ora sliI,tin Electiops nnd new

From the American Revolution to the
year 1923 the officers of the militia of
the state of New York had been ap-
pointed by the council of appointment
upon the recommendation of command
ing officers of divisions, brigades and
regiments. and the promotions were
generally made according to rank and
seniority. Under the new constitution
and the militia law of 1928, and in ac-
cordance with the democratic spirit Of
the period, the election Of military Off
GERS became the established usage and
has continued until the present day.
The election of officers In 1923 and fol-
lowing year was attended with consid-
cradle ceremony Officers attending
them in full uniform. and noncommis-
stoned officers and priyates in undress
uniform. Clark's History.

SIGNALING TO MARS.
The Difficulty of Doing So by Means
of Light.


of Light.
The very largest city that this earth
has ever known would be altogether
too small to be visible to a being
dwelling on the planet Mars, even If
that being We're endeavoring to see II
with a telescope as powerful as the
greatest and most perfect instrument
in any observatory on this globe.
If the whole extent of Lake Superior
was covered with petroleum and if that
petroleum was set on fire, then, l think,
we may admit that an inhabitant of
Mars who was furnished with q tele-
scope as good as that which Percival
Lowell uses at Flagstaff might be able
to see that something had happened.
But we must not suppose that the
mighty confagration would appear to
the Martian as a very conspicuous OBJ
ject. 1t would, rather, be very small
feature, but still L think 1t would not
be beyond the reach Of practiced OBJ
server in that planet.
On the other hand, If an area the size
of Lake Superior on Mars was to be
flooded with petroleum and that petro.
leum was to be kindled, we should ex-
pect to witness the event from here not
as u great and striking confagration,
but as tiny little point of just dis
cernible light. The disk of Mars Is
not a large object, and the confagra-
ton would not extend over the three
hundredth part of that disk.
1t Is sufficient to state these facts to
show that the possibility of signaling
to Mars is entirely beyond the power of
human resources.-Sir Robert S. Ball

BLuNDERS IN FICTION.
The Queer Mistakes That Are Some

The Queer Mistakes That Are Some
times Made by Authors.
We smile as we read and pass swiftly
by the stories of maidens that wander
in "lonely woods" at unearthly hours
of night, always clad in "a soft, white
clinging gown" Now, every girl knows
that the average maiden Is too much
afraid Of tramps and snakes to wander
in lonely woods" The weather, too,
appears to perplex our novelists, for
not infrequently they begin chap
ter at dawn, there are q few mo-
ments' conversation, and then the tssun
sets in lurid banks behind the distant
empurpled mountains"
/ am reminded at the outset Of an
English story written by an author Of
repute where the heroine in one scene
was made on one page to stoop down
and tie her shoestring, while three
pages farther on, directly following. it
was said of the same girl that she had
remained barefooted the entire day. In
another story a blind woman Is made
to view the hero through spectacles be-
fore the tale is ended.
In French novel-and we generally
consider French such literary masters
Ia heroine is clearly made to go direct
from her bed to the breakfast table,
out shopping, to an afternoon tea and
to dinner in her robe de mutt Cousins
suddenly transformed Into brothers
without a moments warning are nu-
merous in this detectives library. Thus
one is amused to find the most mar
velous mistakes IN books which we
think we have carefully read. Modern

Artificial Stone.

Quarrymen and stone dressers will
probably be gradually crowded out OF
their occupation by the use of artificial
stone. In the manufacture of this stone
the sand Is heated and the cement add
ed to the amount of IL per cent of the
mixture. The steel molds are filled
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder, which is closed
and bolted. Boiling water is then
turned in under pressure sufficient to
force it all through the sand in the
molds. The cement slacks, but the
steel molds do not permit any expan-
sion to occur, and the stone Is formed
and dried under an immense pressure
The result is very hard stone, which
can be supplied in shapes desired and
much cheaper than the natural stone.

THE HONEYBEE.
It's Curious Jaws and It's Wonderfu
Little T0nGue.

It's Curious Jaws and It's Wonderful
Little Tongue.
With the closest scrutiny 1t becomes
evident that the bee does not, like
other creatures, house It's tongue in its
mouth, but neatly folds 1t back beneath
its head Bumblebees, when disturb
ed, have way Of threatening with
their jaws, while the honeybee has
the more direct method of settling in
truders with her sting.
The jaws Of the bee are very credit
able organs and can give quite a for
midable nip. Catch bee in a net and
see how viciously 1t wlll bite at the
meshes, working its jaws sideways in
stead Of up and down.
We call this wonderful implement of
the bee a tongue, but in reality 1t is
more than this, for the whole arrange
ment consists Of two slender filaments
called maxillm. the under lip and the
actual tongue. If q drop of honey lies
near the surface of flower, the slen-
der, active tongue, darting out from
the case formed by the maxill@, licks
It up with the same ease that q dog
licks plate. Should the tube of the
flower be elongated the bee has at
command another length of tongue,
which is shot out from within and
shuts up like a telescope when no
longer wanted.
To appreciate fully this delicate
organ you should watch the bee sepa-
rate 1t into its component parts and
clean it out. The lengthening process
of the proboscis, as the tongue and its
allied parts are sometimes called, is
accomplished by series of springs and
hinges. In addition to this telescoping
power, the tongue is a hairy member
the hairs arranged in rings, the longest
ones toward the center. They assist In
lifting in the nectar and in pumping II
into the mouth. Thence 1t goes to the
honey k.-Chautauquan.

You will try to make her happy. and you'll give

And everlastingly you'll prate about your own

But whatever else you do, don't, for heavens
sake, be led
10 put that helpless woman in the cold spare

You may tell her of your troubles with your nu
merous hired girls
And what ''she said'' and what 81 said'' till hel

You may talk of the servant question till the set

And begin again next morning on the same ole

But whatever else you do, don't, for heavens

To put that helpless woman in the cold spar;

You may tell her of your pains and aches ant
what the doctor said
That time you came near dying with neuralgia in
your head;
OF how you poured down bitters and drops anc

You may bore her. you may weary her, till sht

But, for heavens sake, don't put her in the cole

TALK OF MARRIAGE.

1t Is Proper For the Man, but Not
For the Girl, Apparently.
a man may remark on his intention
to marry at some Indefinite future time,
when prudence or other considerations
may make 1t possible or advisable,
without having, as rule, to run the
gantlet of chorus of impertinent and
stupid would be witty remarks. But
should a girl be bold enough, or. rather,
natural and simple enough, to say the
same thing what would be the result
Why, every one knows that she would
be promptly sneered out Of counte-
nance.
And why? Is it immodest for WON.
an to express determination to enter
into state which we are being contin.
ually reminded is a natural and honor.
able state, while it is modest and prop
er for man to do SO? Such distinc-
tion would never be drawn except for
the "cheapness'' to which reference has
been made.
If u man wants to marry, he can mar
ry. If the first woman he asks refuses
him, he has only to ask second or per.
haps a third or fourth. 1t would be
safe to guarantee that within a month
any man of fairly respectable life and
position and appearance who cared to
make the experiment could marry in
his own class, could marry probably 9
woman much superior to himself.
But what about the girl who intends
to marry ''some day" Is she not In q
very different position from the man.
Here IS girl Of good character-mucf
better than the mans. probably-aver'
age intelligence, average good looks
Theoretically she is free to marry
whom she will, but Is she? If she re
ceives one distinct offer of marriage
she has had more than her share, &C
cording to the probable average.
The fact that by an unwritten law 9
woman must not take, and, indeed, does
not want to take, the initiative has very
little to do with the extremely limited
choice which modern conditions impose
upon English Nineteenth Cen
tury.
