LESSON IN NATURAL HISTORY
Amusing, But Somewhat Expensive
as Miss Patty Realized When
the Goat Was Through.

Miss Patty Shepard of North Thir-
teenth street went to the country with
party of friends on Memorial day.
They stopped at a farmhouse where
some of the party are well known.
Browsing about was an old goat.
When Miss Patty saw her the nanny
was placidly nibbling at few blades
or grass, and she innocently thought
that goats were strictly vegetarians.
On the lawn in front OF the porch she
had put her handsome new peach
basket hat, trimmed with pretty ar
tificial roses. which she had got from
the store the night before. The goat
saw the hat and advanced joyfully to-
ward it. Miss Patty laughed. The
old thing thinks they're real roses"
she laughed. Won't she be fooled
when she smells them?"
Everybody sat still 10 watch the
goat smell the artificial flowers and
walk away. But the goat fooled them.
The next week Miss Patty bought
another hat.-Philadelphia Times.

The speed of transmission varies from 200

more than 10 times that velocity in solid rock
The crust of the earth varies much in differ

AS the waves approach the surface they en-
counter areas of solid, highly elastic rock;
then possibly they pass into regions of soft
1ncoherent sand and clay and weathered

changed as to their character and new set

The form of wave observed in such a field as
has been described is known as a longitudinal
or normal wave and is the kind OF wave In
which sound travels
In both kinds of waves, transverse and
longitudinal observe that the motion OF
the particles is pendulum-like i'm its charao-
ter. Let us consider what we may learn from
the observation OF ordinary pendulum I'm
vibration. Suppose suspend a weight by
means of string and start IL to swaying to
and fro. The distance covered in a complete
swing is termed given above. the ampli-
tude Of vibration; the time required for a
complete swing back and forth is called the
wave period. If we cause the pendulum to
swing to and fro through a greater arc we
observe that the time or period is Just the
same as before; I'm other words the amplitude
width of swing may be increased or de-
creased. but the time or period required for
each vibration is always the same for any
given length. If we shorten the pendulum
find it will vibrate much faster. If we
1engthen it It will vibrate much slower. Pen.
duums Of different lengths, then, have differ
ent times of vibration
Now suppose we combine two pendulums
of different lengths into one Each OF the
component pendulums will strive to do just
what It was doing before and the resulting
notion as shown in figure l. which represents
a double pendulum, will be quite curious In
stead OF swaying soberly back and forth as
every well-regulated pendulum is supposed TO
DO IL takes on a curious Keeling motion. II
we fiji the funnel shown IN the illustration
with fine sand the sand will be deposited in
a beautiful curve not unlike the figure i'm
general appearance although the form Of the
curve depends upon the ratios existing be-
tween the lengths of the component pendu-
lums. A similar effect is produced when two
tuning forks OF different rates of vibration
are caused to. reflect their wave forms by
little mirrors attached C. me ends Of the forks

There is still fourth class Of waves much
more terrifying and spectacular in their eff
fects. These waves seem to have no relation
to the elasticity of the rocks and occur di.
rectly above the earthquake centrum, or cpl
focal district. Their lengths are SMALL they
have very large amplitude of vibration and
are TOO slow to be due to elasticity. In length
they vary from 20 to $50 feet and in height
from Two inches to one foot. These waves
are probably due to reflection or refractior
from the deeper transverse waves when these
iatter waves pass from a highly elastic to
snehtiy elastic medium, and are the most de-
structlYe known. These are tho waves which
