Song in the Bathroom.

Professor W. H. Bragg of the Royal Institution, London, England, has enunciated a new theory as to the bathroom. “Why do so many people sing In the bathroom?” asked the professor, and a juvenile audience broke out Into laughter, remembering the Impulse .that seizes them to break out Into song when they are having a bath. The professor explained that the note is struck for them by the running water. He also pointed out that, while the voice sounds resonantly In the bathroom, it Is not half so fine or inspiring when a song Is continued in the dressing room. The same authority explained that the bubbles of steam formed at the bottom of a boiling kettle, nearest to the flame, tried to get to the top, and coming into contact with water of a lower temperature fell back again with sounds like Hny hammer strokes on a hard substance.
