THE J3KE: OMAHA. WEUNKSDAY. ALUUST 31, .U21. 12 jSLEEPJf -TIAAE TALES WHY- !' i THE'TA'CE OF. GRUNTY PIG " W ARTHUR SCOTT. CAILEY CHAPTER XXII. Jupcr Jsjr Objects. While Jasper Jay. in the leech tree, wailed or. Orunty Pig, on the ground, to speak- up and make hi excuses for taking beechnuts, a bur dropped from a twig and UndeJ right in front of Grunty's nose, lie fell upon it greedily. And tearing it open, he devoured the nuis with relish. lor a few moments his action struck Jasper Jay dumb. That blue coated rascal turned to frisky Squirrel who clung to a limb nearby. "Well, did you ever?" Jasper gasped. And then, having found his voice, Jasper began to use it on Urn my rig. Now, Jasper Jay was a wild fel low. He often used words that J J Grunty Pijf, however, never even hlinkad. made the gentler folk in Pleasant Valley shudder. And he called Grouty Pig a number of names that would have made many a person angry. Grunty Pig, however, never even blinked. And after a while Jasper Jay used up all his special words, which he generally employed at such times, He gave Frisky Squirrel a helpless look. . "Myl My! Isn't this chap thick skinned?" he exclaimed. "Certainly, I ami" cried Grunty Pig. "That's why I like to wallow in mud." " "Hal" Jasper Jay sniffed. "And he spoke again to Frisky Squirrel. "This chap is thick-headed, too. I see that I'm going to have trouble making him understand what I say." Frisky Squirrel merely grinned at his companion. : "Look here, young Porker 1" Jas per called to Grunty Pig. "Doesn't farmer Green feed you?" The name "Porker" made Grunty Piflf look up. ' Vl'm Mrs. Pig's son." , he said. "Don't call me 'Porker'." "Well Pisr. then!" Jasper Jay squalled. "DocsnV Farmer Green feed you?" ;' . "Yesl". .',-' "Well, then don't come here and take our nuts I Didn't your mother ever teach you that things that grow on trees such things as nuts be long to the people that live- in the trees?" ' .; ; "Does Johnnie Green live in this tree?" Grunty Pig inquired. "He spends half his time here or a quarter, anyhow," Jasper Jay grumbled. "And you may be sure he gets his share of these beechnuts. Goodness knows . he, leaves few enough for me and my friend here. "Now," Jasper wenf on, "I want you to promise not to cat any more of our nuts." "'..;' . . Grunty Pig shook his head. "I can't promise that, exactly," he said. "But I'll promise not to eat any that I t don't find on , the ground." ' . " '''."'' "Huh!". Jasper Jay scoffed. "That means that you won't cat any nuts that you can't reach. That's no promise at at!. It's nothing but a threat. It's the-same as saying that you're goinqpto eat every nut that drops off this tree." ; i. ' , Grunty . Pig . made, no reply. He would have Wandered on, but. for a fresh breeze lhat had begun to -whip the branches of the beech tree.6 He decided to wait there. More burs might fall. And Grunty wanted to be on hand to meet them when they dropped. , . . "Go homel" Jasper Jay, shrieked at hinj. "Go back to your pigpen where you belong. .We don't want you here." 'And he said many more things that were still ruder. But Grunty Pig never showed the least sign of anger. He didn't even Tet Jasper Jay know that he had heard. Wlnen the' wind died down he waddled ofif down the road. And Frisky Squirrel . followed him through the' iree tops. When they had traveled out of Japser Jay's sight and hearinng,. Frisky asked Grunty Pig a question. "I should like to know," he said, v "how you managed to keep still when Jasper was abusing you. I know that I should . have lost my temper. . Can " it be that you didn't hear what he stid?" "Oh. I heard him clearly enough," said Grunty. . "But there was nb ' sense in my getting angry with him. If he had been-standing on the ground, near me, he would never have dared talk to me as he did. Jasper Jay called me names because he was safe in the tree. If he hadn't had that tree to help him he'd never ha.ve dared say what he did. . "To" tell the truth, I am a bit out of patience - with that beech tree," Grunty confessed. "It played me a mean trick. And I hope there'll be a raging wind tonight that will rob it : of tvtrf- bur . it has-I'd uproot the beech,? he added, "if I didn't like beech-nuts so much." "WelL you are an odd one," said Frisky Squirrel- . ' "If everybody was as odd as I am there'd b fewer Jasper Jays in the world," Gfunty Tig declared. t Cerrlght. Metre pelltaa JCews- aapar Service.

The simplest explanation cl this natural effect is to say that the nu nifying glass increases the power of the sun's rays, jut st it magnifies tie apparent kie of objects examined through it. Dut, at will le easily noticed, neither of tlute ef fects it attained unless the glass is held in a certain position unless the rcys of light passing through it are properly "focuased." In the cae of the sun's rayr, if we hold the glass close to a thcet of paper or at a considerable distance lrom it, the light rays are increased only a comparatively small amount and little additional heat it appar ent. By moving the glass backward and forward, however, we can con ccntrate or focus the entire light upon one very small point which toon becomes very hot and event ually bursts into flame. Here the ef fect is precisely the same as if we were attempting to magnify the size of an object, for the convex sides of the lent bend the light rays in v artl at a certain angle and, with these rays, concentrate the heat rays upon a- limited area so that the amount of heat formerly spread over a large surface is now acting upon a small portion only. It is tiot the light of the sun that produces the fire, but the heat which accompanies this light and is. apparent to the tense of touch rather than to that of tight. Both sets of rays, however, are bent in the same direction and in equal proportion, so that the one appears to be the result of the other. (Copyright, Hit, Wheeler Syndicate.
