Another Curiosity of Sound.

Mr.. A. G. Webster reported to the
American Physical society in New
York recently the results of expert
ments on singular difference in the
audibility of sound when passing over
water and over grass. Under similar
conditions of quietness it was found
that given sound could be heard al
most exactly four times as far over
water as over grass. The assumption
that water is a perfect reflector and
grass a complete absorber of sound
waves is not, Mr.. Webster says, suffi.
cient to explain the phenomenon. The
practical Importance of knowing this
popularity, where sound may have to
be sent across a grassy plain, Is evil
dent.-Youth's Companion.

A liniment that is simple to make,
but is very efficacious in results, is
composed of kerosene, camphof gum
and sweet oil. Put a pint of kerosene
into a quart bottle, add as much cam

tie more gum day by day fur three
days; then add half pint of sweet oil,
shake thoroughly, cork well, and put in

Industrial Missionary. Work in
Alabama.

Among the various organizations
at work in the south for the educat-
ing and uplifting of the co1ored peo-
pie, of what is termed "the Black
Belt" (not uplifting by the neck as
is too often the case) is one that, in
its quiet transformations way, is do
ing work that is reaching and
e1evating class of black men and
their families in a manner that
tends to make of them good farm
ers, and in many cases, not only
self supporting, but actual owners
Of good comfortable homes, and
also enables them to secure an edu-
cation suited to their circumstances.
The organization is the Indust-
rial Missionary Association of Ala
bama, with headquarters at Selma,
Ala. Incorporated in October, 1888,
the society is now just beginning
it's fifteenth year of work. The /.
M. A. A. is a land holding society
having for it's object the making of
the Black Belt people good citizens,
by the introduction and carrying
into effect among them of the ideals
of true philanthropy. Believing
that the best way to help man is
to put him in position to be able
to help himself, the managers of
this work first secured 400 acres of
land which they have since increas-
ed to 1000 acres. This land they di-
vide as fast as practicable into farms
of from Is to 80 acres each, and hav-
ing erected a comfortable house of
two or more rooms, according to the
needs of family of two or more
persons, they then give the oppor-
tunity to black people and their fam
lilies TO either buy or rent, on share
basis. These little homes are call
ed in that section of the country,
one mute Id1 lis OuC VI lAOSC
farms will, under ordinary condi-
tons, support one family. If need
be the farm implements and seed
are furnished TO the occupant and
often means of clothing and feeding
the family have to be furnished from
the society's store until crop can
be gathered. Cotton is the princi-
pal crop. There are now on the
land sixty-five families some of
whom are paying for their homes.
Two churches one Methodist and
one Congregational and four
schools are connected with this
work. A railroad crosses the land
and has a station at the society's
store and a postofice keeps this
little colony in touch with the world
at large. A cotton-gin and saw
mill are convenient adjuncts in this
work. This enterprise is the out
growth of years of arduous labor
by Rev. C. B. Curtis and wife who
previous to 1888 had spent ten years
located at Salem in Christian work
and in studying the great problem

Newspapers in School Room.

Prof w. H. Lynch principal of the
Academy school, of Mountain Grove,
Mo-, advocates newspaper reading
as a potent educational factor, and
his pupils devote one morning out
Of each week to. the study of news
paper articles. He is teacher of
the highest standing in his state
and has missedabut nine days work
in thirty-nine years. Prof. Lynch
is a regular subscriber to more than
seventy newspapers and magazines
and has for many years made it a
rule to take every newspaper in his
own county. He claims that he is
the first western teacher to introduce
the newspaper in his class room.
He explained his system as follows:
Il discovered some years ago that
no text book is equal to the news
paper as means of attaining O.
knowledge of the actual, practical,
up-to-date world.
My method Of studying the news
paper in the class room is to have
all the pupils supplied with newspa-
pers one morning each week. Each
student reads an article to himself.
At a given signal the papers are
folded and laid aside, and each pu-
pill is required to tell the substance
of what he or she has read.
Questions are then asked by the
other pupils, and answers are, given
by, those who are able to explain the
points that others do not under
stand.
"Thus the news of the outside
world, fresh from the lives of busy
and practical men and women,
comes into the class room and the
lessons of real life are mingled
with the dreams and poetry of stu
dents young hearts"
