scientist has said that If he could place
bass viol on every floor of the Woolworth
Building, tune them exactly alike and sta
tioning himself across the street with an
other instrument, he could in time play
down" the building-leave not one stone
on another.
When heavy truck rumbles by your
house, sometimes the windows rattle and
the dishes in the cupboards. Now suppose
there was sound that would make every
single thing in your house move in SYM
pathy with it. Pretty soon the dishes
would waltz to the edge of the shelves and
topple Sver., The shelves, rafting to the
same note, would pull from their nails and
the chimney bricks loosen in the mortar
and slip down.
There is such note for every thing in
the world. 1t is called the fundamental"
and it differs according to the size, shape
and material of the thing.
You could destroy life itself with sound.
You have heard a note, sometimes, on a
church pipe organ that pounded and
throbbed inside" until it actually hurt you
That was because that organ pipe was very
near the fundamental note >of your body
Had the organist struck the fundamental
and kept playing it long enough, he would
have literally torn you to bits
If that is "hunch" to some scientific
criminal-let him make the most of it. 1t
will not be much. Fundamentals are not
the easiest things in the world to find

Man Is Cheapest
Bearer of Burdens

Not a wheeled vehicle is seen in all West
China except the wheelbarrow, near Cheng-
tu. Thousands of tons of commerce pass
over these highways annually, all on the
backs of men; and IS we approach the
centers of population we find the sewage
and the water of the city are on their
backs also.
The Back of Man" is the unwritteu epic
Of this land; for, Atlss-like, it bears the
world upon it The coal and other min
erals from the mountains; the cities, with
their walls and towers and all that they
contain; the wood on the hills and the
grain of the plain-all, together with the
pigs on the way to market and the men
who can afford it-all have ridden or ride
upon the back of man.
The reason is not far to seek Il is
purely economic. Man is the most efficient
machine and the cheapest animal, and so
il comes to pass that he is the universal
animal, the omnibus of commerce and the
pack mule of the race.
1t is cheaper to wear men down than
keep roads up. When he falls, few care
and still fewer pity, for others are eager
to fill his place. Should we offer TO take
the burden from his shoulders, he would
regard il as taking the rice from his bowl.
