second il impelled by strong motive. The
position in which Guitteau stood made it
necessary for him to shoot at nearly an angle
OF forty degrees, while the position of the
body of the President was also about the same
angle with the seats when the ball struck his
right side. With this understanding of the
position Of the two, it is evident the ball met
with great resistance, and was defiscted. Its
natural course would have been through the
body, passing out over the pelvis; so it Is
reasonable theory that, upon entering the IN
terror of the body, its force had been ex-
hausted, and internal injury is less than first
supposed All Of which gladdens up with
increased hope the conviction that his re-
| covery is now only question OF time.
Mechanical Cooling Devices.
WASHINGTON, July 9sh.-The basement of
the Executive Mansion is gradually assuming
the appearance of an extensive machine shop
or model room. Every hour adds to the
number of engines, ventilatiDg fans, steam
blowers and electric motors and refrigerating
mechanical devices which inventors from all
parts of the country are offering the attend
| ing surgeons, with assurances that they will
lower the temperature of the Presidents room
| from 10 to 80 degrees. From the basement,
near the main entrance, is heard the hum
and hiss of the engine and boiler taken from
d aH Si1S 4fof cit oaH ci""toAAs
here to run blower fan. which is forcing
artifcially cooled air, or to speak more cor
rectly, air which is supposed to be artifcial,ly
| cooled, into the Presidents chamber. At the
eastern end of the mansion lies large iron
boiler, which is shortly to be brought in and
set up to furnish moIe power, and near it
stands one OF the city tire.epgines, which
was used las night in an unsuccessful attempt
! to refrieerate air by alternate compression
and expansion. In the Cabinet otiicers' room
stands mechanical device resembling wood
en- towers on wheels used in ancient warfare.
| In the lower hall, apparatus which looks lit
| tie like an old fashioned signpost at country
crossroads is rotating slowly on an axis
formed by its upright shaft sweeping its one
arm in wide circle like half-dismasted
windmill In the private Secretary's room
aud upper corridors are air-cooling machines
of all sorts.

RESTLESS BUT Polite AMERICA The
rule in America is restessness. The op-
posite obtains in England. The old coun.
try is, therefore, peculiarly attractive to
many persons who have lived their lives
in America and want rest. The intensity
of life in the cities is especially apparent
in Chicago. All the town seems to be
perpetually ION the rush" There is a
drawbrd9e that crosses one of the chief
thoroughlares. The traffic is detained
while it opens and shuts. Scores of men
leap from the cars and try to get over
while it i, moving. Not tlat they really
facilitate their progress, for they have
eventually to wait for the cars to cross ;but
they must " get on" 1t is as if some de
mon of motion was behind everybody in
Chicago there is such general onward
stampede in the Prairie City. But let it
he said in their honor that the men are
never in too great II hurry to neglect any
opportunity Of being polite to women.
And this must be SAID generally for the
men of the United States. Their natural
gallentry to the sex, their consideration
for women of every class and station, puts
to shame the most polished nations OF Flu
rope. A woman may travel alone from
one end of the states to another, and every
man seems pledged to her safety and COM
fort. The fact that she is alone gives her
immunity from insult. In London a pretty
girl or well dressed woman cannot walk
along any leading thoroughfare without
being insulted by word or look half IA doz-
en- times. The rudeness of men toward
women in omnibuses and on railways, and
their impertinence to them in the streets,
are II burning disgrace to a nation which
boasts of it's manhood, and glories in its
advanced civilization. The women OF
America do not quite appreciate the defer
ence and respect which they receive at
the hands of their counIrymen. They are
too apt to accept special cou"tesies as u
right. No wonder many of them dislike
England, where men often give them an
equality of position with themselves, let
ting them fight their own way in crowd
ed railway depot or omnibus station with
out the slightest acknowledgement of the
privilege of the stronger sex, which is to
be kind and gentle in the treatment of the
weaker-JOSeph HattOn's To-day i"

| IMMENSE DIsTA 'CEs OF THE STARS
astronomers have ascertained the distancr
from the earth of many of the stars. II
we measure these spaces by miles, they
mount to millions of millions still multi
plled by millions, and hence convey no
adequate idea to the mind, therefor,
some other mode of measurement must he
used, and the velocity Of liyht is considered
the most convenient. 1t has been proved
thlt light travels at the rate of 1872 600
miles a second, /. e., between the ticks of
a watch Il ray of light would move eiUbr
lines around our globe. 1t comes from
he sun To us, a distance of 9O.UOO. 600 of
miles, IN eight minutes; thus the space
covered over bya ray of light in that time
could not be Travelled by our express
'ralhs IN les than two hundred and fifty
years WIN this immense velocity il
requires three and one-half years for the
HSHt OF the nearest star to reach our
earlh. 1t requires forty-sx years for
llght to reach us from the north star, and
TO night, ms we look ut that northern
Iumlnary, these very rays of light y hich
make II visible to us started out on their
Journey forty-slX years ago. The light
rom stars OF the twelfth magnitude re-
quies 3,oOO years to reach the earth. And
II that beautiful constellation, the PIeiades,
were this moment blotted out of existence.
II would continue to be visible for 700
years to come, for such is the time required
Tor light TO travel from tt a. group to Us.
II star of the twelfth magnitude were
now destroyed, it would continue to be
visible for $500 years; or. if such Il star
were now created $500 years would
elapse before it would be perceptible TO
the inhabitants of the earth. And some
Oi the more distant stars are SO far away
that light moving with II velocity OF 1922 |
900 miles per second requires $4,000 |
years to reach our eyes. These great dis
Jances are not imaginary, but astronomers
have ascertained the distance, motions and |
sizes, and even the weights OF the celestial |
oIbs with as much certainty as they have

PLEASANT Coon NORM

A PLEASANT "GooD MORNING. -
Don't forget to say good morning" q"
Say it to your parents, your brothers,
your sisters, your schoolmates, your teach-
ers-and say it cheerfully and with u
smile; it will do you good and do your
friends good. There's kind of inspra-
ton in every good morning" heartily
spoken, that helps TO make hope iresher
and work lighter. 1t seems really to
make the morning good and to be a
prophecy OF II good day to come after it.
And if this be true OF the "good morn

greetings. They cheer the discouraged,
rest the tired one, and make the wheels OF
life run more smoothly. Be liberal with
them, then, and let no morning pass,
however dark and gloomy it may be, that
you do not help ut least to brighten by
your smiles and cheerful words.

The potato was discussed recently at the
Central New York farmers club. The
facts developed in the experience of farm
er's present were that, though soil and
season unquestionablv have much to do
with the flavor of potatoes, the late pota-
toes retain their flavor over winter and
into spring better than early sorts. Prof
Roberts found that under the same condi-
tons, small potatoes for seed gave the
poorest result, the middle part of large
potatoes next, the seed end next and the
stem end the best. A whole large potatoe
with single eye is the best possible seed.
More work is needed but better crop Sc
cured by cultivating in rows or drills,
rather than in hills.

Framing OF Pictures,

The primary object in framing a picturp
Is 10 separate 1t from the surrounding sur
lace and objects, 50 that our attention NAV
not he distracted from the effect aimed at
ny the artist. The least that can be ex.
| perted ol frame is not to interfere with
thlS elect, and the most that frame can
achieve is to enhance it. The question of
framing is so bound up with hanging that
1t Is almost impossible to discuss them
separately The direction and quality of
night is vital tD many pictures, as color is
\ property of light. A picture of the
SPHINX. for instance, painted in the blaze
ot Egyptian sunlight, must he very differ
ent in effect when hung in "A London
gallery and seen through its murky atmos-
phere. This difficulty was so fully appre
ciated by many of the old masters that
they painted by lamplight, finding that the
effects produced under these circumstances
stood the test any and every light better
we can, of course, import or counterfeit
the various lights in which pictures are
painted, but we can at least try to discover
Whlch OF our wall surfaces, from their re.
lntlons 10 the light, will show our picture
TO the best advantage. Much of the re
SponsIblllty OF this discrimination might be
assumed BY the artist, by writing under
his signature, Light right and south " or
LEFT and north, as is often done by Par
iSian painters.
The treatment of the surrounding wall
surface is also a vital point both in desipr
and color, especially in color, as there is
always some particular tone which will
contrast will IA particular picture better
than any other, though the design of the
wall decoration is often very important a
minutely handled small Dutch picture, for
instance, requiring rather IL large treat
ment of background TO drive full force to
the detail, though this large treatment may
be carried to such an extreme AS to give
HE background the appearance of plain
wall of some color surrounding our little
minutcIy finished plnel giving it more or
less the effect of II blister. The character
ut the design on the wall is also important,

The lamented Robert Kennicott stated
that single pair of wrens carried to their
young about thousand insects in single
day! Like all young, rapidly growing
birds, they are known to be voracious
eaters, living entirely upon insects The
point upon which most stress may be laid
is this; That by providing them with nest
ing places in our gardens, orchards or
grounds, and not allowing them to be
caught by cats or scared away by mis-
chievous boys, we may have scores If not
hundreds of them about us during most of
the time In which insects are destructive.
They undoubtedly return to the same To-
cslities to rear their young year after year

Why Our Streets Are Quiet

The reason our streets are 50 quiet on
sundays is explained IN the following
from the Bellaire IndSpSndcHi and is qui e
compliment to our present efticit Mt
Chef OF Police and Mayor:
Yesterday, as has been usual ever
since the election OF the new Mayor in
Vince ing, Bsllaire received a full share
OF Wheeing's nickels, for Bellaire beer.
Zach succeeding Sunday the crowd grows
larger, and from the rapid increase We ATE
informed Of, it will probably not be long
till Bellaire will be dubbed Wheeling
bummer'S sunday resort. This is what
Il is now, in fact; out no big rows have
vet occurred, and il is TO Do presumed
from past observation that nothing will
ever be done until the rOugher element
creates a sort of sensation. Yesterday
evenings as high AS four individuals were
seen in one buggy on Union street. One
of the four WIS too full 20 hold his own
very well, and he fell out, but finally
they all got fixed so as to move ont of
town before any officers put in an ap.
This is too thick to thrive
well and disturbance may be anticipat-
ell. Bad will 20 to worse, and finally
there will be a general uprising in Bel
laiIe and a general protest will be made
against Wheeling bummerS making a
resort OF Bellaire."
