In spea king of the river regulations of the ancients Sir William Willcocks. the noted English engineer. said:
 'sCyrus the Great controlled the Gyndes. a tributary of the Tigr1s, in truly original manner. Babylonia was already peopled and lands were needed for his Persian troops. The Gyndes discharges 10000 sectional feet and runs thirty feet deep in sandy and mobile bed. He could build no regula- tor. so he dug thirty canals, divided the waters of the river among them, closed. the river by an earthen dam and com pletely controlled it, As he could never have induced his wild soldiers to dig these canals for. any useful purpose. he took advantage of the fact that his fa- vorfte horse had been drowned In the flood and urged his soldiers to dig the canals and diss1pate the waters of the river in such fashion that it could never again drown a horse.-Engineer- ing Record.

Piano Strings.

The tone of a piano or of an tnd1- viduaI string of the same will be high CT in a cold room than in a warm one The reason is not far to seek A stretched string gives out certain pitch only when it is of certain. length and certain tension This is shown in the laboratory by hanging weights on a string and plucldng It. The more weight hung on the string the higher the note given out Now. the strings of a piano are metal wires, all of which contract when cooled As they are fastened at both ends, how ever. they remain the same length, but just tighten up-that is, the tension in- creases just as if an extra weight were hung on the end Of course, the effect is not great save in very cola room, but even a small variation In tone may be detected by good musi- clan This Is probably one reason why certain prima donnas always 1n- sist On singing in a room of certain temperature. which, of course. is the temperature at which the piano was put in adjustment with their voices or ought to be.-New York World.

HOW CONNECTICUT PROTECTS HEALTH
 IN SCHOOL WORK
State Board Report Discusses Progress Made in This
 Direction.

Hartford. Sept. 15-The development and broadening area of medical fn- spection in the public schools is dis cussed in the monthly bulletin of the state board of health issued today.
 f'M Medical inspection has been de- veloped,'' the bulletin points out, not only for the detection of contagious diseases and the segregation of the sufferers but for the discovering de- fects which interfere with the schild8s ability to do his school work or which. if neglected, will seriously affect his physical efficiency in after life.
 Pupils have been unable to keep up with their classes the bulletin says, being termed Backward or re tarded.' Inquiries and physical ex- aminations of these eases by school doctors have revealed a surprising fectiye eyesight, hearing and other causes, have been seriously handicap ped in their school work!
 There arex twenty four cities or towns in the state that have medical inspection in their schools, varying a term in others and in 22 towns there is at least an annual inspection,'' the report says. ''In addition to the physicians one or more school nurses are employed in Bridgeport Bristol, Greenwich, Hartford, Meriden, Middle
 
 London South Manchester, Stamford, Toyrington, Wallingford and Water bury.
 New London employees a dentist, who treats free of. charge all cases re- ported by the school nurse. The cost is about $1,200 per annum. Tn Bridge port. $6,000 has been appropriated fer g dental clinic the coming school year.
 tThe reports from towns having medical inspection as a rule show excellent results and state that there has been less sickness with a larger percentage of attendance, cleaner children and the children do better work.y
 The bulletin also urges closer ob- servance sby registrars of the law re- garding issuance of marriage licenses 10 non-residents There seems to be a lack of uniformity in this regard, it Says.
 Other subjects discussed are milk analyzfng, anti-toxin. the use of borax to prevent fly breeding and the care K of the feeble minded.
 By mortality reports received there were 15ss deaths during the month of August. This was 143 more than in July and 49 more than in August of last year, and 116 more than the aver age number of deaths during August for the five years preceding
 The death rate expressed as an an- nua1 rate per- LOGO estimated popula- ton was 16.1 for the large towns. for the small towns 14.5 and for the whole state 15.8. The deaths from infectious diseases were TIT, being Ill per cent of the total mortality.
