Air Pressure In Tunnels.

The effects of air resistance are well
shown in the twelve and a half mile
SimplOn tunnel. where an exception
ally high amount of energy is required
for running the electric trains. The
tunnel. which is fifteen feet wide and
eighteen feet high. with sectional
area of $50 square feet, has ventilat-
ing current of $3.50 cubic feet of air
per second. maintained by two blast
fans at the Brigue end and two ex-
haust fans at Iselle. Trains going with
this current encounter less resistance
than in open air up to fifteen and a
half miles an hour, but at higher
speeds or in the opposite direction the
resistance is much greater than out
side. Coasting by gravity down the
seven per 1000 maximum gradient, a
train, even though going with the cur
rent cannot exceed thirty five miles an
hour on account of the braking by the
air.

Queer Tricks Of Memory.

In later life Emersons memory play
ed him some strange tricks. James
Cabot, his biographer. says that he
met him one day in the streets Of Bos-
ton apparently at a loss for something
and asked him where he was going.
ITO dine," said Emerson. with an old
and very dear friend. I know where
she lives, but hope you won't ask me
her name" Then he went on to de-
scribe her as 1.-THE mother of the wife
of the young mantle tall man-who
speaks so WELL" and so on until Cabot
guessed to whom he was referring.
This failing led to pathetic scene at
Longfellow's funeral. After gazing
long at the face of his lifelong friend
as he lay in his coffin Emerson said to
a bystander, THAT gentleman was a
sweet. beautiful soul, but have en-
tirely forgotten his name"

Musical Possibilities.

Modern composers who lack the fac
ulty Of creating original melodies
sometimes try to console themselves
with the reflection that the melodic
possibilities have been exhausted. How
far this is from being true Dr. Ralph
Dunstan has shown: Even with such
short musical form as the Anglican
single chant, which consists in its sim
pie statement of the notes. no less
than G0O0o,000 different melodies are
possible, without regarding the multi
tudin0us differences formed by passing
and auxiliary notes. harmonies and

MURET is FOUND GUILTY
Fake Dentist Said to BE in Advanced
Stage of tuberculosis.

NEW YORK = Ernest A. Muret,
the fake dentist and the intimate
friend of the murderer Hans Schmidt,
was found guilty in the United States
district court of making and having
in his possession counterfeit money.
Judge Hunt deferred sentence to
give the defence chance to produce
Tombs' physician Mcclure to testify
as to Muret's physical condition. Au-
gustin Derby, Muret's lawyer, told the
court that the convicted man was in
an advanced stage of tuberculosis and
could not live through lengthy pris-
on sentence.
Hans Schmidt did his best to save
his friend from conviction by assum-
ing full responsibility for the counter
feiting plan on the witness stand,
