An ingenious machine has been in
vented by means of which sound can
be visualized. All sound comes from
air vibrations, which radiate from the
center Of circle, just as when stone
is thrown into still pond the water
vibrating into little waves. The air
waves Of sound are, however, invis-
ible, and though they can be measured
they cannot be seen. By using
small flame and rapidly rotating mir

1t is interesting to know how GER
tain flowers got their names. Many
wefe named after individuals. For
instance: Fuchsias were so-called be-
cause they were discovered by Leon
ard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl, who brought them from
Peru. The camelia was so called for
a missionary named Kamel, who
brought some magnificent specimens
or the flower to France from japan.
He called it the rose Of Japan. but his
friends changed it to Camelia. Mag.
nolias were named in honor Of Prof.
Magnol de Montpelier, who first
brought the beautiful tree to France
from America and Asia. Because they
trembled with the wind is the meaning
OF Anemones. The Latin word to
wash is lavare and lavender received
its name because the Roman put the
flowers into the water, when they
washed, to perfume their hands

Shall and will are used as au1ih
iaries in the simple future tense as
follows: 4 shall, thou wilt, he will.
we shall, you will, they will" AS
auxiliaries expressing a determine
ton, threat, command or permission,
their use is precisely the opposite,
as follows: Il viii, thou shalt, he
shall, we will, you shall, they shall"
The exceptions are numerous and the
distinction between the two forms
constitutes one of the most difiicult
things in the language for the for
eigner to master For instance, the
form of the absolute future may be
chosen to express determination in
prophetic way, as you will rue this"
On the other hand, the imperative
form may be used in foretelling to inn
ply a wish or an opinion of the speak

serts" In the United States shall is
