A QUEEK EXPERIMENT.
Flioti;r.i)hliiK tint Hpluili of it Drop (
Atnrcury.
1'rof. Worthlngton has been studying
a curious phenomenon for twenty
jcars says Knowledge. The splash of
a drop occurs In the twinkling of an
eye yet It 1b an exquisitely regulated
phenomenon and one that very happily
Illustrates some of the fundamental
properties of the fluid. The problem
that Prof. Worthlngton has succeeded
In solving 1b to let u drop of deflnlto
fcizo fall from a Hjcnd h.'lght in cui..t,ar
atlvo darkness onto a surface and to II
lumlnntc It by a Hash of exceedingly
short duration at any desired stage, so
as to exclude till the stages previous
and subsequent to those thus selected.
The many illustrations in this volume
testify to the accuracy and beauty of
his work. The curious results of a
splash of a drop of mercury from a
height of three inches upon a smooth
glass plate are particularly interesting.
Very soon after the first moment of im
pact minute rays are shot out in all di
rections on the surface with marvelous
regularity. From the ends of the rays
droplets of 1 -uld split off. The liquid
subsides in t te mlddlo artl soon after
ward flows into a ring. The ring then
divides in such a manner us to join
up the rays in pairs. Thereafter the
whole contracts till the liquid rises in
the center, so as to form the beginning
of the rebound of the drop from tho
plate. Immediately the drops at tho
central mass rises in a column, which
Just falls, itself to break Into drops.
He photographed no fewer than thirty
6iiccesslvo stages of tho splash within
tho twentieth of a second, so that tho
average interval between them was
about tho six-hundredth of a second.
Remarkable are the splashes of water
drops falling about sixteen inches into
milk, but more beautiful are the domn
forms when tho height Is fifty-two
inches.
Tho Colored Tuskegeo Woman's club
spent an evening with "Mr. Rudyard
Kipling." As tho roll was culled, each
motubor responded with an appropriate
quotation. Tho muBic, which was sung,
was alBO tho wordB of Kipling. A sketch
of tho lifo of Kipling was well rendered
by Mrs. B. J. Scott. Tho other mem
bprs recited ditTerent poems from tho
groat author.

From the Boomtown Boomerang:
The musical and literary evening given
by the Sagevlllo orchestra, with lady
soloists, in the hall over Bud Hickey's
saloon last eve, may well be called a
howl'"': success, each number being
greeted with loud howls for more from
the audience. It Is many a day since
we have heard so much music ripped
out of a fiddle as Prof. Orlando P. C.
Pugeley ripped out of his fiddle last
night, and his accomplished and good
looking lady wife pounded some of tho
sweetest melody out of the piano that
we ever heard pounded out of any
piano. She Just made it get up and
hump, and in the duet for two pcrsonn
that they played together It was nip
and tuck when it came to jerking the
sweetest music out o' the two instru
ments. Such dash, smash, crash, bang
music ain't heard every day in these
parts. Then there wasn't anything slow
about tho accordion and flute duet by
the professor's two daughters. Every
foot in the house was keeping time be
fore the young ladies bad played three
minutes and some of tho limber-legged
young folks even got up and waltzed
jp and down the aisles. But when the
whole orchestra of nine pieces got in
its work the audience went wild, and
If anyone thinks Boomtown ain't cul
tivated up to appreciating good music
.hey'd jjst ought to have been in Hick
;y's hall last night when that orchestra
Jerked out "Sally and tho Ham-Fat
Mm." Malk about your Boston Sym
phony ' theotraa and Boston being tho
musical center of tho country; Ts all
ooppycock! There's as much musica
.asto to the square inch here in Boom
.own as in any town In America, and
A'o'll engage to lick the man who says
It ain't so. And when it comes to
rocal singing, Miss Sadie May Yawp,
jvho sang "The Gypsy's Warning" last
aight, knocked the socks clean off a
ivoman named Nordica wo heard sins
jack cast last winter. It ain't often a
bang-up concert company strikes
rloomtown, but it gets appreciated
jvhen it does come.
