why Glass Houses Hold Heat.

at is very curious" said the Old pro.
fessor of physics. ito see how many mar
ket gardeners there are who raise things
under glass; make money out of the pro-
cess and yet do not know why their heat
ing frames ard their hot houses remain
hot inside. Now, as matter of fact, the
heat mechanism of hot house depends on
a well known proposition In physics. 1t Is
part Of the wave theory of light and heat
/ suppose you are acquainted with the
fact that the energy from the sun travels
In the form of little waves. The energy
does not come down to US in straight lines;
10 comes, ii were, In "A zigzag manner,
dancing from side TO side as ~ comes
along. If these waves are very short,
light Is the result; If they are a tridle long
or. they take the form of heat. If the
light waves strike anything on the way
down, they are very apt to be made longer,
or rather they are apt to be turned into
heat Now, the waves which form light
are so short that they Will readily pass
through glass. but the waves which form
heat are so long that they will not pass
through.
From this therefore, you may see why
a hot house remains hot. The energy from
the sun passes into the house through the
glass roof i'm the form of light. Then il
strikes the objects in the house 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 keep accommodating, and soon
the hot houses become very warm, indeed,
even on the coolest days in winter. Why,
It is possible to store up heat in this way
until 212 degrees, the boiling point of wa
ter, Is reached. 1t has been done. OF
course our dwelling houses are heated by
the sun in the same way. The light comes
in through the windows, but the heat can
not pass out"

The "Staulaws' face is rapidly gaining
a renown before which the Gibson" face
is obliged TO retreat in good order There
was a time when every maid in the coun-
try initiated the Gibson style, with the
fond hope that if she parted her hair and
put il back smartly. and held up her chin
and cultivated a look of sweet If naughty
seriousness, she might grow to be like the
damsels THAI haunt the pages of "A Sol
der of Fortune" and the Princess Aline''
and be recognized as OF that class Nine
out of ten of those who worked 10 this end
never received the slightest recognition for
their efforts and were forced to come down
from their pedestals after awhile and go

American girls.
The Stanlaws girl is less ideal, but more
vivacious and jolly and gay than the Glib
SON model. She hasn't one naughty air
in her whole category and an effort on her
part to be scornful would result In dire
failure. She could be angry and a nttle
ronical, if she chose; her pointed chin and
tip-tilted nose show that. Beyond every
thing she is a wholesome maid, fun Of life
and spirit and several thousand degrees
removed from severe. We meet the girl
with the Stanlaws face every now and

for her animated and mobile countenance.

WILL HAVE TO ANSWER
Mayor Mccarthy Takes Up the
Dwan Charges.
WILL SIFT THE MAT TER
II Innocent the Mayor VIII Stand Up
for Him, but II Guilty Dwan
Will Have to Pay the
Penalty.

The publication by the Standard yes
terday Of the serious charges made
against Custodian Jerry Duan of the
city crematory was the occasion OF
that official spending very uncom-
Portable day yesterday. Mayor Nc
Carthy was not aware of the charges
made against his appointee till he read
his Standard, and to say he was as
tonished would put it mildly. He i'm
mediately summoned carriage and
drove to the crematory, where an in
teresting interview took place between
himself and Custodian Dwan. The lat
ter denied that there was any truth in
the charges that he had sold condemn
ed fruit that had been sent to him
to be burned, but Mayor Mccarthy
was very much in earnest and told
Dwan he must prove his innocence or
charges would be filed against him with
the council committee.
Mayor Mccarthy was greatly con-
cerned yesterday over the matter. TITS
serious thing" said he to a Standard
reporter "If the charges are not true,
If Mr.. Dwan is not guilty Of having
sold condemned fruit, it is an unwar-
ranted reflection to have such proceed
ings instituted. On the other hand,
II 1t Is true that Mr.. Dwan has vio-
lated his trust, he will have to an
swer for it. 1t is a matter I deeply
deplore in any event, for it is my aim
to see all city departments honestly
and clearly administered, and if it
should prove that one of my appointees
has been recreant to the trust impos-
ed in him I shall be exceedingly sorry.
I propose to sift the matter thorough
ly and If Mr.. Dwan Is innocent shall
stand by him, but If he is not he must
suffer the consequences"
There is another phase of the matter
that concerns the mayor also. He
said that three weeks ago he issued
orders that no more condemned fruit
should be sent to the crematory to be
burned without an order from him.
1.-THE inspection of fruit is a state in
stitution," said he, land I cannot see
why the city should stand the expense
of cremating fruit condemned by the
state. For this reason I issued an or
der that no more fruit should be ere
mated without an order from me. as
I propose that the department of fruit
inspection shall at least pay the city
for the wood consumed if we are to
cremate their condemned fruit. Il feel
that Inspection semple should have
come to me before sending any more
fruit to the crematory, though, of
course, his failure to do so does not
mitigate Mr.. Dwan's offense if he is
guilty as charged. AS I said, I shall
see that the matter Is thoroughly in
vestigated."
Custodian Dwan, when seen yester-
day, denied the truth of the charges
against him. IT never sold any fruit
sent to the crematory as condemned"
said he II burned the 60 boxes I am
accused of selling and there is no
foundation for the charges. On one
occasion lot of hawkers came out to
the crematory and tried to buy some
fruit, but sent them away, and this
