caused by the air filling the vacuum

Ain a vacuum there is absence Of

Sound Is sensed by the personality ex-
pressing in the brain by a totally un-
known process. The explosion, there
fore. produces gas. which displaces air
and congresses Il into a state OF great
density. 1t expands and produces the
oscillatory effect on the membrane in

causes vacuum; IL displaces air, filling
the same place with gas to a far greater
density than the original air. The air
returns to fill this space when gas
escapes, but this return does not make a

Advice to LovelOrn

Write Him n Note,

Dear Miss Fairfax have lately
learned to care for young man. some
tlne ago he asked II he might call but
as did not care for him then | did not
encourage his coming
now. Miss Fairfax I hate to seem the
least DIT forward, but can't you suggest
some way might get in touch with him?
l see him seldom, although our families
ara ltfe-leng friends. 1 wouldn't for the
world have his mother or sisters known
that l care. But by his manner / am
sure he cares for me PUZZLED.
1t is little bit odd that since you were
not enough interested in the young man
to aequiesce when he wished to visit you,
you should now desire his company. How
ever you might write a little note sug-
costing that you would be glad to see him
on stated evening-or what would abe
far mole dignified since his people are
family friends. why not have a few
young people in some evening and invite
him and his sisters?

pencil, wrote on a blank page that he
tore from a book and stuck the sheet
in the band of his hat. Then he re-
signed himself to the deep sleep that
came upon him. He did not wake
until the train had pulled into the Lon
don station. and, still dazed by his
slumber, scrambled out of the train
and made his way through the station

throng, reached the street, jumped into
a carriage and was driven home.
The grins of the servants and the
exclamation Of his wife were followed

on the train. Taking off his hat. he
removed the large white paper on

to the general public:

indigestion from eating some con-
founded pork pie!'
