A Tale DearinE Marble.

Lord Kelvin once surprised his class
by the quick and amusing manner I'm
which he solved a problem on sound.
In the midst Of an experiment Lord
Kelvin had ceased lecturing and was
silently watching along with most OF
the students the progress OF an expert
ment. There was dead silence. which
was suddenly and rudely broken by
the sound OF a marble which an mat
tentive student had purposcly dropped
and which continued to roll and drop,
drop. drop. down all the tiers OF bench
es till 1t reached the ground floor.
Meanwhile Lord Kelvin had quickly
turned around and observed where the
marble emerged on to the floor. He
counted back the number Of times he
had heard 1t drop and then announced:
Mr. y. Of the seventh tier, you may
report to me after the lecture"
