The train, with a respondent wall,
disappeared down twin lines of pol
ished steel. and the slim girl who had
been the only passenger scheduled
for that deserted spot watched its de-
parture with a heavy heart. Ihls
seemed TO sever the last tie binding
her TO the happy past.
She gazed curiously o her. The
little hut of a station was brazenly
unconscious of paint. and the sultry
summer air was so still that the dull
droning OF a bee came plain to her
from across the d~aisy-cluttered fields.
The new arrival was a slight crea-
tire. dressed with exquisite taste, but
with an expression in her dark eyes
that told OF recent tragedy. A nomad
breeze, s%pringing into sudden life,
teased at the wavy wisps OF her
brown hair.
The girl, anxious and seemingly
lcurious, stared first up and then
down the dusty pike. At last the
whirr of a rapidly approaching auto
mobile came to her ears, and a great,
yellow machine hurried around a dis
tant bent, slowing suddenly as it came
toward her.

and a radiant young person sprang

In these days of COW testing, the

scales so very handy are, as we all

SCIENCE
AND
ORIGIN OF TIE OCEAN TIDES
Producing Agents Are Sun and Moon
and Law by Which They Act Is
That of GraVitation.

The tide visits us practically twice
a day. rising to a height that can be
measured by so many feet. In many
places il N only once, and is
measured by inches. The tide pro
ducing agents are sun and moon. and
the law by which they act IS the law
OF gravitation. This law declares that
there is a force of attraction between
two bodies, or, to put it differently,
that every particle Of matter IN the
universe attracts every other particle.
the attraction depending on their M
tual distances and their mass. TAI
ing the moons attraction first, it is as
sumed that the whole Of the earth is
covered by the ocean. The moon at
tracts the waters, and that layer OF
water Immediately under the moon
gets heaped up on the side nearest
the moon. High tide will be there.
The waters on the distant side are
heaped up also, and this is a little de-
tail that puzzles most people. because
here one would naturally expect low
water. The reason of the seeming
paradox is that the waters on the dis
tant sides are thousands of miles fur
Their away from the moon than is the
earth's center. The earth thus gets
more of the moons pull than the dis
tant waters. These waters heap them
selves up away from the earth and
moon, and high tide will be there also
The observed tide is the effect of both
lunar and solar pull. OF the Two the
suns pull is the weaker, because OF
his greater distance from the earth.
At new moon the height of h tides
is increased. Sun and moon then pull.
in the same direction. At full moon
there is also an increased height. sun
and moon then reinforce each other,
though they are on opposite sides of
the earth

HOLDER FOR SMALL CHANGE
Eliminates Difficulty Of Picking Up
Silver Coins from Glass Cases,
Counters, Etc.

The difficulty of picking up coins
from the top of glass cases, counters,
etc. has resulted in the invention of
umerou articles to facilitate the col
lection of change. There are rubber
mats and felt mats and followed glass
trays galore, but one of the most pre-
tentious of these devices is that de

Rest for the Milk Maker.

Whenever a cow has been SO bred
as to produce milk continuously when
fairly well fed it is better for the COW
to feed her well and continue to milk
her up to the time of calving. But 1t
must be remembered that such COWS
are phenomenal and do not represent
the common run of good tnot bad)
dairy COWS. Hence, as a rule, ii is
better to allow the average COW ST.

riod and the freshening.

Oyster Shell Window Panes.

On the west coast of India is found
a species of oyster whose shell con
sists OF a pair of roughly circular
plates, about six inches in diameter.
These plates are thin and white. They
can be, and are, used for window
panes; they admit light and have the
appearance and effect of frosted glass
but look much more ornamental.

of it and curves under it to the cen
ter of an extended base. There Is
room both above and below the pan
TO turn it and insert a hand.
The change is laid on the tray and
the customer holds his hand beneath
it and tits it, the coins thus being
dumped off in a twikling. There is
no clawing necessary, as when the
money lies on a fiat surface that is
immovable. The tray is made to fold
in the center and can be closed when
not in use. At the top of the support
are clips adapted to hold notices or
advertising cards.

Novel French Brake.

The resistance OF water TO a paddle
wheel is utilized in a novel French
brake for motor cars. A beyel wheel Is
loosely mounted on the shaft between
the engine and the gear box and can
be clutched to the shaft as desired.
The bevel wheel meshes with a pin
ion having attached a fan, or paddle
wheel in a small water tank. On us
ing the brake the paddle is set in mo-
ton. and the resistance Of the water

Treat Animals Gently

1t will mean a loss to the FARMER to
have the COW afraid of him. IL is a
loss every time she is frightened. To
run a COW to pasture is like throwing
money away. A cow in n way wor.
ried will not do her best. n COW
that is made a pet of will make money
for her owner. The milk OF a fright
ened or abused COW is poisonous.
