| EAas SUPPLY or BABIES
{ s3ts Compiled hy ststisticisn VII Com1 to ~ ny as Something of
 Surprise.

f has been computed that about g,
 10000 babies are born into the worlI each year. The rate of production is therefore about 70 per minute, 0. more than one for every beat of the eiock.
 With the one-a-secoud calculation every reader Is familiar, but it is no every one who stops to calculate whal his means when 1t comes to years supply. It will, therefore. probably startle good many persons to find on the authority of well-known sta risucfcian, that, could the infants oi | year be ranged in a line in cradles, he cradles would extend around the globe
 The same writer looks at the matter in more picturesque light. He imag in0s the babies being carried past a given point in their mothers arms. one by one. and the procession being kept up night and day until the last hour In the twelfth month had passed by Z sufficiently liberal rate is al lowed. but even in going past at the rate of 20 a minute, l,200 an hour, during the entire year. the reviewer at his post would have seen only the sixth part of the infantile host
 In other words, the babe that had 10 be carried when the tramp began would be able to walk when but J mere fraction of It's comrades had reached the reviewers post. and when the years supply of babies was draw ing to a cclose there would be a rear guard. not of infants. but Of romping six-year-old boys and girls

Ar Pressure in Musical Instruments.


 In an interesting article In the Philosophical Magazine" MT Foord refers to Dr. Stones table of wind pressure required to play various notes of the scale on various wind instruments. The table indicates that as the notes rise higher in the scale the air pressure necessary to produce them increases with most wind instru- merts, although not with all In the clarinet. for example. the pressure de- creases from the low notes to the high ones. varying from 15 inches of water to 8 inches. MT Foord re peated these experiments on the clar inet and saXophone. playing the whole range of notes first loudly and then softly. For the clarinet 1t Is found that the pressures fall as the notes rise, agreeing with Doctor Stones ta- ble, although the inverse law holds good for the oboe, bassoon. horn. cor net, trumpet. euphonium and combar don. With the saxOphone it Is found that the pressure corresponding to notes at the beginning and end of the register are equal. the pressure rising to a maximum at the note D about halfway through the scale.

In this county there are a few persons deliberately s.spreadrg misrepresentation about a matter very important to the people. They are knocking one of the best laws eyer initiated hy tte people by saying that Act No. 3, the publicity measure. will st the dear people untold thousands of dollars. We don't deny any person the right to his own opi.- i)n, but where that sopinioo is plainly in conflict with truth and with the facts available for those who want to find out what the facts are. we do deny the right of the holder of such an opinion to spread false doctrine before the public and we boldly chal- lenge the motives of man who will take a stand against the principle that the public has a right to know" We do not for an in,tant!..ha-5or :tHe thought that everybody who opp ,ses \ t No. 3 is either a grafter, a crook ed politician or dishonest public servant, We do not maintain, however. that it stands to reason that every grafter, crooked Ioliti- clan and dishonest office-holder in the state of Arkansas is d ,i. 2 everything in his power either openly or secretly to create sen- timent against the publicity act. When passed, Act No. 3 will show up.these crookedj.ones for what they are. Naturally they have to hatch up.some plausible argument against Act No. 3, for it would never do to admit that they are against the principle ot publicity in spublic saffairS. A politician would4.neyer dare Go that. No indeedl What they say is that they are in favor Cf publicity in principle, but t. a
 the cost is proh;Hitiye. It woull cost the state a half million dol
 lars a year .Aey say, and thi. county two to five thousand dol lars year, to pass Act No. 3. There is absolutely no excuse fol such miSrepreSentatio' When facts are so easy available, delib- crate peddlng of misinformatiol amounts to a dishonorable ant dishonest practice, that is mex cusable. Some of these who < tluently crate against Act No. 3 have never read the act through, and if pinned down to it, will ad- init that they ihaven't. If the! won't admit. it. Task them fev questions about the Act and dis cover their ignorance about matter on which theH seek give you advice.
