tne water wave 10 lHt lOWtbI uSp'h VI 'hS ~
The form OF wave observed in such field as
has been described is known as a Longitudinal
or normal wave and 10 the kind OF wave In
which sound travels.
In both kinds of waves. transverse and
longitudinal, we observe that the motion OF
the particles is pendulum-like In its charac-
ter. Let us consider what we may learn from
the observation of an ordinary pendulum In
vibration. Suppose we suspend weight Dy
means OF a string and start 1t to swaying TO
and fro. The distance covered In complete
swing is termed as given above the ampli-
tude of vibration; the time required for a
complete swing back and forth is called the
wave period. II we cause the pendulum 10
swing TO and fro through a greater arc we
observe that the time or period is Just the
same as before; in other words, the amplitude
or width of swing may be increased or de-
creased but the time or period required Tor
each vibration is always the same for any
given length II we shorten the pendulum
we find II will vibrate much faster. II we
lengthen it it will vibrate much slower. Pen
dulums OF different lengths then, have differ
ent times of vibration.
Now suppose we combine two penduums
OF different lengths into one. Each of the
component pendulums will strive to do just
what IL was doing before and the resulting
motion, as shown in figure /, 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. It takes on a curious. reeling motion. II
we Ill the funnel shown in the illustration
with fine sand the sand will be deposited in
a beautiful curve not unlike the figure in
general appearance, although the form of the
curve depends upon the ratios existing be-
tween the lengths OF the component pendu-
lums. similar effect is produced when two
buning forks of different rates of vibration

Soap jelly,

Flannels soaked and washed in wa
ter soap jelly is used in are soft, cas-
lily washed, and it takes but half the
time; for dish washing it is unsur-
passed and for baby napkins the
stains disappear without rubbing if
slightly scalded. l use one cupful of
jelly to one large boiler of clothes on
wash day, and one-half cupful to soak
the clothes in before, to each tub of
water. If the following directions are
followed. one gallon of soap jelly can
be made for ten cents, and once made
the jelly pot will never be allowed to
be empty.
To two bars of family soap, Clipped
fine, add 81 quarts of boiling water;
let simmer on back of stove until soap
is entirely dissolved; set outside to
cool, and when cool enough to hold
your finger in comfortably add one
big coffee cupful of gasoline and stir
well. Set aside and in IL hours it
will have set and the result is one
gallon of white soap jelly that keeps
the hands soft and white and lightens

steak the day you are baking a pud-

When ironing always use the pat

FREAK IN SEQUOIA FOREST
Tree Trunk That Has Stood for Six.
teen Years Severed From
Its Base.

Out in California there is a tree
trunk which has stood for the last 16
years entirely severed from it's base,
says the Wide World Magazine. The
stump is 10 feet in diameter, and the
trunk towers rs feet in the air. This
remarkable freak is located near the
SequOia forest reserve in Tulare coun.
ty, California, and was sawn off by
lumbermen for timber. Through some
miscalculation, when the cut was fin.
ished the tree still held it's position,
and dynamite was resorted to to bring
1t to the ground, which accounts for
the deep cash on one side. After the
first charge of the explosive had been
ignited the tree still remained stand
Ing, and it was discovered that the
entire trunk had been shattered by
the discharge and was therefore use
less for lumber. Accordingly, the
work was stopped and the giant has
remained upright, withstanding some
of the severest wind storms that the
state has known, held in it's natural
position by it's great weight.

The Root of AItruism.

The three eternal roots of altruistic

that 1 ought to help my neighbor to

charity; that I owe infinite tenderness
to any shape OF kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle Of free will; that
