for the water company was over

charter amendments for the initia-
tive, referendum and recall were
Overwhelmingly carried, as well as
our proposal for a settlement of the
water question.
An amazing thing was that all OF
the fake amendments gotten up by
the machine to confuse the voters
were defeated by from Ave to fifteen
thousand majority in every single In
stance, showing the greatest intelli-
gence among the voters that has ever
been shown in an election in this
country. All of the candidates on
the Citizens ticket that we cam
paigned for who were voted for in
the entire city were elected over the
candidates of the Democratic and Re-
publican machines. both OF which
were allied with the Denver Union

When II is remembered that the
present school trustees. when they
took charge of affairs two years ago,
were compelled to borrow $4,000
at this season of the year; the state
ment that the deficit now is less
than $4,000 and the city owes the
board $500 back taxes, reflects
great credit on the citizens, who
have given much valuable time to
untsngling the financial affairs OF
the city schools.

rha Sizn of Rnindrona.

Raindrops do not always have the
same size or weight, and this is pri-
marily due to the fact that they are
not formed like, the drops Of water
that fall from a wet cloth or the spout
Of a pitcher or the drops that rush
out Of the small holes in a garden
sprinkler In all these latter cases a
solid stream of water is broken up
into drops. But the raindrOp is form
ed In the cloud by the accumulation Of
minute atoms of water drawn together
into one drop and sometimes by the
melting of large snowflake or a
solid little icy hailstone. When drop
is thus formed in the clouds it begins
TO fall, no matter whether it be large
or small. and observers In balloons
state that all sizes of drops are to be
found within the clouds themselves,
from the finest fog and drizzling mist
up to the heavy rain. 1t is commonly
said that the bigger drops fall faster
than the smaller ones and overtake
them and grow bigger This sounds
reasonable, but no one has really
proved it.-St. Nicholas.

BYRON AND The BALLOON.
How the Poet In 1922 Predicted the
Airship Of Today.

Airship Of Today.
Those who have read the fiction Of
Edgar Allan Poe will recall his won
derful story of the balloon with a pro-
pelling rudder, which. crossing the At
lantic from Europe in three days. land
ed on the coast of South Carolina.
This story was published in 1888, pre-
cedIng the flight of Bleriot from Calais
to Dover more than seventy years.
And now 1t is remarked that as early
as 1922, sixteen years before Poe. By
ron foretoId the motor.
1t was In 1922 that Byron lived at
Pisa, Italy, where he had rented for Il
year the Lanfranchie palace. and 1t
was there that he entertained Cap
tain Medwin, who on his return to
Lendon published his Conversations
With Lord Byron" One of these con-
versations is to this effect:
who can but regret" said Byron.
that he has been born two or three
hundred years too soon. Here is let
ter from a savant of Bologna who
claims to have discovered the secret
of guiding balloons by means of a
rudder and who assures me that he Is
ready to disclose this secret to the gov
ernment. l imagine that we are soon
to make journeys through the air in
stead Of sea voyages. at last to find a
way to go to the moon despite the lack
of atmosphere that FOntanelle has dis
covered there. There is not as much
madness in this idea as one may sup
pose. The sciences are now in their
infancy"
Medwin left Pisa in March, 1922
1t was near the close Of that year that
Byron published the latter parts Of
his don Juan" in which the poet
shows that he had been inspired by
the discovery Of the Bologna savant.
See the second stanza of the tenth
cante:
Man fell with apples and with apples rose.
II this be true, for we must deem the
mode
In which Sir Isaac Newton could disclose
Through the then unpaved stars the
turnpike road,
A thing to counterbalance human woes,
For ever since immortal man hath
glowed
With all kinds of mechanics, and full soon
Steam engines will conduct him to the
moon.
Byron's Don Juan" was translated
into French by Amedee Pichot in 1925;
but, daring as was that translator. he
did not venture to put Don Juan"
into rhyme, and today the foregoing
stanza done in French prose is sup
posed to be prediction Of aviation by
motor, though Byron's suggestion goes
no further than steam.-London Globe.

The Eskimos' opinion of white men
is sometimes as uncomplimentary as
the white mems opinion Of them.
Vilhjalmr Stefansson, who was the
ethnOlogist in company with the re-
cent Anglo-American polar expedition,
writes in Harper's Magazine Of his
experiences in the arctic while living
with Eskimo families, and he reports
with Eskimo as saying that white men
are as bad to travel with as babies.
Indeed, they go further and say that
white men are worse than babies. be-
cause though babies cry they don't
argue, and white men are always "giv-
ing directions about things they don't

The month of February, 1866, was
the most remarkable month in the
worlds history. January had two full
moons, and so had March, but Febru-

according to some astronomers, the
same thing may not occur again for a
period OF 2,5OO,OOO,OOO years.
