IALSO learned a curious thing about audi

on the bill at the time a man named Happy

chap belonged to a musical family, and was
himself a good musician. He played very
swcctlv on the cello; but he always ended
his PLAYING with a lot OF hidcous scraplngs.
This made the audience laugh exceedingly.
One day took him to task and asked why
he did this He replied that, while the audi
encc seemed to appreciate the melody, he
found that until he struck the scheme of
ending up his pieces in this bizarre fashion
the act had never made much impression.
Then asked him why he blackened his face
since he did not talk with the negro dialect
or in other ways initiate the black man. |

and that with his charming personality the

cooled back 70 its original temperature,
when it was found that the water had not
contracted again, but still completely filled
the tube.
1t is almost a universal law that a small
extension in volume OF a body requires the
same magnitude OF force to produce it as to
cause a similar amount of compression, the
forces, however. being tension in one case
and compression in the other. With this
law in mind. it is readily seen that the water
that now fills the tube must be under ten

turc it did not quite till the tube That is. il
has actually been stretched or expanded be-
yond its normal volume for this temperature.
and from our knowledge of the forces that
would be required TO produce the CORE

what this tension must be.

taxed heart being 50 terrible. Having seen
this, simply cannot look at an acrobatic act.
This is also the case with many actors. OF

to have got to this point; but cannot help
feeling gloomy forcboding for them.

A ROPE OF WATER

TT is well known that liquids are among the
least cOmprcSsiblc of substances; this in
spite of the fact that they have the property
of conforming TO any shape of vessel or OF
yielding to any forces, no matter how small.
which tend TO change only their shape.
Thus TO squeeze water into nine-tcnths of
its volume under ordinary conditions, would
require 4 pressure Of no less than three thou
sand atmoSphcreS, or forty-five thousand
pounds, to the square inch. This property
of being almost incompreSSible is one of the
things that render water of service in the
cylinders OF the hydrostatic press and in va
riouS other forms of presses and lifts, includ-
ing the ordinary elevator.
1t is best illustrated perhaps, by an ex-
pertinent tired centuries ago. wherein an
attempt was made TO compress water by
filling a lcadcn shell with it. and then. after
closing, hammering and squeezing the she'll
The only effect OF the tremendous prcssurcs
produced in this way was to cause the water
to penetrate the minute pores Of the lead and
eXudc in drops like pcrSpiration on the outer
found for silver she'll; and the experiment
not only illustrates the relative incompreSSi-
bility OF water, but also the porosity OF these
metals.
But, while it is familiar fact that liquids
Will resist an enormous force OF compression,
the companion fact that they are also ca
pablc OF withstanding tension is not so gen
orally known. At first sight this statement
may appear ridiculous. When water may be
50 readily dipped from pail or poured from
one vessel TO another how can it be capable
Of wthstanding tension? It may be said
that this is not raising valid objection,
since we have not tried To stretch or expand
the fluid in this case, but merely to change
ITS form. If, however, we prevent change
OF form, we find that pure water is capa-
bic OF bearing some fifty atmosphercs of
tension. or seven hundred and fifty pounds
To the square inch.
