The English physicist, James Clerk Maxwell, was the first to suggest that light can exert pressure, and he work-| ed out mathematically what- the force years later than an attempt was made to' measure .it experimentally. The man -who- made the experiment was Professor Lebedeff, a Russian scient- 1st. 4 : i From a delicate fibre of quartz he hung a small vertical rod, #cross the lower end of which were secured two shorter rods, carfying at their outer ends discs of very thin metal. Two of the discs were blackened and two were polished. The whole arrange- meént was in reality an extremely sen- sitive balatice, and the twisting was meagured by means of a tiny mirror attached to the apparatus and turning with it. oft was enclosed In' a globe of glass from which air had .been ex- cluded. A beam of light was concentrated on to the pair of blackened discs. The 'pressure of light caused the quartz i fibre to twist slightly, and the angle of | deflection was' measured by reflecting a spot of light from the attached mir- ror on to a fixed seale., The beam was | then played on the: polished. discs. and as | the angle measured again, in this case being about twice the previous smount.

Very few persons acquire facility in any drill subject after twenty years of age.

The average boy of average intelligence, with good teach- ing, can learn to play almost any in- strument- and produce therefrom sounds that are quite above the aver- 'age. The unusual instruments of the orchestra, such as the oboe, bassoon, French horn, string bess flute and clarinet, fall- easy prey to, the nimble fingers and alert minds of bright-eyed, vigorous boys, and they derive no small pleasure from being able to play.
