EUROPEAN TELEPHONE GIRLS
Are Very Leisurely in Their Ways
and Not Easily Moved to
Exertion.

A London correspondent who has 1
London-Paris-Milan wire in his room
writes that in his opinion the telephone
girl is not quite an angel. He finds,
says the Rome Secolo, the London tel
ephone girl slow and Indifferent, the
French intractable and impertinent.
When the Whitaker Wright trial was
proceeding he found himself late with
some news and rushed to the telephone.
Absolute silence followed his frantic
ringing. until he almost pulled the tele-
phone from the wall. After 20 minutes
or SO sweet voice said: Number,
please?" But" he protested, IT have
been ringing for half an hour!" "Oh.
really! l am sorry. Twas drinking my
teal"
In Paris the girls are absent minded
and usually make the connections badly,
but have invariably an excuse and will
not hear remonstrances.
The Italian telephone girl by the side
of her London and Paris sisters shines
indeed. She is Obliged to repeat the
number wanted and so seldom makes
wrong connection, she is prompt and
not exceptionally pert, but she is lazy
and will often tell you that the person
you want does not reply when she has
made no effort to ring him up.

crate hundreds of millions of pocket
size instruments that can be set up
anywhere on ocean, mountain, or des-

THEORIES ABOUT THE SUN


The current theories concerning the
sun and the planets are that the sun was
once vastly hotter than 1t Is now, and
that for long period 1t has been slowly
but steadily cooling. The doctrine is
built on the notion that the sun Is mass
of fire in progress of intense and fierce
combustion, and that, like any other
fire, unless its fuel Is replenished, it
must burn out and become extinguished.
Some astronomers teach that the sun
is supplied with fuel by vast quantities
of comets and meteors that are shoveled
into it by some process Of nature, but
other astronomers like Sir Robert Hall
reject the possibility of any such sys-
tematic supply of fuel, and they believe
that the sun as it burns out shrinks in
size at the rate of 220 feet OF it's diame-
ter in year. AS the mass of the sun is
something like $50. 900 miles in diameter.
1t is calculated still to last for good long
time, but there is something extremely
melancholy and saddening in the idea
that our grand luminary will one day.
burn out with q spasmodic gleam and
whiff of ill-smelling smoke like the snuff
of candle.
1t is with great satisfaction that We
are allowed to believe in the possibility
that the sun is made of radium, and that
it can continue to give on heat and light
for an inconceiyable lapse Of ages with
out being In the least diminished either
In size or capacity to warm and iIlun:-
mate us. The idea that it is not losing
220 feet of its diameter yearly is particu-
larly consoling.
There is another suggestion which
would enable our solar system to con-
tinue its 0oeratfons without either suf.
fering an instantaneous conliagration
or being consumed by slow combustion,
and this is that the sun and various
bodies which revolve around 1t constl-
tute an electric dynamo and an incan-
descent lamp on such scale as could be
designed and created by combined om-
niscience and cmnipotence, to 20 on lie
benehcent course forever Such notion
meets only the contempt Of science.
which insists upon the existence of
actual fire in the sun. that must sooner
or later burn itself out to complete ex-
tinguishment. Until, however. astron-
omers like Prof. Langley shall make q
flying machine without balloon attach
ment that will enable human beings to
fly. their yagaries concerning the play
ing out of the sun may well be neglected
by all except full-fedged scientists.

RADIUM HAS TRADE VALUE.
Experiments Bring Discovery That
Diamond Becomes Graphite
Under Its Rays.

In the course of some experiments
concerning the effect of the emanations
from radium upon diamonds. Sir Will
liam Crookes made curious discoy-
cry. When diamond was placed in
the path of the radiations it was con-
verted from the carbon crystal into
the common form of graphite, while in
addition its color was quite changed.
As result of this strange metamor-
phosis Sir William Crookes suggests
that the radiam rays may prove of
great commercial value to the jeweler
since by this means diamonds which
are of Indifferent and defective color
may be appreciably increased in their
value by treatment under
the radium rays. He also observed
that prolonged action of the radium
also increased the intensity Of the pale
colored gems.
