scientific problems. The accompany.
ing diagram shows the whole thing
plainly.
Somewhere in the path of the pro-
jectile are placed two wire screens,
marked C and D, each formed of a
simple frame, across which a wire
runs back and forth, forming part OF
an electric battery circuit in which an
accurate .timepiece, T, is also inter
posed.
AS the ~projectile, on being fired
from the gun, passes through the
r c, the circuit of which it is
a part is broken and the clockwork is
started, the index originally pointing
to zero. On passing through the other
screen, D, the %projectile interrupts the
second circuit, with the effect of in
stantly bringing the clock mechanism
to a stop.
Knowing, then, the exact distance
between the two screens, usually sew
eral hundred feet, it follows that by di-
viding it by the number of seconds or
fractions of a second marked on the
clock dial, representing the time that
has elapsed during the passage Of the
projectile from screen G to screen D,
we obtain the number of feet per sec
ond that the ~projectile was travelling.

TINY HATS THE VOGUE.
Some Seem Merely to Serve as Foun-
dations for Trimming.

Some Of the hats worn by fashions
elect are so tiny that they merely
serve as foundations for the trimming,
which is always massive in effect.
One of the smartest Of these is a
diminutive turban of empire green
velvet, made to be worn at a pro-
nounced angle. It's crown is set ross
ways of the brim, which is narrow and
rolling and heaped with tiny twists of
velvet that end in a sweeping bunch
of loops. Extraordinary tail feathers,
the like of which was eve seen on a
living bird, dropped from the left side,
almost touching the shoulder.
With the smart set empire creations
are most in evidence. One New York
society leader wears a white felt en-
pire shape that is wonderfully becom-
ing. One side of the brim is caught
up with a marvellous rosette of white
velvet, from the center of which
shoots a full bunch Of white cockatoo's
feathers. The high bandeau is shaped
to the head and banked with malina.

SOME APPROPRIATE AND HAIR
MoNious ACCESSORIES.
Hostesses Now Devote as Much Atten-
ton to This Feature as to the
Menu-Recent Ideas That
Have Met With Favor.

Every host and hostess realizes the
Importance of appropriate and har-
monious table accessories, which to-
day occupy quite as much attention
as the luncheon or dinner menu itself.
Indeed, these festive details go far in
imparting character and beauty to the
whole, charming the eye as we'll as
squirting the palate.
A branched electrolier may be very
effectively employed as a center piece
for the dinner table. Bank the base
with little pots of asparagus or maid
en- hair fern, putting them on inverted
bowls or broad fiat dishes. At the
base, to prevent the pots from show
ing, lay a strip about six or eight
inches wide of green crepe paper.
Arrange the pots so that they will
partly overshadow the green paper.
Choose yellow and white chrysan-
themums of good size, entwining these
around the electrolier and placing
here and there among the greens,
finally encircling around the green
paper, leaving on their own foliage.
For an entree or an ice a chrysan-
themum case would be an excellent
choice. If you are clever in fashion

BEHIND HIS BACK.
A Trick That viii Amuse an Evening
Company Immensely.

Public entertainers of all kinds are
always anxious to get on good terms
with their audiences. One of the sur
est methods of attaining this is to de-
ceive the spectators with some, appar-
emily genuine, trick, and to then, as
it were, allow them to discover that
the feat is really a bogus one.
A good example of this is afforded
by a conjurer, who, putting a plate on
top of pedestal, places a billiard bali
upon it. Facing the audience, he steps
in front of the pedestal, then steps
aside again, and, 10, and behold; the
billiard ball has disappeared.
The performer searches" for the
ball, and soon. pretending to see it

it, and holds it aloft in his right hand

SHAPED LIKE AN UMBRELLA.
Pincushion Made of Old Pieces of Silks
and Velvet.

A pretty, and at the same time dur
able pincushion, may be made in the
form of an umbrella. 1t will, per-
haps, meet the needs of those who,
when renewing their toilet table ac-

particularly suitable for hanging upon
the mirror frame. To construct, OBJ

keep the ends as close together as
possible, and bind them firmly round

The perivations Of Words.

There are some very funny stories
told about the derivations of words,
since people are likely to twist their
language into strange forms. Thus,
the pope is even to-day called by the
name .pontifex," which boys in the
latin class all know is taken by him
from the title of the old Roman priests.
Now "pontifex'' means bridge builder,
and it is true that the Roman priests
in the early days of the republic were
in charge of bridges; but scholars tell
us that the word "pontifex" probably
should be "pomptifex," meaning max
er of ceremonies" Many OF you have
wondered what the priests had to do
with bridge building, and this little
change of mt" to mp makes the
whole matter clear

THE STORY.

TOR three days the children of Is
j rael had been encamped by the side
of Jordan. The swift-moving stream
flood full, for it was the time of the
spring freshets and the waters had
overf1owed their banks-seemed to
separate them efectually from the re-
gions which stretched out on the
other side in verdant beauty as far
as the eye could e e And more than
ever did the people turn with half en-
vious eyes upon their brethren of the
tribes of Reuben and Cad and part
of the tribe of Manasseh as they saw
them comfortably settled upon their
inheritance. Their focks and herds
spread themselves over the plains and
seemed to share the feelings of their
masters that at last they had found
rest and were at home.
To be sure Moses had granted their
request in asking for inheritance upon
that side of Jordan, but it seemed to
the people waiting there by the side
Of the swollen Jordan, separated from
their own inheritance, that the tribes
of Reuben, Cad and Menasseh were
getting quite the best of matters. And
now it vas the third day since Joshua
had summoned the people together
and had declared that within three
days they should cross jordan. What
a day that had been! What rejoic-
ing in the camp, and how the people
had made haste to move from Shittim,
where they had been encamped for so
many weeks, and to come to the very
brink of the river.
And Joshua had sent out messages
to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites,
and to half the tribe Of Manasseh,
saying.
Remember the word which Moses
the servant of the Lord commanded
you, saying, The Lord your God hath
given o rest, and hath given you
this land. Your wives, your little
ones and your cattle shall remain in
the land which Moses gave you on
this side Jordan; but We shall pass
before your brethren armed, all the
mighty men of valor, and help them;
until the Lord have given your breth-
rem rest, al he hath given you"
And the Reubenites and the Cad
ties and half the tribe OF Manasseh
had promised that they would do even
as Moses had commanded, but the
first day had passed without their put
ting in an appearance, and then the
second and now the third day had

Queens Memoirs ABRIDGED,

The publication of the late Queen
victoria's letters, written and re-
ceived by her during the most inter-
esting part of her reign, has again
been postponed. The real truth is
that SO many painful family revela-
tions, which would affect living mem
bers of well-known families, have been
discovered that a wholesale revision
of the three volumes is now being
made. Many heads Of families have
approached the king on the matter.

be made public, with the result that
his majesty has now ordered that no
letter shall be printed until it has

to be of absorbing interest in spita

was the way in which the first de-
tector was made. Now the boys use
an electro-lytic receiver. This con-
sists of a hair like platinum wire,
which is partly contained in a recep-
tacle containing acid, to which 1t is
fastened by mean of a screw adj
justment. Another Turning coil is
used, similar to the nj used in send
ing, but in this coil there are many
more turns of wire. A sliding con-
tact is employed, and in this manner
any part of the coil can be used.
A receiver, attached to the head,
similar to the one used by telephone
operators, is used. The sliding con
tact is then moved up and down IN
til the apparatus responds.
The general aim of all experiment.
ers in the field of wireless telegraphy
at the present time is t discover a
selective system of transmitting
sages. This is a system whereby it
will be possible to transmit messages
from n point to another without
outside stations being able to inter-
fere or butt in"
This latter is now the greatest de-
feet in wireless te%legraphing, as other
stations than the one intended get the
message. Of course, these may not
understand the message ii 1t is sen in
a code, but they are able to bother the
sender and receiver to a greater or
less extent.

and the navy men, both enlisted men
and officers, are much interested in
the work of the amateurs.
Last winter Charles Fielding, a mes
senger boy employed by the Postal
telegraph company, constructed a
wireless station and sent and received
messages. So interested did Com
mander Albert Gleaves of the torpedo
station become in the apparatus and
work of the messenger boy that he
visited the improvised station at
Fielding's home, with the result that
Filding was enlisted in the navy,
though two years under the age limit.
This last act was waived, as the navy
was anxious to have the services of
the young expert. Commander
Gleaves made a full report of Field
ing's apparatus to the navy depart
ment. Fielding is now an electrician
in the navy, and is stationed at the
Brooklyn navy yard.
Manuel and Rooney spend prac-
tically all their spare time working
and experimenting with their outfits,
and have made several improvements
and additions to their first rather
crude apparatus.
In the part of the apparatus which
is used for sending messages, a con-
denser and a Turning coil are used.

There is a beautiful picture
here in this service which the
Reubenites and the Gadites and
part Of the tribe Of Manasseh
performed for their brethren.
1t emphasized the vital reIa-
tionship which one bears to 9TH
ers about him, and the RESPONSE
biIity which one must share in
securing blessings for the lives
of others.
These men had found their in
heritance. They were at home
with their wives and little ones,
and flocks and herds. From a
purely selfish standpoint they
had nothing more to gain by war
and conflict.
But they must needs cross Jor-
dan, too,for their brethren needed
i. them. These had not yet found
rest. They had not yet come
: into possession of their inherit
ance, and so the Reubenites and
: the Gadites and the men of Man.
asseh willingly left their pos
sessions behind to serve their
brethren and help them obtain
the blessing in which they were
already rejoicing.
There is nothing which Is re-
ceiving so much emphasis to-
day as the duty which nan owes
to his brethren. Every man
owes something to his fellow
i. man.
Have you attained the land of
:. promise, and come into your
rightfuI possession? Then your
. duty towards your brother who
has not yet obtained the bless
ina is increased many fold.
You must not, you cannot say:
This is mine, ] will enjoy it.
Let my brother look out for him
self. Nay, the fact of posses
sion is the call to duty outside
of yourself and for the sake of
others.
"And they passed over armed
before the children of Israel"
1t is one thing to be willing to
90 and another thing to go
armed and prepared for the con-
fiict.
The preparation which these
men made was the earnest of
their purpose to face danger and
to be of real SERVICE. They
didn't hold back but they took
the lead. There was not a cow
ard among them, and no shirk,
watching for the opportunity to
escape hardship and toll.
"As Moses spake unto them"
Here was a pledge made months
before which was now being full
filled.
It is easy to promise some
thing, but how hard to fulfill. In
the flush of gratitude and de-
!. light at coming into possession
of so pleasant a land, no doubt
It was easy to say: 1--WE will
90" But when the weeks had
sped by, and they were occu-
pied with the enjoyment of
their inheritance, then it was
that the test came. Israel found
them true men, and doubtless
their enjoyment of their posses
sions was enhanced by the con-
seriousness of f~aithfuIness. They
had promised, therefore they
would serve. All, if only all our
promises which we are so ready
to make were as faithfully kept.

Is regulated with this apparatus by
moving the chips in either an upward
or downward direction. After ascer-
tanning precisely the right position for
a certain station, 1t is an easy matter
to keep this In mind, and no further
trouble Is experienced. Though other
stations than the one they are call
ing may receive the message, 1t Is
heard most distinctly by the station
to which the apparatus is adjusted.
The greatest improvement over the
earlier instrument is in the wave de-
tector. Two pieces Of carbon, with an
