LIKE TO WALK IN PUDDlEs
A GroWn-Up Man Tries 70 AsesSoe .
Reason for This Fancy
Of Boys.

1T may not be q matter Of grave
moment" said q grown-up man. but
] would rather like to know why small
boys like to walk in mud puddles.
Il don't refer now to the boy In
rubber boots; his motives in wading
In puddles and in deeper water I can
understand. He 10 proud Of his water
proof boots and he likes to surfeit
himself with the delightful conscious
ness and proof that they are water
proof: he likes to brave and pass un-
scathed the perils Of the deep water
ways Of the cutters after a heavy
rain; though with his first boots any
way he is likely to overdo this a lit
tie. to keep on trying to see how deep
he can 60 till at last he steps into a
place little deeper than the rest and
gets his boots filed.
: still. can understand the boy and
his rubber boots. but don't quite see
through his fancy for walking or STEP
ping in puddles generally when he has
leather shoes on. Maybe here too 1t
Is because he likes to take risks, or
perhaps It is because of his innate de-
fiance Of rule and convention.
"a bunch of small boys will one
after another try jumping over a pud.
die to see II they can clear it, and
then sooner or later one is sure to
come down within the edge of the
water. But that doesn't disturb him:
on the contrary he rather enjoys that
experience. and then you may see the
bunch wind up by all running or walk.
ing through the water. Why do they
do this. getting their shoes vet and
muddy and getting them wet causing
them to wear out the sooner. to say
nothing of causing their mothers care
and worry not only over shoes but
stockings? But all boys like to slush
through mud puddles. and for that
matter SO do some older people. too
Il like myself when ! have on rub
bers to walk right ahead regardless
Of the pools of water on the sidewalk
In fact I am likely to step in them de
liberately II they are not too deep, SC
that may get the water over my rub
bers to wet my feet. like to slash
ahead unhampered and really in doins
this simple little free action I find
enjoyment. And guess it is a sense
Of this sort that makes the boy find
a pleasure in scampering or stamping
or walking through mud puddles: he
likes to take the risk and see how
much water he can get into without
getting his feet wet. but the thing he
likes best about it Is its defiant unfet
tered freedom"

Measuring Meteor's Speed.

An interesting use has been found
in astronomy for the bicycle wheel.
BY fitting such a wheel with series
OF opaque screens placed at regular
intervals and then rotating it with
the aid of small motor at the rate
of from 30 to so turns in a minute
before the cameras used to photo
graph meteors. one investigator has
succeeded in measuring the velocity
Of the meteor's flight. The principle
depends upon the Interruptions pro-
duced by the screens in the trails Of
light made upon the Photographic
plates by the flying meteor. The
velocity Of the wheel is known at
every instant by means Of chrome
graphic record. and the length of the
interruptions indicates the speed Of
the meteor.

Sturdy Iceland Horses.

The use Of Iceland horses is spread
ing in Denmark. especially in Jutland:
they are excellent farm horses. being
hardy and resistant to fatigue. The
Iceland horse is small, stoutly built
and strong. They are bred without
selection and live in an almost wild
state. There are about $4,000 of
these horses in Iceland: from 5000 to
1000 are exported yearly. to Den.
mark and to England and Scotland.

.,s GETTING the Rescue Habit.

Elsie RadfOrd, the young man VINO
rescued n small boy skater who ha6
fallen through the ice in a deep pond
has again appeared in the role of res
cuer. Thirteenyear-old Margaret Wes
ton was dared to cross the thin ice tc
a little island that poked its head uF
through the ice about one hundred
feet from shore. Margaret wouldn't
take n dare. and in a few minutes she
had crawled stealthily over to the isl
and. and then started back. Almost at
the first step the ice began to crackle
under her. she lost her courage and
retreated to the island. where she sa!
down to wait.
Radford saw her predicament, and
putting on a pair of hip boots, went tc
the rescue. He waded in and made
his way through the broken ice and
water to the island: hoisting the maid
to his shoulder. he waded back - n
waist deep. and carried to dry
land.-Philadelphia Times.
