ticles. but also for the beauty of the
materials used. 1t is said that the Sc
cret of the composition OF some of their
alloys Of brass and copper has only
lately been revealed. The finest Japa-
nese brass. called sinchu, consists Of
ten parts Of copper and five OF zinc.
Another very beautiful alloy, named
shadko. to which splendid hues are i'm

formed by mixing gold and copper, the
proportion Of gold varying from l to
10 per cent of the entire mass.

First Discovery Of Sun Spot..

The first recorded discovery Of u sun
spot was by Fabricus in 1910. Later
Lord lIerschel decided hat these spots
were breaks in the photospheric clouds
surrounding the sun and that these
holes varied from mere pores 100
miles across to enormous chasms 49,
600 to 10000 miles In diameter. The
largest on record, measured Feb. 2,
1902. was 10000 by $4,000 miles in
area and covered one-twenticth Of the

The Second
Hague Peace
Conference.

HE second peace conference at
The Hague is spoken of in diff
ferent terms from those EN-.
ployed when the first confer
ence met in 1899 on the call issued by
the Russian emperor. At that time the
project of holding such a conference
was looked upon as one might view Il
movement for ushering in the millen-
mum. Most people then thought that
not until the millennium arrived would
the era Of peace between the nations
be in sight. But. though there have
been two dreadful wars since the meet
ing Of that conference and though the
leading powers of the world still main
tain large military and naval arma-
ments. there yet Is a feeling that uni
versal peace Is not SC fax away after
all and that the peace conferences are
really doing something to hasten its
approach. This is because something
practical in this direction has been ac-
complished. A permanent peace tri.
bunal or court Of arbitration was es-
tablished by the first conference. and
to 1t important international questions
involving disputes that might have led
to war have been referred. Among
these were the dispute between Mexi-
co and the United States over the pay
ment of moneys to the Roman Catholic
church in California by the Mexican
government, which was amicably ad
justed through The Hague court Of ar
bitration. and the Venezuelan case, in
which European powers had threaten
ed to use force in the collection OF
debts. This was satisfactorily settled
by The Hague court, arbitrators being
appointed by It whose decisions were
accepted. The rules laid down Mt The
Hague for the conduct OF negotiations
looking to settlement Of international
disputes have been Of value already.

Mrs. Bowser had received a letter
iron her mother stating that she would
arrive on a certain date and by a GER
tain train for a brief visit-just long
enough to straighten Mr.. Bowser out
and make him understand who was
boss of the roost. Not Il word had
been said to Mr.. Bowser about the let
ter. On various occasions, when told
that the mOther-in-law was to arrive,
he has expressed his opinion of the
brand" in language both forcible anG
jagged. How he discovered that the
e was coming off will always be
bis secret, but discover it he did. In

at the usual hour he was twenty min.

was the salutation that greeted her as

and almost whispered the words:

Then what are you here for?"

lie mOtler-in-law looked again and
again to see if she was mistaken in the
man. He was a short man. He was q
fat man. He was a haldheaded man.
Yes. it was Mr.. Bowser. but what sort
OF a game was he playing? After she
had been riding five minutes a sudden
suspicion came to her. and she wheeled
on him and said:
samuel Bowser, don't think you ran
drive me off to some lonely spot and
have me murdered! III fight for my
life to the last gasp"
Mr.. Bowser roared with laughter,
and then taking her hand he replied:
why. mother, what put such an
idea into your head? Instead Of want
ing to murder you l want to give you
the best visit you ever had at nv
house. You will find chicken potpie
and all your favorite dishes for din
ner."
But you call me mother"
"And why shouldn't II"
She didn't know. She knew that he
had called her "old bulldozer," that
old woman" that she WOLF" and other
things In the past, and that of a sudden
an awful change must have come over
him. 1t was he, but she couldn't be-
lieve 1t was him. Her relief was great
when the carriage stopped at last in
front OF he house. To the very last
minute she had expected to be alb
Quoted or blown up. Her very first
words to Mrs. Bowser were:
Sarah. has Samuel gone crazy or
an%ything;"
"Why, no. mother. What makes you
think such n thing:"
Met Her at the Depot
"ue-he met me at the depot"
II didn't know that he was going to,
but l am very glad of it,"
"IIe-he called me mother"

And he-he had Il carriage"
"Just as it should be-"
But 1t isn't like him. Sarah--it isn't
a bit like him. Think how many times
he has let me come alone on q street

welcomed me here with only a sneer

During the dinner Mr.. Rowser was
eolicitouS. He was also full Of good
cheer and lively conversation. Even
Mrs. RowSer. who knew his every &c.
centricity. was surprised. The mother
in-law drank her tea and wondered II
1t had been >lyly poisoned. She ate Of
the potpie and wondered if she would
be found dead in the morning Mr..
Rowser told jokes and made her laugh.
But she WIS on her guard just the
