a POUND Of FEATHERS
q Is In Reality HssvI.r Than Pound
81 Lead.

The fayorite question with the
school committeeman of oIden
time was, We are told, @Which is
the heavier, a pound Of feathers
or a pound of lead?" The first
rash answer Salmost always used 70
be, "A pound of lead" Then, Of
course, from the older pupils would
come the reply, "Both alike"
If this question was asked today
the old time querist might receive
q decided surprise, for the pound
Of feathers could easily be proved
10 be the heavier. A simple expert
ment is all the evidence needed.
With any accurate scales weigh
out q pound of lead, using ordinary
shot for convenience. Pour the
shot into one of the pans of bal
ance. For the feathers light mus
lin bag will be needed, and care
must be taken that feathers and
bag together do not weigh more
than a pound. When the bag Of
feathers is put into the other pan
of the balance the beam will, after
a few oscillations, come to rest ex-
actly level.
So far the verdict "both alike"
seems to be proved. But place the
balance on the receiver of an air
pump, with lead and feathers un-
disturbed. Cover the whole with
the glass bell jar and exhaust the
air. Slowly the feathers sink, and
the lead kicks the beam. The
pound of feathers is heavier than
the pound of lead.
The truth is that what we call a
pound was not such in fact, for the
atmosphere buoys up everything
within it in proportion to the bulk
Of the object, and the feathers, be-
ing Of greater bulk than the lead,
are supported by the air to a con-
siderably greater extent than the
lead, Removed from this support
ing medium, their true weight is
made evident.
Charles Reade propounded a
similar question in one of his nov
els. A Jewish trader is made to ask,
(Which is the heavier, a pound of
feathers or a pound of gold?" After
awhile he explains to the satisfac-
ton of his audience of miners that
the feathers are the heavier.
Gold, he explains, is weighed by
troy weight, while feathers are
weighed by avoirdupois, and-as the
twelve ounces in a pound troy con-
tain only $3.50 grains, while the
avoirdupois pound contain nearly
1000 grains, the pound of feathers
is, Of course, 1,240 grains heavier
than the pound of gold New

SPANISH ETIouETTE


Street 5ssgars.
From what we saw and from
what happened to us ! made up q
page Of Spanish etiquette. 1t is
probably not correct, but / offer it
as the result Of our experiences.
Other people may have had differ
ent impressions. If you are of the
female sex never wear a short skirt,
a sailor or English walking hat un-
less you are willing to have people
stare at you and sometimes call
after you If You have red hair dye
it or be prepared to be saluted as
'Rubia." Never bow to a man un-
less he lifts his hat first. If you are
a man you may dress as an English
man, an operate tenor or a chorus
singer from Carmen without excit-
ing remark. Never wear glasses.
If you are blind take a dog on a
string. When you sit down at the
table or arise always bow and say,
'fBuenas." This is imperative. You
may jostle people without apology,
but never speak to any one without
saying "your grace" be he noble,
friend or beggar. "Will your grace
do me the favor to bring me my
coffee at 9 o'clock tomorrow ?"
would strike an American bellboy
with dismay. But it is the literal
translation of the Spanish request.
Never tell a beggar to clear out, but
say that you have left your purse at
home and that you will remember
him tomorrow or gently murmur
that God will reward him, whereat
he will smile, thank you and depart
These same beggars, who spring
up on every side, seem to have a
code of etiquette we could not faith
ON. After two or three days there
we're a few who begged only from
me, two or three others who be-
sought Jean. Evidently We we're
understood to be the patrons of GER
tain beggars who out of a crowd of
mendicants were the only ones to
approach us who would take their
dole with thanks or il we said Ito
morrow" would smilingly back
away at once.
A trip into Spain ought to mean
more than sketches of life as we
saw it in a single city. Yet it was
our pleasure to linger on in Mad
rid, with the exception of three
days spent in Toledo and the Escu-
rial, for the whole of our two
months holiday, and to return di-
rect to Paris without seeing any of
the southern country, so beloved by
other tourists. So can any one won
der that to us Spain means Madrid,
the city of marvellous contrasts p
