Use Of the Time.BalI.

In the Middle ages the tlme-ball
as a means of marking the passing
hours was popular. For the con-
venience of the men and women Of
the various courts of Europe a great
ball was dropped from the ceiling Of
the palace throne room at certain in
tervals. Today, many cities have time
balls in prominent places which drop
at noon to warn the citizens of the
time. Many harbors, Montreal and
Quebec, for instance, still use the
tlme-ball to mark noon and other
hours.
But 1t remained for little coun-
try in South America, Uruguay, to in
augurate a really modern and eff
Client system for sending broadcast
over the capital city, Montevideo, the
time at exactly eight o'clock at night.
At that hour every electric light in
the city grows dim for few seconds,
and the residents set their clocks and
watches.

ings." we see that the end Of each
of It's six lOr < legs makes a slight de-
preston where 1t rests upon the sur

and acts like a springy mattress. The
physical basis of this mode Of action
may be explained as follows: The
separate molecules Of water cohere
with considerable firnness and there
fore offer certain degree Of resist
ance to penetration by any solid mat
ter-but this is true only in case the
body cannot be wet, l. e., II 1t has a
composition like that Of the fats. This
resistance is a result of the surface
tension of the liquid. which acts like
a stretched membrane. This is sufii

Where Washington Wooed.

Yonkers, N. Y, has an interesting
