Arts Elder Days

ALI the works Of art buried in an
Egyptian tomb were intended to
last 10000 years. That intention
governed the artists and reacted
upon the style Of the art Of Egypt.
It is a most important fact-per-
haps the most important and fun
damental fact that the student Of
Egyptian art has to remember.
There was no place for passion in
such an art, zone for grace, none
even for charm. Each figure had
merely to be made lucid-plainly
occupied about its business or visi-
bly, shaped in the form required,
and that was all. The art of the
Egyptian tomb was to serve a use
full purpose, not to please. - Sir
Martin Conway in North American
Review.

How Sound Waves Move.


The speed with which sound
waves are transmitted through the
atmosphere depends upon several
conditions. When the temperature
is at 80 degrees +. sounds move
with a speed of 1000 feet per sec
ond, the velocity increasing with
the temperature st the rate Of
about one foot of speed per second
for each degree above the freezing
point. Then again, in damp air
sound moves with a greater velocity
than it does in dry air, no odds if
the dry air be warm and the damp
cold. In water sound moves more
than four times as fast as it does in
air, or say at about the rate Of
4,70O feet per second.
