THE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX.
When Day and Night are of EQUAL
Length-Cause of Storms.

A great many school children and a
considerable number of "grown-ups"
are much puzzled at this time OF year
by references made to the 'autumnal
equinox In some of the schools the
equinox is understandingly explained
by means of globes and charts.
On or about September q, from
midnight of that date to midnight Of
September %. and at a corresponding
time in March. the ecliptic or great
circle which the sun appears to de-
scribe in the heavens, in the course OF
the year, crosses the earth's equator.
The point Of intersection ia termed
the equinOctial point. or the equinox.
because at that period. from its posi-
ton in relation to the sun. the earth.
as II revOlves on its axis. has exactly
one-half Of its surface illuminated by
the suns rays. while the other half
remains In darkness. producing the
phenomenon Of equal day and night
all over the world.
At these two periods. termed. re-
spectively from the seasons In which
they occur. the autumnal and vernal
or spring equinox. the sun rises about
6 O'Clock in the morning and sets near
~ at that same hour in the evening.
In the autumnal equinox the sun il
passing from the north to south. and
consequently from this period the days
in the northern hemisphere gradually
shorten until on December q the
winter solstice Is reached. from which
period they gradually lengfhen TO the
spring equinox. on March q. when
day and night are again equal. The
sun then crosses the equator from
south 70 north. and the DAYS continue
In lenathen up 10 June 81. the summer
soistice. from which they diminish and
are again equal with the nights at the
autumnal equinox on September q.
As is well known. both the autumn
nal and spring equinoxes arc distfn-
suished over the world by the storms
which prevail at these seasons. The

good stock. This is especially true for
white oak, since the maker Of tight
cooperage must often refuse stock
which furniture maker would con-
slider first class material. Two factors
have contributed to bring about this
condition-first, the increase in the
cooperage manufacture, which has de-
veloped enormously in the past quar-
ter century: and second, the extremely
wasteful methods employed in cutting,
which have left the forest in a deplor-
able condition, and often wasted more
material than was used. Cutting for
cooperage purposes is far more waste
full than is ordinary numbering. The
forest service in taking up this ques-
ton aims to make its Investigations
of practical value to the cooperage in
dustry and its operators. 1t is plan
ned to bring together information re-
garding the supply of raw material,
and the best methods of manufacture,
and the i'll effects of wasteful meth
DDS on the forest and possible rene
dies for them. Particular attention
will also be given to a study of the
properties of woods. with the view of
recommending substitutes which are
more abundant than the species now
used for cooperage.

ROOTS OUTING ENDS
Important Conference at Sag
amore Hill.
TALKED OVER AGOOD MANY THINGS"
Secretary of State, Senator Lodge
and Former Ambassador Choate
With the President, Who is
Preparing Message.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Sept. 21.-A
conference of importance was held
last night at Sycamore Hill, the partici-
pants being President Roosevelt, Elihu
Root, secretary of state; Henry Cabot
Lodge, senior United States senator
from Massachusetts, and Joseph H.
| Choate, former ambassador to Great
| Britain.
George B. Cortelyou, postmaster
general, was also of the party.
1t is said they discussed the attitude
the administration should take toward
the illegal contributions of corpora
tons in political campaigns. and it is
declared that President Roosevelt be-
lieves that to avoid a far reaching
scandal the $4,000 collected from the
New York Life in the last campaign
should be restored.
Only recently the secretary returned
from an extended trip to Labrador,
where he went with his friend, Colonel
Cary Sanger, on fishing excursion.
Since his return he has been complet-
ing his arrangements for assuming ac-
lively the duties of secretary of state.
Secretary Root, Senator Lodge and
Mr.. Choate arrived here together last
evening by the 5:S9 train.
What is the news here? really
know nothing worth publishing" said
Secretary Root as he shook hands with
his newspaper friends. II have just
returned from Labrador, you know,
and am not supposed yet to be the re-
pository of many state secrets"
In response to inquiries the secretary
said he expected to go to Washington
about the LIST of October and until then
would not undertake in the full accept
ance of the term the duties of his Of
flee. He did not care to discuss the OBJ
ject of his visit to the president at this
time further than to say they probably
would talk over a good many things"
1t is said that among other topics of
discussion the recent developments In
the investigation of the conduct of the
life insurance companies received an
important share of attention at the
conference. All the visitors are more
or less familiar with the insurance sit
uation, and as the president expects to
take up that subject in his forthcoming
annual message to congress, in the
preparation of which he now is en-
gagged, 1t is quite natural that he
should wish to consult his close friends
and advisers about the matter.
All four of the visitors remain as
guests of the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt today.

The matter Of pens and writing pa
per, of typewriters and a number of
other things showed startling misuse
Of funds when threshed out before
the committee now making investiga-
tons at Washington. The commission
did not go into the prices paid at the
stationery room at the capitol. If it
had there would have been some inter-
esting revelations, for there the gov
eminent goes in for high grade sta
tionary, pen knives and many things
such as sachets and reticules which
congressman are hardly supposed to
use. They are all charged up to the
government, however, and come in
handy for the wives Of congressman
and senators. There is another great
source of waste in all the depart
ments, too. 1t is esteemed no crime
TO steal stationery from the govern
ment and there is hardly a govern
ment clerk in the city who ever spends
a penny for pens. ink, paper, lead pen
ellis and the Ike for home use or for
his children at school Some Of the
users Of this sort Of stolen goods have
the grace to cut of the names Of their
department from the letter heads be
fore they are dedicated to private Use.
but there are a remarkable lot Of
school exercises. compositions and eL-
animation papers that are turned in TO
the school teachers there with De
partment Of the Interior, War Depart
ment and Department Of Agriculture
and Geological Survey still on them.
and the very exercises themselves are
written with government pencils and
corrected with government erasers.
IS a nice town to live in
a great many respects II you work for
the government.

PAPER MILK BOTTLES NOW
Our Mountain Forests to Furnish
Pulp for the Making Of Reoep-
tacles for the Milk Dealer.

Another raid has been organized on
our mountain forests, states the
Brooklyn Eagle As If the pulp
mills were not already devastating the
hillsides and drying up our water sup
ply rapidly enough, genius in Phila-
delphia has patented paper milk bottle,
and has ten machines which can
manufacture 10000 of these bottles each
in day. The paper milk bottle is to be
made from spruce pulp and spruces
grow at the top of the mountains, the
very sources of our streams. The argu-
ment for the paper milk bottle is that
as each bottle will be used but once the
milk will run less danger of contamina-
ton from germs In glass bottles, which
may or may not be washed clean after
using. No doubt there are chances for
germs In the glass bottles in every day
use, although in comparison with the
lack of cleanliness of the ordinary dair-
les from which milk comes Directing to
the reuse Of milk bottles is like the
Scriptural straining at gnat and swal-
lowing camel. The sides of the paper
milk bottle are to be held together with
glue, and glue has as many possibilities
of infection as would come from hastily
washed bottles.
The fact is that the Philadelphia man
probably believes that he can make pa
per bottles cheaply enough to replace
the glass ones and that he merely uses
hygienic arguments to bolster up pusl-
ness proposition. This is the age of pa
per as unmistakable as other ages were
of bronze or gold. The making use of
paper pulp are being extended contin-
ually and the addition of milk bottles
would be only one item of increase in the
consumption. As long as newspapers
continue to grow In popularity new ma
terials for paper will have to be found.
The use of wood pulp has gone far
enough to show the urgent necessity of
far-reaching and effective plan for re-
foresting hillsides stripped to feed pulp
mills.

One Of the surprises of the present
political campaign is the announce.
ment that Mayor Elton will not be a
candidate for the Office again, and yet
the mayor is willing to take and has
in fact taken the nomination for a
place in the aldermanic chamber.
There is a colored man in the wood
pile surely, and democrats must look
sharp for their g. o. p. friends have
some scheme in the incubator. Per-
haps the mayor feared defeat as the
mayoralty candidate, something which
will hardly happen in his race for al
dermanic honors, although one never
can tell what is in store for a politi-
cal candidate. The mayor received at
least forty pastors at the primaries
last Tuesday. If the voters of his own
party keep up this percentage of pas
tiers on election day, the mayor will!
probably find himself outside the
breastworks. Perhaps this feeling will
not be carried to the polls, but a few
good citizens who have been dumped
because they dared talk and act for
the good of the people, regardless of
politics, are not pleased with the very
summary manner in which they have
been shelved. At any rate, If the may
or wins out, he will have nearly as
much work to perform and his time
will be monopolized, If he attends
strictly to business, as it was during
the past two years. The mayor must
be changing positions for a purpose.
