By Margaret Townsend

true and proper sense she an
tIC1pated by two centuries, and reduced them to
practice without neglecting her domestic rela-
tons. She was consulted upon all matters OF
public importance, because her judgment was
superior, and was universally acknowledged to
be great woman.
1t was not that her husband Nathaniel Star
buck, was a of inferior mold, that she
gained such prominence, for he was man of
good ability; but because of her prominent
qualifications that she acquired good
reputation, whereby her husbands qualifi-
cations were apparently lessened.
In the language of John Richardson, an
early preacher, The islanders esteemed her as
a Judge among them; for little of moment was
done without her At the town meetings she
was accustomed to attend she took an active part
in the debates, usually beginning her address
with Ny husband thinks SO and SO, or My
husband and l having considered the subject,
think SO and So" From every source of IN
formation, as also from tradition, there is
abundant evidence that she was possessed of
sound judgment, clear understanding and an
elegant way OF expressing herself, that was
natural to her.
In 1901, at the age of fifty-six, she became
interested in the religious faith of the Quakers
and took the spiritual concerns of the whole
island under her special superintendent.
She held meetings at her own house, which are
often alluded to by visiting Friends who have
written concerning the islands early religious
history; wrote the quarterly epstles, and
preached in a most eloquent manner, and
withal was as distinguished in her domestic
economy as she was celebrated preacher.
OF this department, John Richardson, who
preached at her house, wrote, THE order of
her house was such in all the parts thereof as !
had not seen the like before. The large and
bright rubbed room was set with suitable seats
or chairs for a meeting that l did not
anything wanting according to place, but
something to stand on, for was not free to set
my foot upon the fine cane chair, lest / should
break soil it."
y most delightful and valuable volume
could be written upon the works and ways of
this wonderful early settler in Nantucket, and
the manner in which she reared and devoted
herself to her ten children should convince those
who may doubt that the home need not
necessarily be neglected by women whose
interest and brains seem to warrant their
taking part in the public welfare.

Dopplers Principle

THIS is an effect first discovered by the man
whose name it bears, which explained fully
two things that had up to said discovery been
great mystery to men of science. 1t was
noticed that on receding rapidly from musical
instrument of certain pitch the pitch became
deeper, and on approaching rapidly the pitch
became higher. The same effect was noticed if
the instrument itself was moved instead of the
auditor, thus proving that it was not peculiar
ity of the human The effect may be noticed
in the whistle of an approaching train-as it
comes up the pitch is very high, and when it
recedes the pitch becomes lower although
know that the whistle g YES out the same pitch
as far as it is concerned all the time.
So the cause had to be concealed in the
motion somewhere. 1t must be understood
that when certain sound has certain pitch it
means certain number of vibrations a second,
and consequently certain number of quickly
successive sound waves in the air. Suppose
that the instrument is pitched at what is
known as Z, it is giving five hundred and twelve
sound waves out each second, and an auditor
standing still will receive that manv in his ear
and will hear the pitch {. If, however, the
auditor moves toward the source of sound he
Immediately begins to receive more than that
number a second on account of his scoopng up
more sound waves than was intended as can
be readily seen. The same principle applies
when he leaves behind some waves that he
ought to receive and hears lower pitch.
The greatest and most astounding applica-
ton of this principle, however, comes in the
study of light The color of any light depends
on the same thing that the pitch of sound does,
the number of waves second. So it has been
found that stars or planets receding from us
turn more red, while those coming rapidly
toward us become bluer. If one could 60 fast
enough it could and would easily change from
red to blue or vice versa, according to the di
rection it moved. This principle is now ap-
Piled successfully to tell actually whether a
star is moving at all or not and thus has helped
out astronomers to a wonderful extent.
The change in color of the stars is too small
of course to be detected except by the special
this instrument does it by showing that certain
lines shift their position.

Bows On Mems Hats

W1HY is 1t that mans hat has a band, and
w why is it this band has bow invariably
on the left side3
The answer is that there time when
piece of cloth adjusted to the head and tied
with band of other material served for
headpiece. The reason the bow always
placed the left side had its origin in the fact
that in welding a sword-an accomplishment
possessed by nearly everyone of consequence at
one period of the worlds history-the bow or
rosette if placed on the right side would have
been in the way Its present day utility is that
it keeps most men from wearing their hats hind
side before, and although with most hats that
would not matter, with most heads it does

.W/HILE the earnest efforts of Mrs. 0. II. P;
" Belmont Mrs Clarence Mackay, and
other women of prominence for woman's
suffrage are engaging the public mind OF the
present day, 1T is interesting to note that nearly
two hundred and fifty years ago the same
movement was started in the island of Nan
tucket by daughter of Tristram Coffyn las he
always signed his name) and Dionls Stevens
of Brixton England.
He, with his wife FIVE small children, his
widowed mother, and two unmarried sisters,
emlgrated to America IN 1912, and became the
founder of the family line in the United States,
from whom all persons of the name OF Coffin IN
this country descended.
They lived alternately at several places IN
the Colony of Massachusetts, until 1859 when
he came to Nantucket then under the jurs
diction of New York, and made arrangements
for the purchase of the island by company
he organized at Salisbury. He returned to
Nantucket with his family in 1860, where he
lived until his death.
Tristram Coffyn of the landed gentry in
England, and conformably with his fathers will
was to be provided for " according to his degree
and calling" His family papers make every
thing clear, save the reason why he left all his
comfortable estates in old England to embark
with his wife and family for New England.
All of Tristram Coffyn's children distin-
guished themselves in some good fashion as they
took their places in the world of men and
: women; but it remained for Mary, the seventh
child, to distinguish herself as suffrag1st.
She was born at Haverill, in l645, married at
/. the age of seventeen Nathaniel Starbuck, and
died at Nantucket IN November, IVY Their
eldest child, Mary Starbuck, born in 1868, was
the first white child born on the island
Mary Starbuck Coffin developed into an
extraordinary woman participating IN the
practical duties and responsibilities of public
gatherings and town meetings, on which
occasions her words were always listened to
with marked respect.

Well Guarded Trade Secrets

THERE are two trade secrets at least that
the world at large may never learn. One is
the Chinese method of making the bright and
beautiful color known as vermilion or Chinese
red and the other is a Turkish secret,-the
inlaying of the hardest steel with gold and
silver.
Among the Chinese and the Turks these two
secrets are guarded well. Apprentices, before
they are taken for either trade must swear an
ironclad oath to reveal nothing of what passes in
the workshop. These apprentices, furthermore,
must belong to families of standing, must pay
large sum by way of guarantee and must furnish
certificates of good character and honesty. These
secrets have been handed down faithfully from
one generation to another for hundreds of years.

Nerve Timing

A STRANGE instance of the care and minute
4 ness with which the human body is now
studied in the effort to understand its powers
and functions better, is furnished by a paper
read recently at a meeting of the Royal Society
Impulse in Tall and Short Individuals" Even
the difference in time required for nerve
telegram to traverse the bodies of different
persons is regarded as a matter of scientific
Importance.
A series of observations has shown that the
length of the nerve does not affect the velocity
with which an impulse passes between the brain
and the extremities and consequently that more
time is needed if the path is long than if it is
short 1t follows that a short man should feel
step on his corns quicker than tall man but the
