GREAT HARDNESS OF WATER
Try Il by Putting Your Arm Over
board When Riding In q
Speed Boat.

Here 10 q fact which IL probably
novel to the average man who has not
spent much Of his life thinking about
motor speed boats. This is what we
may call the hardness Of the water
when q boat is running at speed.
Water at 80 miles an hour is not the
limpid liquid We are accustomed to
battle IN. II you put your arm over
board from q hydroplane running at
30 miles an hour and strike . wave
crest the probability Is that you will
break your arm or wrist, because at
that speed the water has not time to
give. not time even to change shape,
and striking II Il like striking "a
much metal.
In the great hydraulic mining nor,
Eles, where q stream OF water under
enormous head Is used to wash down
hillsides. Z swordsman, In attempting
to cut Into one Of these streams, will
shatter the sword without being able
to penetrate the water. The stream
is like a bar Of iron. The fact that
water at relative speed is 80 hard
or that its inertia Is 90 great, to be q
little more accurate-is the reason
why . skipping stone travels over
the surface, and 10 the reason why .
hydroplane boat slides over the SUR
face instead Of blowing its way
through.
J. The picture We must have in our
minds, then, Of q speed boat Is that Il
10 travelling not In water, as We ordi:
narily understand It, but over the sur
face Of q semi-solid, very much as q
sled travels over snow. The hard
ness Of water at so miles an hour wa
might compare with the hardness Of

The most savage tribes have their
methods Of circulating news In some
manner which we cannot grasp. Alb!
origines Of New Guinea and Of the
Dark Continent can send messages
for miles at an Incredible speed. Ru-
morS Of the disasters in South Africa
were whispered in the bazaars Of Cairo
before the telegraph had flashed the
news to London.
In the days Of Queen Esther, Persia
had her system Of posts-"Angaroi,"
relays Of runners for the circulation Of
news throughout the empire, and this
system is referred to by Aeschylns in
his famous passage describing how
the news Of the fall Of Troy was sent
by hilltop beacons to Argos.
The Athenians Of q later time loved
only to hear or to tell some new,
thing, but the genius Of Attica evolved
no actual parallel to our modern
newspaper. The nearest approach is
found In the political, comment on the
Comedies Of Aristophanes, and the
published speeches Of such orators ad
ls0crates.
It is to the genius Of Julius Caesar
that we owe the first actual fore
shadowing Of anything like The mod

Acta Diurna, short accounts Of the
daily happenings In the city.
These records. posted in public
places, recorded DEGREES, the results
Of criminal trials, weather phenomi
