Questions Answered
I. Q. What makes soap bubbles
round?
A. A soap bubble assumes this
shape because a sphere has the
least possible surface area for it's
volume. Surface tension causes the
bubble to assume the form which
has the least surface area.
2. @. Does the discharging of a
rifle cause one noise or two?
A. There are two separate noises
when a gun is discharged, the re-
port noise and the bullet-flight noise.
3. Q. What makes flowers smell
sweet?
A. The fragrance of flowers is
due to special essences or oils which
the plant produces. These oils are
complicated compounds of only two
elements, carbon and hydrogen, and
are known as volatile oils, since
they escape readily into the air.
4. @. Since women rode horses
astride in early times, why was the
side-saddle invented?
A. 1t is said that the side-saddle
was introduced in England in the
fourteenth century for the use Of a
queen who was deformed and could
not ride astride. The fashion set by
royalty was followed by others, un,
til almost all women Of western
| countries were using the side-saddle.
5. @. When were envelopes first
used in this country? "...
A. Envelopes came into use in
the United States and in England
between 1910 and 1850. The first
practical machine for making en-
velopes was patented in England in
1914, and the first American patent
was taken out in 1S49.
6. Q.WWhen was the first diction.
airy published?
A. The earliest record Of a die
tionary is that made in Nineveh in
the seventh century, B. G. The
dictionary in its modern form dates
| back to the work of the Greek
Sophist Appollonius, who lived at
the time of Augustus.

UPHoL28 FOREIGN PROTEST.
Matin Condem- Stage Ridicule of Men
of Other Nations.

That foreigners in Paris are too often
being made the butt of ridicule by vaude-
vile performers and music hall artists IS
the opinion voiced in a recent number OF
the Paris Nlatin. the writer suggesting
that there is need for reform in this di-
rection.
"Onr of our American friends" he
writes. at some music hall of Mont
martre. was very much shocked to see
there 01r0dy of the Washington confer
ence. in which the principals expOunded
ridiculous arguments and the French rep
resentativc laid down the law to the other
delegates i'm first class fashion.
In reality. alas nothing of the sort
happened. But leaving historical fact
aside, the atrociOuS lack of tact and good
taste of such performances is to be con
demned. The mind of the foreign specta-
tor is not necessarily like our own; he
has the right to q more sensitive skin in
some regards. When in some cabaret
Lloyd George is attacked in the presence
of an EngliShman. the latter. even
though one of the bitterest antagonists of
the prime minister, iS not pleaSed-hc Is
acUtely annoyed. and no wonder. lie did
not come there to see his prime minister
criticised, and he asks in all fairness that
the subject be avoided.
Nor are other foreigners spared Ital-
ians, Yankees, Spaniards and Peruvians
often pay a high price at a box office to
see themselves ridiculed. We want those
who come to Paris from abroad 70 leave
with Il pleasant impression of us. but
these pin-bricks and this public rallcry
are not going to particularly please them.

A NEW FACTOR IN PANTS.

IGe Pigment Is said to Lessen Costs.
\ white pigment has recently been
put ON the market in England which is
essentially Il white oxide of anthony,
but which, it is asserted, has entirely
done away with the objections which
previously existed in connection with
the compound known as white oxide of
antimony.
\ late British trade bulletin has the
following to say regarding the new pig
ment: This compound white oxide of
antimony) has previously been tried for
Tigmentary- purposes, but. owing chiefly
to the fact that it was impossible TO
produce a compound Of consistently good
color, the experiments led to no practi-
cal results. The new process which
has been evolved is said to be one
which has brought out and developed
all the latent qualities of the substance
so that. although chemically it is an
timonT oxide. vet physically and as a
pigment it may be regarded as an en-
tircly new substance

to the full by those who have had ex-

common in ordinary makes of antimony
oxide
The opacity of the new compound is
said to be- due to the relatively high re
fractivc index combined with fineness
Of division. 1t is said to be particularly
effective in retaining its opacity when
reduced with filters, SO that a COMPARE
lively large percentage Of filler may be
used with the compound in the pToduc-

Anthony oxide is harmless from an

sential to stimulate the plant growth
despite the old-fashioned idea that re-
tarded growth and low temperature
were synonymous.
Dr. Coville removed healthy BURBERRY
plants during the summer from their
outdoor beds and placed them in a
greenhouse, where the plants were
maintained at ordinary growing tenn
peratures such as would have kept the
plants in luxurious growth during the
spring and summer months. Despite

instead shed their leaves and shortly
lapsed into condition of complete dor

and Exhibited at Galleries of Guild
of Boston Artists.

Scenes i'm the West River valley in and

the public eye in Boston within a few
days in the form of paintings by y i.

a Boston correspondent to the Springfield
Republican Of April 20:

return from abroad, where his work
under q travelling scholarship was inter

December / worked such havoc with the
trees in the neighborhood of his Belmont
studio that the region became unpalnt-
able. So the artist went to Vermont,
where his headquarters were at Jamaica,
and his paintings are of that neighbour
hood-the West River valley.

FROST AND PLANT GROWTH.

Intensive Investigations Of DR., Fred

ment of agriculture, which have been
conducted over a period of 10 years
and which have covered every phase Of
this subject demonstrate that both OF
these traditional theories are erroneous.

But every drop responsive thrills
To Aprils tender rains.
And when the Springtime spell succeeds
On Winters frigid scene,
No color on the earth / love
Like honest Irish green!
There is magic, an appeal,
In Natures varied lore
That make the Spring familiar seem,
Yet new forever more.

Sweet treasures Turk unseen.
