Social Ladder Easy to Climb.

The social lines in Chicago are still
shifting and social climbers are not
unwelcome, says The Delineator.
In Chicago everybody knows ev-
erybody. There are few who were
in the Social Register or whatever
corresponded to it, before the mem
orable fire; they are still serenely
present. Other belongers have moved
in since, from the East, from the
North, from Virginia, who have
brought their home status with them,
and who have been accepted without
hesitancy. Others have climbed in
with an open1ess OF intention which
has been refreshing and interesting,
and are accepted now for what they
have achieved, for what they have
proved themselves to be. Others are
still climbing, and may arrive any
day. They must show real worth
before they are regarded as anything
more than jokes by the irreverent
midWesterner.

Good Roads and State Papers.

The Culpeper Enterprise and the
Claremont Herald both earnestly urge
better roads for Virginia The Clare
mont Herald says that in the coun-
ties of Surry, Prince George, Charles
City and Isle of Wight the roads are
worse than at any time within the
last four years. The Culpeper En-
terprise follows the very useful
course of printing for the benefit of
its subscribers the United States Gov
eminent report on how to make and
maintain model earth road. The
widest publicity should be given this
sort of Information, and the State
papers could do nothing better than
spread in their communities the
knowledge of earth road building.
Even. were the money available, it
would be impossible to macadamize
all the roads at once, but a sensible
use of drag made of logs and a road
scraper and open bitches on the sides
of the road can and will transform
the fearful sloughs of despond that
now impair and retard the growth of
the country districts into useful and
convenient highways. = Richmond

is made by the skillful operation of a

American Girl Leads World.

Professor ]. B. Bury, the eminent
English historian of Cambridge Uni
versity, declares American women
lack in home life. In his criticism of
American women he says:
American women are vain. Your
Western college women are unat-

are uninteresting. They do not COM

If they knew not the meaning of
dissipation, yet American women, as

OUT OF MOUTHS OF cRoAKERs,

In ido-haunted Babylon,

And falsehood was in flower,

When vice was in its day,
When Sophists dropped their silken lines
And Luxury held sway,
A Prophet preached his decalogues
And Fools to Wisdom bid,
This town is going to the dogs

Then Rome upon her seven hills
Made free with gilded pomp.
The Plebs were wont to pay the bills
And let the Senate romp,
Until Teacher in the throng
Amid the Forum hid
And cried. "This town is going wronglS

The plainest-minded child can see
A certain moral law.

THE LIGHT OF THE MOON.
Its Intensity Determined by Use of
Selenium Cell.

The light of the moon has been de-
termined by the appropriate means Of
a selenium cell. The selenium cell,
which, as is well known, discloses a
varying electric resistance according
to the amount of light thrown on 1t,
has been generally used in light tele-
phony, and in Korn's transmission Of
photographs to a distance. 1t is not
entirely trustworthy, because of the
differing color sensibility of various
cells, but the values it gave of the
moons Illuminating power, have a
distinct value and interest. AS de-
termined by this method, the light of
the full moon is ri of standard
candlepower, or rather more than
one-fifth of a candlepower. The full
moon gives us approximately nine
times as much light is the half moon,
and the gibbous disc is brighter be-
fore than after full moon. The selen-
ium cell was sufficiently accurate and
sensitive to determine the central
phase of lunar eclipse, within one
minute of the predicted time.-Phila-
delphia Record.

Leaving out the question as to
