Wartime Games in Paris.

Nearly all the kids of 1916 have a
father or a brother at the front. They
live in an atmosphere of heroism. All
the little folks-of the lycee, the
common schools, and even of the kin
dergarten-play soldier in the streets
and in the parks. You see them at
their war plays such as Willette has
pictured at Rue St. Vincent de Paul cor
ner much TO our delight, ingenious
plays in which il is hard TO take the
part Of a Boche, and in which justice
would demand that each in turn took
that detested part-but is there ever
any justice, ven here?
All, the tiny ramparts and trenches
that have been built ~ boys and girls
this year on the glistening sands of
the beaches, smoothed by the receding
tide, only TO be leveled when the
tide came inl
The girls in these war games usually
serve as Red Cross sisters they ARE
for the wounded and Nurse them with
jam and make-believe bandages. Or
else they are godmothers, writing jolly
letters to the brave boys at the front.
But there are some, however, who are
never satisfied unless they, too, can
carry a toy musket and take part in
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Magazine.

crinnIe Who Made Good.

An interesting case that came before
the federal employment agency of the
United States was that of a cripple
who applied at the New York office for
a position as barnman on a dairy
farm. The governments labor agent
sent him to a dairy farmer who had
applied for help. When the cripple ar
rived at the dairy farm. the farmer,
greatly incensed at the mans infirmity,
refused to let him go to work, and
Immediately communicated to the
agent his indignation at being supplied
with "a poor excuse for q man." The
agent insisted that the farmer give the
cripple a chance to show his ability.
Also, he made the proposition that
instead of the $50 a month named as
wages in the former agreement, the
cripple should be allowed to work at
the rate of a dollar a COW per month,
he to milk all the cows he could
handle. The farmer took the agent UP
on this offer, with the result that the
cripple has been getting $50 a month
for his work.-World's Work.

CELLO PLAYING HARD WORK
Experiments Show That Four Tons of
Energy Are Necessary TO Play
Single Selection.

A simple air played on the vi0lon-
cello calls for a total expenditure of
energy equal TO two and three-quarter
pounds per note or more than four tons
of energy for the single selection, notes
Popular Science Monthly. This is
vouched for by Prof. Poffenberger of
Columbia university, who made some
experiments In his laboratory with the
aid of the famous Dutch 'cellist
Michael Penha.
A special apparatus is necessary to
conduct the tests. Against the surface
of a revolving carbon cylinder is sus
pended a chalk point which is actuated
by a slender wire attached to the
musicians finger. At each pressure
the tension vibrates along the COM
%municating connection and records the
energy expended.
At a recent test Michael Penha at
times raised the point to a distance
equaling three pounds In weight, that
being the record of the forefinger. The
pressure alone required to produce the
Enthusiastically luscious tones of a
simple Bach aria averaged two and
three-quarter pounds per note. The
total energy expended amounted to
GAIA pounds, or more than four tons.
This same amount of energy would
be sufficient to carry a laborer through
his entire days work. Yet it took but
five minutes for the artist to exert the
same amount of force.

CLOCK TO BE DEPENDED ON
Cleveland Claims the Record Of Hav.
ing the Most Accurate Of Worlds
T~imekeepers.

In the Case School of Applied Sci.
ence in Cleveland there is a clock that
holds the worlds record for accurate
timekeeping. over a period of several
months it showed a variation of only
eight-thousandths of a second a day,
which, in a years time, would be less
than three seconds.
Ship chrOnometers, which are the
most accurate time measuring instru-
ments in general use, cannot keep true
time within less than three to FIVE sec
0nds a month. Marine observations
are absolutely dependent on accurate
timepieces, but ships officers have to
be satisfied if they can adjust their
c-hrOnOmeters so that they will either
gain or lose a certain amount each
day. Then they add or substract and
get absolutely correct time.
This Case clock, says the Youths
Companion, stands on a stone pier. in
dependent of the building. that x
tends sixteen feet TO a natural shale
foundation. 1t is in a small room sur
lOuAlAtEu ny wv OtlltI IOOAlog nh bAAlt
with brick walls. Gas stoves heat the
outer rooms, and electric contact Their
u0meters regulate the temperature.
The gas stove flame automatically
rises or falls with the variation in the
outside air temperature. Thus on warm
days in August the flame in the gas
stove is very low, while in below-zero
January it burns at its brightest. In
the clock room Itself the temperature
is adjusted by an ordinary s%ixteen-can-
die power incandescent lamp that is
flashed on and off by another electric
contact thermometer. The school
strictly enforces the rule that there
must never be more than two persons
In this inner oom at one time.
The clock, which stands five feet
high, has three separate dials that reg
lister the hours, minutes and seconds.
It is inclosed in an alright glass jar,
inside of which are delicate instru-
ments for measuring temperature, at
mospheric pressure and moisture, A
small amount of chloride of lime
NI4Nn ID du cDlClcui u6SICNdlinS ma
terial, is kept always In the Jar to alb
sorb the moisture.
BY the aid of a set Of dry batteries
the clock automatically winds itself
every seven minutes. The movement
Is adjusted slow or fast by pumping
air in or out of the glass container.
Observations are made from the out
side through double glass windows
through the separating walls and by
means of a small electric lamp placed
over the dials.
Not only can this wonderful piece
Of clock mechanism be adjusted to
show less than a three second annual
variation, but 1t is also possible to
make electric connections with other
similar clocks elsewhere. With this
as a master clock the others can be
made to keep the same accurate time,
