brake tests shows that a train of
twelve steel cars going at a rate Of
sixty miles an hour can actually be
stopped within its own length. A
train OF this weight stores I'D pa
100000 feet-pounds of energy. This is
suf1acient to raise the entire train 12o
feet with prevailing brake equip

Why do some springs flow inter,
mittently? There are many springs
which flow for a time. then stop. and
after an interval begin to flow again
says the Children's Magazine
Springs of this kind are called inter-
mittent springs. the word intermit-
tent coming from two Latin words
which means to interrupt. Some
where in hill there is a cavity Into
which the rain that falls upon the
hill finds its way through various
channels. Near the bottom Of the
cavity is an outlet for the water,
which curves upward in its course.
AS soon as the water in the cavity is
I'D to the level Of the bend the spring
begins to flow. just as the syphon
pipe empties a vessel Of liquid.
when it stops it will not flow again
until the rainwater has percolated
through the hill into the cavity and
raises the level to the required
height again.

Did Learn Something

The stubborn optimist had declared
there was no one from whom he could
rot learn something
We had disputed him, and had rlotte
to heap confusion upon his head by
shutting him in with the village bore
who never knew anything for use.
After two hours with the v. B., the
s. o. emerged pale. but smiling.
"Arrh-harrh." We snariingly gloated.
And did you learn anything from
him.
Yes" replied the optimist bravely.
I learned what an awful thing it is to
DO q person from whom no one can
learn anything."-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

One writer on the subject Of walk
ing sticks. says: The cane, as we
know 1t. gained its popularity in
France during the eighteenth century,
when 1t came to be carried by rich
people who had no right to carry a
sword. The handles twirled a thin
bamboo cane in their fingers, but the
great fnanciers made the cane a
Iashionable addition to their ward
robe and sometimes paid as much as
10000 crowns for one. This carrying
OF the walking stick was considered
a triumph over the nobility who re-
FUSED the commoners the right TO
wear the sword"

Men discharged from the service and
who reenlist are permitted to sign up

The yellow-breasted chat is an &C.

When these birds sing their musical
