Edison Tells the Secret Of How They
Strike the Right Note.
Thomas 4. Edison. who has an !ez-
pert knowledge Of every known nu-

aeolian harp. was discussing the great
violinists of the present age. He spoke
with deep feeling.

me completely bewildered. I used to
watch them in amaZement. Every time
one of them shot finger halfway

the sounding note gasped In astonish.
ment. Every time. it seemed, he could
stop that finger correctly within one
thousandth Of an inch. That's what he
had to do in order to make the right
note. And concluded that he and his
fellows were in some way superior to
all other kinds Of people in the matter
Of judging distaDces:
But know better now. After long
and careful observation have discoT-
cred the truth. Those fellows shoot
their fingers up and down with an air
of great confidence, but they never
know exactly where the fingers will
stop. Like any other human being,
they guess at it. Then just as the note
is begun by the scraping Of the bow
their trained ears catch the defect, and
they readjust their fingers. Conse-
quently. although the pubic doesn't
know it. the great violin geniuses OF
the world FIJI their work with a lot OF
notes that start falsely."-Popuiar Mig.

Pounds and WEIGHTS.

Here is question that will tax the
arithmetical powers Of youth. Sup
pose that for some reason OF another
u shopkeeper who sold goods by pounds
and half pounds. but never in quant-
ties exceeding twenty pounds at a time,
was told that he must transact all
this business with four weights only.
What must these four weights be? The
answer is half pound, one and half
pound, four and half pound and thfr-
teen and n half pound. With these it
will be readily seen that any weight
from half a pound to twenty pounds
may be determined in pounds and half
