It Is Sixteenth of Second and Thou.
sands Are Spent to Find II.
If one grain of sand on the shore of
the ocean were lost and scientists
were to spend years in trying to find it
they would be attempti..g a task re.
sembling that to which the leading as
tronomers of England and France are
now devoting themselves. One six
teenth of a second is missing and no
one can tell where it has gone. Be
tween the suns time, as recorded at
Greenwich and as understood at Paris,
there is that brief and seemingly unim.
portant discrepancy. No expense Is
being spared to trace the missing frac'
ion. A special building has been
erected at Paris. costly instruments
installed, a corps of mathematician
engaged. and a process that may take
years to complete has been com
menced. The inaccuracy is more i'm.
portant than will appear to the lay
mind. Longitude is calculated on the
basis of Greenwich time. 1t deter
mines the boundaries Of many coun'
tries. A slight variation of time may
change the nationalities of thousands
of people The pursuit of the missing
fraction of a second is, therefore, OF
worldwide Importance. When 1t Is
found not grain of the sands of time
will be missing.-London Tid-Bits.

Nearly rs Per Cent OF the So-Calied
SIX Is Tin, Pure and Simple.
A Chicago chemist declares that rs
per cent OF the so-called silk used for
skirts, blouses, and dresses is nothing
less than tin. pure and simple.
He asserts that the practice of sub
stituting tin for vegetable weighing
substances originated In Germany.
The vegetable matters were no detri-
ment, though equal brilliancy of color
YVES not obtainahle, and there was not
the same sheen and feel" when han
died as that produced by the real silk,
which has the rustic so pleasing to
ladies' ears. THE practice of the
dyer" he explains, Ito whose hands
the silk yarn is intrusted for dyeing
and weighing, is to boil it, and In so
doing he reduces every sixtsen ounces
to twelve, thus eliminating the nat.
ural gummy substance and the for
eign matter added for the purpose Of
spinning. The twelve ounces were
then brought to fourteen by the use
Of fannie acid, etc. To-day by the
substitution of tin, the twelve ounces
are raised to sixteen ounces, or even
| thirty ounces"
THE proportion of weighing Is
more than that in black silk said a
manufactures to whom this statement
was submitted. Frequently only one
fourth of the woven material is real
silk; the other three parts are tin and
dye"
ANY woman can test for herself
whether the silk she is buying is tin
weighted. Let her hold some threads
in flame, and the genuine will leave
an ash resembling that Of wool when
burned, with no traces of filament,
while the tin weighted simply loses
it's color and tenacity, each thread re-
naming distinct in thin wire gauze.

"unto How Many"

Unto how many men each hour
FraiI little fingers seek to bring
Some gentle gift, some flower
That is the souls best offeringl
Some happiness which we despise,
Some boon we toss aside forever
And only that our selfish eyes
May smile one minute on the giver.
How many of us count or treasure
The little lives that perish thus
To garner US moments pleasure,
A moments space to comfort us?
Blind, ever blind, we front the sun
And cannot see the angels near us,
Forget the tender duties done
BY willing slaves to help and cheer Us
Earth and its fullness, all the fair
Creations OF this heaven and air,
All lives that die that we may live,
All gifts of service we pass by;
All blessings love hath power to give
We scorn, o God, or we deny!
