Many persons cannot understand why
the shadow made BY an object In noon
light is darker than the shadow made
in sunlight The difference Is due to
the fact that the light Of the moon Is
not 80 strong as that of the sun. As
light travels always in straight line.
shadow, either In moonlight or In
sunlight, would be intensely black were
it not for the dispersed and reflected
rays around the shadow. The dark
ness Of the shadow is reduced by these
reflected rays. and as the rays Of sun
light are stronger and brighter than
those OF moonlight, they reduce the
darkness more. 1t is the dispersion
and even distribution Of the SUMS rayu
through space and their reflection from
the dust particles Of the air, that make

A Chinaznan wished to enter his boy
at the school Of a Scottish teacher in
Pekin, and called at the educational
establishment in question one day
along with his little boy. The follow
ing amusing scene then took place:
The Chinese gentleman was escorted
tn the reception room, and both he and
the teacher shook their own hands and
bowed profoundly. Then the teacher
asked:
MAY inquire your honorable
name?"
my mean, Insignificant name is
Wung."
Tea and a water pipe are sent for,
and the teacher politely suggests
"Please use tea"
The Chinese slipped and puffed for
perhaps a quarter Of an hour before he
observed to the teacher that he should
be overjoyed to learn the latter's "hon-
orable name"
This was the teachers cue to reply,
"My mean, Insignificant name is Jones"
"How many little stems have you
sproutedT This means, "How old are
your"
II have yainly spent thirty-two
years." modestly replied the instructor.

At this juncture the Chinaman deem

brought my little dog here and wor-
shipfully entrust him to your honorable
charge"
The little fellow, who had been
standing in the corner of the room,
came forward at this, put his hands
on the floor, and knocked his head
against 1t. The teacher raised him up
and sent him of to school, while ar
rangements were made for his sleep
ing quarters and so forth.

In Chicago.

The relations between employer and
employe were never so harmonious in
Chicago as now. In the past on May
there has always been some sort of
struggle going on between the labor
unions and the employers in Chicago,
bat this year there is scarcely a cloud
on the Industrial horizon.
Every union in the building in
dustry. with the exception of the struc-
tural iron workers, has renewed con-
tracts with employers, and the iron
workers expect to reach settlement
without a strike.

ONLY AFEW STRIKES
THIS SPRING BEST OF ALL FOR
INDUSTRIAL PEACE.
Work in Plenty-New York, Boston,
Pittsburg, st. Louis and Chicago
ExuIt-Every Building Trade Union
in Chicago Has Renewed Their Con-
tracts for Year, Except Iron Workers

The opening of the out-of-door con-
struction season finds New York, both
city and state, without a prospect of
serious labor troubles. In the building
trades especially prosperous and re
assuring conditions prevail There is a
large and well-met demand for both
skilled and unskilled labor, due to the
extensive private construction projects
now under way and the tunnels and
other undertakings of a public or semi
public nature. This contentment is
generally reflected in the manufactur,
ing and industrial centers and beyond
few localized and sporadic strikes
the labor situation is regarded as
brighter than for many years.

heart and consequently the circulation
OF the blood This stimulated action
OF the blood shows more plainly on
the face than on any other part Of the
body, because the nerye-system and the
blood-vessels Of the face are peculiarly
sensitive But alcohol also has a para
lying effect on the nerves and the
blood vessels, and its habitual use gets
those Of the face into such a condition
that they no longer perform their
proper functions That is to say, they
receive blood from the heart, but do
not send 1t back again, as they do
when they are In a normal state Of
health, the result being that the face
acquires chronic condition OF rednesa.

SALT lake STRIKE
sTREETCAR men WENT OUT
LAST SUNDAY MORNING.
Had Nearly Come TO an Agreement
With Manager Bancroft When an
Arbitration Clause Was Turned
Down by Him-Temporary Service
stopped.

Salt Lake, April pa strike was
declared ON the streetcar lines of the
Utah Light and Power Company Sun
day, 45O men walking out. Numerous
scenes of disorder followed attempts
made by the company during the morn
ing to operate few cars with non
union crews, and all efforts to main
tain even partial service were soon
abandoned.
The vote in favor of the strike was
unanimous, over 300 of the 450 motor
men and conductors employed by the
company casting their vote.
Announcement was in fact made on
Friday that arbitration had been
reached This followed several con-
ferences between Mayor Thompson
and committee of citizens on the
one side and President Bancroft of the
company on the other. Mayor Thomp-
son on Friday carried to the men as
surances that Mr.. Bancroft had
agreed to arbitrate the question now
and other matters later. This was
satisfactory to the men. But yester-
day, in a written communication to
Mayor Thompson, Mr.. Bancroft made
it plain that the company's attitude
had not changed namely, that it was
perfectly willing to arbitrate the
wage question at once, but could not
bind itself to arbitration of other and
future grievances, even the nature OF
which could not at present be fore
seen

Eggs Are Thrown.

The scenes of disorder that marked
the beginning of the strike took place
on Main street, between Brigham
street and South Second street.
The leaders of the demonstrations
against the men who were trying to
operate the cars were strike sympa-
thizers, mostly half-grown boys and
irresponsible men. The strikers,
themselves, took no part in the dis
turbances. Hundreds of people were
on the streets, but most of them were
spectators. The weapons used were
mostly eggs, and these were thrown
by dozens. The strike sympathizers
also cut trolley-pole ropes and in
some instances dragged the non
union motormen off the cars. The
police seemed powerless. An end to
the disturbances was accomplished
when a car marked ~. S. Mail" was
brought into action and towed the
other cars back to the barns. No
attempt was made to modest the mail
car. In spite of the liveliness of the
demonstrations against the nom
unionists no one was seriously hurt.
Joseph Jones, a special deputy
sheriff, received rougher treatment,
perhaps, than any one of those who
we're operating or guarding the cars.
He was surrounded by mob and
when he drew a pistol his weapon
was wrested from him. He was saved
from serious injury by the intervention
Of the police.
