he struck it amidships. There was
rattle of broken glass a few hurried

explained to his audience that he

Almost $1,000 in cash given the em-

out the Christmas custom of tie past FIVE or six
years in giving the men FIVE per cent Of the
gross sum paid in wages during the year.
About eighty men have been in the employ
of the company for year, and are thus enti-
tied to dividend of about $33 each.
new plan, intended to perpetuate the idea
of Zone ness which applies to this firm, is the
setting aside of $4,000 in stock of the COM
pany. Mayor Jones guarantees that it is worth
not less than par, and it is to be known as the
"Golden Rule Trust" He says:
'In addition to the five per cent, we set
aside 100 shares of the stock of the company
at par value of 500, the dividends of which
are to be credited to the Golden Rule Trust,
this trust Icing represented by seven trustees,
elected by the workingmen and members of the
company, who have been associated with it a
year or more, who are to be the owners of the
property"
It is understood that the entire business will,
in time, be turned over to the employees.

Roosevelt, which no one will fail to recognize.
1t says OF the postofice Investigations:
"The amazing attitude Of the President,

upon the ground that it is necessary for the
Attorney General to review it. is subjecting the
President to severe criticism. He has made it
clear ever since he came to Washington that he

WONDERS OF ASTRONOMY.
Why We Have Winter When Earth is Nearest
the Sun.

Copyright, 1903. by w. X. Hearst.
Meeting friend who was shivering in an
icy wind the other day, said to him:
eve are about three million miles nearer the
sun than we were last July"
"The deuce swe are!'' he replied. "Then
why in thunder is it so coldt Is the sun going
out?"
'Not at all; and if you will moderate your
expressions and come in by the fire, I'll explain
the paradox. But you ought to know the
reason without being told"
81 used to know, believe" he returned,
"but I've forgotten all about it, and I never
quite understood it, anyhow"
made little drawing, after we were seated
before the Fireplace, to illustrate the fact that
the ea:th can be nearer by 5000, 900 miles to
the sun, and yet so much colder over half its
surface; that winter takes the place of summer
in spite of the approach OF the great orb that
furnishes all Of the heat
"You must know, in the first place" said,
"that it is not the nearness of the sun alone
that causes great degree of heat to be felt on
the earth.
"Much also depends upon the angle, or slope,
at which the suns heat falls upon the earth's
surface. The reason it is hot at the equator is
because there tine sun is always overhead, and
its rays descend at all times nearly vertically
upon the earth; and the reason it is cold near
the poles is because there the sun is never over
head, and its rays always strike the ground
very slopingly, or at low angle.
"You can try a little experiment right here
by the fire, which will convince you tnat heat
rays that fall perpendicularly on surface warm
it more than do those that fall slopingly.
"Hold your hand in front OF the fireplace,
with the palm square to the FIRE, and then in
cline it so that it leans away from the fire, and
you will perceive in moment remarkable
difference in the heating effect.

they have their greatest effect, and vice versa.
1.-THE next thing to consider is the fact that,
owing to remarkable principle in mechanics
which you can see in operation in a spinning
top or in gyroscope-the axis around which
the earth revolves points in the same absolute
direction, no matter where the earth may be in
its yearly revolution about the sun. Now, this
axis is inclined about 23H degrees to the plane
of the earth's orbit, or, what is the same thing
for our purposes, to the direction of the sun.
'Since, as have just said, the axis remains
fixed in position, il follows that while the earth
is going around the sun, one end OF the axis
(say the north end of the north pole, as we call
it) will be inclined toward the sun at one time
Of the year and away from the sun at just the
oppsite time of the year.
