Questions.

This is played by all the company,
with one exception, settling on a
word which the solitary one must
guess. He, of course, goes out of the
room until word has been fixed on.
When he is called in he may ask three
questions. "How do you like ~it?u
ssWhen do you like ftp" and ssWhere
DO you like it?" Each member of
the company must answer the ques-
ton put to him, only one question be-
ing asked each player; but, of course,
the one who has to guess may ask any
of the questions he likes; that is to
say, he is not bound TO ask the ques-
tons in order-he may ask the same
question from two players in success
eion, or he may ask each a different
one. From the answers given he
must find the word decided upon.
The object of the players is to keep
| the secret as long as possible, but
they must all answer the Questions
with suitable remark.

Power of the Waves.

The power Of waves, says NJ. Brou-
min in La Nature, is the sum of two eff
forts, one dynamic and due to- the or
bital movement of the water particles,
the other static and dependent on the
height of the center Of gravity of the
Theory and observation seem to show
that the total power of waves is divid-
ed equally between these static and
dynamic effects. If a body Of water
meets the wall of a structure there is a
shock, and this is most violent at the
water surface, diminishing with the
depth. At the moment of meeting jets
of water rise sometimes to very great
heights.

The duration of the flow of blood ap-

Its Coin Rack, cramned With Yellow

The good old days are gone In these
heather times railroad men are paid
by check. Of the pay car and its luxu-
rious travels G. E. Carter writes in the
American Magazine as follows:
"a metal coin rack crammed to the
muzzle with three denominations Of
yellow boys, fanked with silver, and
on the desk behind it very large
wooden tray, on which were long col
umns of yellow coins-d'ye ever see
anything so pretty in all your life?
No wonder your eyes stuck out until
you >eouId have used them for hat
pegs.
And all the time an eyquisitely mu-
steal 'tinkle, tinkle, clink-clink' welled
up from coin rack and counter in re-
spouse to the calls of the assistant
paymaster. Talk about Beethoyen's
symphonies!
IF it were not for that strong wire
screen you could have touched that
fascinating tray. For1the infnitesimal

I fitted through your brain. Then you
almost tainted as your rowing eye
stared down the barrel of monstrous
