The Father of Graham Brend.

It would be interesting to trace the
rise and fall of fad. In 1882 Sylves-
ter Graham, Yankee preacher of the
Presbyterian faith, decided that the
surest way to cure the people of in
temperance in drinking was to cure
them of the fesh-eating habit. He
went up and down preaching vege-
tarianism and became the leader of n
great following. He not only con-
demned liquors, but tea, coffee, but
ter and salt, and wrote book to
prove that the only bread fit to eat
was made of unbolted -four. This re-
suited in the Graham-hour brand,
called to this day in his honor. "Gra-
ham boarding houses" were estah-
lished everywhere, at which these
doctrines were practised Horace
Greeley found his bride at Graham
clearinghouse, and for time fol-
lowed Graham's teachings. Graham
advocated that following his diet would
cause one to live to biblical age, but
he died at the early age of fifty-six. -

A Blessing In Disguise,

''The big floods in the Mississippi

and the other from four to eight feet.

lect rents from my colored tenants, and
they paid Inc dollar for dollar, having
produced on those flooded farms the
biggest crops Of cotton on record.
They had paid their debts to the local
merchants, too, and still had more
cotton left in the fields than they had
gathered. You never saw a happier
lot of people in your life. The over
flow was blessing in disguise to hun

HEAT OF SUN AFFECTS 1T MOST.
Influence of Elements ON Pendulum ut
Washington Monument.

Washington Monument.
"There is a misconception as to the
extent of the influence of heat and
cold upon the perpendicularity of the
Washington monument" remarked n
well known engineer to Star re-
porter, "and the idea that the monu-
ment sways far out of plumb is wrong.
The pendulum apparatus which is in
use in the monument shows occasional
Emergencies, but even with the most
exact observations made by most COM
petent men, these Emergencies are
very slight. The apparatus is gradu-
ated so fine that it shows leaning Of
one-tenth of an inch. Now, l find that
the idea very generally prevails that
the monument leans away from the sun
several feet. This is far from being
correct. The heat from the sun af-
fects the monument, as it does the
dome. of the capitol, but byno means to
the extent that is generally believed.
In winter time this is much less
marked than it is during summer, for
by the time the sun warns the struc-
ture to any appreciable extent it
passes around, first to the south and
then on to the west, so that it equal
ICES its influence. The effect as
marked by the pendulum is, there.
fore, on many days more imaginary
than real, though, as 1 have stated,
in very warm weather the pendulum
shows variance of nm inch or so from
plumb. The same thing occurs in
very high brick houses, the 90 to 80
story buildings in New York and Chi
cago, for instance, but it is so slight
and so difficult to measure that no at
tention is ever given to it. A daily
record is kept OF the pendulum at the
monument, but the matter has been
regarded as so unimportant that there
has never been any record published.
The dome of the capital being of iron
is much more influenced by the sun
than the monument, but even this is
unimportant and so slight that it has
never been accurately ascertained or
Measured. The word picture of the
Goddess of Liberty going out every
morning to receive the kiss Of the sun
god is, therefore, to very great ex-
tent, fiction. though no doubt very
beautiful one. Washington Star.

During certain definite seasons of
the year sun spots travel across the
suns surface in straight bands. Dur
y
they travel across the surface in curves.
Sun spots occur in greater or less
numbers, new ones forming and old
ones disappearing constantly. There
is maximum number at periods about
eleven years apart, according to obser-
vations made continuously during the
present century.
The suns distance is equal TO about
two thousand times the diameter of
the earth. A train running at sixty
five miles an hour would reach the
sun in 175 years. At the rate of two
cents mile the fare to the sun would
be about $l,500,000.
The force of gravity at the suns
