OLD JOKE IS SPOILED
Pound of Feathers Weighs More
Than Pound of Lead.
Has Been Established as a Scientific
Fact-Matter of Volume Is the
Point That Must Be
Considered.

The old joke, which is heavier, a
pound of lead or a pound of feathers?"
is not quite such joke as 1t seems at
first glance. Archimedes taught US the
truth that body immersed in liquid
or gas receives an upward push equal
to the weight Of the liquid or the gas II
displaces. Suppose we arrange a bal
ance so that one of its arms can be
introduced under the bell of an air
pump, and place upon each Of its arms
a weight, say one pound, both weights
made Of the same size. They will ex-
actly balance each other. II we ex.
haust the air from under the bell, pro-
ducing a vacuum, we remove the up
ward push, and the arm Of the balance
that is In the vacuum descends. II
on the contrary we compress the air
under the bell we make the displaced
air weigh more and consequently the
upward push is increased and this arm
Of the balance ascends.
1t is manifest that the greater
amount Of air displaced the greater
will be the upward push. Suppose now
we balance pound of lead on one arm
and a pound Of feathers on the other.
They will, of course. exactly equal
each other in ordinary air, for they
were both weighed In ordinary air.
Now let us put the whole apparatus.
including both weights, under an air
pump. The pound Of feathers dis
places far more air than the pound OF

ing removed by the exhaustion Of the
air, the pound of feathers descends
and the pound OF lead ascends, prov
ing that the seeming paradox that a
pound of feathers weighs more than a
pound OF lead. is no joke but a scien-
tific fact.
Therefore it may scientifically be
said that of two substances having the
same weight and not the same volume,
that having the larger volume is really
the heavier.

Mink Gets RIa Trout.

While crossing the bridge over the
creek near H. p. Johnson's sawmill at
Bethany, Wayne county, New York,
George Bennett saw a mink dive
through the ice and catch a large
trout. Bennett called to Monroe Tyler,
at the mill. and the two men pelted
the mink with stones in an attempt to
capture him.
Benefits dog assisted by chasing
the mink to his hole, from which the
two men dug him with pickaxes. When
the mink was finally killed he still re-
tanned the trout, which measured IA
inches in length, in his mouth.

Establishment of new and adequate
quarters for the House of Detention and
enactment of a law for the segregation
of Juvenile from adult women prisoners
at the institution are suggested by offi-
Gals of the Juvenile Court as the sole
remedy for the deplorable condition
caused by unusually long confinement of
prisoners.
Seven days and nights Of confinement
in the present overcrowded House of De-
tention with inmates of varying degrees
of morality and immortality caused Grace
Bowles, I6, to leap. with suicidal intent,

pain from a broken ankle.
An Investigation has revealed that the
average period Of confinement of juve-

offenders have been kept there as long
as thirteen days.
Long Confinement Admitted.
Oficals Of the Juvenile Court admit
that children sent to the House of De-
tention-about % per cent of the total
number-are locked up for an average
period of nearly a week. They admit
that this is an unwholesome situation.

the small annual appropriations.

Annapolis. June 1l.-Thoroughly aroused
over the repeated insinuations and re-
hections upon the institution and the Of
ficers connected with It. Rear Admiral
J. W. Fullam, superintendent of the
Naval Academy. addressed a communi-
cation to the board of inquiry now con-
Quoting an investigation into examination
irregularities. asking that he and the
corps Of officers under him be made par
ties to the proceedings and be permitted
to be represented by counsel, to hear tes-
timony and cross-examine witnesses.
The board declined to grant the request
at this time.
Following this action on the part
Of the board. Rear Admiral Fullam,
after the session ended. explained his
reasons for desiring to be made a de-
fcndant to the proceedings. One strik-
ing feature OF his statement was the
assertion Sjustifying the giving out of
dope" to the midshipmen, in order
to enable them to concentrate their
efforts before examination on the par
ticular subject matter which is gem
orally covered by the examination
questions. He declared that he al
ways demanded that the instructors
impart this information to the Mid
dies. as on account of the wide range
of studies which they were compelled
to cover IN given period, tney were
justly entitled to 1t.
The rear admiral a witness was call
ed to order more than once by the presl-
dent Of the board. He attempted to ex-
plain certain testimony given by Capt
Phelps. and was informed that he must
confine himself to what the testimony
actually was.

hearing of testimony of the midshipmen

effect that a large majority Of the MEM
beers of the first and second classes had

to be good dope" when examination day
rolled around.
Midshipman r. r. Baugh, Of the sec
ond class, declared that he has received
such information and declared he did
not consider II his duty to report the
fact that there was a leak and that
he thought the middle who took the trou-
Bile to make such report would be

that defeat was to be preferred to
Democracy personified by Sullivan

stands.
