LIGHT FASTER THAN SOUND.

About a thousand yards from the window where I sit is a factory which blows it's whistle every noon. The steam always comes from the whistle some little time before the sound is heard. Yesterday I counted three sec onds between the time wken the first steam was seen and when tne sound of the whistle was heard. The whistle is heard when the weather is foggy or clear, hot or cold, windy or calm. It is sometimes louder than at other times, but it always takes three seconds to travel the 5000 feet from the factory to my house.
 We often hear lso an echo of the whistle, which comes two seconds lter than the first sound This is the same sound coming by a roundabout journey 50000 feet long. Ii travels first 1000 feet to a hill beyond, and then is sent back 4,000 feet to our house.
 A few days ago I heard a band of musicians playing upon the streets, and although they werer far distant from me, the high tones of the piccole and
 the low tones of the bss horn reached me eactly together, showing that high and low tones travel at the same speed.
 During a recent thunder storm l no- ticed a flash of lighting, and counted 10 seconds before the sound of the thunder was heard This showed me that the storm was about 10000 feet for about two miIes) away A little later, however, the time between the lighting and the thunder began to grow less, and the noise of the thunder became louder, which showed that the storm was getting nearer. Finally a dazzling flash of lighting was followed im- mediately by a deafening crash of thunder, and at tte same time the shingles flew from patch of roof on a barn near by. It had been struck by lightning, and was soon in flames. Nature and Science, in St Nicholas

ONE PHASE OF RACE QUESTION.

CNE ThASE UT RANE gu ESI1ON.
 Three years ago last January, as newspaper staff correspondent, I ar rived at the town of Indianoia. Miss. and inquired for direction to the resi- dence of Mrs. Cox.
 "Missus who?" asked the white man whom I had made the request.
 t'Afrs Cox, the ce,ored woman who vas your postmistress before the persi- dent closed the post office.'
 Look here. young man. said the Mississippian, not unkindly, femme give you some good advice. When you talk about nigger in this State you don't want to hitch no mister or missus' onto the name. reckon its Minnie Cox you're lookin fur, ain't it |"
 Tt is,'' I admitted.
 Well. she ain't Missus Cox to any body down here; she's just plain Min nie. s long as she was postmaster and we'd go into the post office we'd say: Minnie. is the any mail for us?' If you don't want to git unpopular right off. I'd advise you to call her Minnie Cox when you're talkin' to any Indian ola folks
 This was one of my limitations to the race problem as it stands in the sunny South. I learned in Indianola that, no matter how respectable, reputable, and praiseworthy a negro may be, he never becomes sufficiently respectable to win the title of "Mr' from the lips of the white people. Mrs. Cox was known to all only by her given name; nd her husband, likewise 8 negro of education and property, was known only by his given name. The Coxes lived in 8 handsome cottage which they owned. The house contained books and maga- zines, which they read. But they were merely Minnie and "Jeff'' to all the whites in the region round about; and it was the fact that Minnie" was a negress, and not by reason of any mo- ton of her incompetency as post mistress, that the famous "Indianola incident" came about, involving the suspension of the towns post office for more than year. Everybody of whom made inquiries in Indianola assured me that Minnie Cox was an excellent postmistress properly obliging, and all that.-Leslie's Weekly.

THE LEVEL, OF EXPENSE. |"

A new catch phrase has been coined which should be as popular as the simple life' or the new thought, This phrase is the level of expense. It re- presents that keeping of ones ex- penditures of all kinds in a correct ratio one to the other The woman who has ascertained her proper level of expense will not be paying an in- ordinately high rent, as compared with her income, merely for the sake of a good locality. She will not purchase a velvet gown and sable furs, even though he has the money to pay fer them, because those things do not ac- cord with her house, her furniture and her usual style of dress. Sha has found a way to proportion her income so that all she has does may seem in keeping. There is in this a wisdom which the student of domestic economy will do well to ponder over.
 One of the most usual inequalities to be observed in the American home is that of clothes and the table. Many families will strain a point to garh themselves in the most ,eXtravagant of apparel, though they will live on fare so meager that they would mot invite 8 friend to partake of it. Then, on the other hand. there are people who spend quantities of money on imported groceries. choice meats and fine wines who go out looking positively shabby. Neither of these have found the proper level of expense. There are those who love to be known as lavish entertainers, and who extend beauti- ful and costly hospitality much more widely than is demanded of them by ordinary social custom, yet their private tables will be poor, often inadequate to the real needs of the appetite. These are follies which have no real excuse.
 AS for personal expenses, women must plan for themselves how to make them approximately equal. The eter- nal fitness of things plays large part in helping us to keep our own level of expenses since 1t will tell us that fine

MOURNING SHOES

Shoes have been specialized for a hundred and one purposes, walking, dancing, yachting, golffing, house, bou- doir and. opera wear and many other uses, but shoes especially for those in mourning are a variety of footwear that only a few manufacturers would think of producing. Such shoes are made in Lynn, and one firm shows them among It's staple samples.
 The mourning shoe consists of a dead luster black leather, made up on a stylish last, and ornanented with n1ournfullooking black ribbons and beads. That 1t is a very proper shoe among society women is shown by al

the lieutenant shouted below to change eourse-as to clear our vessel, as I allow-the man at the wheel must have spun his helm hard over. The boat came curving round in a hiss of whie froth. and began instantly to heel over. You must have noticed that if the helm of a steam launch or any high speed small craft is suddenly jammed over. it will throw her broad on her side. I have several times seen naval picket boats almost capSiZed in Plymouth Sound by this same cause.
 Well, as I say, the submarine came swervtng round in way that brought my heart into my throat. The lieu tenant saw what was going to happen: never a doubt of it I heard him roar out In a startled voice. 'D--n it. man, what are you doing? You'll have us all .over!' Then, a second later, a voice that sounded as shriil as a woman's, shrieked out. 'Oh. she's gone!
 'The submarine rolled right over. until her cone was flat on the water, and her bow rose up till we could see
 the stem. The four men were simply flung off her deck as she went rear
 ing on; then there came a strange, sohbing sound, and all of sudden she had vanished. You may believe that every word I am telling you is Heavens truth when I say that the submarine was no more than fifteen yards away from our port quarter when she disappeared. They say there 1 was an explosion as she went down.
 There may have been; but all I can l tell you is that neither I nor my two
 mates saw or heard anything If the | kind. It was a shocking inh the | suddenness of 1t; one instant a big gieamtng boat buzzing through a race of foam, the next a blank sea with four men struggling in it.

shake their devotion to it. To the casual observer it might seem strange that women, who are often so fickle about styles, should cling to this one particular style as they have now for years. but it is not strange when one understands that it is one method of hairdressing which is becoming to all women.
 Whether the face be narrow or wide. long or short, whether the fea- lures be regular or irregular. the pom padour looks well over the face. That is the secret of its long continued popularity that has prevailed for ten years. whereas 1t is seldom that any other style has prevailed over the length of single season.

SINKING OF A SUBMARINE.
EYEWITNESS STORY OF THE
 A s'' DISASTER.

says He Saw or Heard No ExpIOsiOn--
 Graft Thrown Broad on Her Side and
 capslzed by Sudden Jnmmins Over of
 HeIm-How Four Men were Rescued
 The Plymouth trawler Chanticleer, the crew of which rescued the four survivors of the recent submarine dis aster, has returned from her fishing cruise, having been absent since the work of rescue was so admirably car ried out. The crew consists of the mas ter, Richard Johns, and the two deck hands, Edward Knox and James Phillips. In an interview at Plymouth with a representative of the London Standard the master gave his account of the disaster. It contains much that is both new and striking.
 When I first saw the submarines" said Mr. Johns. "the two of them were following the torpedo boat in a line on end, the three vessels being about a hundred fathoms apart. How fast they were going shouldn't like to say. but 1t was certainly at 8 high rate of speed The torpedo boat was kicking up a white smother under her counter, and the submarines were tearing through 1t irl a perfect sluice of foam.
 When I first took notice of these
 Aft they were heading away from us but very soon after this they took a long, sweeping curve, and thus came bearing down directly toward us. The torpedo boat went across our bows, and 50 did the first submarine, which had the figures "A 7' painted on her topside But we were going through the water all the time ourselves, and ] reckoned that If the second submarine tried to cross us in this fashion she would be cutting it rather too fine. was following the rule of the road by merely holding steadily to my own course. There were people on top of the cone or tower of each submarine, and allowed they had their eyes open and knew what they were about.
 There was lieutenant on the scene Of this sternmost submarine, No. A 8. could spot hirn by the two gold rings round his cuff. take 1t that he saw he could could not cross our bows, and AEN1QbN&E EU SO tO pass under our stern. Anyhow, he call ed down below. These boats, you must know, are steered by wheel placed down close under the coming tower. The helmsnlan cannot see where he is going, but can only obey instructions, The craft was 50 close to us at this moment that we could plainly hear the quick champing of her motor and the noise Of the water parted by the thrust of her hidden bow.
 We three men, who saw the acci- dent happen under our noses, are all agreed as to exactly how it came about. The submarine was going very fast, as have told you. She looked well trimmed, and was going along on R level keel, though perhaps just a litle deep, which am told was dut to her carrying a double crew. Whe
