CHAPTER III.
Muter Robin's First Lesson.
When young Master Robin heard
the strange voice that founded so
grumpy and so near him he was
terribly frightened. He forgot that
he thought himself grown up, and
very wise, and quite able' to go
about alone, He didn't even look
to see who was speaking, but fell
backwards off the limb of the apple
tre.
Jt was lucky for him, too, that
A
More Truth -Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE. '
"Haw. haw!" be laufihed aaaia,
he feel just. when he did. For a
long brownish person, white under
neath, took Master Robin's place on
the limb so promptly that you could
hardly have said he jumped into it
from somewhere else. He seemed
to have popped out of the tree
somewhat as a freshly popped ker
nel of corn bursts forth. A mo
ment ago it was not there 1 You
were watching, but did not see jt
grow big.
Well, all at once there was silence
in the orchard. Everybody was
holding his breath, waiting to sec
what happened to young Master
Robin. Though he had lost his bal
ance and tumbled backward he
righted himself quite like an old
timer and flew off across the or
chard. .
"I didn't know snakes could
climb trees," he stammered to Mr.
Chippy, who had followed him.
"Snikes!" Mr. Chippy piped.
"That wasn't a snake! That was
Grumpy Weasel. . . .And it's a won
der you ever escaped," he added. "I
must learn that backward somer
sault. It's a good thing to know."
You can see that Mr. Chippy was
a very humble person. But Mr.
Jolly Robin's eldest son was quite
proud. Already he began to feel that
he had been very, skillful in escap
ing. But Of .course it was only an
accident that; he got away.
For once in his life Grumpy Wea
sel had been careless. It had look
ed so easy catching that clumsy
young robin t He had spoken to
Master Robin, not dreaming that he
could save himself. To make mat
ters worse, Grumpy had found Mr.
Chippy's nest empty. And Grumpy
Weasel was the sort of person -that
liked to find, a bird at home when
he called. It always made him more
illnatured than usual to make a call
for nothing. And now he had let
a stupid young robin escape him.
-So it is not surprising that his big
black eyes snapped nor that he said
something in a fierce voice that
sounded Tike "Chip, chip,, chip," but
meant something a good deal worse.
And to add to Grumpy Weasel's
rage, somebody had laughed hoarse
ly somebody that sat in a tall elm
across the road.'
If he could have caught Mr. Crow
there is no doubt that Grumpy would
have made that blaok scamp sorry
that he .laughed. But old Mr. Crow
.was too wary to let anybody surprise
him. "HaWyhawr he laughed again.
And Grump1 Weasel actually could
not bear to hear him. Some of the
onlookers 'r claimed afterward that
they saw Grumpy Weasel start down
the tree. And thatjwas as much as'
they could say. No jbne knew how
he managed to slip' out. of sight.
And the field people say that he
was never seen again in that exact
spot.

WHY
Is Foam White?
When we stop to think that water,
of itself, is a colorless liquid, save
when seen.in quantities large enough
to reflect the light thrown upon it,
and that the foam of the sea or the
lakes is' nothing but water whipped
. up by the action of the wind or some
other aeencv. the whiteness of the
foam may seem to be an analogy of
nature. But we should remember
that snow, which is frozen water, is
likewise dazzlingly white, and that
there is a close relationship between
vovy and foam. The former is made
tiom crystals of water, superimposed
upon each other, while, the latter is
formed from bubbles, if of a suffi
cient density to make an appreciable
mass.
The tiny bubbles which go to make
up foam, act upon the light and upon
the eye precisely as the crystals do.
Eetween them they throw so much
light back from their surfaces, that
they make the foam look white, par
ticularly' against the darker back
ground of the water seen as a whole.
This effect,' however, is apparent only
when the foam is viewed in a white
light ;4 it were seen through red
glasses fr illumined by the rays of a
red lamp, it. would appear to be red,
just asjuowwould.
Thewhite- foam which appears
when y Colored liquids '.whipped
into bubbles, is the effect of the
light reflected from each, of the liuy
air-filled structures, the shell oi each
, bubblebeing so thin that it retains
; hardly any trace of - the . original
; coloring matter, but appears to be
a mass of solid whiteness - A

Lightning Toothpicks.
' In many parts of the country it is
believed that a toothpick made of a
piece of a tree which has been
struck by lightning is a cure for
toothache and a preserver of the
teeth generally. The fact of magic
virtues attributed to the lightning
struck toothpick today, is but a sur
vival of the old belief that lightning
sanctified what it touched. The
electrical discharges from the clouds
were accounted by our ancestors as a
direct emanation from the ruler and
chief of the gods. Zeus was the
thunderer of the Greeks and under
the name of Jupiter or Jove he was
the same to the Latins.
.When we consider that before
Benjamin Franklin's time we knew
practically as little concerning the
real nature of lightning as did- Ajax
when he defied it on the Trojan field
it is not surprising that the men of
old saw in this tremendous display
of force a godlike emanation, or that j
a belief should exist today in the
magical qualities imparted to wood
which has been visited by the thun
derbolt. It is, however, a curious example
of how knowledge and superstition
may exist side by side that an ex-J
pert electrician who gauges, controls
and measures lightning as a part of
his business will, nevertheless, pick
his teeth with a sliver of lightning-
shivered wood in, order .to stop his
toothache.
