HOW HOT is THE SUN?
Temperature Said to Be Nearly 10000
Degrees Fahrenheit.

Paris.-A discussion as to how hot
the sun is has been carried on between
French scientists Prof. Millochau,
the physicist, says:
I'VE have seen that by applying
Stefan's law to the numbers given by
various observers for the solar con-
slant, we find that the suns tempera-
ture is between $500 degrees and
1000 degrees. Wilson and Gray in
1902 made a direct measure of this
temperature (by means of the Their
moelectric pile and obtained 5,573
degrees, and measurements made with
the pyrheliometric telescope lead to
the figures 1868 degrees. There is
yet third method OF evaluating the
solar temperature; it consists in an
application of the physical law of
radiation known as the law of dis
placement The product OF the wave
length corresponding the maximum
of intensity in the spectrum emitted
by the body. multiplied by its tenn
perature. is a constant quantity which
has been found by experiment to be
1900. Now the maximum of energy
in the solar spectrum is found near
the wave length, 5, which would make
the temperature $500 degrees.
THE agreement of the results
reached by these various methods is
certainly not due simply to chance.
and we may assert that the effective
temperature of the sun is nearly 5,400
degrees C. (9700 degrees FL"

BUT WAS 1T THE SAME MELoN7
Paper Carried by Darky Amounted
Almost to Perpetual Permit.

"A negro just loves watermelon"
said Representative Johnson of South
Carolina. Strange, too, that when a
policeman sees a negro with melon
at an unreasonable hour he has it
right down that the darby has stolen
that watermelon. heard a story about
policeman who met a negro in the
early hours of the morning, and he
had n big melon on his shoulder.
"I see you have a melon there?
Eyes, sah.' answered the darby.
Use got err melon; but Use fixed fer
you, sah,' and pulling out paper he
handed it to the officer, who read:
This bearer of this is o. X. He paid
me ten cents for the melon, and he
is pillar in the church. James
Elder
You are fixed said the officer.

negro. and he moved on.'-Washing-

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness il the natural outgrowth Of the
old.time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
cd by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
Of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, tho
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated. y
The patent medicine business is q
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one OF
these homemade remedies, would take
1t up, improve it in many ways, manu-
nture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over q
largo area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
monte origin. First, he prescribed it
for his nsighbors and his patients.
Tho sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
DR.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
On his remedy, Peruna.

MAN MUST WEAR A GAG.
court Makes Order and Red Bandana
Is Used Effectively.

Tacoma, Wash.-"Stuttering Smith
is the first man in the court records OF
this city compelled to wear gag In
his mouth when he appears on the
street. The police here know OF no
other like case in any other CITY,
Smith has given the police OF Ia
coma a great deal Of trouble. Years
ago he made his home here for ten
years. Then the police made life such
a burden for him that he left. Re-
Gently he came back and the police
have been after him every few days.
The man claims to have an affiiction
that physicians who have examined
him say is probably without parallel.
1t is an involuntary movement OF the
vocal organs that compels him to ut
ter words and sentences that he
claims are not in his mind. Smith S
chief offense is vulgar expressions,
used. apparently in an involuntary
manner, in the presence OF women.
The man is wealthy, and whenever
brought up in court. secures counsel
and makes a hard fight.
Judge Arnston ordered that when.
ever he appeared on the street or in
public places he should wear gag
in his mouth. preventing him from
talking.
Shortly after being discharged by
the court Smith had large handIer.
chief tied tightly over his mouth by
n policeman and was given his free
dom. Only when he is in the seclusion
of his own room is Smith permitted
to take the gag off.

Dressed in the latest and most ap-

goggles all complete, the motor
cyclist gayly toot-tooted his way by
Regents park towards the zoo. Sud
denly he slackened, dsmounted, and
said to small, grubby urchin:
II say, my boy, am l right for the
zoo?"
The boy gasped at so strange a
sight, and thought it must be some
new animal for the gardens.
