Duties of the "Pet" Sheep.

the sheep may be distinguished by their
superior height and shapeliness and by
the intelligence of their expression. The
pets are murderers. In the other pens
sheep come and 90 by thousands to the
slaughter, but the pets remain. They
are trained to lead their fellows to death.

Transmission of Sound.

1t is generally supposed that sound.
like light, passes through solid bodies as
an elastic penetrating wave, but late ex-
periments by DIR. f. L. Tufts show that
this is not the case. The transmission is
by to and fro vibration of the solid in
side, setting up new wave on the Oppo-
site side. 1t is found that nothing is
gained by providing an air space be
tween the double walls of telephone
booths and of other rooms intended to
be sound-proof, but that the greater ri
gidity secured by placing the walls in
contact would more than offset any ad-
vantage of the air-cushion.

Origin of Term "Watered Stock"

Daniel Drew, once the wealthiest oper-
ator in Wall street, is said to have orig
mated the expression ''watered stock ."
In his younger days he was a drover,
and it used to be said that before taking
his cattle to market he dosed them Iber,
ally with salt and then gave them all
the water they wanted, thus materially
increasing their weight. Hence the ex-
preston which describes the expansion
of speculative stock beyond its actual
value.

PATRONS OF SAVINGS BANKS.
Women are Often the Custodians of the
Family Resources.

Among the 36.029 persons who opened
new accounts with the Philadelphia Saw
ing Fund Society i'll 1898, there were TO-,
30 males and 1850 females. This pre-
ponderance of females does not indicate
greater thrift on the part of the women,
but is an illustration of the well-knOwn
fact that in America the women, though
they do not participate actively in the
business of their husbands, as in some
European countries, are very frequently
made the custodians of the wages of the
men, TO spend or to save, as they are
thrifty or improvident. These new de-
positors have also been classified as to
an occupation, and this classification
shows to an extent mt least the social
condition of these particular depositors.
