Children Find u an Attractive Task
TO Learn Their Notes by Use OF
Electrical Device,

BY using the electric music teacher,
children will ind that It Is an attrac-
tive task to learn their notes, instead
Of dry lesson as Heretofore. so that
they will begin to take an interest In
music at once. and not consider 1t
drudgery. says the Popular Elec-
tricity.
M. Pierre Cells, a Paris inventor,
makes the device which we illustrate
here. II is based on the principle OF
using an electric contact plate under
the music paper. BY pricking each
note with a sharp metal point, we
make contact for an electric device
carrying a hammer, so that the ham
mer strikes a string or preferably
metal piece to give cut the sound.
Thus each note or line or space gives
out its corresponding sound, and 1t is
an easy matter to read simple piece
of music in this way.

Heirs OF Peace and Joy.

Peace and Joy may be and ought to
be our unbroken experience. For the
only thing that can cause break in
our peace or Joy is our coming into
direct conflict with God. And Jesus
Christ offers to do away with all such
conflict for US. He completely and con-
tinuously reconciles us to God II we
will let him. Our God is a God OF
peace and Joy. His own peace Is
never broken. His own 10Y is never
quenched. He does not ask US 10
wait for life in the next world before
sharing the very experiences OF his
own present life. Only our refusal TO
do this. by distrusting him, or REBEL
ing against his will. can defraud us OF
this conscious experience OF union
with the life of God. And Christ Is
always at hand to enable US ever 10

EDUCATION NOT ALL MENTAL
Man Who Could Not Swim 10 Refused
Diploma by Authorities at the
Columbia University.

The authorities at Columbia univer-
silly have refused to award a diplima
to a senior who has not learned to
swim the length of the pool in the
gymnasium. A few years ago such
action would have been deemed alb
surd. There are those who are unable
to swim the length Of gymnasium
pool and a students qualifications for
degree of bachelor of arts, says the
st. Paul Pioneer Press. They are the
people who believe that the only bene-
fit to be derived from attendance at
college is obtained from books. The
requirements imposed at Columbia is
an Indication OF the more practical
turn that Is being given to educational
effort In recent times.
While most boys learn to swim with
out the aid of college or even common
-ehooi instruction, there are few
tninss acSifed- 1universit of
more practical value. Every one not
physically disqualified should be mod
erately proficient In the art Of keep
ing afioat In the water. 1t is simple
thing, easily learned and should be
part of the education of even grade
school children. Columbia Is setting
a good example In Withholding d.
ploma from man who cannot swim.

ROPE TRICK IS EXPLAINED"
EnoIish Writer Makes Explanation Of
Cunning ArtInee-Does Not Ap-
pear Conclusive.

The Indian rope trick, which no one
who has seen 1t performed has ever
satisfactorily explained, Is explain
ed by J. N. Maskelyne. an English
writer
Mr.. Maskelyne dismisses the trick
Us follows: Indian conditions Of at
mosphere are necessary to the sue
cess of the trick The spectators face
the setting sun and are sheltered
from 1t by an awning. The rope used
Ia evidently jointed bamboo with the
joints made to lock. Up this rope
or pole boy climbs to height Of
about 30 feet or so, till out Of sight OF
the people. Then he disappears" as
though into space.
What really happens, Mr.. Maskelyne
explains, is that the spectators are
blinded by the setting sun and that
the boy climbs up the pole or rope and
then drops quickly to the ground. Be-
fore the astonished onlookers know
anything about 1t he is covered up
with a sheet.
This is the most ingenious attempt
at an explanation of the trick yet
made, but 1t will not appear conclusive
to all who have witnessed the per
Torrance. The trick has been witness
ed at Khandalla--a hill station near
Bombay-and again at Delhi at mid
day, without any awning being used or
any effects but the rope.

Go to the man who is carving stone

points you to the builders plans. This
is only one stone OF many. So, when
men shall ask where and how is your
little achievement going into Gods

keeps the plans. and then go on doing
your little service as faithfully as IL

LITTLE TROUBLE
TO GROW HERBS
Not Used as Extensively for Me-
dlcinaI Purposes as Form
erly-Sage Desirable.

The herb In the garden seems to
have gone out Of fashion. as 1t Is sell
dom found In the modern garden.
Herbs are not much used for medical
purposes any more. at least not In
the way that people used to use them.
Those who use them for seasoning
probably prefer to buy what they
need rather than to go TO the trou-
BILE OF raising them. II is little trou'
BILE to grow them. however.
Good. rich soil is required. and then
all the weeds should be kept out OF
the herb bed. The beds need cover
ing OF straw leaves In the fall for
winter protection. Sage Is a very de
sirable herb for any garden. as the
powdered leaves are excellent for sea
soning many articles OF food. Sage
leaves should be cut three or -four
times during the season. dried and
placed In covered Jars Or cans.
