FRENCH TO READ BROWNING
At Least, Works Of the English Poet
Are to Be Translated Into
That Language.

Robert Browning In French" does
not sound an altogether promising
proposition. Indeed, of all the modern
poets Of England one would imagine
that he would be the most difficult to
interpret to foreigner. In spite Of
all drawbacks, however, an interesting
selection of Browning's poems has
been made by two translators, Paul
Alfassa and Gilbert De voislns, who
have grappled by no means unsuccess-
fully with the acknowledged difficult
ties Of the "enlgmatic" poet. Mary
Duclaux writes foreword which Is to
all intents and purposes careful
study carried out In a fashion which
must be undoubtedly agreeable to
French readers. Mime. Duciaux is not
afraid Of graphing with problems
either Of Interpretation or translation,
and the little book published by the
Librairie Graset Is an admirable ex.
ample Of that difficult art Of transla-
ton of which the late Mr.. Teixeria De
Mattos was an acknowledged master.

The Very End.

There was council held later that

Sandy was In the chair, Mormon and

'Then the meeting is closed" said
Molly. II accept your apologies and

Mormon and Sam rose. With a

INV ----
AIR CURRENTS RETAIN
RAINDROPS IN THE AIR.
The following explanation Of
what are popularity known as
"cloud-bursts" is based upon
"Elgie's Weather Book" by Jo-
seph Ii. Elgie. He says that
rain is water-vapor condensed IN
to drops Of such a size ana
weight as causes them to fall TO
the ground. The rise and con
sequent expansion and cooling OF
body of air results In many
cases in the formation OF cloud
of very minute water drops.
These fine particles collect on
tiny specks Of dust, which, with
their moist covering are kept In
a state Of suspension In the at
mosphere by the ascending air
currents. And here Is the crux
of the whole matter In relation
to "cloud-bursts," for, should the
air ascend still higher and thus
be further cooled, they may be
prevented from falling by the We
locity of the rising air current.
This velocity must be more than
eighteen miles an hour in order
to keep the largest ralndrops
suspended In the atmosphere.
Ii will be seen that we have very
large raindrops prevented from
falling to the ground because
supported In the atmosphere by
powerful currents of air. When
these upward rushing currents OF
air suddenly cease from blow
Ing, the great ralndrops fall with
mighty splash, and this deluge
suddenly beginning and just as
suddenly ending, constitutes
what is popularity known as
"cloud-burst." Some of these
deluges give one the impression
that a cloud has burst" In re-
atty. 1t is interesting to note
that most of the reported CLOUD
bursts" are In billy districts. 1t
Is In such localities that strong
uprushes of air prevail. the air
being detected upward by the
slope of the hills.

Why cycIist Can Balance Himself.

Here Is the explanation Of why II
is that the cyclst can balance himself
on his wheel while II Is moving, and
cannot do so when 1t Is stationary.
The natural law has 1t that any body
will stand II line dropped perpen-
dicularly from the "center Of gravity"
to the ground falls within the base Of
that body If 1t falls outside the base,
the body overturns.
The base" Of the cycle is obviously
only the half-lnch or SO tread OF its
tires, and what the learner Is taught
to do Is to turn this base the way he
Is falling. In other words, instead
of maintaining hopeless attempt to
balance his center Of gravity over q
half-lnch base, he continually enlarges
the base itself. With practice the proc
ess becomes automatic.
