HOW THE MOON LOOKS.
Queer Variance In Impressions as to
the Same Object.

Queer Variance In Impressions as to
the Same Object.
| asked my men 70 compare the size
Of the full moon to that of some OBJ
ject held In the hand at arms length.
| explained the question carefully and
said that they were to describe an
object just large enough when seen at
arms length to cover the whole moon.
My list of answers begins as follows:
Quarter of a dollar, fair sized canta-
loupe; at the horizon large dinner
plate; overhead. dessert plate; my
watch, six inches in diameter, silver
dollar, hundred times as large as my
watch, mans head. fifty cent piece,
nine inches in diameter grape fruit,
carriage wheel. butter plate, orange,
ten feet, two inches, one cent piece,
schoolroom clock. pea, SOUP plate,
fountain pen, lemon pie, palm of the
hand three feet In diameter enough
to show again the overwhelming man
ifoldness of the impressions received.
To the surprise of my readers per-
haps it may be added at once that the
who compared it to a pea. 1t is most
probable that the results would not
have been different If | had asked the
question on a moonlight night with the
full moon overhead. The substitution
of the memory image for the immedi-
ate perception can hardly have I'M
paired the correctness of the judg
ments. If In any court the size Uf
distant object were to be given by
witnesses, and one man declared it as
large as a pea and the second as large
as a lemon pie and the third ten feet
in diameter 1t would hardly be fair to
form an objective Judgment till the
psychologist had found out what kind
of mind was producing that estl-
mate Professor Hugo Munsterberg

what whisky is. What we do know and
what paternal governments deplore IS
that a great deal of stuff is put upon
the market, and thence finds its way into
the national alimentary canal. which,
whether it be whisky or not, is not good
to drink. This new British commission
proposes to inform the people whether
the law should restrict the materials or
the processes used in the manufacture
of whisky; to require declarations as to
such materials or processes; to require
all new whisky to be matured in bond,
and to extend such requirements to all
imported spirits. Whisky is stubborn
fact, but it must yield like other things
to regulation.

Seeing these quill toothpicks done
up in paper envelopes in the hotels
here" said the man from the far east,
reminds me Of the Japanese eating
places, In the bigger hotels or restau-
rants they hand you the chopsticks
done up in a sealed envelope, This is
with the idea of convincing you that
they never have been used before.
which IS not always SO. In the cheap
err restaurants they have much bet
ter plan for setting your mind at rest.
There you get u piece OF wood as
broad as two chopsticks split TO with
in an inch of one end When you take
this piece of wood you split It the rest
OF the way, and there you have tne
two sticks. You can be sure then thar
no other person has used them."-New

CALIFORNIA; Blue Book.

The Tribune publisher is much pleased
with having received an attractiyely
bound volume of California's Blue Book
for 1907 On the inside title page we
read, Compiled by and under the SUI
pervision of c. r. Curry, Secretary of
State. Mr., Curry was formerly of
Mineral Point. He spent his boyhood
in Mineral Point and was known as
Forrest by schoolmates and chums.
He is a son of the late Charles Curry,
for many years prominent in the bust
ness and social circles of Mineral Point
previous to 1878, when he moved with
his family to the golden slopes of the
far west. Forrest was then about 10
years Of age.
The California Blue Book is one of
$50 pages. 1t shows mastery in its
compilation, contains beautiful illustra-
tons and on the whole is very in
teresting.

cAIssON WORK.
How Foundations Of Great Steel
Structures Are Built.

The foundations for the great steel
structures are built by means of calls
sons in which the men can work under
great pressure of air 1t is a very
interesting sight TO watch them, aud
the best of 1t is that any one may see
them at close rang from an adjoining
sidewalk The caisson is hollow steel
cylinder open at the lotion and just
large enough to permit man to work.
The workman climbs down ladder In
this tube and digs away the earth at
the bottom As the earth Is taken
away the steel tube Is gradually low
cred. The earth is taken out by
bucket, which Is lowered and raised by
tall derrick at one side. As the
casson sinks. air is pumped into the
commandment containing the man. This
is to force back any water or dirt that
might fill the hole from the outside as
fast as the workman removes 1t from
within The pressure Of this air is of
ten so great that man can work but
an hour or so at time At the top
of the caisson is a steel cylinder with
an air tight door at either end, which
serves as a Kind OF vestibule to the
tube below.
When one of the caisson workers
starts TO go to work he opens the door
or lid at the top and climbs in, when
the opening is once more tightly clos
ed This door or lid is air tight Aft
er the opening to the outer air has
been closed the workman opens the
door at the bottom Of this steel COM
partment and lets in compressed air
from the caisson below 1t takes
few minutes to become accustomed to
breathing this atmosphere, for the
heavy air makes the head ring. As
soon MS The workman can do SO he
climbs down into the funnel below
closing the lower door Of the steel
anteroom as he does so. All this must
be done in the dark. If the workman
wishes to signal the outer world he
may do so by striking the steel sides
of his narrow prison with. his shovel.
He usually signals in this way when
the bucket is TO he raised or lowered

The Way Some Farmers Figure.

| BY EX-Gov. Hoard.
Passing one of our warehouses the
other day, we saw a farmer unloading
corn and oats, to be ground for his cows.
We asked him why he used such expen-
sive food? He looked surprised and said
it was the cheapest; that he could not
afford to buy other and better foods be-
cause they cost so much. We asked him
if he had figured out how much per ton
the corn and oats were worth right at the
warehouse. He said he had not and
looked surprised when we told him that
he was feeding the most expensive ra-
ton he could get. We sometimes Won
der if some of our farmers ever studied
arithmetic?
Other men figure on the cost of things.
But the strange notion prevails among
some farmers that if they raise oats,
for instance, they cost less to feed than
they are worth to SELL In other words,
what they raise does not cost as much
as what they buy. Oats are quoted at
SO cents bushel in the Chicago mar
ket. There are 62le bushels in ton.
This would show that at the price in the
wholesale market they are worth 1913. II
per ton. In ton of corn there are $50
bushels. The price in Chicago is 63 cts.
This would make the wholesale price of
corn 500. AZ per ton # the best milk re-
suits are got from this combined feed,
the proportion should be two-thirds oats
and OF third corn and then this feed
will not produce as much milk ais pur-
ity grains, Ajax flakes or gluten meal.
A ton of two-thirds oats and one-thirC
corn at the rate we have figured viii
cost $2S. %. Add the cost of grinding
and we have over $50 ton for oui
cheap feed grown by ourself on the
farm you know" Some farmers will
not take dairy paper and study the
feed question because, they say they
cannot afford it, !" but they will FEED
a home grown ration costing more ano
producing less milk and think it wise.
In the same way and with the same
figuring they will feed timothy hay
worth in the market, say, $l5 ton
when it is a poor roughage for milk,
and refuse to put up silo where they
can store the finest kind of milk pro
ducing roughage, when balanced with
the right kind of grain ration. There
needs to be more arithmetic used in
farming. The country district school
was neglected by thousands of farmers
in their youth, and some of them are
now paying no attention to it for their
children when they know how much
they need it themselves.

What is Whisky ?

New FORK World.
In England they are attempting by
means of a royal commission TO deter
mine what whisky is. The pot still has
called the patent still corrupt, and the
controversy which has ensued has evoked
prodigious amount of testimony re-
garding whisky-making processes. 1t is
proposed to distinguish the two kinds of
whisky through labels bearing a full de-
scription Of the materials used and the
mode of distillation. Yet as to exactly
what constitutes whisky verdict in ae-
cordance with the evidence is likely to
be the Scotch one of mot proven.
The agitation has an interest for this
country at time when Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte is threatening to pro-
coed under the pure food law against
whisky concerns which neglect to afix
descriptive labels to the product. BY

Justice whisky muse be offered MS
