that the echo ceases when you come within about a hundred feet.
 This Is because the interval between a sound and Its echo becomes smaller as you approach the echolng object, so that when you are within less than a hundred feet the echo blends with the original sound and prolongs 1t instead of being heard separate ly. You must have noticed this drawing out Of the sound if you have ever spoken or shouted In q large empty hall, such as an armory. Sound travels at the rate of about l 100 feet a second, so 1t takes less than fifth of q second to go hundred feet and back. Now, a nfth of a second is about the smallest interval that the ear takes note of and q repetition of q sound within fifth of a second Is heard as proongaton, not as distinct echo.
 If the echolng object Is further away the interval will Dc greater If the distance Is 550 feet there will be whole second between the sound and its echo. There is, there fore, time to get in four other sounds-that is to say, nt this distance you can pronounce five syllables very rapidly before you hear the echo of the first Then the echoes of

thus escape all injury.
 Guided by the White Zany, however, the evil minded donkey cavorted about the arena, kicked the boxes out from under the feet of the Beef Eaters and left those pompous persons to swallow rage and tan bark.
 The White Zany, jealous of the Black Dwarf, who had been greater favorite with the Duke of Winchester than he was, had determined to put his rival to death. although he pretended that the affair was all an accident
 The tent was in the greatest confusion. The guards ran about hither and thither, knocking their halberds together and cry ing "Orderl order!"
 The White Zany, stretched upon his gaunt hands, seized the Black Dwarf and spun him about until nothing could be seen but a dark object and q white and shining face. The evil minded donkey kicked and paved and prayed. The men ran to the ringslde and tried in vain to catch the beast They were sent sprawllng in every direction. The women hid their faces in their hands and wept and the children added their wallings to the general uproar.
 "Disperse the crowd!' orderd the First Lord of the Treasury, and even if it does cost money cut down the tent"
 "The pole will be certain to strike the Black Dwarf on the head" said the Duke. ''l will give a thousand crowns to the man who is able to save him."
 Muchslash, tho Ambassador, then rose to his feet, anti making low bow to His Grace of Winchester, remarked that he would De only too glad to rescue the unfortunate acrobat. The Beef Eaters cleared the way to the tanbark ring, and Muchslash, gath erng up his long robe, went blithely to give aidl His old spirits, which had been under a cloud. returned, and he was the same jovlal soul who had gone singing through the forests of his native land.
 Gripping his magic shears, he ran into the ring and made three long slashes toward a common center With the first slash he cut the evil minded donkey almost in two; with the second and third he freed the Black Dwarf from the back of the White zany, caring not that at the same time he cut out large piece of the zany's back Then with il quick motion NIuchsash joined the severed ends of the zany and the donkey, while the Black Dwart, frightened but free and un. hurt tumblcd to the ringside.
 But even in his descent he found means to revenge himself upon his enemies, and in passing the donkey gave him such vigorous poke in the stomach caused that evil minded animal to toss up his hind legs and dash from the ring, sending the White zany sprawling on his neck.
 So delighted were the Duke of Winchester and the rescued dwarf at this that they prostrated themselves before Muchsash and vowed they had never seen such magical use of the shears. But just at the moment of his triumph there came shout from the doorkeeper, "A messenger from the King of Freak1and, he cried, ito demand the surrender of the Ambassador Muchslash!"

"Armless and on his last legs!"

 These remarks came from nowhere in par ticular, and the Ambassador was puzzled

 Three flaps for the Jointless Jap.
 ''The Black Dwarf, His Majesty's ebon- sprite. Long may he pinei'
 An ambassador, indeed! Looks like a Turk!n
 Muchslash found himself surrounded by persons in red velvet suits and green gowns. who tugged him this way and that and shouted in his ears:
 Why not the White Zany?" Hush. man, the Black Dwarf, and the honors or inc ring!'
 You vii pardon me- said Muchslash, gazing upon the strange company, IT fall to understand your highly inteligible com ments. Do you mean that the White Zany has refused to sail red on green damasE, or Is this merely call for additional dozen.
 "A bakers dozen." cried the Man in Black, elbowing his way through the crowd Red lemonade for true knights and peanut brittle for the Duke"
 The crowd went to the right and left and Muchslash saw before him large reEt of snowy canvas, trimmed with eight green rugs and held up with ropes covered with red satin.
 Make room for the Ambassador" said two men in mutton leg sleeves who were known as Royal Beef Eaters.
 They do not know that am in disgrace" thought the tailor, and so he smoothed out his raiment and put on his most digniied air.
 "The Duke of Winchester has been wait ing for Your Excellency," said the First Beef Eater.
 He would not permit the Black Dwarf ard the White Zany to ride" cried the sec ord Beef Eater, until the Ambassador came''
 Muchslash was shown into the tent and to him was given seat next to the Duke Of winchester, who with profound bow pre- scented him to the Duchess.
 The trumpets blew and there came page wearing cloth of gold to announce that the White Zany and the Black Dwarf would perform their great feat of riding on the back of a donkey.
 The White Zany was an evil wretch and as he came into the ring on the white donkey Muchslash saw in his face look which boded no good.
 There was another blast of trumpets, and the Black Dwarf. the merriest wight in all Freakland, scampered into the ring.

to save the unhappy dwarf from the plot of the White zany and the evil minded don key, who were fast joltlng him to death.
 "Shoot the donkey said General of the army.
 "Neyer," replied the Duchess. "The Black Dwarf would fall to the ground and De kiled.''
 Two of the Beef Eaters got large net and. standing on boxes, waited for the don key to pass beneath the net which they had extended. They thought that the Black Dwarf would then fall upon the net and

 To cut out the pattern lay the two large pieces so that the short seam indicated on the pattern as the center of the front and the center If the back is put on fold of the material There is seam on the out side of each leg part, and one that runs up the inside nf both.

Then the donkey reared and kicked. Every time the beast arched his back the little fellow pitched into the air. only to alight on the shoulders of the White Zany, who seemed to enjoy the misery of his unfortu- nate companion. The dwarf, although he tried to keep up appearances, rapidly lost strength, and it seemed ony question of a few minutes before he would fall ex- hausted upon the dull red tanbark.
 The Duke of Winchester showed keen distress and asked if nothing could be done

He leaped upon the back of the White Aany and turned a handspring with such grace that the Duke and the nobles loudly applauded his cleverness
 Around and around the tanbark enclosure sped the donkey, while the White Zany and the Black Dwarf turned somersets and spun about on the broad back of that long cared steed. After they had done this for half an hour the spectators saw that the Black Dwarf seemed to be faint and tired, and although he tried to get down he was powerless to do so.
 The White zany every few moments paused to give the miserable dwarf toss.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-03-01

Muchsash, looking out through the door, beheld a regiment of His Majesty's horse approaching and making preparations for a siege. Under white flag man approached and demanded that Muchslash come out in stantly upon the plain.
 (And if any of you wonder how Muchslash, with his remarkable shears, freed the Black Dwarf and sent the evil minded donkey plunslng out of the ring, you may try what you can do with pair of ordinary shears to bring about the same resuit)

CHAPTER III.

Muchslash, the owner of the magic shears, after he escaped from the court of the King of Freakland, pursued by an angry throng, ran with all his might. He was quick hpon his feet for in his youth he had been able to sprint faster than all the boys in his native village, and it seemed as though the and scape fairly flew beneath his swift heels. He leaped over hayricks and barns and stumbled over chimney pots in his mad flight, looking neither 10 the right nor to the left.

 Now, in some places you get number of echoes from a single shout that is to say, the same sound Is repeated over and over.
 This may occur in two ways: There may be separate echoes from several objects at different distances, the echo from the near est coming first, and so on, or the echo may be re-echoed; that Is, the sound may be re fiected back and forth between two hills or walls.
 There Is famous echo in an Italian palace that Is said to repeat 40 times.

Be careful not to take in very large seams, for this will make the garment clumsy At the bottom the tronser legs should be turned up in q narrow hem through which may be run drawing string, so that sort of boomer effect Is secured when the trousers are put on. The fastening Is at each side.
 To make this garment smaller, cut off the same width seam all around and measure the length of the legs to the doll. Be care ful not 10 get them too short through the center; they will draw if you do.
 In order 10 make the trousers larger add seam all around and also leave margin of the cloth when the patterns are laid on the fold. Length is easily added 10 the top and bottom, and the legs should be made corre spondingly wider.
