Taft, It was announced that they
would continue to present their side of
the contested delegate cases to the
national committee. The decision Of
the national committee will not be
taken as final by the candidates
known as ''the allies" but an appeal
will be taken in cases where it is
believed injustice has been done, first
to the committee on credentials and
later to the national convention it.

THE determination of the represen-
tative of the allies to continue the
presentation of their side of the con-
tests to the national committee is not
to be taken as an indication that they
approved of the manner in which

these contests have been decided. But,
on order to be in the position to pre-
sent all of the cases in proper form
to the committee on credentials, it is
deemed advisable to comply with the
form of procedure laid down by the
national committee.
1T Is the firm determination of the
representatives Of the allies to give
the national committee first an oppor-
tunity to consider all the contests upon
their merits.'

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint yea well.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead Grade marked with 'The
Dutch Boy Painter") there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac-
tory. White lead is capable of abb
solute test for purity. National Lead
Company, Woodbridge Building, New
York, win send a testing outfit free to
any one interested.

HOW HOT is THE SUM-
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
m~oelectric pile) and obtained 5,573
degrees, and measurements made with
the pyrheliometric telescope lead to
the figures 1903 degrees. There is
yet a 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 G. (9,7O0 degrees FL"

MAN MUST WEAR A GAG.
Court Makes Order and Red eandana
Is Used Effectively.

Tacoma, Wash.-"Stuttering" Smith
is the first man in the court records OF
this city compelled to wear a gag IN
his mouth when he appears on he
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 affict1on
that physicians who have examined
him say is probably without parallel.
1t is an involuntary movement OF me
vocal organs that compels him to ut
ter words and sentences that ne
claims are not in his mind. Smiths
chief offense is vulgar expressions,
used, apparently in al 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 a gag
in his mouth, preventing him from
talking.
Shortly after being discharged by
the court Smith had a large handker-
chief tied tightly over mis- mouth by
a 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.

FARMERS IN NEED OF HELP.
immigration Officials Take Steps to
Send Aliens to Country.

Washington.-The division of infor-
nation Of the immigration bureau can
furnish places for 500 men who are
willing to work on farms for from SIC
to $95 per month, board and lodging
included. The division recently sent
out $4,000 circular letters to farmers
in all sections Of the country and from
the 5000 replies received will supply
to its agents in the Maritime building
in New York the addresses of 500
farmers who want hired men"
The object of the division in send
ing out these circulars was to find
places for aliens who came from farms
in their native countries and form a
large percentage of foreigners who are
stranded in New York city, or nearly
so, and who make a p~recarious living
doing odd jobs.
the fact that the financial depres-
sion of the past six months has caused
a migration to the country is shown
by scores of letters which state that
the needs of farmers have been met
to a considerable extent in the eastern
section of the country by men driven
from the cities to accept work on the
farms.
Chief Powderly of the division of in.
formation expects to locate places on
farms for several thousand aliens bv

"Well?"
"They all came together, sir"
"Who came; will you tell me that?"
Why, the people who've been trav-

with him, and Miss Devereux came
with them from Cincinnati. That's
what l learned in the village. And Mr..

l had been blue enough without this
news. Marian Devereux had come

reed at this astounding news. Being
now entitled to my grandfather's prop

ing. She and Pickering had discussed
together at the Armstrong; my flight
from Annandale, and her return could
have no other meaning than that there
was a strong tie between them. and
that he was now to stay on the ground
until should be dispossessed and her
rights established. She had dared me
to follow her, and my forfeiture had

Certain things were planned that

II can't imagine, l really can't be-

as much. 1 suppose there's no way of

property to a young woman who has
no claim on him,-who doesn't want
anything from him."
bah, these women! People don't
throw legacies to the birds these days.
OF course she'll take it," observed
Larry.
Then his eyes widened and met mine
in a gaze that reflected the mystifica-
ton and wonder that struck both of
us. Stoddard turned suddenly from
the fire, into which he had been gaz-
ing, exclaiming:
Whats that? There's some one up
stairs!"
Larry was already running toward
the hall, and l heard him springing
up the steps like a cat, while Stoddard
and l followed,
where's Bates?" demanded the
chaplain.
"I1l thank you for the answer" 1
replied.
Larry stood at the top of the stair
case, holding a candle at arms length
in front of him, staring about.
We could hear quite distinctly some
one walking down a stairway; the
sounds were unmistakable, just as 1
had heard them on two previous occa-
sions, without ever being able to trace
their source.
The noise ceased suddenly, leaving
us with no hint of it's whereabouts.

house and found Bates putting the
dishes away in the pantry.

manded.
