Its history, if recorded, would be as old as the history of man; its record ed history begins with the building of the tower of Babel. The oldest pot tery known Is Egyptian, but every peo ple, civilized or barbarian, has prac ticed the art in one or another form. All study In every department of art begins at a period not long after the Mosaic deluge, but pottery Is the earliest of nil forms of art. Conserve Enthusiasm. Are you a boy or girl who become« very enthusiastic about some nice thing you want to do? Be careful not to be so enthusiastic in starting a new undertaking that you have no energy left for carrying It through to com pletion. Enthusiasm Is an important factor In success, but It must be a steady flow, and not burst forth like some of the geysers which send a spout of wnter skyward, and then are quiet for 24 hours.—Exchange.

The effects of air resistance are well known in the twelve and one half mue Simplon tunnel, where an exceptionally high amount of energy is required for running the electric j trains. The tunnel, which is fifteen i feet wide and eighteen feet high, with a sectional area of two hundred ] and fifty square feet, has a ventilât- j Ing current of 3.530 cubic feet of air per second, maintained by two large | blast fans at the Brig end and two, exhaust fans at Iselle. Trains going with this current encounter less re sistance than in open air up to fifteen ' and a half miles an hour, but at|a higher speeds or in the opposite direc- j tton the resistance is much greater ; than outside. Coasting by gravity; down the seven per one thousand ; maximum gradient, a train, even go- j ing with the current, cannot exceed j thirty-five miles per hour on account j of the braking by the air.
