Window Glass Her Test.


Some people study the architecture
of the houses under construction, or
comment on the building material en-
ployed," said the woman. That's all
very well, and try to appreciate these
things, too, but somehow, cant get
my mind off one detail concerning new
buildings. l always look at the kind
of glass put in.
1.-THE windows in a house seem to
me to indicate whether the building
is cheaply put up or the reverse. II
the glass is of good quality-it needn't
be plate, though that, of course, is the
supreme mark know that pretty
much everything regarding the struc-
ture is intended to be first class. Poor
glass, on the other hand, inspires me
with suspicion. feel that with such
an advertisement everything within
and without are apt to be shoddy, at
least, have my doubts until con-
WINGED otherwise.

Iornla lasJ year, suffered very pain
full and remarkable accident at Red
Bluff.
She remained suspended until, on
account of her weight, the hair that
was entangled in the tree tore away
from the scalp and then she fell un-
conscious to the ground. Her injuries,
though they cause much suffering, are
not dangerous. With party of
friends at Red Bluff she rode a few
miles down the river to a picnic trip
the other day. At the side of the
river, where the horse made sudden
rush down the embankment, she was
thrown from the animals back and
her hair caught in the tree branch.
Before aid could reach her the hair
and scalp had given way and she had
fallen to the ground.

WEATHER MOVES IN CYCLES.
Period of IS Years Figured out by
Some Scientists.

In 1913 the weather will be as It
was in 1873 or whereabouts. Prof E.
a. Gregory, of Queens college. Lon
don, notes that the cycle of 35 years
shown by solar phenomena cores
ponds exactly with a cycle of wealth
er changes on this earth of ours.
Prof. q. Bruckner discovered some
few years ago that there is a periodic
variation in climate over the whole
earth, the average length being about
35 years. No matter what weather
observations are examined, in the trop-
les or in polar regions, a variation in
a cycle of 35 years can be detected in
them.
Rainfall, pressure and tempera-
ture, the movement of glaciers, fre-
quency of severe winters, or the
height of rivers, lakes or inland seas,
all vary year by year. But neglecting
individual years, it is found that the
conditions for about II years are be-
low the average, while for the next
IL years they are above the average.
Taking several years together, it is

than usual until about the year 1918,
just as it was 35 years ago-in the
seventies Of the last century. On the
average we may expect that during
the next ten years the pressure will
be below the normal and the rainfall
will be above the normal
Here, then, is clew to welI-mark-
ed circle of change in terrestrial and
solar meterology. 1t is a cycle of

In period of a little more than II
years spots upon the sun wax and
wane in number and extent. This IL
year period is of definite character.
The magnetic conditions of the earth
vary in precisely the same cycle. At
the present time the sun is in a condi-
ton of maximum activity.

TO RIDE OR NOT TO RIDE.
london Undecided Whether Ii Is Good
Form to Use Motor Cab.

1t has not been decided whether it
is good form or bad to use the motor
cab. Such a decision does not matter
one atom, but the verdict will have to
come.
The penny bus and the twopenny
tube are, of course, quite smart, but
that must be because the bishops have
been said, made the fortune of the
hanson when he called it the gondola
Of London.
Yet the duchess of Cleveland never
thought the late Lord Salisbury quite
respectable, because he drove about
town, not in a coach-and-six, but, as
she mentioned in tones of horror, in
brougham. Herbert Spencer did no
worse, except that, owning a little vic
toria, he jobbed horse and driver.
All these equipages have some time
or other to run the gauntlet of the
mentors Of society. The victory Of the
penny bus was the greatest democrat
ic triumph ever won by the bench of
bishops. For it was banned by bell,
book and candle not SO long ago.
Prof. Vambery, when he was learn
ing to tread the straight and narrow
ways of London society, was caught
by lady riding on the top of a bus.
"Sir," she said, when he came hum
bly, down, take care not to be seen
there again, otherwise you can no
longer appear as a gentleman in so
ciety. London Sketch.

Make haste to school, my little child,
Or else you will be late;
Your books are all aseptic now,
And here's your sterile slate.
Your pencil has been boiled. an hour
'Tis germless, now, L hope;
And don't forget to wash your desk
With this carbolic soap.
And lest about the Schoolroom hoOr
Some unseen microbes Turk,
Just sprinkle formaline around
Before you set to work.
You'd better put, for safety's sake,
Bichloride in the ink.
And water that has not been bohed
You must not dare to drink.
OF course, when recess comes around,
Some food you'n want to munich;
So in this disinfected box
Is predigestSd lunch.
And since it's said that in a kiss
Bacteria may dwell,
I may not give you, as I'd like,
A mothers fond farewell.
Make haste to school, my little child,
And leave my tender care;
And may you still be safely kept
From microbes in the air.
