HAIR THAT TURNS WHITE.
Sudden Loss of Color May Be Account
ed For by the Fact That It
Is Emotional"

Once in awhile we hear of per-
sons whose hair has "turned white
in a night" and we have wondered
why it was. This and other phe-
nomena may be accounted for by
the fact that hair is CONDITIONAL"
says the Chicago Journal.
Not only is emotional hair
we'll known to medical specialists,
but every hairdresser of expert
ence recognizes it frequently in
connection with his own custom
ers.
With some peculiarly consti-
tuted people the hair is affected
by every passing emotion, and
not only does it reach the extreme
The Newark journal. (Newark, Ark.) 1901-1959, 1904-12-02

crispness or Iimpness within a
very few hours, but it varies in
color vastly :.
This latter popularity is so well
recognized by every hair dresser
that some members of that calling
are prepared to say definitely of a
given regular customer: "Blank
is not well, or he has some great
trouble on his mind just now"
Many man who appears ex-
ceedingly gray ON one day is COM
paratively dark haired the next,
and cases are known where the
single white locks of hair that
sometimes are found on a head
otherwise wholly black have dis
appeared almost entirely and
then come again. That is to say,
the white tuft has gone black like
the surrounding hair, and has be-
come white again, and SO on.

TESTING CHRONOMETER.
Delicate Timepieces Kept on Ice for
Months for Accurate Ad-
justment..

Each year the thermometers of
the United States navy are sub.
iected to a test TO determine their
accuracy and to correct any irreg'
ularities. This operation COM
mences in January and usually
lasts until the middleo of June, and
during that time these delicate
timepieces are kept ON ice at the
United States nayal observatory.
1t is not for any fearthat they will
spoil that they are subjected to
this frigid experience. but it is nee
essary for the purpose of accurate
adjustment that they should all be
maintained in a constant temper
allure.
The necessity of having a ships
clocks all absolutely alike will be
realized by the layman when he is
reminded that an error of four sec
Onds in the chron0meter means an
error of mile in calculating the
vessels location. The tempera-
ture varies at different times of
the test from 50tu90 degrees and
the losing or gaining qualities Of
the chronometeF under these con-
ditions are accurately kept. Thus
with a chart expressing in curves
just what he may expect from his
thermometer under different CON
ditions of climate, and, with his
thermometer and barometer close
at hand, a sailing master may cal
culate to nicety the correct time
and get his location to certainty.

CHARACTER OF AN OATH.
Witness Thought It Was Like Note

Pay Debts.

One of the. lawmakers from far.

what constituted an OATH relates
the Washington Times.
Col Timmins, a one hOrse law
yer, had contracted debt which
it seemed he never iatended TO
liuqidate. Suit was Instituted on
the note. but the colonel swore the
note off. However,. the plaintiff
proved the debt and obtained
judgment. Not long after this the
colonel was interested in another
case in court, and was crosssques-
tioning one of the witnesses, Il gen
tleman who had been interested in
the colonePs case in the suit on the
note.
"Do you know the nature of an
OATH" asked the colonel.

ness.
"Then tell the Judge and jury
what it is"
"a oath is like a note-a lega'
tender with which some people try
to pay their debts"

Tor the night In strange place,
says the st. Paul Globe.
The story of how he formed this
habit came out one night several
years ago when a fellow traveller
beheld the general occupied in:
carefully tucking his foot cover
ing underneath the pillows of his
sleeping car berth.

habit" said the general in his
slow, easy-going way, mo mat

Il was in high spirits until l
awoke from fine nights slumber
and started to put on my boots.
To my horror they were not where
l had placed them, and though l.
searched for them high and low.
they were not to be found. Some
rascal had walked off with them
in the night and he had also helped
himself to my hat, as l discovered
later on.
Il was in a nire dilemma and
matters were helped only slightly
by the porter scurrying around
and finally raking up a pair of dir
lapidated rubbers and an old hat

the blocking of the Liao and also the de-
