Yes" said the earnest professor. what we want in literature is direct and simple English"
 The listeners gravely nodded.
 Direct and simple" they echoed.
 Those conglomerated effusions of vapid intellects," the professor went on, which posed in lamentable atti- tudes as the emotional and intellectual ingredients of fictional realism fall far short of the obvious requirements of contemporary demands and violate the traditional methods of the transcend ent minds of the Elizabethan era of glorious memory. Plain and simple English is the demand of the hour"

Lead 6alis Do Not Rebound.

Make two equal balls of lead, shoot them about on a billiard table, and you will observe some actions that seem extraordinary. In the first place. If they strike each other head on they come to dead stop; they do not re- bound. for lead has no elasticity.
 If they strike each other at an angle the result Is what is called a couple; :" the balls rotate around each other for part of one turn and each moves of in a straight line tangent to the circle in which they are moving.
