SALT WATER MORE BUoYANT
Considerable Difference Between the

A Chinese lad dropped his ball In Q

according to q writer in the Illustrated
Sunday Magazine. So he poured wa

float the ball to the surface. Az the
ball was slightly heavier than water,
1t remained on the bottom. Then he
thought Of mixing salt with the water,
as he knew that salt water would noat
denser objects than fresh. This he
did, and was rewarded with the float-
ing ball.
This particular fact IL demonstrated
at the mouths Of rivers. Objects roll

HIS OLD SWEETHEART

Uncle Eustace seemed to be as old
as the hills. He was about forty-five.

is an immense age. He was very
rudy, very gray and very clean-look-

movements. He used to come to spend
a week with US three or four times a
year. Uncle Eustace was papa's

a sort of affectionate contempt in his
