Grey" and Gray"

What Is the difference. II any. be
tween grey" and gray" aside from
the matter Of spelling:
The editor OF the oxford Dictionary
some years ago made extended inquiry
as TO usage and found that opinions In
London varied Replies TO his ques-
tons showed that in Great Britain the
form grey is the more frequent In Use.
despite the authority of DR.. johnson
aud later photographers, who give the
preference To gray Many correspond
euts said that they used the two forms
with a difference of meaning or appli
cation. the distinction most generally
recognized being that grey denotes a
more delicate or lighter tint than gray.
Others considered the difference to be
that gray is a warmer color or that II
has mixture of red or brown. An.
other group held that grey has more OF
sentiment. gray more of color. which
may mean that grey is a suggestion
rather than a positive outline.-New

Hindu Juoulinu.


The Hindu jugglers and acrobats are
the most skiIlful In the world One of
the latest stories told Of them Is about
performer who went through many
wonderful feats perched on the top of
a single bamboo stick about fifteen
feet in height. The top Of the stick
was tied TO girdle around his waist,
and leg rest was provided by a cush-
ion few feet down the pole Perch
ed on this slender stick he hoped and
danced about in the iveliest way, &C.
rompanied by the tapping of a drum.
1t would be considered skillful feat
to walk about with ease on a pair of
stills fifteen feet In height. but this
Hindu showed a marvellous power of
equilibrium on single stick. He did
other things even more wonderful. For
example, he balanced light stick on
his nose and a heavy one on his chin
and then threw the heavy one into the
air with his head and caught II on the
end of "A light one. While balancing
the two sticks thus. end on end, he
made one revolVe In one direction and
the other in the opposite direction.

A Coin In the Sea.

A coin dropped into the sea will sink
to the bottom. however deep it is. ow-
ing to the fact that the metal is heavier
than the volume of water 1t dispaces.
1t is a common but mistaken notion
that the density of the sea increases
with its depth and consequent pres
sure, as does the density of the atmos-
phere. which we all know is greatest
at the earth's surface. The air. how
ever. like all gases. is elastic and when
under pressure (as with its own
weight) shrinks in volume and gains in
density. Water on the other hand is alb
solutely incompressible. and. although
the pressure in the sea increases at the
rate of one pound for every two feet
we descend. the density of the water re-
mains the same; consequently the pen
ny continues to outweigh the water it
displaces. and the coin sinks until it
finds solid resting place The pres
sure Of the water has no influence at
all on the coin. acting as it does on all
sides equally

One Of the most curious results of
geological exploration is the discovery
of buried landscapes" by which is
meant parts Of the former face of the
earth now covered under later depos-
its, but yet retaining so many Of their
original features that the geologist can
ideally reconstruct the scenes that
would have been presented TO the eye
of man if he had been present among
them Sometimes buried landscapes
exist in countries now densely inhabit-
ed. Investigation has shown that one
lies beneath the region in England
known as Charuwood forest. The
rocky projections seen there are the
peaks and aretes Of buried mountain
chain belonging to the old red sand
stone period Several different phases
in the history of this landscape have
been traced. At one time it contained
salt lakes and desert eXpanses. In Its
modern form 1t is a pastoral region.

Permission to wear mustache was

decoration is discarded. Why? In
those old days the Bank of England
would not allow it's employees to wear

have come more appropriately from a

that the mustache was not to be worn

firm In London objected not only to
the mustache, but to hair parted down

now. Men look younger when clean
shaved. They are also more readable

Waiter flight, claiming his residence as Tempe. was taken in custody by the police last evening while negotiating with the Phoenix Auto Company for the purchase of an automobile. His actions showed clearly that he was not of sound mind and an effort will be made today to locate his friends or relatives.
 It was shortly before nine o'clock that flight in his meager attire ap- peared at the Adams street garage. He launched Immediately into the season for his visit. He said that while he had never operated an automobile. he had always had a hankering after the speedy buggies. He expressed a preference for the Sturebaker, although he admitted that in his opinion the Buick was | just as good. If he purchased an automobile he would require the ser vices for a time Of an experienced chauffeur.
 While he was selecting a machine message was telephoned to the DO | lice station and Chauffeur John Lud- lam went over prepared to give the necessary Instructions Ludlam thought it was unwise for Flight to purchase a machine in a hapazard manner and advised flight to go with him to look over some other ma chimes before closing a bargain. Sc he took him over to the city hall and introduced him to Captain Con nors of the night police who is an authority on automobiles of the kind Flight was seeking.
