FROM SCIENTIFIC SOURCES.

The electric waves measured by Hertz
and named after him-were found by
the great scientist to be $50 feet from
the top OF one wave to the top of the
next. The waves used by Marconi in
telegraphing across the Atlantic are
much longer; in fact, they are 600 feet
or more. They travel at the same speed
as light-the incredible and almost in
conceivable rate of $4,000 miles per
second. But the light wave measures
only few millionths of an inch.
Mr.. r. A. Farmer, Of the United
states geological survey, has left Sacra-
mento, CAL, upon a mission that may es-
tablish, in accordance with scientific re-
Quirements, the exact height of Mount
Whitney and also the lowest point in the
United States. Mount Whitney is gem
orally believed to be about 1880 feet
In height, while the surface of Death
valley, popularity supposed to be the
lowest in the country, has been esti-
mated at from 100 to 500 feet below the
level Of the sea. The expedition will be
Q hazardous one.
Darwin admitted that the pursuit of
science destroyed his love of art, but
Ernst Haecliel, who is one of the great
est living scientists; is also an artist OF
marked ability. Though Haeckel has
devoted long and Industrious life to
biological researches, he has found
leisure to do hundreds of paintings, and
many of his monographs on biology,
which are scientific classics are illus
trated with his own pictures in color.
During four months visit to India for
scientific study he brought back some
200 fair-siZed water colors.
1t is difficult to conceive of the condi-
lions where canned goods need be con-
sumed without preparation by use of a
fire, but evidently such circumstances
do exist, as several arrangements for
chemically heating canned goods are
being applied practically in Germany.
In one case the heat is derived from So
called hard spirit contained in a re-
ceptacle attached to the can, and in an
other by allowing water containing a
little acetic acid to act upon unslaked
lime, which ingredients are also con-
tanned in receptacles attached to the
can.

CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth
er's milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs-
ing their babes. The experience of a
Kansas City mother Is case in point:
Il was a great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought I could not eat a
meal without it. But found at last
1t was doing me harm. For years
had been troubled with dizziness, spots
before my eyes and pain in my heart,
to which was added, two years ago, a
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born months ago, and almost from
the beginning, it, too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking it from
me!
I'm my distress consulted a friend
of more experience than mine, and she
told me to quit coffee, that coffee did
not make good milk, have since ascer-
tanned that it really dries up the milk.
$50. quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then turned to Postum Cot
fee with the happiest results II
proved to be the very thing / needed
1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself, but it increased the flow
of my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickly got
well of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled. I no longer sui.

Postum has cured them.

drink we have ever used. We would

A stranger in strange land he was,
this youth aimlessly wandering the
streets of the great city. His gar
ments were ill-ftting and coarse. His
large, red hands hung awkwardly at
his side. Two inches of his wrists
showed below his coat sleeve. His
trousers bagged frightfully at the
knees and his heavy pillow shoes were
strangers to polish. But his face was
tumn fields.
A healthy tan covered his features,
but in his large blue eyes a sadness
fingered. He glanced into a thousand
faces and saw not one he knew. He
was jostled by the passing throng, but
no friendly hand grasped his. He was
weary with his tramping and hungry
for the sound of familiar voice.
Plainly he was from the country. In
his eyes there seemed to slumber the
glitter of the sunlight on the rippies of
brook, and his freckled face seemed
dappled with the shadows sweeping
over meadows clover-covered. Around
his worn and faded garments there
seemed to cling the wild fragrance of
the cornfields far outstretching and
the sweeter, subtle perfume of the
tangled, nodding grasses.
His movements were slow and I'M
graceful, but his shoulders were broad
and his muscles hard as steel.
Neither tramp nor beggar was Rob-
ert Lane, but in his pockets there was
| not penny. A light luncheon he had
eaten, but he knew not from whence
his dinner was to come.
He was searching for work-search-
ing in strange and unfamiliar places.
Few could husk more corn or bind
more grain in day than he, but he
was of small value in the busy marts
of trade.
He had cut adrift from his quiet,
amid the whirlpools of the metropolis,
lured by wrong impressions, by mis-
guided hopes.
And so it was not strange that his
heart was heavy and his eyes dim with
| unshed tears. Ever before him was
| a picture of the sweet-faced girl wait
ing for him in the neat white farm
house in the Iowa hills.
He had meant to make her so proud
of him. He had meant to work and
economic; to save and to prosper, and
then return to the old farm and her
and bring her back with him to the city
and dress her in fine clothes.
He remembered how she smiled up
into his face as they stood beside the
river that last night they were to-
gether; he remembered how tenderly
she placed her hand upon his shoul-
der; he remembered how softly the
starlight glimmered on the smooth
surface of the water; how distinctly

1t may be imagined with what breath
less interest 1 listened to Mr.. Mont
gomery's story, for it is almost needless
to remark that in Judith Stokes and her
father l recognized the Rev. Mr.. Porter
and his daughter. The events related
could not have occurred very long before
was sent as a little child to Tsber-
nacle House. But this early connection
of Judith with Mr.. Rodwell was some
what puzzling, for 1 had never seen
him come to the house farther back than
about eighteen months before l left it.
Once, while the narration was proceed
ing, / debated within myself whether l
should inform Mr.. Montgomery of the
identity of "BilF' Stokes with my late
master; but for various and obvious rea-
sons l decided in the negative.
But another was not so reticent. At
the mention of the red hair and the
strange eyes of the girl, l saw Josiah's
face assume an expression of more live
" interest, which gradually increased as
the narrator proceeded to describe Mr..
Stokes love of open air preaching. He
dared not hazard a remark until the
story was ended, as Mr.. Montgomery,s
wrath was thing not to be disregard
ed. But the instant the last words were
spoken, Jusiah burst out:
"Ill forfeit my life, Professor. ii l
don't know where to lay my hands upon
him this moment!"
What! Bill Stokes and his daugh-
terY'

stubby black hair, a large mouth, nose
