Velocity of Light.

We are familiar with the rush of the ex-
press train as it flashes past us at the rate
of sixty miles an hour, but light actually
travels II, l79, $50 times as fastl The initial
velocity of the shot from the l2-pound
bronze service gun is only l,769 feet a sec
ond, or 1856, 1874 only that of light, and yet
so stupendous is the scale on which the
visible universe is framed that this vehi-
Gle of our sole knowledge of our neighbors
in space, which would travel around the
earth in o. 1886 of second of time, does not
reach us from Neptune under period of
more than four hours, while from the near
est fixed star alpha CentaurD it occupies
315 years, and from little star called Mu
in Cassiopeia its journey occupies S0.1
years
These be it noted, are stars whose ''paral
lax" has been measured and whose dis
lance is known. In the case of the more
distant ones thousands of years may elapse
ere their light message reaches us, and did
our optical means enable us to see what is
going on on their surface we should gaze
upon the events of their ancient history
and be eyewitnesses of what happened
thousands of years ago.-Leisure Hours.

Tho Humorist in Congress.

'Once a man establishes reputation as
a wit or a humorist it clings to him for
life" said Representative Charles H..
Hooker whenever ne gets up to speak
people expect TO hear something funny.
Proctor Knott, you remember, had such a
reputation, mainly on account of his fa-
nous Duluth speech. remember on one
occasion he began speech in the house in
his usual humorous vein. In moment
every member on the floor crowded around
him. After he had spoken about five min
utes he said: But now, Mr.. Speaker, to
discuss this bill eriously'-members did
not allow him to finish the sentence, but
broke for the cloakrooms. They did not
want to hear him talk seriously. Ny
friend John Allen is humorist also, but
he uses his humor to good advantage. He
makes it tell in its effect on the opposition.

tions with his humor. Washington Post.

a Clever Dog.

Patrick Jordan, q teamster, living at
swenty-third street and Paramount ave-
nue, has had for several years handsome
and most intelligent Scotch terrier which
he calls Bob, and who has so endeared him
self to the teamster and his family by his
good nature, affection and development of
rare sagacity that his comfort and tastes
are almost as much matter of family con-
Germ and consideration as those of any one
in the household.
One of the most striking evidences of the
dogs great intelligence was given one
evening. Bob, s0r some trifing breach of
kitchen etiquette, was relegated to the
back yard for brief spell. 1t was rather
cold outside, and Bob obeyed the mandate
of the head of the house with great re-
luctance, not to say characterization.
In a few minutes afterward, just as the
irate feelings of Mr.. Jordan had begun to
relax, partly owing to his own feeling for
Bob and also to the opportunities of his
children, who were much affected by Bob's
disgrace and were imploring their father
for his pardon and reinstatement on The
family hearth, several soft knocks came tc
the door, and on it being opened Bob Sc
dately walked in, and proceeding to thi
other end of the room jumped on chair

u fire in the yard to keep himself warm

master in the same way and had seen tn
operation of lighting them and it is sup
posed that this extraordinary act of canin
sagacity had followed from these facts.
Bobs singular behavior in this instanc
broke down at once at any trace of resent
ment or anger which his former fall fror
grace had caused, and amid shouts Q
laughter he was restored at once to hi

How French Babies are Projected.

From Baby.
1t is now forbidden in France, under
severe penalties, for any one to give
TO infants under year any form of
solid food unless such be ordered by
written prescription signed by le-
gally qualified medical man. Nurses
are also forbidden To use in the rear.
ing of infants cOnfided to their care at
any time or under any pretext what.
soever any nursing bottle provided
with rubber tube Several other
similar and equally stringent laws
have recently been enected by the
French Government, which dispair-
ing of obtaining any increase in the
birth rate IN their land, are now turn
ing their attention TO the saving of
the few children that are horn.
Efforts are also being made to break
up the system of baby farming, and
to induce French, or rather Partisan,
mothers TO nurse there own infants.
Much of this action by the authori
ties has been at the instance of the
mem bers of the members of the
Society for the Protection of Childrep
comparatively recent organization,
whose object is definitely expressed
in its name. The President of this
society is DR.. Rochard, who has
preached the gospel of caring for in
fauts for many years. He was one
OF the first to sound the alarm at the
decreasing population OF France, but
for long time his voice was like that
of one crying in the wilderness. Only
eight years ago, when in a public dis
course he predicted that the popula
ton of France would be stationary
laughed at and the press called him an
alarmist. But his vindication as
true prophet has come even sooner
than he anticipated.
At recent meeting of this society,
which was founded mainly by his ex-
urtions and in consequence OF his
note OF warning, DR. Rochard stated
that France loses every year 250, 900
infants, and that out of this numbtr
there are at least 100, 900 whose lives
could be saved with intelligent care.
These lives were the more precious
in the present period, for France
could no longer afford to lose them,
since in q single year the deaths
outnumbered the births by nearly
40, 600. 1t was not easy, he said, to
add 10 the births, but it was possible
TO diminish the death rate among
infants. II the 100000 prevents BILE
deaths among Infants were prevented
| or even il one half of the number of
lives now needlessly sacrificed to ig-
norance or carelessness were saved,
France would soon be repeopled.
