nominees who have been candidates

In a Bad Way,

Illustrating the i'll feeling that
existed between the Wings and the
Democrats in the old days of Boone
county, William 81. Kennon, an at
torney, told Of a sheriff he knew
who was a Wing and circuit judge
who was a Democrat. A case was
tried by jury. The visiting lawyer
trying the case handed to the judge
some instructions he had written
out with quill pen. The judge
spent a good deal of time examin-
ing the instructions. The lawyer
turned to the sheriff and said in q
whisper, 'I don't believe your judge
can read writing" The sheriff whis-
pered back, "He can't read readin',
let alone 'ritin'."- ."-"Bench and Bar

A STUDY OF WAVE MOTION.
Il 10 the Vibration, Net the Water, That
Moves Forward.

The first great thing to notice
about a wave IA deep sea wave, not
a shore breaker), is That, though the
wave travels steadily forward, any
given particle of the material in
which it is travelling merely exc
cutes to and fro motion. A wave
is therefore the forward motion Of
a vibration, but npt the forward mo-
ton of matter. 1t is, in fact, the
motion of motion.
There are two principal kinds of
waves, the transverse and the longi-
tudinal, these names being given
from the direction Of the vibration
of the medium. In the transverse
wave the motion Of the material is
to and fro at right angles to the di-
rection of motion Of the wave.
Here, for instance, I have a long
strip of corrugated paper lying on
the table. I lift one end quickly
and bring it down again, wave
runs right along to the far end.
Quite obviously the paper does not
travel with the wave; it merely
rises and falls again at points sue
cessively farther and farther from
my hand. The wave travels on,
however, and is quite as clearly a
wave as any other you like to name.
Here, again, is rope stretching
from one end of the hall to the 9TH
er. I give it a transverse impulse
by striking it sideways near one end,
and you see the wave running along
it to the opposite wall, where it is
reflected and comes back to me.
In wave of the sea-namely, a
surface wave in liquid, the vibra-
ton is also transverse, that is to.
say, any particular particle of water
moves up and down as the wave
passes along. You all know from
experience that cork on water
merely bobs up and down and does
not travel forward with the wave.
If the water went forward, Of
course, the cork would 60 too.-
