THE HEAT OF THE SUN.
Why 1t Is Warmer on the Plains Thar
on Mountain Tops.

why u Is warmer on the Plains han
on Mountain Tops.
There is one thing in connection with
the heat Of the sun that many people
70 not understand, says the Chicago
News. Citing the well known fact that
the nearer we get to a fire the more
we feel it's heat, they ask why it is
that we find the air so much colder
on the top of high mountain than on
the plain below. On the plain the
suns rays pour down with an intensity
that causes actual suffering while on
the mountain, three miles nearer the
source of heat, there is perpetual snow
That apparent Inconsistency is per-
fectly understood by those that have
given even casual study to atmos-
pheric phenomena, for it is in the
earth's atmosphere that the cause may
be found. The suns rays impart lit
tie of their heat to the air. 1t is the
surface Of the earth that they warm,
and their radiation from the surface
warns the superintendent air. 1t is
a law Of nature that all hot bodies
tulo" ou tuelF neat lutO space. ne
earth throws off at night part of the
heat that it receives from the sun
during the day. 1t would throw it off
with almost equal facility during the
day If it were not for the atmospheric
coat that surrounds it. That atmos-
pheric coat may be compared to the
glass top of hothouse-it permits the
suns heat to enter readily, but pre-
vents it from escaping.
We see. therefore. why in precisely
the same latitude the heat on the plains
may be SO great as to parch the vege-
tatiOn, while on the mountain top
there may be snow and ice the whole
year around. The air is so dense on
the lower levels that free radiation of
heat from the eartlr's surface is i'm
possible. Therefore the lower levels
are warm. But on the mountain top
the air is not nearly so dense. and heat
Is thrown off into space almost as fast
as it is received.

by a score of 8 to 6. After they had
seemingly snatched victory from de-

sensational play was made Earlham
led by q score of 6 to s.
The game was one of the fastest and
cleanest ever seen in Springfield, and
was full of exciting plays.
1t was bitterly contested, each team
lighting hard for the victory and con-
testing every inch Of ground from the
first sound Of the whistle until the
whirling ball on drop kick scared
over the goal posts. Ill.,,
The crowd was kept in suspense
and both teams tasted the joys OF vic
tory and defeat.
The first half was fast and furious
with neither team able to score. Earl

a succession of forward passes and
open plays worked the oval back to the
center OF the field, where Earlham
braced and took the ball on downs.

Earlham Immediately came back and
after the kickoff took up a steady
march down the field. After three

Next demand Il lump of Sugar-be in
sistent that it may be one of peculiar
shape, easily recognized again by your
audience.
When you have received it. hold ii
up well to public inspection and ex-
plain that, after having swallowed 1t
before their eyes you will after a very
short interval bring it under either of
the two hats. whichever your audience
may choose.
The comrany-all agog with your
last trick-will expect some clever
straightforward and win watch you
closely to see that there Is no hum
bugging and that you really eat and
swallow the lump of sugar.
Eat it openly before them all-crunch
it Enthusiastically. so that they may hear
you do it-and then ask with great
show of confidence under which hat
you shall bring the lump.
The choice having been made, place
the chosen hat with great solemnity on

FARMER PROMOTERS
AgriCuIturists of Kansas De-
eide to Become Har-
rimanS
BUILDING A RAILROAD.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 25.-The farm
ers of Kansas have decided to join
Hartman and Hill and become rail-
road magnates. They are now financ-
ing a railroad 204 miles in length, run
ming from Denver northwesterly
through the Rocky Mountains to the
coal fields of Wyoming. They have
raised enough money among themsel-
yes to complete the frs. sixty miles
and have arranged to get enough to
complete it. Every inch of the grade
every rail and tie and spike will be
paid for by money furnished by the
farmers of Kansas.
The chief promoters of the road are
John D. Milliken, lawyer of McPher-
son, Kan, and former United States
Senator w. A. Harris. Col. Harris
has succeeded in interesting scores of
prominent Kansas populists in the en-
terprise.
Leaf From Wall Street Book.
The way the road is being financed
shows that Kansas farmers are on to
the game of high finance, as well as
Wall Street. The promoters first Sc
cured title to about $4,000 acres val
liable coal lands in Wyoming. These
lands were spotted by Col. Harris
years ago, when he was a civil engi-
neer of the Union Pacific.
A company was organized to take
| over these lands and the stock is be-
| ing sold to Kansas farmers at par. AL
ready more than million and a quar-
| ter dollars have been paid in by the
| farmers. 1t is proposed to raise an
even 100000 in this way. Of this
sum $4,000 is to be used in develop
| ing the property. The other million
and half is to be loaned to the rail-
road company, known as the Denver,
! Laramie and Northwestern. for the
construction of the line. All of the
preliminary work mas been complet-
ed and work has commenced on the
grade. Contracts have also been made
| for rails and ties and equipment.
East viii Buy The Bonds.
The Kansas farmers, through Mr.
! Milliken and Col. Harris, have made
deal whereby the million and halt

money will be used TO build the first

up TO the limit of cost. The funds
from the bond sale will be used tc
reimburse the farmers fund and this
in turn, will be used TO construct the
second stretch of sixty miles, anC
when this is completed the New Yorf
house will buy bonds on that stretcl

the New York house will take enough

REFEREE HARTER UNFAIR.
Hls Unjust Decision Cost Earlham
Game Yesterday.
Coach Vail of the Earlham team
arrived home last evening from
Springfield and stated that had com
petent referee OBLIGATED in the Earl
ham-Wittenberg game the Quakers
would have won to 4.
He allowed Wittenberg a touch
down made after he had called foul
This action defeated Earlham. The
play In question was forward pass
made by White Of Earlham. AS the
ball was in the air Referee Harter
who played on the Wittenberg team
last year. blew his whistle, calling a
foul. Notwithstanding this a Witten
berg player grabbed the ball and ran
the length of the field for a touch
down.
Referee Harter stated that he had
called the foul because White had fail
ed to pass the ball the required five
yards from center and besides had
made the pass after being tackled
Harter insisted that Wittenberg had
the right to decline the penalty as
sessed against Earlham for the alleg
ed foul and the touchdown counted
Mr.. Vail pointed out to him that 70,
fouls on any forward pass play penal
ties cannot be declined and conse
quently the score could not count
Harter was appointed referee be
cause of the failure of the referee
who had been selected to show UP.
