Interesting Experiment.

The school bell and good legs are
all that are needed for an interesting
experiment in acoustics Students
who make it find it easier, as a rule,
to understand the relation between
pitch, wave length and the number OF
vibrations.
Select the swiftest runner Of the
school Give him a bell and place
him on level ground at some hundred
feet from the rest of the class. At a
signal the students run as fast as they
can toward the bell bearer, while he
himself runs toward the students,
without ceasing for a moment to ring
his bell
So long as some distance remains
between the students and the bell
nothing abnormal seems to occur, al.
though the students without being
aware of it, perceive sound of
somewhat higher pitch than that which
strikes the ear of the bell bearer. But
at the precise moment when the run
ners pass the bell, and instead of run.
ming toward it begin to run away from
it. there is an instantaneous and very
distinct dropping Of the pitch of the
sound, which remains grayer as long
as the distance increases between the
runners and the man who rings the
bell
While the hearers are running to-
ward the source of vibrations, they
meet, in a given time, a greater num-
Der Of these than if both the bell and
the boys had remained in the same
place. When the bell bearer and the
students run away from each other
the hearers go in the same direction
as the vibrations, and the reverse
phenomenon occurs-the number Of
vibrations which reach the ear in ev-
cry second is smaller than il would
have been had all the participants re-
NAMED on the spot.

A Memory Test Game.

Take six coins-a silver dollar, So
cent piece, a 25-cent piece, a dime, a
nickel and cent Have the room
darkened or blindfold the player-let
the coins be passed quickly from one
to another, not in regular order, but,
say-the nickel, the dollar, the 10-cent
piece, the quarter, the cent, the half
dollar. Each player holds each coin
two seconds before passing. When all
have had all the coins, the light is
turned on, paper and pencil are sup
piled, and the players write down the
order in which the coins were passed
The one getting the correct order, or
nearest to it, receives the prize.
Of course, the order is decided upon
by the hostess beforehand.-W Washing

cat Dance to Rubber sane.

A little German restaurant in East
Twentieth street has a frolicsome
waiter who habitually provides much
amusement for the patrons. few
nights ago the Maltese cat belonging
to the house was sitting on the knee
of a man who was eating his dinner,
with his face buried behind newspa-
per- 1t was too peaceful a scene for
the waiter to let continue.
From his pocket he drew huge
rubber band, and winked at the pat
rons at nearby tables, All paused to
watch what should follow, for the
walters prowess as a marksman with
rubber bands was well known. One
evening he had won a bet that he
could put out gas jet across the
room at his first shot with a rubber
band.
Directly opposite where the man sat
with the cat on his knee was door
leading into the room reserved for the
restaurants women patrons. Emile
that's the walters name-took up a
position in the other room that would
enable him to dodge out of sight as
soon as he let drive. The eagerly ex-
pectant neighbors OF the unsuspecting
victim of the coming Joke could
not see him shoot, but they observed
the results.
The thick rubber band suddenly
caught poor puss square in the jowl,
and with fearsome howl OF fright
and pain she leaped into the air and
came down a Kissing, splitting, claw
ing ball OF animated fur plump upon
the newspaper the quiet diner was
holding before his face. In its abrupt
agility his leap fully equaled the cats.
His chair went over behind him, and
the little round table all but went over
in front of him. his glass upsetting
and rolling to the floor.
From his breast the cat richochet-
ted, so to speak to the top of the ia
bic, and knocked off a dish or two in
her frenzied scramble to get to the
floor and escape. The commoti0n
caused all the patrons at the far ends
of the room to stand up. 1t was then
that Emile walked out from the kitch-
EN- as innocently as you please.
What's the matter, Mr. thinner
man?' he asked, with an air of great
surprise.
"Matter!" exclaimed the Indignant
diner. why, the plaguey cat had a
tit!"-New York Press.

THE sAwMlLL.

What dreams were done when these great
hearts were STILL
Winds that would wrestle
With the lone pine all night on yonder
Some outland vessel
Feisned to his hopes, himself her tallest
mast,
Dragon wings wearing,
And driving onward down strange waters
past
Wild isles of daring.
Dream is done and voyage over, i.,,
Here lies low the would-be rover
II the trampled yard
All his waves are waste heaps duSty'
All his ship, the og-car rusty,
And from his wild islands must be
EYermore be barred
Not all is lost: these trunks down loftier
aisles
Shall reaSSemble,
Where the old sunlight on them richller
And pipes that tremble
With wildwood memories, haunted stops
shall blow
Till bees are humming
High in the treetops, and white clusters
grow,
And June is coming.
But the sunset Whistles blowing,
And yon fateful wheel is slowing,
Slowing-sloWing-s still.
Come away; let Silence mend her
Raveled wool, and Darkness lend her
Healing here, till Dian bend her
Young bow Ger the hill.

TO PRESERVE THE HEATH HEN.
Only Few Specimens Remain on the
InIanh nf MnrAh &c MinnAL,rd

Only Few Specimens Remain on the
Island of Martha's Vineyard.
To prevent the total extinction Of
the species of wild fowl known as
the heath hen, the only living speci-
mems of which in the world now are
said to be on the island of Martha's
Vineyard and number only about
one hundred, DR.. George w. Field
chairman of the Massachusetts Fish
cries and Game Commission, has
asked for an appropriation of $500
from the Massachusetts legislature
This expected appropriation, with
about $4,000 already contributed by
public spirited citizens, is to be used
to build fire stops around the breed
ing places of the birds on the island
and to provide for maintaining artif-
cial incubators which DR.. Field pro
poses to establish there.
"The first settlers of the Atlantic
coast found these birds very numer,
Gus from Cape Ann to Virginia" said
DR.. Field. "They were especially
numerous in Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, and
New Jersey, and became an imDor-
tant article of food, but indiscrimin-
ate shooting and sharing, and partic-
ularly forest fires, led to their disap-
pearance on the mainland. There are
now upward of one hundred individ-
uals breeding on the island of Mar
tha's Vineyard, but the number is de-
creasing yearly"
AS the heath hen inhabits the open
country, going into the farming land
and gardens to feed on cutworms,
army worms and other crop pests, 1t
is believed that it could doubtless be
made an important agent in assisting
in controlling such insect pests If it
could be restored to the mainland.
The bird is similar to the prairie
chicken of the Mississippi Valley, but
differs from it slightly in size and CON
siderabiy in color and in the shape Of
the peculiar feathers on the neck.
The general project is strongly urged
by DR.. T. S. Palmer, Of the biological
survey Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture at Washington, and also by Will
liam butcher, president Of the Nation
al Audubon Society, who has written
that the society stands ready to give
assistance financially If it is needed.

SaIlISs
The heroism and tragedy of war are
not confined to it's human participants.
"Sallie" was nothing more than lit
tie dog, but she showed a spirit which
gave her a warm place in the hearts
of the soldiers OF Pennsylvania. whose
Martial Deeds" are chronicled by
Mr.. Samuel Bates. Sallie was brought
to the captains headquarters when
she was tiny puppy, and soon be-
came a regimental institution.
AS soon as the drum beat for re-
veille she was at hand and she never
missed roll call No soldier was more
regular at drill, and on dress parade
she always accompanied the color
sergeant.
Sallie was at Manassas Junction,
Port Royal Shenandoah, Waterloo,
Rapidan, Cedar Mountain and Bull
Run, and in all these battles stuck
close by the colors. Through cities.
towns and wearisome marches she
managed to thread her way.
At Antietam she went into the corn
field with the skirmishers, who tried
in vain to drive her back ball
touched her side, but only marked
her hair At Fredericksburg Sallie
was in the thick of the fight. When
the ranks thinned and broke. she, for
the first time in her life, became de.
moralized Missing accustomed faces,
she sought the rear and was seen to
approach it at a rapid pace. This was
the only time she showed fear.
Steadily sharing toll, privation and
danger, she never struggled or de-
serted.
During the first days fight at Get.
tysburg, she became separated from
her regiment. Returning to the bat
tledeld, she sought out her friends
among the dead and wounded There,
for three days and nights, she kept a
faithful vigil, without food. l .nally
the provost Of her company found
her and carried her back to her own.
Sallie received her first wound at
the aBttle OF the Wilderness, where a
Mimic ball hit her in the neck She
was sent to the hospital and carefully
treated, but she soon returned to the
field, where her first act was to tear
the trousers OF a conscript from an
other regiment who, scared at the fir
ing, had broken ranks and was re-
treating.
Sallie was killed at Hatcher's Run.
as the regiment was making its first
advance. She was buried in the face
Of the enemy's fire, as the adjutant
stated at the end Of his official re-
port
Strictly honest, generally good-tem-
pered, with a strong dislike for wom-
en-. civilians, and strange darkies, Sal
lie lived and died faithful to her regt
ment, and was inferred with the hon.
ors Of war.-Youth's Companion

Journal. The Dispatch says the
spotted fever or meningitis epidemic
in Glasgow continues to spread, and
and is causing much uneasiness to the
city medical authorities. Since Fri
day, six more cases have been adj

of the patients died in six hours.
Since the beginning OF the year no
fewer than II3 cases have been mott
fled in the city, but it was found that
six of the patents were suffering
from some other alment than cerc-

The deaths from this disease dur

which is considered in excess of
those of any previous month during
the outbreak.
At the beginning OF last week, the
