THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1912, _ IR | £ RING’S QUEER ANTICS EXPERIMENT THAT RAISED IN TERESTING QUESTION. Plebody, as Yet, Has Been Able to Ao count for tho Strange Convolu- tions of the Wedding Ring— Try for Yourself. This is a mystery of the wedding ring. Can you solve it? Nobody, as pet, bas been able to account for #ts strange convotutions, but maybe you will be more clever. ‘Why does # swing one way for a man, and quite another way for a woman ? Is it the difference in what wise men call “aura? And a wellknown Lon- Bon doctor has recently demonstrated that the aura of the male-and female Mffer widely. ‘Wedding rings often make the people who wear them, and even other per- sons, behave in the most unaccounta- Me manner, but few of us have ever And this is not a trick. Remember R is a sclentific experiment, illustrat- kg the laws of physics, physiology or psychology. This is the way to go about it: Take a sflver fork and place it be- fore you on a polished wooden table. The fork should be at right angles from your body, with the handle near- st you. Seat yourself at the table. Tie a about g ¥ B ; ; 2 i > The ring must be suspended about one-quarter of an inch above the fork, _and as nearly as possible at its cen- ker. Place your left hand flat and palm downward upon the table beside the fork. Do your best to keep your hand steady, and thus prevent the string, with the attached wedding ring, from gwinging. In spite of your efforts, you will find that the wedding ring moves. If a man is holding the string the wedding ring will commence slowly to Bway back and forth along the fork. If a woman holds the string, the ring Bways across the fork. With some people the movement is slight, while with others it is marked, but at all HMmes it is unmistakable. Now here’s the most curious part. If B woman is holding the string when Rhe movement across . the fork has pnce been firmly established, let a man place his right hand firmly upon ber left hand which rests upon the ta- ple. The ring will be seen slowly to wtop its cross movement and after & Jew moments the motion will be re- wersed. The ring will swing the length of the fork. A similar change of movement will poecur in the event of a man holding the string while a woman places her right hand over his left hand. Can you account for this mysterious behavior of the wedding ring?—Chi- eago Tribune. Rebuke for “Rubberers.” Down in Fowler, Kan., a few nights Rgo an evangelist who was conducting meetings became very much exasperat- ed by reason of folks coming in late mnd because the congregation turned mround to look whenever there was a mew advent. On this special night a man came in late and every one turned pnd stared. ¥ Then the evangelist told a story: “A Jew years ago I was out on the prairies riding my bronc, and as I passed a rairie dog’s den I saw the funniest looking thing with such big, stary eyes that I got down to investigate. I be- gan walking around that hole and as I walked that owl’s eyes kept fixed on me, but his body remained stationary. I just kept on walking, the eyes kept Bxed and the body remained station- ary, until, would you believe it, after 1 bad walked around three or four Hmes, that owl’s head dropped off. “Some of these nights,” the prophet moralized, “you folks will be looking nnder the seats for your beads.”—Kan- pas City Star. . i Extensive Use of Telegraph. It is about 60 years since the intro- fluction of the electric telegraph, as the system was known in this country up to its acquisition by the post office. The lines now in existence are suf- ficient to go round the world 138 ‘Mmes. Put in other words, they would reach the moon sixteen times. Fhe total number of offices is given at 130,000, with 160,000 apparatus, which pend out annually 300,000,000 dis- patches. The English, we read, make the greatest use of the Telegraph, it being estimated that for every hum- fred persons there are semt out 19¢ messages. France follows, with 152 messages; next comes Denmark, with 118; Belgium, with 104, and Germany with 91. The record telegram ' ex- fended over 20,000 words.
