ANSWERS.

A. 1t is not, since the sap must be
changed to vapor, and water Ill turn
ing to vapor renders latent over 1000
of heat. This is. of course, entirely
lost to the consumer.
As. The PARTICLES of the teeth lost
by decay are not renewed, while in
the body they are replaced as fast as
worn out.
46. The succession of day and night
is caused by the rotation of the earth
upon its axis. As the earth performs
one rotation in each "a hours the sun
appears to pass over the entire circum-
ference of the earth in that time.
Since the earth rotates from west to
east the sun appears to travel III the
opposite direction. When the suns
rays fall vertically on any meridian it
is noon on that meridian; but as these
rays have fallen on the meridians east
of the given one previous to this time
therefore it is past noon at all places
east. Since the vertical rays have not
yet reached the meridian west of the
given one it is not yet noon there.
In other words, it is earlier at all
places west and later at all places east.
Now in "a hours the earth will have
rotated upon its axis and brought this
same meridian again beneath the YER
teal rays of the sun and 1t is again
noon. But, if instead of remaining at
this point we have been travelling
eastward during these "a hours, we
passed beneath the vertical rays be-
fore the meridian from which we start
r1n11finn Ginan
reckon time from the position OF the
sun we have gained time by our trav-
ell. If we are l5o east of our starting
point when the sun is on our meridian
we have gained one hour, that is, 1T Is
Just % hours from noon to noon again.
Now if we continue at the same rate
in the same direction, in "a days we
will have travelled "a times l5o X 360S
X the cir. of the earth, and we are
again on the meridian from which we
started.
We have counted "a days but each
day was but % hours long hence we
have got one day ahead of our friends
who remained at home; yet we have
lived no more hours than they since
we parted, so we must go back one
day in our reckoning. OF course the
result is the same at whatever speed
we travel, the faster we go the more
time we gain each day and the fewer
DAYS we are on our journey.
If we go west it will be more than
| "a hours from noon till noon again be-
cause the earth will have to make
more than an entire rotation to bring
us beneath the vertical rays again;
and we lose time because we count
that as one day which in reality is
more than day,
So when we get back, having travel
ed around in westerly direction we
have lost one day in our reckoning
which we must make up by Skipping
one day in our reckoning. ii. l..

IT will not do any hurt to read these
reflections of Peck's Sun: Windows
are being placed in the church OF the
Divine Paternity, New York, memor
ial to Rev. DIR. Chaplin, to cost 1924, 900.
How pleasant it will be for the hun.
cry orphan children of the Divine Pa.
ternity to go by that church, look at
the $25, 900 windows, and buckle up
their belts another hole for lunch!
The religion that puts $25, 900 stained
glass windows in church, when there
are children in the next block who
would look upon hyperdermic injec.
ton of peanuts as a banquet, and who
would peril their immortal souls for a
ten.cent plate of soup, is going to find
mighty uphill work on the incline

4 JOINT RESOLUTION has been introduce
ed in the legislature proposing an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing that the Supreme Circuit Judges
and all other judicial officers, except
Justices of the Peace, shall be APP
pointed by the Governor. The people
have heretofore demonstrated their
ability, as a rule, to elect proper men
to judicial offices, and we do not APP
prove this scheme to add to the pow
ers of the Governor. The more re-
mote from the people the choice of
officers is placed the more easily can
their official acts be controlled by i'm
proper influences. Place the appoint
ment of our Supreme Court in the
hands of the Governor and it will not
be long before that body will be
where Presidential favors are tending
to place the Supreme Court of the
United States--under the control of
the great corporate interests of the
country.

THE State Senate has passed a bill
to reduce the rate of interest to be re-
quired on loans from the trust funds
held by the State from seven to six
per cent. 1t was proposed to reduce
the rate to five per cent. but money
loaners objected to SO low rate as It
would affect the rate to be obtained
by them. The fact that the rate was
finally fixed at six per cent. instead of
at five, upon this objection, is signifi-

the legislature is apt to be on the side
of capital and against the poorer class
