Kettles That Sing.

The japanese. who know SO well
how to add little unexpected attrac-
tons to everyday life. manufacture in
great variety Of forms iron teaket-
ties which break into song when the
water boils. The song may not be a
very perfect melody, but it is perhaps
as agreeable as the notes produced by
some Of the insects which the Japa-
nese also treasure for their music.
The harmonious sounds OF the teaket-
ties are produced by steam bubbles es-
Gaping from beneath the sheets Of iron
fastened close together nearly at the
bottom of the kettles. To produce the
best effects some skill is required in
regulating the fire. The character of
the sound varies with the form Of the
kettles. These curious singing kettles
have been used by the people for
many centuries.

Row Over REGATTA Date,

Trouble is bound to arise between
the rowing authorities Of Harvard and
Yale in determining the date Of the
annual boat race between the two uni
versities next June. The complication
arose from the fact that the Yale fac
ulty recently changed commencement
to the week preceding the old date and
also the week before the Harvard
commencement.
Both institutions are eager to have
the race as part of their commence
ment program in order that as many
graduates may be present as possible.
and consequently, with the two COM
mencements week apart, trouble over
the regatta is certain. However. there
may be compromise, with the race
staged in the middle Of the week. be-
tween the two dates. but in that case
it would suit neither college and the
graduates of both would suffer.

Thought Transference.


A game called thought transference
is one Of the latest fads, and it sup
plies great deal of amusement. In
playing the game the person who is
selected to be the subject" is sent out
Of the room. and two Of the players
are selected to transfer the thought -
These two decide on what simple test
the player will be required to per-
form. She may be required to touch
the keys of the piano, to arrange a
cushion or any simple thing, and the
remainder Of the people in the room
are informed what the test is to be.
Then the subject" is allowed to en-
ter the room again, with the persons
who are to guide him on each side,
each holding one of his hands. All of
the company are required to think of
the test to be made, and it is claimed
that in nearly all cases the subject
makes his way, still clasping the hands
of the 'transferers," toward the OBJ
ject selected and then does what is re-
quired Of him. In nearly all cases the
audience will demand several "sub-
jects" and experiments before their
curiosity is satisfied.

The Bur and tha Nut.


Prickly Bur said to Hazelnut:
''Ho, no! l have children three,
And I've shut them tight away from
sight,
Where the girls and boys can't see.
In green spiked cell / have hid them
well
At the top of the chestnut tree"
Then Hazelnut said to Prickly Bur:
Hush, hush! hide but one.
But I've wrapped it round all safe and
sound,
And / think my work well done.
For I've tucked 1t away from the light OF
the day,
From the rain and the dew and the
SUM-
But Jack Frost came with his magic
OF delicate hoar white frost,
No power has ever crossed"
And he found the cell that was hid so
well,
And the children out he tossed.
Then he spied the hut Of the Hazelnut,
That she thought no one could see,
And threw on the ground what inside he
found
While he laughed aloud in glee:
'Ho. no! My will DER valley and hill
No power has ever crossed.
Hear. Prickly Bur: Hear, Hazelnut!
It is ], the king, Jack Frost!'
