Guessing Game.

A GOOD guessing game for a party or IN

Where One of the players the auestioner.
leaves the room, and the other players then
decide on one word. 1t should be a noun and
the more different meanings it has the better.
Such words as cord" pain" and "hand' are
good examples.
When the word is chosen the uuestioner
comes into the room and begins by asking each
OF the others, HOW do you like it?" Suppose
the word hand" has been chosen One might
answer Full of money" another with lots of
aces" "a hand Of playing cards., and stin an
other, Strong and willing" Ca hired hand)
When he gets all the how answers the meaD
toner then asks each player WHEN he likes 1t.
and each player answers as before in any
appropriate way. Thus. answers might be IAN
the time" During harvest season." when L
have to reach" when my head itches," when
l cut my finger nails" and so on Finally the
WHERE question is asked, and the replies
might be, In my hand" (the card hand again),
In my pocket" TN the cookie jar" and so on
Usually the word is discovered long before
all the questions are asked. The player whose
answer leads to the discovery of the word be-
comes the next questioner
Try this game at your next party-you are
sure to enjoy it.

argument as to their usefulness in the city
was also strong. When he finally summed
up his points and left the platform, the seniors
broke into frenzied applause. They realized
that their first speaker had done well.
IAN right, Harry-your turn!" cried Bing
encouragingly. Get up there and give 'em
everything you've got. Show them that they
can't horse around with US juniorsl"
Harry got to his feet look Of desperate
resolve on his face. And at that moment
strange thing happened. Willie, on his way
back from the platform, paused for a moment
in front of Harry. Then he raised his fist
to his lips, and blew through in a gesture of
complete disdain
Harry uttered an angry cry, but checked
himself and mounted the platform. He adj
dressed the chairman and the others, announced
that he was the first speaker for the negative,
and then said Importantly, 81 am going to
prove to you that horses are not more i'm
portant than dogs, for three reasons. First,
dogs are more faithful to their masters than
any other animal, and useful because they
can always be depended upon"
At this point, Harry suddenly paused, look
ing very uncomfortable. His mouth opened, his
nose twitched, he reached frantically for
handkerchief and then a tremendous SneeZe
broke from him. This seemed to make him
feel better and he wiped his eyes and began
to speak. although his voice was rather thick.
I'VE all know thai dogs are faithful adibalS.'
he said. "Whed a mad once trades q dog,
the dog gets so he loves the mad, and will
even die for hib. For example-ah-ah-ah-
chew!"
Another sneeze! Harry wiped his eyes,
sniffsed, blew his nose. He started to speak
again, paused, threw back his head and then
sneezed so hard that he almost dislocated his
neck.
"Pepper!" he cried 'Subbudy blew pepper
in my facet"
Bing jumped to his feet. willie Nilly did
it," he cried. IT saw him That's a foul
Mr.. Chairman! Willie Nilly blew pepper in
Harry;s face he'd sneeze and couldn't make

In moment the room was in an uproar
Meanwhile poor Harry had sunk into a seat
on the platform and given himself up to Just
one hearty sneeze after another.

Failing Bodies.

If you drop feather and stone out of the
window at the same time which falls to the
ground first the feather or the stone? That
sounds like Silly question, of course, because
you know that the stone will fall faster and
that it win reach the ground long before the
feather does; In fact, the feather may fly away
on the winds. But, strange as il may seem,
under certain conditions, the feather win fall
as quickly as does the stone and both will
reach the ground at the same time. Things
fall to the ground because the force of gravity
of which we know very little as yet-puls
them down; and since the force Of gravity
acts with equal strength on all objects at the
same point on earth, one would expect that
all falling objects would reach the ground at
the same speed Yet We know that they do
not.
Here Is little experiment that NAV teach
us something about this matter: A long glass
bottle contains a feather and a small stone
the stone being, of course, heavier than the
featner. The bottle is then suddenly tipped
over so that both feather and stone are at
the top of the container. They will fall inn
mediately, of course, and the stone will hit
the bottom long before the feather does Now
suppose we pump all the air cut of this bot
tie and repeat the experiment We shall see
tnen tnat both the feather and the stone drop
with the same speed and both will reach the
bottom at the same time. 1t seems there
lore, that the presence of the air had some
thing to do with this business; and that is COR
rect Ior II there were no air earth, all bodies,
no matter what their weight might be- would
fall with equal speed ten-ton piece of steel
or rock would fan no faster than a cotton
string or thistle seed
Inc air slows up such things as a piece Of
paper, feather or small rag in falling. be-
cause OF the friction that exists between the
two. Remove this friction-that Is remove
the air-and gravity, which pulls with equal
force on all falling things, viii move them
downward with equal speed

Handling Export Goods.

COME idea of the tremendous cost of handling
export shipments at New York Harbor Is
contained In the total figure for hghterage work,
which runs around $50OO0O0O a year. The
necessity Of loading from railroad piers to light
ers and then to the steamers is the principal
factor in making harbor costs in New York as
high as they are. Only one railroad the New
York Central has direct line into New York
City, and as a result freight coming into the
city for export must be unloaded in Jersey and
then feEried ACROSS ito the liners pier. 1t is
estimated dthat this system handles 9.0OO.O 900
tins annually.
