Musical Sounds and Noise.

It is a curious fact that musical
sounds fly farther and are heard at a
greater distance than those which are
more loud and noisy. If we go on the
outside Of town during a fair at the
distance Of mile we hear the musical
instruments, but the din of the multi
tude, which is SO overpowering in the
place, can scarcely be heard. the noise
dying on the spot. TO those who are
conversant with the power of musical
instruments the following observations
Will be understood: The violins made
at Cremona about the year 1900 are
superior in tone to any Of a later date,
age seeming to dispossess them OF
their noisy qualities and leaving moth
Ing but the pure tone. II a modern
violin IS played by the side of one of
those instruments it will appear much
the louder Of the two, but on receding
hundred PAGES when compared with
the Cremona it will scarcely be heard

The NebuIar Hvpothesis.

The nebular hypothesis Is the name
generally given to the theory put forth
by the celebrated Laplace in "Systeme
du Monde" in the year 1906. His idea
was that the solar system was evolved
mechanically from vast diffused re-
volving nebula, and that nebulae we're
the early stages in the formation OF
planets and their satellites by cooling,
condensation and contraction. accord
Ing to certain laws of mathematics.
This theory was accepted by Sir Will
liam Herschel and, though at first bit
terly opposed in many quarters, is now
generally accepted by astronomers and
scholars and is taught in most schools
and colleges.-New York American.

Circular Plates.

All our plates are circular in shape.
Now, square or oval plate would be
just as convenient Is there any reason
why plates should be of their present
shape? It seems that If we dip into
the far past we may discover the
cause. Our remote ancestors ate their
food off fat pieces of wood cut from
a tree trunk. The tree trunk being
cylindrical in shape, the earliest plates
were therefore roughly circular, and
the shape has been used ever since,

The Word "Ierse.W

'"Terse" is a word that has an under

In the fourth act Of 1.-THE Humorists"
(167D put this question into the mouth
OF one of his characters: "Must I stay
till by the strength Of terse claret you
have wet yourself into courage?" It
Is probably an allusion to what is still
sometimes called dutch courage
bravery inspired by alcohol. Claret
was in those times imported in

When Intensely Cold Air Is Breathed
In Through the Mouth.
II asked an Alaskan pioneer who
was crossing to his old home in Swe-
den what happened when the ther-

exposed ears. hands or nose will freeze
in going a quarter of a mile under
ordinary circumstances, but the chill
dren go to and come from school as
usual without suffering from the cold,
provided their faces and hands are
protected.
"They soon get used to it. But eau
ton must be used to avoid drawing the
cold air into the lungs. and it is dan
gerous to breathe through the mouth.
More die from pneumonia brought on
by freezing the lungs in that way than
from any other form of exposure.
Horses are protected by breathing
bags, which extend down from the
nose Of the animal about eighteen
inches and are open at the bottom.
The breath which is exhaled warns
the air in the bag before it is inhaled
and drawn into the lungs. And men
wear 'parky' or headdress which ex-
tends over the face and affords similar
protection.

name manner, so as to prevent them
from suffering in this way."-Wash-

THE SHORTEST SPEECH,

It Was Delivered by Caesar and Con.
sisted Of Single Word.
julius Caesar holds the record for
brevity Of convincing speech
The story is told that while Caesar
was in the midst of his struggle for
the mastery Of the Roman empire the
soldiers of his favorite Tenth legion
mutinied. He appeared before them.
and, uttering the one word "Quirites."
paused.
That word means, Of course, ''citi-
zens," but to the veterans to whom it
was addressed it meant a great deal
more. 1t was the special term used in
addressing Roman voters assembled in
a purely civic capacity, not as soldiers.
but as civilians.
To the mutinQus soldiers it meant
that the great commander. whom they
had followed for ten long years from
the Alps to the Thames and from the
Rhine to the Pyrenees and across the
Rub1con, disowned them as soldiers
and dismissed them from his v1ctori-
Gus service.
Realizing its meaning, the story
goes, the mutineers were appalled,.
Battle scared veterans burst into
tears. implored their leader to pardon
them and inflicted summary punish
ment upon the meters of the mutiny
as proof Of their repentance.
