last person she had expected to see there Now
for moment she stood on the threshold, her
wide gaze searching the room. Then she made
out the figure on the couch, and with little cry
sprang forward to kneel beside him. One arm
was flung over Muler's shoulders, her face
pressed to his. thought he made movement
as If to raise himself in protest; but she chung
to him tightly, and then heard him whisper
her name-LoulSe.
NOW and then, on a pleasant Sunday after
noon, my walk takes me to the street of
my old room, and then am very likely to come
upon a wheel chair with Muller in it. He no
longer wears the shabby cast-off coat, but in
stead one of decent black, and his useless legs
are hidden by shawl The shadow of low
pulled hat mercifully softens the outline of his
withered face, and his dark eyes look out on
the world, as it seems to me, with wiser gentle
ness. Behind the chair, her rosy picture of a
future forgotten in the work of teaching music
in a small school nearby, walks the woman l
once heard play the violin. And with these two
often stop to exchange a word.
l like to see her put hand on his shoulder
when she speaks to him, l like to watch her
bend over him to catch his whispered word
They are the little ways of a mother and |
know she is thinking of the DAYS when he fooled
her with tales of the fine tailor he had become
of how easy it was to send her the money she
needed and she was trying to learn to be the
great violinist upon which her heart was set
And each time l leave them it is with fresh
wonder; for they have not yet done with their
fooling, and never will be. To Muller, that
night he heard her play, Louise stood upon the
threshold of great career, and if was to tell
stand why called critic And if | told
her, / am not sure that she would understand,
either. But then, perhaps, such happiness as
theirs is made of these things.

she met his stern gaze fearlessly with courage
IN her eyes.
He could not understand her in the least,
unless she still had more to do, and thought to
hold his friendship still, perhaps for Searle's
protection. He forced himself to probe in that
direction. "And you'd wish to go being
friends?"
1t was hard question: hard to ask and hard
to answer. She colored anew; but she did not

elemental to shrink at a crucial moment. 81

1t was aggravating to have her seem so hon

spare himself or her.

WHAT he meant, in the light of the letter
as she had written it to Glen, as she
thought he must have read it, was beyond her
comprehension. She had fondly believed he
loved her. He had told her SO in actions, words,
and kisses. What terrible secret deep hidden
in his breast, could possibly lie behind this
thing was more than mind could fathom. Or
did he scorn and loathe her now for having Sue
cumbed to his love? He had read her confess
sion that she loved him more than anything

this!
She cast one frightened. inquiring look at his
face. 1t was set and hard as stone. The light
in his eyes was cold, an accusing glitter. She
felt herself utterly abashed, utterly belittled,
shamed. Her heart had lain naked before him.

For moment she stood there attempting to

|.kM2, Science
b IiliveTntion|

DR.. A, w. Lee of the University of
California recently made a strong plea
for the better education Of students of
science in the principles of drawing
and coloring, or, in word, graphic
art. Often, he says, a mere description
In words is inadequate to convey a
clear picture Of an object, for instance,
in zoology. But few students and few
professors know enough of art to en-
able them to make correct representa-
tions. 1t is frequently important to
employ color. but this can only be done
by one who has artistic as we'll as
scientific training.
The British Museum contains a very
curious chart made by natives of the
Marshall Islands. A framework of
sticks supports a series of diagonal and
curved rods which represent the swells
produced by the prevailing winds
Shells fixed at intersections of these
rods show the location of the islands Of
the group. Comparison with modern
charts shows that the location of each
island, with reference to its neighbors,
is indicated with considerable accuracy,
but the distances are not so correctly
shown. This, however, is no great dis
advantage for the native navigators,
since the constancy of the winds at GER
tain seasons enables them to steer by
the swells alone.
An exhibit that arouses much curl
osity at the American Museum of Nat
ural History, New York, is model of
the solar system, formed Of electric
light bulbs moving upon almost invlsl-
BILE wires. This exhibit has recently
been improved The sun is now rep
resented by an Illuminated globe three
inches in diameter. The orbits of Mer-
curry, Venus and the EARTH and a part
Of the orbit of Mars, are included in
the large foyer on the ground floor.
Parts Of the orbits of Jupiter and Sat
urn, and the remainder of that of Mars,
stretch across adjoining halls. The
planets are moved along their wire or
bits from day to day, and glimmer like
stars in the air.
Artificial graphite is generally made
from coal broken into pieces the size
of peas. Anthracite coal is better than
brown coal for this purpose. A fine
quality Of graphite is obtained from
the coke left at the bottom of stills
used for cracking petroleum, and
known as petroleum coke. The process
Of manufacture consists essentially OF
heating to an enormous temperature in
an electric resistance furnace. In max
ing crucibles, and other articles, of ar
tifelal graphite, It is not necessary, as
with natural graphite, to grind up the
material and then shape 1t into the de-
sired forms with the aid of a binding
agent. The articles are first made into
form from some amorphous variety of
carbon mixed with silicon or some
other metal or mineral capable Of form
ing a carbid and afterward converted
into graphite. The purity OF the gra-
phite depends upon the time that 1t
remains in the furnace very fine,
unctuous form of artificial graphite
makes an excellent lubricator, specially
valuable because, containing no water,
1t produces no rust.

TARIFF BILL PASSES HOUSE
1t Is Now UP to the Senate to Make
Amendments and Changes.

On the whole, the tariff bill, as pass
ed Friday by the house, adheres con-
Sistently to the republican principle of
protection.
Out of the conflict, the west has
emerbed with moderate degree of pro
lection for its staple products, with the
exception of hides, which are placed on
the free list. Lumber, wool, lead and
barley all have some degree of protec-
ton.
The senate tariff bill, so far as rates
are concerned, is complete, but it was
decided that in making a report Chair
man Aldrich will announce reserva.
ton on certain important schedules for
future action. These reservations will
include hides, steel, rails, wood pulp
and crude petroleum.
Chairman Aldrich asserts that the
senate committee had made a more gen.
eral revision of rates than was done by
the house committee on ways and means,
and that reductions had been made on
greater number of articles. This did
not mean that there would be reduc
ton of revenues, but there would be
recommended bona fide revision down
ward of the tariff.
While the principal fight on the final
passage of the Payne tariff bill by the
mousse was on the lumber schedule, the
only change made was elimination of
the proviso for a countervailing duty
AS 1t stands, the schedule now provides
Tor duty of 81 per thousand feet on
ordinary sawed lumber, as against So
under the Dingley law.
In cases in which the lumber is planed
or finished, an, additional duty of so
cents per thousand is provided on each
side treated. Hewn timber or rough
TIMBER, such as is used in making spars
or IN building wharves, is made duti-
aoie at the rate of one-half a cent per
cubic foot.

Seven Hundred Millions Wasted.
One way to provide new food is to
save what we have. An apple or a
grain of corn saved Is an apple or a
grain of corn gained. Upon all the
growing products of the earth an in
cessant war Is waged by hostile insects
aid plants. Some of these pests are
animal-flies, mites, caterplllars, ETC.
Others like rusts, mildew, bunt, smut
and mold are low forms Of plant life.
But whatever their nature, origin or
method of work, the total destruction
wrought by these pests amounts IL the
United States to no less than seven
hundred million dollars annually.
Now, seven hundred million dollars
may not be a large sum, though It com.
pares measurably with out total annual
national expenditures and Is more than
six times all the interest annually paid
on all mortgages on all the twenty
billion dollars worth of farms In the
United States. But, IL we could save
these seven hundred million dollars, we
should increase our total income from
farms by almost fifth, and we could
easily increase the population fed by
some ten or twenty millions.
We have already begun In this way
to save good many millions. We
have drawn upon chemistry, we have
Invented sprays and washes, fumigators
and insecticides, and have used them
with varying success. Sometimes we

Riverside, >Cal.-Like flash, and as
inexplicably as it had left him, the
memory of the past life of Florin G.
Lee came back to him April 3, after a
complete lapse lasting since December
80. On that date Lee disappeared
from his home and was found several
weeks later in Los Angeles working
under another name at new employ
ment, with no recollection whatever of
his life in this city. All efforts of his
father and other relatives to awaken
him to consciousness of his former self
were fruitless, until he was taken to
the dry goods store where he had been
employed for several years. His recol.
lection was almost instantly restored.

REMOVE BAN ON CIGARETTES
Indiana Anti Law Has Been Repealed
With Proclamation.

Cigarettes came from under the
counter throughout Indiana Sunday and
took prominent places in tobacco and
drug stores for exhibition as articles
for sale. 1t is true that, although cigar
cites have been under the ban of a
strict anti-cigarette law for four years,
they have, nevertheless, been sold on
the sly to any person known to the
dealer. By the repeal of the anti-cigar-
cite law, which went into force at noon
Saturday with the proclamation of
Governor Marshall, it has made legal
a business that was being carried on
illegally. This law was as strict as
could be framed.
