Had Something to Learn.

The village orchestra was rehears-
ing. The passage was marked "pp,"
but the cornet.player was blowing
away as If his life depended on 1t.
The new conductor, after an ear
splitting blast which effectually
drowned the sound Of all the other
instruments, leaned over to see
whether the cornet part was properly
marked. Yes, 1t was.

MERELY A LAW OF NATURE
What at First Looks Like a Peculiar
lty Of Running Water 10 Easy
Of Explanation.

Have you ever noticed. when the
water has almost all run out Of the
bathtub, how the light particles on
the surface seem then to race out
much faster than the water? AS q
matter Of fact, they are travelling
faster than most Of the water; but
no faster than that on the surface.
The reason - not far to seek. Run
ming water, even in a river, goes at
different rates; but fastest on the top
surface right in the middle OF the
stream. Friction with the sides and
bottom makes the water there go
more slowly. So the light particles
on top OF the water in the bathtub,
rush ahead at a good rate.
This popularity in rivers is utilized
by boatmen when they have to go up
a swift stream; they always paddle
up near the bank. And at curves, as
the water swings outward. they take
the inside bank; for there the water
is almost still. On the other hand, In
coming down, the very center Of the
stream is chosen.-Sunday Magazine.

PIMPLES ON FACE AND ARMS
