II monarchs have often permitted
themselves the indulgence of making
puns the fact has not been recorded In
the pages OF history. One pun, how
ever. is assigned to King Frederick
William ~. Of Prussia. II is said that
on the occasion Of court ball he was
standing near the middle Of the dance
hall IN conversation with an exceed
ingiy thin ambassador. In the haste
and excitement Of fiery galop a lieu
tenant OF the hussars danced with his
partner between the monarch and the
person whom he was addressing, and
then. seeing what he had done. he be-
gan to stammer abjeot apologies and
explanations.
'Oh, that was nothing" replied the
king, with hearty laugh. "A hussar
must 20 without fear through thick
and thin"
A whimsical glance from his own
portly figure 10 that OF the slender am
bassador accompanied this answer. and
the hussar felt himself not only par
doned. but invited to share in the
kings laugh.

The reason deaf people cannot hear
is that the drum of the ear is imper-
feet or has been destroyed. Sound is
nothing but the vibrations of the air
acting on the drum of the ear. When
people are quite deaf it is because the

brations. but they can still feel these
vibrations even IL they cannot hear
them When number OF deaf mutes
are sitting in room together and one
wishes to attract the attention of an
other he strikes his heel on the floor,
and every one In the room feels the
vibration and looks around TO see who
