WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Vas Ready for RurgIars

IL was during that heavy downpour-
ing OF rain on Sunday night over q
week ago that a well-known Wesl
side plumber fought long distance
battle with burglars. and whlCa two
cats of Thomas persuasion, a typical
Tin roof, a window screen, a next
door neighb0r and two cologne bottlc<
played respective parts.
Tho plumber, who had been living
On his bed reading, fell asleep. Tae
neighDor, finding that ,he rain was
beating into a window, removed a
screen and lowered the window. The
Gampness had swollen The window
frame which made it a difficult ana
noisy job 10 remove it. The racket
routed two cats that had taken refuge
under the caves of the main roof close
TO the house upon the tin roof of the
porch. The felines became excited and
paraded about on the roof making as
much noise as a man would have made
in walking across it. This noise awoke
the sleeping plumber, who is a past
master in the use of profane language.
He began swearing as soon as he was
awake and thinking that there was a
man on the roof he grasped two col
ogne BOTTLES from off the bureau Then
he invited the burglar to enter
Why don't you come in that win
dow if you want to-" he asked
Il dare you to come in here, YOU
blankety, blank blank robber."
III bust your head with these bot
ties and many other expressions
could be heard from the plumber, who
stood in the middle of his bed room
with a cologne bottle in each hand
awaiting the onslaught Of the mid
night marauder.
The neighbor and his wife stood in
their bedroom near the main door and
enjoyed the show.
After the cats had retired from the
roof the plumber gazed out of his bar
ricade at the pouring rain and
hoped somebody's gas pipes or
water pipes would be damaged
to such an extent that he
would be called in to repair them; and
vowed he would charge big money for
the work.
The cats returned to the wood shed
and looked sorrowfulas they thoughtof
the wickedness of man in general and
plumbers in particular.
1t was next day when the plumber
was telling of his brave stand against
burglars that the joke came out, and
the neighbor told Of hearing the
plumber run the chromatic scale of
profanity with excited earnestness.

1t is a pity that the southern repub-
lies cannot settle their differences by
agreeing to unite. When Chile con-

ago, she became the stumbling block
of international harmony on the south

arbitration. She caused friction in the
Pan-American conference at Washing

the failure of the one that was TO have

TO answer. In order 10 study the force

according To Nature. devised what he

from the sun changes the water In

condensed by suitable arrangement

changed TO steam the suns heat can
be calculated.
Observations made at Sohag In
Egypt showed that the sun could
evaporate TO steam more than seven
teen and half cubic centlmeters Of
water per square meter OF surface
per minute. No allowance has been
made for instrumental imperfectlons.
They certainly exist and by making
suitable corrections we find the force
of the sun per square meter TO be
