AGREEABLE PLACE TO READ
Train Declared to Be Best Place for
This Pastime, Adherinu to Ger
tain Precautions.

The most agreeable place to read
any book is on the train. One is COM
paratIvely safe from interruption. one
cannot be annoyed by the telephone,
one almost always has good light
both by day and by night.
Two suggestions will be found prac
teal: In general sit on the right side
Of the train; then you will usually
have no track outside your window
On the left side freight trains, running
In the same direction, keep Intervening
between you and the light, and It usu.
ally seems as II every freight train
was at least four miles long; when
your railway car has finally passed II
and you hear the maddened snort OF
the freight locomotive, maddened be-
cause you have escaped, your own
train then stops at a citation lust long
enough to permit the entire rrefsht
train to pass, when once more you be-
gin the tedious process OF overhaul
ing II.
Therefore, sit on the right side OF
the train. Secondly, ride backward
II you can. II Is easier on the eyes
In this attitude, the trees, posts and
landscape fade gently and gracefully
away, whereas sitting forward, they
rush furlously and directly into your
defenseless face. William Lyon

SOUNDS SEEN IN MOVEMENT
Scientists Explain Incident Noticed
During One of the Big Battles
Of the World War.

During one of the big battles Of the
war the sounds of the terrific cannon
aiding in progress were seen moving
across the sky. Great parallel arcs of
light and shade we're viewed passing
swiftly across the clouds, not by one
person only, but by all the members of
battery of artillery. These bands
moved with the exact speed of sound
waves-at the rate Of mile In five
bands was larger for the big guns
than for the small
This strange sight lasted for about
ten minutes and appears to have de-
pended upon the relative positions of
the observers, the guns, and the sun.
1t ls common knowledge that sound
is caused by waves In gases, liquids or
solids. In vacuum-an empty space
sound does not exist. II you could
fire twelve-inch gun from the top Of
Mount Everest, the sound would be
but feeble. Could you carry It much
higher, Its discharge would be in
audible.
There are rays of light which the eye
cannot see, and there are sound waves
which the human ear cannot catch
Ask yourself II you can hear the cry
of bat. Any person who, at the age
Of forty. Is able to hear the thin squeak
Of the bat, has reason to congratulate
himself on being possessed Of excep-
tionally good hearing. The squeak ls
too hight has too many vibrations
per second to be heard by any ear that
is not very delicate.
Some years ago Professor Cation,
the famous anthropologist, invented
and constructed whistle which, by
means Of an adjustable plug, could be
rendered so shrill that presently Il
ceased to be heard by human ears.
But-here is the curious part OF 1t
after the sound Of the whistle had
ceased to be audible to any human ear,
a dog was still able to hear 1t, and
came readily when 1t was blown.
Animals and birds hear far better
than man. 1t was noticed during the
war that pheasants In coverts we're dis.
turbed by the noise Of guns at sea,
when even children (whose hearing Is
quicker than that of older folk) could
hear nothing at all.
Sound travels better across water
than across land. BY actual expert
ment II has been found that across
water person could be distinctly
heard, reading aloud, at distance Of
40 feet, whereas on land the same
voice only Travelled 10 feet.
Across ice, too, and particularly In
hard frost, sound travels amazingly. |
Lieutenant Foster on an Arctic exped- |
ton, found that he could converse
with another man quite easily across
the mouth Of bay which wds mile |
and a quarter wide.
Perfect silence is far rarer than most |
persons imagine. Even in the quietest |
room In the depth Of the country, on
the calmest night, there are always
sounds. Absolute silence Is only found
in deep caves and abandoned mines,
and IL II really terrifying phenomenon.
It makes the ear ache In desperate
effort to catch some sound however
tiny. In such a place the beating Of
ones own heart and the rush of blood
through the arteries will become per-
ceptlble.-Exchange

GLIMPSE OF EARLY AMERICA
Life In Old cooperstown, N. ",
Placid Until the Arrival Of the
"Flre Demon"

Cooperstown, In New York state,
must have been quaint and interest

Fenimore Cooper, the novelist, lived
there. Mr.. James Fenimore Cooper,
the grandson, gives us In his delightful
book, Legends and Traditions of
Northern County" glimpse OF man.
ners in Cooperstown In the period fol-
lowing the War of 1912.
In those days, says Mr.. Cooper, doe
tors and lawyers were marked men
and went about their tasks delber-
ately in long black coats and with
black silk stocks wound round their
long necks, for they were all tall and
thin, except one lawyer, who violated
custom by being very tall and very
fat. They never hurried and never
forgot the dignity of their occupation.
In fact, no one hurried. In the eve
ming when the mail arrived everyone
sauntered to the post Office. Old and
young were there; the news was dis.
cussed, and plans were made for the
next day. Joy and sorrow usually
came by mail.
The only event that could arouse the
town was fire; then II went mad. The
firemen fought one another, rather
than the fire, and the townspeople ir
their misdirected zeal destroyed what
the fire spared. l have often admired
the foresight Of my great-grandmother
who when the hall once caught FIRE
ordered all the doors and windows
locked and bolted and told the serv
ants to put out the fire while she tool
care of the fire department. She die
so by pouring boiling water on thos'

him and comes back telling us that

He returns fairly exuding warnings

FEDERAL WATER POWER CON-
Troll

Commenting on the withdrawal by
the state of New York of the suit to
test the constitutionality of the Fed
eral Water Power Act the Washington
correspondent of the Public Ledger
declares this to be victory for Gov
ernor Pinchot of Pennsylvania over
the Governor of New York in his con-
troversy concerning the giant power
scheme which the former is working
out and which contemplates taking
electrical power from another state
under the Federal act.
This asserts the Governor of New
York has been convinced that it is
futile to oppose the Federal law. In
the absence of Interpretation of the
Federal law there appears to be yet
some doubt as to what may or may
not be done under it. The following
from this report indicates, however.
that such Interpretation is not ex
pected to intefere with state rights to
the extent which has been appre-
hended. The correspondent writes:
The position of the Federal Power
| Commission has changed and that po-
sition, dictated by the law which pro-
vides Federal control and supervision
of Interstate water development, CO.
| incides with the opinion expressed by
Governor Pinchot when he wrote
| Governor Smith urging him to drop
the suit.
Zone of the points on which the
New York delegation desired partic-
| ularly to be assured was whether the
| Federal Commission would grant q
! license to a company for developing
water power whose application had
been rejected by the State. Secre-
tary Merrill Informed the New York
ers who were not familiar with that
fundamental aspect of the power act
that the commission cannot grant any
license or permit to any concern thai
does not fully comply with the laws
of the State in which it is located.
