French Horn Is a Tube
Twelve Feet in Length

The french horn comes to us via
the old hunting horn. Experiments
in its use began in the Eighteenth
century. The horn in F is a tube,
II feet long, coiled around itself.
The usual construction is one in
which the body of the horn termi-
mates in a conical ferrule 80 inches
from the rim to the bell. Into this
ferrule crooks or bent tubes fit. The
horn is a transposing instrument,
the various crooks giving sounds
lower than the notation.
Real improvement began with the
introduction of valves, whereby the
length was instantaneously altered,
notes a writer in the Chicago Daily
News. Three valves place a full
chromatic scale at the service of
composers. There are two methods
of stopping: one by inserting the
open hand, with fingers close to-
gether into the bell, and the other
by using a mute, usually of metal,
pear shaped and pierced for free
passage of air.
The first composer to use valve
horns was Halevy. Up to the time
of Mozart two players were consid-
cred sufficient. It is not uncommon
for composers to write compositions
calling for six or eight horns.

Branded for Heaven

The BheelS, people who live in
a country east of Gujarat in the
Bombay Presidency of India, have
a curious custom in connection with
their belief in the hereafter. All
males are branded from the wrist
to the elbow. The brands leave
from four to five scars, each the size
of five-shilling piece, on each fore
arm. The idea, says London Tit
Bits Magazine, is that on passing
over into the unknown the god Ram
will have no difficulty in recogniz-
ing them for Bheels, and will give
them a welcome into Heaven" or
swarg, as they call it. But easy
entry into swarg is provided for
the males only, and presumably the
females, lacking the branding, have
to find other means by which to pass
the recording angel.

Chief Justice Marshall
Made Constitution Live

Born in Germantown (now Mid
land), Fauquier county, Va, on
September "a, 1855, John Marshall
was the eldest son of Col. Thomas
Marshall, a distinguished officer in
the French war and the War of In
dependence, and of Mary Keith, a
member of the Randolph family.
Because school facilities were
meager in Fauquier county in those
days, relates Leslie Hartley in the
Washington Star, John was educat-
ed largely by is father. He had no
college training except a few lee
lures on law and natural philosophy
at William and Mary in 1779. He
abandoned the study Of law at Is to
enter the Revolutionary army. AS
a member of his fathers regiment,
he took part in the battle of Great
Bridge, in which he displayed great
courage.
In 1881, after leaving the army,
Marshall began the practice of law
in his native county. The next year
he was elected to the Virginia as
sembly, serving as legislator during
eight sessions. Later he moved to
Richmond and, from 1888 to 1871,
was that city's representative in the
assembly. He was also member
of the federal convention which met
in 1888 to discuss ratification of the
Constitution of the United States.
This issue was holly debated, and it
was largely through his convincing
arguments that ratification was car
ried.
He refused the attorney general
ship and the ministry to France,
but, in 1889, accepted appointment
as special envoy to France, serving
with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney
and Elbridge Gerry. After serving
in congress and as secretary OF
state, he was named chief justice,
a post he held until his death in
Philadelphia.
AS chief justice he rendered nu-
merous decisions of prime impor-
lance to the nation. At a period
when the powers of congress were
poorly defined, when the processes
of constitutional government were
still in the experimental stage, he is
credited with having made the
Constitution live"

BuOyed Up by Air

When you weigh yourself on a reg
ular platform scales with brass
weights on the arm of the scales,
both you and the weights are buoyed
up by the air; but since the body
occupies eight or nine times as
much space as do the weights, this
lifting effect is correspondingly
greater on the body than it is on the
weights. Archimedes is said to have
jumped out of his bathtub crying
Eureka" when he discovered that
a body immersed in fluid is buoyed
up by an amount equal to the weight
of the fluid which it displaces. The
buoyance effect of a given volume
of lighter warm air will be less
than that exerted by the same vol
ume of heavier cold air.

the event that runs through the years.
There is always team that comes
to town rated extremely high but
has the hard luck to turn in bad
game just when it wants most to
turn in good game. This year it
was Gilbert. The poor Gilbert boys
just couldn't get to clicking. Every
body knew they must be better team
than they seemed to be.
There is always team that looks
mighty good and plays smooth bas-
ketball, but finds its shots just falling
out instead of just falling in. This
year it was Austin, which had a
mighty smooth floor game and seemed
well coached, but wasn't hitting.
There is always team that takes
all the experts by surprise. 1t comes
to town no more highly regarded
than another underdog, but quickly
proves the scouts didn't have their
eyes open. This year it was Noun
tain Lake. These lads were counted
out of the first round by the experts,
but they played one of the finest
games of the day, and looked good
as long as they were in action.
There is always team that seems
to reach its peak just at tournament
time and plays with lot of poise
which makes the experts exclaim,
well, they're not brilliant but they
certainly are cool, confident and eff
fective." This year is was Mime
apolis' Marshall The Marshall boys
played a beautifully controlled game
and never had a moment of panic
even when things weren't going well.
There is always a hard luck team,
usually more than one. This year
Thief River Falls was one of them.
The Providers played clean basketball
but happened to encounter officiating
which was so technically close that
they were only penalized every time
they tried to defend against South
st. Paul's driving attack. They had
chance to win that game but, just
as they were moving into the lead
in the second half, they began to lose
their regulars on personal fouls.
The Providers were not quite so
good as their championship team of
the year before. They missed the
little Lee fellow; but they were a
fine team and, as usual, a plucky out
fit.
Of course, there is always a lot
of luck in such a tournament. In
fact luck starts to run long before
the tournament starts. Fine teams
happen to have bad nights in district
or regional tournaments, and don't
even get to town although they may
be as good as the survivors.
They say Keewatin, Mankato,
Mortified, Red Wing, st. Paul Cen
trail, Brainerd, Proctor and Chisholm
would all have been strong tourna-
ment teams if they had had any early
luck
Then luck runs heavily in the first
round of championship play where
one team may catch onto the strange
floor quickly and the other may be
lost for a while. You can't tell how
the luck will run here but it is OBJ
vious in many first round games that
fine team is losing because it is
temporarily out of tune with it's new
surroundings.
