is the
inevitable result of this theory when
carried to an extreme in the home and
in the school Its baneful consequences
are already perceptible in towns where
it has been Systematically followed out
in the public schools. 1t breeds disre
spect for authority, contempt for law.
and general disregard for the peace
and good order of a community and for
the rights and feelings of others Its
fruits are seen in wanton destruction
of property in the suburban towns,
where the police are few and far be-
tween, and where boys are not sup
posed to need police surveillance. IL
these towns they enjoy all the advan-
tages of the new education" Recogni-
ton of authority lies at the basis of all
rational training. whether in the home
or the school. 1t is elemental i'm any
proper scheme of preparation for citi-
zenship. Behind this recognition of
authority is the fear of punishment
Without punitory law there would be
no civilization. This does not mean that
children should be punished with I'M
reasOnableness or brutality. The rod is
not always the best form of punish
ment. Neither should the natural ex-
pressions of the child nature he ruth
lessly crushed. But the punitive factor
i'm child training must not be abolished
If all disciplinary measures are to be
abandoned in the rearing and educa-
ton of children, government will soon
become farce-for behind all govern
ment is respect for authority.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT WEEDS.

prevent weeds from growing up. AL
most all the common weeds have bad
effect on the health of the community
while weeds that are deadly poisons
are found in large number of cities
and villages throughout the country.
Henbane, or deadly nightshade, is
found in few localities. Jimson weed
and purple thorn-apple are common in
most cities east of the Mississippi Riv-
er. Their seeds, which are somewhat
attractive In appearance, are extreme
ly poisonous, and children are killed
every year by eating them. Nine cases
of fatal poisoning from this source were
reported to the Department of Agricul-
ture in a single year, while there were
doubtless many less serious cases
which were not reported. Weeds also
harbor injurious insects and fungous
and bacterial diseases of cultivated
plants.

"are rendered ineffective by the I'M

skylights with which people prolonged
their lives a quarter of a century ago.
1t cannot be denied that many of those
who had the rays of the sun fall on
them through the cOlored glass. and re-
ligiously made themselves look like a

still living. Some who did not use the

ling which grows somewhat like the
elder. The bush is cut down and the
pith extracted from the stem, which is
afterward peeled, polished, dried and
painted with primary colors in barbaric
style. The simplest form is straight
stem from three to six feet in length.
a more expensive kind is made from a
step with two terminal branches. This
demands much more care in extracting
the pith and enables the owner to offer
a friend a mouthpece on one branch
while he is enjoying another upon a
second. Three-stemmed sticks are also
made, and, very rarely, four-stemmed
ones. These are kept as curios rather
than as useful articles and are sup
posed to have been employed upon es-
pecial occasions in the days of the
Incas.
The bowl is of red clay, gray clay or
sandstone and the mouthpiece may be
of bone or horn or decorated silver and
amber. The length of the stem causes
the tobacco smoke to cool apprecably
in its passage from the bowl TO the lips
and gives a taste almost as mild as that
produced by the oriental nargile. The
tobacco used with it is of rich red
brown color. about intermediate in fla
vor and appearance between Virginia
and Havana leaf. These pipes make
very pretty ornaments for a mantel or
for wall, being much more pleasing
to the eye than the Church warden
familiar to all smokers. They are
strong and durable, but. unless oiled
or vanished now and then, they are
apt to split in a dry climate. Collect
ors make it a rule to oil them on the
inside once q year.

OF all English writers on current po-
litical topics Henry Norman has the
broadcast and best-informed mind in so
far at least as travel and a cosmopoli-
tan spirit are concerned. In view,
therefore, of Russia's present position
as to China and the East, and her APP
parently determined stand for domin-
ance in Manchuria, this extract from
an article by Henry Norman in Scrib-
ner's is suggestive: 1T has been point
ed out that the sea alone stopped the
Cossacks in the seventeenth century,
and when they got to work again in the
nineteenth the Russians crossed the
Pacific and pushed on to within a few
miles of San Francisco long before the
first prairie schooner sailed over the
plains. The map of Asia is a Russian
stepladder; the Urals, Western ST.

gradual descent of her naval base in

you would understand Russia and in
terpret the forecast Alright, the march
of great events, never forget that, for
her, eastward the course of empire
takes its way; that as the sap rises.
as the sparks fly upward, as the tides
follow the moon, so Russia goes to the
sunrise and the warm water. This is
what the history of Siberia strikingly
illustrates, and it is from this point of
view that the great Siberian railway
derives its chief significance"
