Light, Sound and Bullet

B. Light travels very much faster
than either sound or a bullet. The
relation between the speed of light
and sound is illustrated by the
length of time which elapses be-
tween the flash Of lightning and the
thunder that follows. The speed Of
light is 186,324 miles per second
through the air. while the speed of
sound, through the air at ordinary
temperatures, is about /, 12O feet per
second. The speed Of a bullet is
measured at the point of leaving
the muzzle and is called muzzle
velocity. AS soon as it meets the
resistance Of the air and THE. pttll
of gravity its speed begins to slack
en-. The muzzle velocity Of the regu-
lar army rife is 200 feet per Sec
ond, and a sports rifle has a muzzle
velocity of $500 feet per second.

Stradivari Improved on
His VioIins Every Year

The first violins made by Antonio
Stradivari were Of poor-quality ma
terial, vanished in a thick yellow
varnish, and of a solid build and
proportions following those Of
AWAITS smaller pattern. This small
pattern Stradivari adhered to, with
one exception, until 1884, when he
turned his attention definitely to
larger instruments. While he proved
himself an uncommonly skilled
craftsman in these early violins,
says a writer in the Washington
Star, it was not until the years be-
tween 1884 and 100 that he showed
progress in those experiments which
were to eliminate in perfect form
and balance in his instruments.
In 1888 there appeared the first
marked alteration in the detail Of
his work, when he outlined the
curves of the scroll and the back
rib of the scroll in black. Every
year he gained in the beauty, ac-
curacy and finish Of his work, In
the cutting of the "f" holes, the
carving of his scrolls, and the ex-
quisite precision Of the purling. In
1890, to crown his perfect crafts
manship, he built the '1ong Strad"
to new set Of proportions, suggest
ed by a Maggini violin which he had
seen. Searching for increased tone
value, he gradually increased the
breadth Of his instruments year by
year.
There was a change, too, in the
varnish used by Stradivari after
1884. It became deeper in color,
and on the Tong Strads" it is rich
amber and light red.
Stradivari adopted this long
pattern almost entirely until 1893,
when he returned to proportions
used previous TO 1890.

Early Mahogany Period
Left No Great Designers

) During that era in furniture his
tory which is called the early ma
hogany period and which lasted
from 172O to 1740, no great names
have survived as master cabinet
makers, states a writer in the New
York Herald Tribune.
Wall furniture was mostly in
spired by the classical designs of
such architects as Kent, Wren and
chambers. The masterpiece of this
era was Houghton hall, home of
Robert Walpole, premier of Eng
land, in which Kent used whole car
goes of mahogany for woodwork and
furniture. The earlier mahogany
pieces of this period were in fact
still typical Queen Anne, exhibit
ing the simple Queen Anne lines of
Gabrielle leg and club foot with little
effort to decorate with carving.
The first effect of the use of ma
hogany was a tendency to tighten
the structural elements of furniture.
Specially tempered tools were man.
ufactured to work mahogany, and
its strength rendered its use in
smaller sections practical, thus, legs
, of tables and chairs curved to del
icate Gabrielle could stand without
the bracing of stretchers.
This period saw the development
Of carved decoration, the shell and
acanthus, CO. scrolls and bird and
animal claw and ball feet. Social
usage, particularly tea-drinking,
called forth all kinds of tables and
put premium on tables, such as
tilt-top, that could be put aside un-
til required, and side chairs that
could be drawn up closely. II

Kilkenny Cats

Inhabitants of the Irish city of Kill
kenny are sometimes jokingly re-
ferred to as Kilkenny Cats" Here
is one story of the origin of the nick
name, according to London Answers
Magazine. During the Irish rebel
lion Of 1893, Kilkenny was garri-
soned by a troop of Hessian soldiers
who amused themselves by tying
two cats together by their tails and
throwing them across a clothesline
to fight. The authorities decided to
stop this sport" but when the Of
acer on duty approached, a trooper
cut of the tails with his sword and
the cats bolted. When the officer
asked for an explanation of the tails,
he was told the cats had fought till
nothing was left but their tails. This
may be a fable, but it is fact that
the municipalities of the district
quarreled so bitterly about their
boundaries that they impoverished
themselves, leaving only two tails"
behind.

Transferring Fri~ts on
China 1850 Ceramic Art

When the process of transfer
printing on china was introduced by
Sadler and Green of Liverpool in
1850, it opened a new phase Of
ceramic art, according to writer
in the Los Angeles Times. The
process consisted of printing on pa
per from an engraved copperplate
and transferring the ink to the body
Of the article and glazing over the
print. This new method superseded
the old crude one of individual
painting and enabled potters to dec
crate their wares with artistic de-
signs at little cost, for the same
design could be used over and over.
This naturally increased the demand
for pottery wares and the new form
Of decoration was adopted by many
of the potters of Liverpool, the Stat
fordshire district, Leeds, Bristol
and other potting centers. Many
OF these potters employed we'll
known artists and engravers of that
time. The result was a new pic
torial art which depicted English
scenery, historical events, notable
public buildings, distinguished peo-
pie and many other objects.
Scenery painting, or rather en-
craving and printing, was a par
ticularly happy phase of this art.
The Englishman took great pride in
his country and his home, and many
of the models or designs were drawn
from scenes around him. A not
able table service made for the
royal family at St.. Petersburg in
l774 consisted of several hundred
pieces, each one beautifully decorat-
ed with famous English country
seat. There were more than / 200
different views and the value at the
time it was produced was over 5000
pounds.
