white water. At the farther end two
giant shells Of pale pink, ono to hold the

QUICKsAND THEORY.

Q. One sometimes reads of person
being entirely swallowed up by quick
sand. How can a semi fu!d substance
be less able to float a man than a liquid
medium, which itself will support him
so long as the lungs remain full Of air ?
W. NJ. W.
A. The Geological Survey says that
water exerts a pressure IN all directions,
whereas quicksand exerts no upward
pressure. Consequently, anything thrown
on Quicksand. will sink, because there IS
no upward cOmpensating pressure as in
water. Moreover. a pure quicksand Is
composed Of nearly spherical grains Of
sand which will revolve with practically
no friction, due to lubricating effects of
the water present SO that any body lying
on quicksand sinking downward on ac-
count of the force of gravity will also be
pulled down by the effects of the reyolv-
Ing grains of sand.

me, are the little white clouds that wan

Star Maiden, in a low, sweet voice.
Because" replied Puss Junior, "they
look so like woody little lambs. That is
the reason"
But just then the Evening Breeze awoke
and carried the Star Maiden up into the
sky, where she shone down through the
dusk And then from the distance the
vesper bells began to ring, and they
sounded so soft and low that Puss be-
came very sleepy. oh. yes, so sleepy that
he lust curled himself up on a bed Of
leave at the foot Of a tall tree and fell
asleep.
And then he had a wonderful dream.
SHe dreamed that all the gold stars in
the sky had wings and were flying
through the wood and over the meadows.
But still he slept on and never woke.
and the little gold stars filtered here
and there and everywhere, for they were
only little frefiies, you know, only Puss
was too fast asleep to see that
Well when the morning came Puss
woke up, and, after pulling on his boots.
he once more set off on his journey Of
adventure, and, by the by, not SO very
long, he came to a poor raven who was
caught in a snare. So Puss, who had
soft heart, freed the bird and then fed
him with crumbs from a piece Of bread
he had in his pocket,
you have done me a good turn" said
the raven. IT will remember you" and
then of he few to the wild wood. And
after that Puss kept on his way until
nightfan. when he found himself still
deep in the forest, so he lay down to
sleep, when, all Of a sudden, a band OF
robbers surrounded him and made him
prisoner.
And then they led him to their strong
hold and locked him in a little room in
one of the towers, for it was I'm old
castle where they lived. you see.
"Oh, dear me-, said little Puss Junior
to himself as he sat by the small win
dow and looked out into the moonlight,
who will ever set me free"
"I WILL" cried a voice close at hand,
and then a raven flew into the room, the
very same raven whom Puss had set
free that day from the hunters snare.
And then the raven let key fall from
his beak. Here is the key to the door.

when all is quiet, open the door
softly and creep down stairs. 1 Will be

sat down and waited until the castle was

escaped from the robbers castle.-Copy-
