Measuring The Speed OF
Light.
BY LAWRENCE B. FLETCHER.


Light travels at the rate Of about one
hundred and eighty-six thousand miles a
second and reaches the earth In little more
than eight minutes after 1t has started from
the sun. Now, as the earth is only little
ball, less than eight thousand miles in diam
eter, 1t is clear that light will occupy only
a very small part of a second In passing over
any distance that can be measured on the
earth. And yet light has been timed accu-
rately, not merely over a course of few
miles, but over one of few yards. The two
methods by which this has been done were
invented by two French scientists half
century ago. To illustrate the first method.
suppose you throw ball straight up through
a hole In roof, which hole is opened and
shut once every ten seconds. Now, If the
ball finds the hole open when 1t goes up, and
II 1t is thrown with such force that It's flight
lasts just ten seconds, 1t will find the hole
open again when 1t comes down, and will
return to your hand. The same thing will
happen If the balls flight lasts twenty
thirty or forty seconds. But II 1t is in the
air only five seconds, or Just fifteen or TWEEN
ty-hye. 1t will find the hole closed on its re-
turn and will be stopped
Now, In M. Fizeau's measurement of the
speed OF light a sunbeam was sent through
a small hole which was opened and shut by
toothed wheel rotating In front of 1t. Each
tooth as 1t passed the hole cut off the light
and the section of sunbeam that passed be.
tween two teeth correspondent to the ball in
our illustration. AS the wheel kept on re-
volying, there was whole series of these
balls but that made no difference They
went five or six miles to a mirror, which re-
Elected or sent them back again. On the re-
turn trip, II the speed Of the wheel was made
right each piece of sunbeam found tooth
instead Of the space between two teeth
through which II had started out. and was
stopped so that the observer saw darkness
so to speak, Instead Of light. To produce
this result 1t was found necessary to rotate
the wheel, which had TAO teeth. more than
twelve times a second. That is to say, the
light went out to the mirror and back about
eleven miles, In the time in which the edge
Of the wheel moved half the distance be-
tween two teeth-about the eighteenth
thousandth part of a second.
The second experimenter. Foucault, used
no toothed wheel. but two mirrors only

sharp steel that 1t ran bowling through the
vaults Of blue and fell exhausted in heap
OF money bags.
Shears will work In more ways than
one, reared the angry giant. 81 wouldn't
have minded giving you a few million to
found n school for the better playing of
dygurdles but you take more coupons
than are your due" The giant seized Much
slash around the legs and balancing the
twisting form of the old tailor he grinned
villalnous grin.
These magic shears will make an end Of
YOU" said the evil monster. "Will you have
your head sheared on the bias or straight
across the neck?'
Grabtall cut down from the shoulder
through the chest of Muchslash twice. The
cuts met In a point and the head of the old
tailor dropped to the ground.
Muehslash would certainly have died had
not the Wistful Witch entered and with
great presence of mind replaced his head. as
she supposed. with great correctness she
put 1t on upside down. however, in her 50
ctons haste and by so doing changed an
old man to a roundfaced young one.
Muchslash, knowing nothing OF the regain,

Grabltall and reached the outer air, wheIe
he found party of the sailors Of the yacht
OF the King of Woe waiting for him.
Full pardon has been granted TO you,
said the captain OF the vessel, Tor our
King has decided that you must return at
once to that kingdom where your jokes are
best appreciated
SO 1t happened that Muchslash, trans
formed into young gallant in way which
all may understand who take the trouble to
cut the first picture with pair OF shears
returned to his own country singing b!ithely
as he turned the hurdy gurdy. for In his
haste he had not neglected to bring with him
that faithful instrument. All his treasure
was transported, and Muchslash, the poor
tailor, became a Knight of the Golden
Fleece. A pair OF shears was painted on
his coat-of-arms, and his motto was:
These shining blades, like peeyish elves,
Cut all there is, except themselves.
He became Prime Minister and abode In
perennial youth in the Land Of Woe, where
he did much to enliyen that hitherto cheer

Then the first mirror was made to rotate
several hundred times a second. The re-

amount of the motion depending upon the
speed of the mirror. The reason Is simply
that the mirror itself had moved through a
small angle, while the light was going out

Indeed by putting a tube Allied with water

to prove that light travels more slowly

methods, with improved apparatus, and Is

WOMEN BUTTERMAKERS.
When They Fail to Produce a First. Glass Article the Fault Usually
 Lies with the Men.

A great many farmers wives arc excellent buttermakers. We have been called upon to judge hundreds of samples of butter made by Wiscon- sin ladies and have frequently found that according to our judgment 1t scored up about go, often 94 and 90. In the same exhibit, however, would be several packages that looked very well, but that we were obliged to score low because deficient in sGgfas of the qualities of good butter. Just little knowledge was lacking some where, perhaps the one who had charge of the feeding and milking was to blame; the flavor might have been ruined by bad feed or water, or carelessness in milking in a cleanly way. No matter how expert the wife may be in the science of buttermak- ing, if the husband or hired man with stable odors. if hairs, pieces of ensilage, straw, etc, are floating on the milk, her efforts will be in vain, and her natural woman's ambition t6 do things well meets with setback when told that the butter is good color, salted just right, grain good. packages neat, but poor flavor. She has done her paTt we'll and according to rule. and the butter should be per feet in flavor. In our attempt to help the woman whose butter we had found low in flavor and who looked the disappointment she no doubt felt, we have sought out the husband and learned from his methods that the trouble was at the barn end of the business. Much has been said about poor butter made upon the farm, and there is truth in the statement, but often it is not the fault of the hard working and painstaking woman. but can be traced directly to feed, care of cows and method of milking. In other words, the man is often to blame for the reputation his wife gets as woman buttermaker becomes edu- 1 cated in what constitutes good milk, and how it is produced. and demands 1 that right methods be adopted at that I end of the business. While the farm may not be the best place in the world to make good butter. it has been the source of mych fine butter in the past, and will con tinue to be 3 factor in the future. Where youI

OWe noticed in the last issue of the Free Press an ordinance giv- ing the Au 5usta Telephon Com many an exclusive franchise. This means no 0competition IS wanted and all competition Is for bidden to enter.
 Nj. H. Patterson, the sheriff of Woodruff county. for szthe con yanience of the people of the coun ty. began the erection of a sys- tenn of telephone for the free use snd benefit of those having deal ings with the sheriff. This some what interfered with the 16 to coinage mill of the Augusta Tele- phone Company. and as result the town council passed the afore- said and the same. It Is nolaw, and in the very nature of things, never can be.

 Mr. John Phillips has moved his barber shop to the old stand one door south of pr. Mccain s office. He has had it nicely furnished and has obtained the services of MT. T. F. Gibbons, of Boston, Mass. to do the tonsorial work for the public. Mr. Gibbons comes we'll recommended and as far as his workmanship is concerned, he has no superio rs and few equals.
 As we go to press, we learn of the departure of Mr. Sam Kyle to cotton Plant, where he will en- gage in the saloon business. We regret the departure of MT. Kyle from our town, but are glad we can recommend him to the people of our neighbor town. MT, Kyle's many friends will be pleased to know that he has the haRdsomest and most elaborately furnished saloon and cafe south of chicago. Messrs. Coborn and Smith will oficiate behind the mahogany.
