One Way to Break Glass.

1t is scarcely credible. but 1t is fact,
that a glass can be broken by the voice.
Ii you strike thin wineglass while
you hold 1t by the stem it wilf emit a
certain note-in most cases a pretty.
deep one. On approaching the glass
rapidly TO your mouth and shouting in
to 1t the same note as loudly as posi-
Bile, the vibrations OF the glass being
thereby extended, It viii be shivered
into fragments This used to be u
favorite experiment Of J.ablache. the
renowned basso, who, when in COM
pany with his friends. thus broke one
after the other all the glasses that
were handed to him.

A GIRLS NATURE.
Little Signs That, II Is Said, Reveal
Phases of Character


Much Of a girls nature is betrayed
by the little act of brushing a speck
off a mans coat If she picks off the
thread or imaginary bit Of lint very
carefully between the thumb and fore
finger ii is an indisputable sign that
she is woman Of very practical and
executive character.
On the other hand. If a girl should
brush the coat lapel Of her fiance very
softly and tenderly with the second
and third finger of her hand in her en-
deavor to remove an invisible speck it
is sure sign that she is more senti-
mental than practical. The man who
marries her will live in a continual at
mosphere Of romance and bad house
keeping.
There is still another type of girl
who will brush the speck off mans
coat with a broad sweep Of the hand
In which all the fingers and thumb play
a pars. She is in all probability an
athletic girl WHO excels at tennis, golf
and the links and who will prove a
high spirited, strong minded woman
after marriage.
Then, again, the girl who puts a
flower in a mans coat with her hand
held jauntily upturned from the wrist
and the flower held in the tips of her
fingers is sure to be something of a
coquette. while the maid who gives
you only the tips of her fingers when
she greets you in the drawing room or
public street is probably an ambitious

The Return of a projectiIe.

The question is often asked. "Will an
object thrown into the air, either from
the hand, volcano or even when shot
from a rife or cannon, return to the
earth with the same initial velocity
with which it left?" The answer is: A
projectile thrown vertically upward
into the air will return with a velocity
less than the initial. In the air the ac.
celebrating force which acts during the
descent is not equal to the retarding
force during ascent The retarding
force is the same for the weight Of the
projectile and the atmospheric resist
ance, both acting in the same direction.
In the descent the accelerating force is
the difference of these two, since they
act in opposite directions. In a vacuum
1t would be different. In that case, the
weight of the projectile being the only
force acting. this force would generate
In each foot Of the ball exactly the
same amount Of velocity that 1t had
lost in its passage upward. Thus the
final would find 1t with a speed equal
to its initial veloclty.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

timing two ladies was run away with
down a steep hill. The noise and clat

terrific. A Scotch farmer who was
