Pittsburg News Though elevators
are not new, they are new to a whole
lot Of persons. An old fellow from
somewhere is the client of a lawyer
who recently removed his office from
the first floor of an old building in
Grant street to the thirteenth floor OF
a modern office building. The old fell
low came in to see him, and after
much trouble found the building. His
legs were stiff and his wind was short,
but he started up the stairs. by the
time he reached the fourth floor he
declared that he would take his bust
ness out of the hands of the man who
was so unreasonable as to live so high.
He took a long rest at the fifth floor
and would have turned back II II
wasn't that he wanted to pay of his
lawyer that very day and retain one
with an office on the ground floor. AT
the seventh floor he gave it up. He
couldn't go any higher. He sat on
the steps and watched the elevators
,e0ing up and down and noticed that
they were we'll filed. He reasoned that
since scarcely any person used the
stairway the fare on the elevators
could not be high, and he could hard
~ be accused of extravaganza if he
rode the rest of the way, since there
would be no necessity for him to come
to the building again. So he hailed
one of them. How muchll you
charge to take me to the thirteenth
floor?" he asked the young man who
seemed to be in charge. Get IN mere!
ordered the young fellow, as he seized
him by the coat, pulled him into the
car and started up. Il can't stand

chap, untying the shoe string that
held his wallet. But the door wa;
slammed in his face and the car dis
appeared. "Thunderation" exclaimed
the old fellow. "If I'd known that

His lawyer explained the matter u
him. and while the old man though

to be riding up and down free all c

GLASS HOUSES HOLD HEAT.
Energy from Sun Passes Through Glass
in Waves of Light.


From the Boston Globe:: Il is very
curious, said the old professor OF phys
les, to see how many market garden
ers thare are to raise things under
glass, make money out OF the process,
and yet do not know why their heat
ing frames and their lighthouses remain
hot inside. Now, as a matter OF fact,
the heat mechanism of dollhouse de-
pends on a well-known proposition or
physics. I suppose you are acquainted
with the fact that the energy nom the
sun travels in the form OF little waves.
The energy does not come down TO US
in straight lines; it comes, as It were,
in a. zigzag manner, dancing from side
IN side as it comes along. Ii these
waves are very short, light Is the
result; if they are trife longer, they
take the form of heat. Ii the nght
waves strike anything on the way
down they are very apt to- be turned
into heat. Now, the waves which form
light are so short that they will read
ilv pass through glass, but the waves
which form heat are so long that they
will not pass through. From thls'
therefore, you may see, why a not
house remains hot. The energy from
tbe sun passes into the house through
tbe glass roof in the form OF lght..
Then it strikes the objects in the mousse
and is turned to heat. But this heat
cannot pass out through the glass. The
heat waves are too long So the light
keeps coming in and the heat keeps
accommodating, and soon the hothouse
becomes very warm indeed, even ON
| the coolest days in winter.
OF course our dwelling houses are
heated by the sun in the same way
| The light comes in through the win-
dows, but the heat cannot pass out.

Along with the Philippines the
United States received a tributary
king, the boy sultan of the Sulu
islands. He reigns over group OF
islands which extend from Mindanao
westward to Borneo. The principal
island of the group is the Island of
Sulu, from which the archipelago takes
its name. The chief seaport of the
island is the town of Jolo, place OF

was not until 1877 that the sultan ac-
knowledged the protectorate of Spain.
Even then the other nations of the
world were slow to acknowledge that
the dominions of the sultan of Sulu
belonged to Spain. Finally. by pro-
tocol signed at Madrid on May 7, 1885,
the suzerainty of Spain over the Sulu
sultanate was acknowledged by Great
Britain and Germany. BY this con-

of the sultanate is the city of Sulu, in
the island of the same name, connected
by roads with the port of Jolo. The
sultan is an absolute ruler, having the
power OF life and death over his sub

under him are several subordinate
chiefs called Dattos, who rule on the
feudal principle. The inhabitants of
the sultanate are Mahometans, as are
