Eight horses stampeded the track,
each one looking fit for the race ct
his life. They're Off" cried the
starter as the steeds tore past the
grand stand.
"Hatasoo leads at the quarter by
a length!" cried some one in the
grand stand Jackson beamed with
joy.
"Hatasoo leads by two lengths at
the half" soon followed Jackson
doffed his hat and wildly cheered. His
friends slapped him on the back and
were all kicking themselves for not
having played the little horse, too.
"Hatasoo still leads!" rang out q
voice as the horse passed the three
quarter mark.
They were now coming down the
home stretch and every neck was
strained with eagerness. The noise
of the horses hoofs was drowned by
the applause. The grand stand fairly
shook. 1t was beautiful race to
watch In another second the horses
passed the string. The clapping
ceased and there was lull. The race
was very close.
"Sombrero wins by nose!" came
a voice from the judges stand. "Hata-

Jackson's head dropped. His eyes
rested on the ground.

say. 81 knew some kind of hat was

interesting experiment and easily veri-
fed by any one inclined to skepti-
cism.
1t is said that the ear can distin-
guish eleven octaves of sound but as
rule those made by quick, short vi
brations are more easily conveyed. For
instance, the whirr of locust makes
more distinct impression than the sigh
ing of the wind through the trees. A
whirlwind in it's approach is noiseless;
it is only when it strikes some OBJ

the secondary shorter waves from the
destruction of this obstacle.
Tyndall says all friction is rhythmic.
Flames are notoriously sensitive to
sound. They will bend and flicker, and
even respond with leap of quivering
light to high shrill sound. This is
another interesting experiment. If We

GERMAN POLICE TOUR.
Berlin Police President Admires the
New York Force.

Count Won Bernsdorf, president OF
the Berlin police, who recently re-
turned to Germany from the United
States, has submitted to Emperor Will
liam written narrative of his expert
ences and observations in America,
with appreciative notes on the New
York police.
The police president and his five
travelling companions, four young
guardsmen and junior attache of the
diplomat-service, happened to be sent
this wise: The emperor was talking
to group of subalterns at the Casino
of Potsdam early in December, and
asked them where they were going for
their holidays. One was going to
Paris and another intended to visit
Bohemia
why don't you go where you can
learn something's" interrupted the en-
peror go to America. You shall go
as my guests, and tell me all about it
when you come home
He thereupon selected a party, In
cluding Count Won Bernsdorf. The
emperor paid all expenses. The party,
after reaching New York January Z
last, went through the West Indies
and afterward spent three weeks in
New York. Count Won Bernsdorf, with
detective sergeant detailed by Police
Commissioner Greene, studied the po-
lice system of New York.
The thing which most astonished
him was that he was not bothered in
the streets by dissolute women. The
count told a newspaper correspondent
that he especially admired the size of
the New York policemen, their smart
uniforms and their courtesy, and he
referred in his report to the large, well
ordered police stations of New York
and contrasted them with the rooms
occupied by the Berlin police. But"
the count added, using recent addi-
tion to his vocabulary, ''the Americans
have money to throw at the birds"
Since his return Count Won Berns-
dorf has timed the Berlin firemen in
responding to calls. He found that it
takes three or four minutes to start
an engine in Berlin and contrasted
this with New York's thirty seconds to
do the same thing.

The Odor of Sanctity.

The sexton of an Episcopal church
in Boston has many stories to tell of
the remarks and comments made by
visitors. One Christmas, when the
church was beautifully decorated with
evergreen and frs, an old lady walked
up the aisle to the chancel and stood
shifting the air after everyone else had
left the church. Don't it smell
solemn" she said at last to the sexton
as she turned away with evident re-
luctance. Il don't know as l ever
realized just what the 'odor of sanctity'
meant before to-day. We don't have
any such trimmings in the church l
