The Reason Why.

What causes the winds whistle?
The whistle of the wind is caused very
much like the whistle you make with
your mouth or the noise made By the
Steam escaping through the spout OF
the Kettle. You do not hear the wind
whistle when you are out in it. You
can hear it when you are in the house
and the wind is blowing hard. When
the wind blows against the house 1t
tries to get in through all the crev!ceS'
under the cracks of the doors, down
the chimneys, wherever it finds an
opening. And whenever it starts
through an opening that is too small
for it, it makes a noise like the steam
coming out of the spout of the Kettle
provided the opening is of certain
shape.
Not all the noises made BY the
wind, however, are made in this
way. The wind, in blowing against
things, makes them vibrate like tne
strings of piano or violin, and when
things vibrate, as we have already
seen, they produce sound waves
which, when they strike our ears, pro-
duce sounds of various kinds. nc
wind even on ordinary days makes '''
telegraph and telephone wires hum' "S

your ear against a telegraph pole'

"But, darling" he purred, u na''

New York. July 11.-Justice Norman
Dixie in the Supreme Court In Long

brought by Ryon to recover
from the John Wanamaker Company
two mortgages of SIS, 900 which he had

Dixie held that the mortgages must be

The Justices decision contained a
Vigorous excoration OF Mrs. Ryon who
he declared, seemed to answer the
definition of "Vamp' as the word is

the subsequent piling up of debts by
Mrs. Ryon, the courts decision says;

Coombs hardly received fair
trial at Williams this year, as he

of rather doubtful variety. No blame
is placed at his door for the fact that
