WHY= On the Funny Side Ships That Sink in OceanvGo All Way to Bottom * Despite the notion that a slujV which' goes down at son does not sink all tffi& way to the bottom, but remains suspended in the water because of the Increased pressure and density at great depths, It does sink all the way to tli^ bottom. I'resfsure Mn itself does not enter Into the problem, because the pres sure of a fluid is exerted equally from all directions. Increased density, which is due chiefly to the greater pressure. Is not an important factor in relation to this question, because water, IHte other fluids, fs nearly Incompressible. and the water at 'the bottom of the ocean In the deepest {.laces weighs only about 5 per ceni more than an equal volume of water at the surface. , ' Here is the law of floating atad sinking bodies-; If .a body weighs more than Its equal volume of water at any depth, It wll! sink- and continue to sink until tt reaches, the bottom: If ft weighs less. It will float on the surface; and If It weighs the same. It will stay wherever placed. In other • words, an object sinks1 In water if Its average density, including entrapped air, is greater than the density of the wafer in which It Is Immersed! The weight of fresh water is about. G2.4 pounds a cubic foot. Therefore since, according to the, principle of Archimedes, the lifting effept op n submerged 1 body Is -equal to the weight df the displaced liquid, any object weighing more than <£!,< pounds a cubic foot will syHT infreab water.--Cleveland Plain Itoaler.'

"You belong to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, don't you?" he Inquired of the lady who opened the door. "Yes, I am one of the officers.

Why of the First Joke j Found in Humor History It is Impossible to say with any degree of certainty who started the first practical Joke. Doctor I/Kstranee In his history of English Humour says in his chapter on ancient htftnour tha: the pleasure -found In hostile laughter soon^.LtMl practical Jokes. They were 'fnoienttoc very common and formed the first rfnk between humour and the ludicrous. The first character in tlie records of antiquity that seems to have had ghything quaint, or droll about It Is that of Samson. He was fond of mak . inp very sanguinary "sport for the Philistines." It is said that "tie caught 300 fojcefc and took firebrands, and turned tall to tall, and piit n fire-brand tn the midst, between two tails, and when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go Into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and also the standing corn of the Philistines, with the vineyards and olives." On another occasion he allowed himself to be bound with cords, and thus apparently delivered powerless Into the hands of his en emles. He then broke his bonds "like flax that was hurnt with fire." and taking the Jaw bon£ o,f an ass slew 1,000 men with it. Sale of i6e coupon t>ooks to ice companies by the printers is a sale at retail within the meaning of the Illinois Retailers' Occupational Tax act, according to a statement made by J. M. Braude, assistant director, of the department of finance, last week. He also stated that the sale of an automobile by'a dealer to a salesman is a sale at retail. ' Representative Roaman E. Grigsby of Blandinsville was made defendant last week in a suit for $1,500 in gasoline taxes. The suit wap filed by the state director of finance.

Why Silk Worm Keep* Secret* The silk worm has been studied for centuries and man has succeeded in imitating its product, but at tlie same time there are many things about the silk worm's habits and product which man does not understand. One of the unanswered questions Is, why Is the fiber spun with a triangular section? There might be an explanation here In terms of luster, but presumably the silkworm does-not caret unduly for appearances. Possibly It Is because there Is a higher ratio of drying surface to area for n triangular section than one that Is circular, but If so. why doesn't she go the whole distance and make a fluted affair, or ribbon? Why does she make two fibers and cement them together?

Blinois will'be adequately prepared legally to control liquor sales the moment the eighteenth amendment is repealed, State Senator Harold G. Ward, Chicago, has declared. Senator Ward is a member of the state commission for the study of liquor control. , He is certain that the commission will suggest legislation to prevent the return of the saloon. A special session of the Illinois general assembly will be held in October to consider hard liquor legislation and unemployment relief. The governor hopes to make the session short by keepirg the subjects in the call to a minimum. It is possible that the state commission, which will make a study of and recommend labor legislation, will, complete its work early in October and the call for the special session will follow.. The state administration has recommended more than 300 Illinois public works projects totaling $117,843,909 for federal financing and construction under the National Industrial Recovery Act. The extensive list of projects was submitted to the federal public works advisory board for Illinois, which will transmit to Washington the proposale it indorses- Approximately 160'downstate cities and districts, as well as Chicago and Cook county are represented in the list -of; projects. Waterworks and sewage plants predominate the list. The federal government will finance outright as much as 30 per cent of the projects it approves. The federal board for Illinois was asked to give immediate consideration to the recommendations so that final approval may be obtained and construction started as soon as possible. It is estimated that th© work will provide 1,200,Ouu man-days of direct employment, and an equal amount of. indirect employment. Attempting to collect funds which are due the state, Joseph J. Rice, director of finance of Illinois, has filed a suit in circuit court for damages in which C. E. Johnson of Gillespie is the defandant. The bill asks for $1,000 damages. The balance due the state plus penalties amounts to $403.- 19, the bill states.
