Longfellow's Most Famous Lines.

Lonsfellow's poems which most touch
the heart, are about children. and moth

these lines:

The vacant chair Is always fraught
with saddcst memories-sOmetimes with
bitterest regret. because of 4 young life
lost that might perhaps have been
saved. Is there not a deep lesson in
this for parents? Children are frail
barks upon Lies stormy sea. They are
often delicate and scken easily. They
should be cured at orce, for neglect
may be forever fatal. Parents who have

WHY GLASS HOUSES HOLD HEAT
The Scientific Explanation of Some
thing we see Every Day.

The Scientific Explanation OF some
thing VIC see Every Day.
1t is very curious. said the old profess
sor of physics. 10 see how many market
gardeners there are who raise things
under glass. making money out OF the
process, and yet do not know why their
heating frames and their hot houses re-
main hot inside.
Now, us a matter OF fact. the heat
mechanism Of hot house depends on a
well-known proposition in physics. l
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; 1t comes, as 1t were. In
zigzag manner. dancing from side to
side as 1t comes along. II these waves
are very short. light is the result: IL
they are trIhc longer, they take the
form of heat.
II 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
hot house remains hot. The energy
from the sun passes into the house
through the glass roof in the form of
light. Then II strikes the objects In the
house and is turned to heat.
But this heat cannot pass through the
glass. The heat waves are too long.
So the light keeps coming in and the
heat Keeps accommodating, and soon the
hot houses become very warm. indeed,
even on the coolest days in winter.
or 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

THE INTELLIGENcER.
WHEELING, FEBRUARY 10, 1900.
Rank PartIsansllin.

The Register quotes an article from
the Charleston Democratic organ. the
Gazette. in a weak effort to make it
appear somehow or other, that the
Democratic party inaugurated the free
school system in certain states, because
states named at the time the law went
into effect. The logic of this rather
amusing allusion is that the Republic
cans were opposed to the free schools,
and the Democrats were obliged to take
possession and establish them. In
tother words. the matter of supporting
free schools is n partisan question, and
IL we had not the Democratic party
there would be no free schools in any
state. 1t seems strange that a reputa-
BILE newspaper should raise such an un-
worthy point, in view of history.
AS for West Virginia. when the Dem
ocrats came in power the state Of West
Virginia was but ten years old. and had
not yet recovered entirely from the eff
fects of the war, and from the effects OF
the rule Of eastern Virginia. whose pol
Icy wa opposed to free schools. so far
as the sentiment was reflected by cx-
nrcssions of her leading men in power.
politics of the matter of the establish
ment of free schools, has no basis at
all. The people have been practically
unanimous for the public schools sys-
TEN in all progressive states. 1t has
never been made a party question by
progressive citizens.
The Gazette makes the point, and a
foolish one it is. that because certain
statcs-had Democratic legislatures at
the time the system was adopted the
party should be credited with it. Does
it necessarily follow that Republicans
when in power repealed the laws, and
have they not been just as liberal and
just as progressive In their policy?
We doubt IL 1t ever occurred to any
citizen before that the public school
system in this day of advancement was
a political issue. Suppose the Charles
ton Gazette and its echo. the Register.
give the school and other educational
statistics. and the record Of illtcracy,
OF all the states that have been con-
trollcd by the Republican party for the
past two decades. and compare them
with similar figures from states on the
other side.
Another absurdity which the Gazette
declares. and the Register approves. is
that Republican leaders. as he whom
that party has just recently sent to the
senate, proposed to sccedc from the
state If the school taxes were TO be dis
tributcd among the counties in proper
ton of the number OF their children"
Nonsense. a Republican governor has
recently recommended the distribution
of the irreducible school fund for the
betterIncnt OF the school system for the
present and rising generation. and to
repeal the law requiring 1t to accumu-
late untouched into millions for the BEN
Cit of generations unborn. and it meets
with favor from members of the legis-
laturc. regardless Of party. The refer
ence to Mr.. Scott. exposes the animus
Of the Gazette's article and the Regis
tcr's approval. and is unworthy Of fur
thcr notice.

The fact that the Cuban troops re-
fused to take part In the parade at the
Garcia, simply because they had lit
tie dispute with the American COM
mandcr, General Brooke. does not re-
fleet credit upon the Cuban fighting
patriots. A failure to pay tribute to a
leader who led them against Spanish
oppression for years. merely because of
n spite against one Of the great soldiers
who came to his aid and theirs. is not
at all soldierly conduct. Perhaps the
Cuban troops will learn some of the
courteses and the obligations of civili-
cation. when they become infused with
little more Americanism.

The fact that a plea Is to be made by
Aguinaldo's agents to European powers
to interfere In the behalf OF the Fill.
pinos against the United States, Is q
ridiculous proposition to say the least.
There Is not European or any other
sort OF power that would raise hand
in such a matter and under such cir
cumstances, for several reasons, A
very important one Is that there Is no
foreign power that has any desire to
make war on the United States. An
other Is that such move would plunge
Europe into hopeless embodiment. a
powerful reason is that the fear Of Eng
land would be an important factor.
Yet another Is that no power would
care to run UP against q situation
where n state Of war between two rec
ognized powers Is coming to peace
agreement or treaty. which has been
ratified by only one OF the parties, and
the policy OF the victorious power to-
ward the conquered territory: has not
yet been adopted, and cannot be until
ratification By both sides is CONSUME
mated A policy which is to be shaped
by the legislative body of the country.
into whose possession the Philippines
have come pending this decision, cannot
be interfered with unless that policy
should be extremely offensive TO foreign
countries.
1t isn't the first time that the Filipinos
have petitioned in similar manner,
even when protesting friendship 10 the
United States and failed. A set up
government Of the Aguinaldo sort has
no claim for recognition by any country
until 1t establishes itself. nor has any
government any knowledge other than
that by virtue OF treaty and u peace
protocol the United States has control
of the territory. and no civilized gov
eminent will recognize Mr.. Aguinaldo
under such circumstances. His record
for treachery aud bad faith marks him
for suspicion in all the seats Of govern
ment.

The existing intense cold wave has
given rise to q great deal of discussion
among old citizens as TO the date OF
previous excessive frigid temperature.
and when the "reminiscences go back of
official records, the arguments narrow
down TO the particular hour in which
the record was broken. There Is some
satisfaction In the knowledge that on
such a day the lowest temperature OF
record was reached-that Is. that 1t was
the coolest day on record. That day
goes on record and can be easily refer
red to. but, as Il contemporary says. it
is a snare and delusion to say that
this was the coolest thirteen minutes
past ever known on the 10th of Febru-
airy in ayear that wasn't a leap year."
