JUST QUESTION OF SPELLING
Mr.. Wrinkle Cravat Has One Brilliant

She was a c0nceited young thing, as
80 many young things are, have always
been and will continue to be. and. al
though she had allowed Wrinkle Cravat
to call that afternoon, she was treat
ing him quite distantly, for she had
an idea that young men receding chins
and cigarettes were not good enough
for her.
Just as the only thing Wrinkle Cravat
could think Of to say seemed to be
something about going, he had bril-
liant idea.
"Do YOU know, Miss Stimkins-haw
do you know. I think the English
way Of spelling parlour. OUR, you
know, Is so much superior to the
American manner. Haw."

WHY NOT SKATE ON GLASS?
Science Explains Why Any Smooth
Surface Will Not Answer Purpose
as Well as Ice.

Why Is it that steel skates glide so
readily over an ice surface? The
structure of the Ice does not explain
this phenomenon. Nor does this mode
of loc0motion depend on the smooth
ness of the ice-sheet. Glass may be
had with a very smooth surface, but
1t would be very poor stuff to skate on
If available. The sport of ice skating
depends on the fact that water ex-
pandS on freezing; for since ice is of
greater bulk than water, any force that
tends to reduce its bulk will also tend
to change it back to water. AS the
whole weight of the skater rests with
each stroke on the narrow sharp edge
Of his skate, 1t follows that quite
large pressure is exerted on very
small area of the ice surface. The re-
suit is that the ice melts and the
skater glides forward on a film of wa
ter of the width of pencil-line which
Immediately refreezes after the skate
edge has passed.
AilC COlItCl lhc I've Tic SItdl6E luuSJ
be pressure to bring 1t to the melt
ing point, hence the fact that on very
cold ice it is difficult to make the
skates bite" In any event only a
slight amount of melting takes place,
for it requires about 1000 pounds of
pressure to the square inch to reduce
the melting point by one degree cent?
grade. This may seem high pressure
to be exerted by skater, yet when it
is remembered that the edge of skate
is only very small fraction of a
square inch in area, and that ice is
seldom very much colder than the
freezing point (since there is usually
water below the ice sheet at 80
Fahrenheit waiting to be cooled
to the freezing point, it will be
appreciated that this explanation is
quite reasonable.-O. d. Won Engeln in

as that herr" and ;le other jumped
for the doorway discovering Nance.
She had, indeed. the key ia question,
and now realized that these rutiians
must have heard of her father having
a large sum in the house and were bent
on securing it. Her idea was to pre-
vent their possession of the key, as
also to reach the nearest house to give
! the alarm.
The man who had discovered her
proximity dashed after her speedily.
Nance started across the garden in the
direction of the Dyson home. She
realized that her pursuer was close on
her trail. He would soon oyertake her.

receded promptly, his hand pressed to
his side, where the fork points had
penetrated. Nance pressed the assault.
She made a new jab and the man went

companion.
The latter came rushing out. In her
and excitement Nance had
dropped the pole. She was too weak
and overcome to run. He made for
her. She was well-nigh to the fainting
point.
Suddenly a new figure shot across

when one hour later, in the peace and

So much so, in fact, that before the
