the five minutes had expired a lad
of nine years stood up and said 4;
"Well, sir, habit is hard to over

you take off another, you still have a
bit left. If you take off still an
other, the whole of it remains. II
you take off another, it is not totally
used up, all Of which goes to show
that if you want to get rid of habit
you must throw it off altogether"

These are picnic days-days for
the woods, for the fresh green grass,
for the deviled eggs, for the rasp-
berry pie, and for the girl with the
white frock and the heart-splitting
laugh. II you let the sweet July
days ripple by, without plungiug
into one of these woodsy affairs
and butterfying yourself through
the leaf-sprinkled sunshine, if you
fail to deck your life with these ex-
periences. what does it amount to
anyhow? The soul must have its
days to romp, to wade in the creeks
and swing from the branches OF the
trees. II it hasn't it will get hard
and dry, and you can't make a dent
in it with line of poetry or the
touch of a vanished hand. Seeing
a person in parlor or an offi;e is

SHAKESPEARE'S LAW.
Citations to Show That He Was In the
Fashion Of His Time.

Citations TO snow nat ne was III the
Fashion of His Time.
No ordinary reader Of Shake
speare's works can fail to be struck
by the copious and ever recurring
legal phraseology with which they
are filled. Not only are law terms
frequently employed with an al
most professional correctness to
give color and intensity to his SEN
fences, but whole scenes are taken
up with illusions to or discussions
on purely legal matters, as in "The
Merchant of Venice" "Henry v"
and the grave scene in Hamlet"
not to mention other plays. So
profound indeed is the knowledge
displayed all through tSrt no less
an authority on the subject than
Lord Campbell has told us that "to
Shakespeare's law, lavishly as he
propounds it, there can neither be
demurrer nor bill of exceptions nor
writ of error" To this marked
feature of the works more than to
any other one might perhaps with
justice attribute the very origin OF
the whole Baconian theory. The
point is naturally Of extreme i'm
portance in the eyes Of those whose
only knowledge of the literature Of
the period is confined to Shake
speare's writings. But that impor-
lance shrinks rapidly to inSignif-
canoe after a course Of reading
through the general dramatic liter
ature of the time, in which, as a
matter of fact, legal SMILES and al
lusions arc found to occur with
about the same frequency as in
Shakespearc'S works. So strong in
deed is the legal coloring of all
stage writing at the time that one is
forced to believe that law talk must
have been more common among lay
men in those days and especially
among laymen of a playgoing dis
position than it has ever been dur
ing any period since. There are in
dications besides that some critics
were getting tired of all this legal
jargon, Decker, for instance, who
writes:
"There is another ordinary at
which your London usurer, your
stale bachelor and your thrifty at
torney do resort-the price, three
pence; the rooms as full of COM
pany as a jail. If they chance to
discourse it is of nothing but stat
utes, bonds, recognizances, fines, re-
coveries, audits, rents, subsidies,
sureties, Enclosures, liveries, indict-
ments, outlawries, feoffments, judg-
ments, commissions, bankrupts,
amercements and or such horrlDle

The Star Chamber.

The "star chamber" was SO called
from the place in which the court
was held in one of the rooms of the
kings palace in Westminster. Upon
the ceilings were stars, hence the
camera stellata or chamber of stars.
It was of very ancient origin and had
excessive powers, but could not pro-
nounce the death penalty. 1t was
abolished by act of parliament in
1911 during the reign of Charles l.,
but this unfortunate monarch was
sentenced to be beheaded from this
same "star chamber" London
Queen.

HEAT OF THE SUN.
Tho Theory That II Is the Result OF
Contraction.

Many theories regarding the
source of the suns heat have been
formulated by scientists at different
times. One was that as the sun was
the largest heavenly body in the
solar system it attracted smaller
bodies to it in great numbers and
that the force of these on impact
caused enough heat to make the sun
glow. When it was figured out how
much would have to drop on it every
day the amount was so enormous
that the theory was laughed out of
existence. There is no doubt,
though, that thousands of smaller
bodies are constantly falling into
the sun and producing heat.
Another was that the sun consist
ed of huge mass of burning gas.
Now, the character of a great many
of the substances found in the sun is
known, and it is also known that all
of them are in a gaseous state on
account of the intense heat, but
when it came to figuring out all the
greatest possible quantities of sub
stances necessary to combine and
produce heat it was found that the
sun would be entirely consumed in
less time than we already know it
to have been in existence.
How, tim, does the sun maintain
its heat? The theory now held by
seisptists is what is called the con-
traction theory. That is that the
sun is slowly cooling and therefore
contracting and that the enormous
pressure produced on the inner mass
by this contraction causes it to be-
come white hot and give out heat
and light. There is no serious pal
pable objection to this theory. On
the other hand, it fits in with all the
observed phenomena of the sun.
Therefore it must stand until fully
disproved or a more likely theory Is
offered. Likewise this theory IS
in accord with common sense. We
all know that pressure produces
heat, and we know that hot body
in space radiates its heat and tends
to contract, and we know that con-
traction produces pressure, so there
you are.
Not many people have any idea
as to the enormous amount of heat
that the sun sends off into space.
Our earth gets only a very small
part of it. The head of pin placed
twenty feet away from an electric
light gets in proportion to the light
on the surrounding walls of a room
about what the earth gets of the
suns light and heat radiated into
space.
Why does not the earth lose its
heat as fast as it gets it, as the
moon does? Because the earth has
an atmosphere and the moon hasn't.
This atmosphere allows light waves
to go through it to the earth, but
when the earth changes them to
heat waves the atmosphere will not
let them out, except very slowly
Thus our heat is kept through the
night.
All are familiar with this prop
erty from the common dollhouse.
The glass allows the light waves to
come in and be changed to heat
waves, but it will not let the heat
waves go out. Thus the inside OF
such a place is much warmer than
the outside air.-Lawrence Hodges

JUDGE WOODRUFF.

Judge WoOdrun's resignation
comes as complete surprise. Such
a struggle was made to secure Mr.
Woodruff's appointment that his
early retirement might well cause
his, friends to wonder what the
campaign was ever begun for, since
II was SO soon done for"
During his short career in this
city Mr.. Woodruff has made very
favorable impression. He has not
been called upon to handle any
very difficult cases of law, but what
he has done he has done well. His
attitude in community affairs has
been one of readiness to join the
workers in any capacity where he
could do the most good.
Consequently Hawaii will have a
very pleasant memory of the Judge.
The people wish him health. wealth
and happiness, believing of course
that comparatively short time will
elapse before the lure of Hawaii will
be so strong that he cannot resist It..
