When Linen Is Translucent.

The whiteness and opacity of dry
linen, as of writing paper, are due
mainly to the fact of repeated reflex
ions at the surface, so that the light is
wasted in these reverberations before
it can reach to any depth.
The body of linen is a network of
transparent fbers not in optical con-
tact, which intercept the light by re-
peatedly ref1exing it. Now, if the in
terstices of these fbers are filed by a
body of the same retroactive index as
the fibers themselves the refeXion of
the surface is destroyed and the linen
is rendered more transparent. Water
does this; hence linen when wet is
darker, but more translucent, just as
is the oiled paper used for tracings by
architects and engineers.
The same holds good with ordinary
glass and ground glass, the repeated
reflexions of the latter making it far
less transparent. To similar cause are
due the whiteness and opacity Of snow,
of salt and Of pulyerized glass.

RULES ALLOWED.

Chicago, Oct. If l could fro
all the men I suspect of grating
they would be jumping out of every
window in the city hall.
'This hall is full of graft, big and
little-you know it and can't prove it.
"Tve got eighteen months left and
I'll get some of them yet"
With these and other frank declara-
tons Mayor Harrison has expressed
himself ON the subject of municipal
service. He asserted that his hands
were tied; that convincing proof
could not be secured to establish guilt,
but that in the remaining months of
his administration some means would
be found to clean out number of de-
partments.
Suspicious were not proofs. the
mayor said. and proofs were necessary
to discharge a man under the civil
service laws. He declared it to be an
impossibility to get sufficient evidence
in many known cases.
The police department, he said, was
full of many suspected cases of cor
ruption. Wholesale removals would
be the result if the power to dis
charge without question were in his
hands.

How We Locate o Sound.


The detection of the direction of a
sound by the sense of hearing is. like
the rapid focusing of the eye on OBJ
jects at different distances, one of those
instructive operations which are con-
tinually done without any conscious
method.
Sound waves traverse the air as rip
pies stir the water, and the ear. by ex-
perience, acquires some slight power of
detecting the direction in one case, as
the eye does with far greater accuracy
in the other. Usually we unconscious
ly receive assistance from other senses
as we'll. Often we fail to locate at
once some hidden source of sound. such
as singing bird, and then our instinc-
tive ingenuity displays itself.
The intensity Of sound is, of course.
by no means so great behind a screen
as in front of it, and every one carries
with him the screen of his own head,
which may prevent a particular sound
from being heard SO well by one ear
as by the other. If, then, the head is
turned until this inequality disappears,
and both ears hear equally well. we
know that we must be directly facing
or turned from the source of sound,
and our previous rough idea of its
whereabouts generally prompts us to
face it,

the defense.
"You aided and abetted them, Ruth"
"All the time," confessed Mrs. Lam

she added hesitatingly, 1T did not

The judge was already standing in
the road beside her, and in his eyes
was the earnestness that had been in

was the chauffeur with water. The
Judge laid his hand firmly over the one

"Am too late, Ruth?" he said gen.

"Where is papa ?" asked Daisy. And
there was no fear in her voice, only
joy and pride and new f1edged dignity.
"Mrs. Lambert and he have gone on
down the pike together" said the
chauffeur. "They left word to you to
take this auto and go where you

The bridal pair looked in each 9TH
