Jones could not resist the habit even at La Joa,

His almost fearful invitation and automobile COM

The car had been Pollyless for seven long days.
He would have risked his soul and worshiped on the

The spectators, two fishermen, the waiter from the

"0h Mr. Jopes." said Polly's mamma.

"Poly," said Peter, who had taken swift glance
shoreward, we're it."

The Clover

{ WAYING and nodding gayIy
- With every wind that blows
The happy, red checked clover
Down in the meadow grows.
The rains but make it fairer,
The winds but make 1t strong;
The bees which steal its honey
It's fragrance bear along.
When stricken by the sickle
1t reaFs its head anew
To meet again the sunshine,
To drink again, the dew.
The tender. hotheuse darlings,
Shielded from sun and air,
May shrink from its advances
And deem themselves more fair.
But all the world is dearer,
And all the air more sweet,
Because the sturdy clover
Grows gayly at our feet!

Hunting the MoIecule

MYTH the latest Improvements in microscopes it is
w possible to detect much smaller particles than
formerly, II is hardly correct however, to say
that these seen by the observer; rather he recog
nzes their existence and position by the way which
they affect beam of light thrown upon them In
this way some confirmation of the generally received
molecular theory of matter has been obtained.
1t has long been known that tiny particles in
fluid are endowed with esaseless motion. which has
been named "Brewnan movement" after it's English
diseeverer, When certain germs dissolved in al
eohol and then mixed with water faint yellowish
brown emulsion results. Perrin recent French OBJ
server, studying this with microscope, sees multi
udes of small moving granues, which gradually dis
appear as the liquid stands Using the new ultra
microscopic methods he finds that this apparent dis
appearance is due simply the fact that the particles
have grown smaller The distribution of these dimin-
shed granules in the liquid is precisely that of the
supposed molecules of perfect gas, and their
age energy is the same as that of such molecules
M. Perrin believes, therefore, that the "Brownian
movement" is caused by the iostlng of molecules in
their ceaseless motion against the suspended particles
which are themselves almost as small as molecules
possibly they may actually be molecues AT any rate
we are here getting down pretty close molecules
and il is possible that we may day "visibly de-
tect" them even if We not "see" them.
