TALKS TO HOME FOLKS
Bryan Gets Close to Nebraska Farm. CTS in Twenty -one-Speech Tour.

Wahoo, Neb., Oct. 13,--William ]. Bryan today campaigned in his own state and tonight at this place com pleted tho first of his three days tour of Nebraska Big crowds greeted him at every point and when his days work was over he had delivered q speeches, varying in length from five minutes to Rn hour. His arguments were confin- ed mostly to the stands of Mir Taft and Governor Hughes who recently visited Nebraska. The audiences were most Iy farmers and the democratic oandi- date frequently moved them to loud applause.
 A carload of speakers was brought along out of Omaha and at each place visited ono was dropped off to com- plete the work of e&pouuding demo- cratic doctrine. MT. Bryan accused Mr. Taft of not making the speech h Nebraska that he had been making In other parts of tho country.
 "He did not discuss the guarantee of bank deposits" he said, doubtless because he was informed that the people of Nebraska are in favor of the guaranteeing of deposits.
 His appeal was to the farmers and lt was based on the fact that the farmers have had good crops and fair prices But did the Republican party give you good crops2 All who think that the Republican party is respon- Bible for good crops should thank the Republican party. Those who believe as we do that tho good crops are due to the fertility Of the soil, to season able rains and VI the warmth Of the Sunehino should thank tho Almighty

TAKING . iCTURES OF MARS
INTERESTING DETAILS or MAX
ING OF THE ANDES Pho
ToGRAPHs.

In all About Ten Thousand Negative
Images Were Taken - All Show.
Larger Canals With Remarkable
Clearness.
The Andes photographs of Mars were
made with e large planetary camera
which carries with 1t an amplifyfng
lens. This camera was fastened to
the lower end OF the large telescope or
eighteen-inch lens, and each OF the
many little images shown on the plates
were taken separately. The telescope
was adjusted so that the planet was
in the center of the Gamers field; then
the plate holder carrying the sensitive
plate was placed in the carrier OF the
planetary camera and set in position
for the first image, the side then being
drawn from the plate holder. A bulb
In the right hand opened the shutter
of the camera, allowing the light from
the planet to fall on the sensitive plate,
with an exposure of about W seconds.
Then a bulb in the left hand shifted
the plate a quarter of an inch for the
succeeding image; and sc on through
the entire series of images taken on
one pate. Sometimes the plate was ar
ranged TO shift from right to left and
sometimes in a vertical direction.
Inasmuoh as the photographs were
made at night, virtually no light ex-
cept that from Mars reached the plate,
and the latter was not incapacitated
by one exposure from receiving other
sensitive impressions. About half an
hour was coolsumed in taking the six
ty images on some of the plates, n
eight or ten plates were exposed in
one nights work. In all about 10000
negative images were taken.
AS the best seeing" occurs in
"lashes,' the successive images on
the same negative may differ some
what in wealth OF finer detail; to the
! skilled eye all show the larger canals
with remarkable ~clearness, though the
more delicate details are lost in repro
duction. OF the 10000 images of the
| planate none is destitute of canals, and
In some cases as many as twenty-five
or thirty canals have been counted in
a single image. Several of the previ-
ously observed double canals show
| their duality on the plates taken dur
ing the intervals of best atmospheric
conditions.
This has been only the second oppo-
sition of Mars during which the canals
have been successfully photographed.
| The first and only previous successful
| Photographic Impressions of the canals
were obtained at the Lowell observa-
tory, Flagstaff, Arizona, during the OPP
position of 1905, through the thought
and skill Of Mr.. c. o. Lampland. Twoo
years will elapse before another Apo
sition of the planet, when it makes a
| still nearer approach to the earth, and
| after that no favorable opposition will
occur for a period of fifteen years.-E.

SHOE S.
The System of Numbering the Work
of a Forgotten F~renchman.

The System of Numbering the Work
of a Forgotten F~renchman.
at is the hardest thing in the world
for me-" said a busy man the other
day, ito remember the sizes of my
different articles of wearing apparel.
Collars, shirts and gloves are easy
enough because there it's a matter Of
actual inches, but where they get the
hat and shoe numbers is what beats
me, and why | have an eleven stock
ing under an eight shoe is another
mystery"
The last puzzle Is easily explained.
Stockings have always been measured
by the inch from heel to toe, but the
numbering o. shoes was fixed a long
time sgo by a Frenchman-and it's so
long AGO that only enc New York deal
er coull be found who knew anything
about II. Even he didn't know the In
ventor's nelde
The F~rrcbn2Gn permanently fixed
the numbers OF hoes for all Europe
and America. He arbitrarily decided
that no hanen foot could possibly be
smaller Il en three and seven-eighths
inches, 50 calling this point zero, he
allowed onethi~a of an inch to a size
and 20 built up his scale. Conse-
quent,y Q man cannot find out the
number Of Ms own shoe unless he Is
an experS az exact arithmetic. And
even then he IS likely to go wrong. be-
cause all shce experts allow for the
weight OF The individual and the build
of his foot before they try to deter
mine what size shoe he ought to wear.
AS far as women's shoes are con.
cerned the problem Is still more diff.
cult because many of the manufacture
ers instead of keeping to the regular
scale have marked down their mum
hers one or two sizes in order to cap
ture easily fiattered customers. Foor
this reason most dealers ask out-oi
town customers to send an old shoe
with their orders.
The system % measuring hats is
much simpler. Any man can tell what
size he veal by simply adding the
width and length OF the inner rim ant
then dividing by two. Orders can also
be sent to the shopkeeper by statinf
the circumference Of the head.
