DISCOVERS KEY TO NATURE.
Four Geometric Units Compose All
Known Forms.

Four Geometric Units Compose All
Known Forms.
Los Angeles, May 12.-Philip w. T.
R. Thompson has set local scientific
circles agog by claiming to have dis
covered the fundamental forms upon
which the entire physical world is
reared.
He asserts that chemistry, the vege-
table and mineral realms and mathe-
mates in all its stages have their
bases in certain fixed and unvarying
forms, which are only four in number.
Explaining his new science, which
he termed stereometry, before body
of Southern California educators, yes
terday and today, Mr.. Thompson de-
clared that with the four units, which
he illustrated with wood models, he
could produce any geometric shape now
known and many never dreamed of.
There was no limit to the minute
ness or to the colossal proportions of
the creations built of these forms.
Combined in octaves or in series of
seven, he said, they interpreted nature
in its infinite variety from the tiniest
molecule to the mightiest sun.
Mr.. Thompson said that there was
no form of crystal, snowflake or any
geometrical conception which he would
not produce with combination of two
or more of his four units.
Mr.. Thompson labored nine years to
bring his discovery to its present state.
He says he devoted 20 hours of every
day to the task.

Boat is Made of Concrete.

Washington, May lit will puzzle
most people to know that a boat built
of concrete will not only float, but has
a greater carrying capacity, is more
durable, and even lighter than a
strongly constructed wooden boat.
The Panama Canal commission has Just
launched on the banks of the Panama
canal a big barge built of reinforced
concrete. which weighs 60, 600 pounds,
and two others will soon be finished.

A SUNNY SOUL.

She Was Missed for the Brightness
She Had DIRused.
"The Dyson girls" as Dulverton ex-
pressed 1t, "all amounted to some
thing; they had faculty-except, OF
course" it usually added, with an in
dulgent smile, Miss Winnie. She
didn't seem to take after the Dysons,
somehow. She did her best; she new
er shirked; but Lavinia Dyson's best
friend could scarcely maintain that
she was capable"
She was gone now, and the gentle,
indecisive, luttering hands had no
more tasks to do. The other Dyson
girls-elderly women all, but still girls
in Dulverton parlance-sat soberly in
the sunny parlor, in a companionable
silence, each with her task.
They were busy women, seldom idle
even for a moment. Miss Lucretia
was a leader in church work; Miss
PAMELA was a notable housewife, and
took orders for special kinds of pre-
serves and cakes and pickles; Miss
h1nllC udA WI hCQ llCL way I'LL Oh6A NOA-
lege, and was a teacher in the high
school; Amanda, the Widow Cole, had
done her duty by three children of
her own and a half dozen stepchildren
before she joined her sisters in the old
homestead.
Abruptly Miss Lucretia laid down
her scissors. Il don't believe any one
of us would have been missed so
much," she said. "It's-Pm ashamed
to say it's coming to me as surprise.
We knew what Winnie was; we knew
what she meant at home, and, thank
heaven! we loved her for it, and she
knew we did; butt never even
guessed what she meant to other peo-
pie.
"The things that everybody is say
ing-the people who stop me In the
street" She broke off to master her
voice, and finished with a sudden lit
tie sobbing laugh Of pride: Winnie
was an influence in the community
And how amazed she would have been
if any one had told her sol"
II know! l know!" assented Miss
Anne "Im finding it out, too; and
I've been trying to make out just how
it was She didn't do much-or say
much, even, but she was always so
and she always took it for
granted everybody wanted to do the
best thing the best way-she never
wasted time or strength on worries
or resentments, or suspicious, or pet
illnesses. People were somehow
ashamed not to behave the way she
expected them to-"
'Yes," agreed Miss Lucretia, "and
then they liked her so much; nobody
could help that, and Of course that
made them want to do what she want
ed. She was always SO pleasant"
my girls adored her; they thought
there was nobody with such ways and
manners as Aunty Winnie" murmured
Amanda. Young people never seemed
to feel the bar Of age with her; she
seemed so happy"
"Ah, that was it," cried Miss Anne.
81 think it was her way of gathering
and passing it on. Seemed
happy-she was happy! She didn't
need to do things like the rest Of us.

Washington, May 9.-The Republi-
can party no longer dominates con-
gress. While nominally in control of
the senate and house of representa-
tives, the Republicans, as matter of
fact, constitute today hopeless minor
ity, powerless to legislate as they
would; powerles to carry out the will
of the administration. Both branches
of the nationl legislature are in the
hands of a party made up of Demo-
Gratis and Republican insurgents, and
but for the steadfast regularity of Pres
ident Taft, they would have control of
the entire government.
The situation is without a parallel
in recent years. What it will lead to
not even the boldest politicians predict.
Nobody knows. Certain it is, how
ever, that the breach in the Republi-
can party has opened so wide that not
even the president, the great pacifiea-
tor, can now bring the warning fac
tions together.
In the judgment of some of the older
Republicans, there is only one solution
of the great problem-to relinquish the
government for the time being to the
Democrats, and fight out factional
in the Republican ranks un-
til one element or the other is EXTERN
mated.
AS showing the need for reorganiza-
tion of the reclamation service, which
Secretary Ballinger has announced will
be accomplished as the certain result
of his remaining in the cabinet, the
criticisms of the service

Also Mr.. Ballinger has made plain
the duty of congress to pass the $780,
900, 900 bill to enable the government
to hasten the completion of projects
which have been long delayed.

Washington, May 1O.-"Water COM
petition is felton," declared Senator
Hepburn, of Idaho, in the course of a
speech in support of his long and short
haul amendment to the interstate COM
merce bill.
His declaration was made in re-
sponse to an interruption by Senator
Briggs, of New Jersey, who had set
up the argument that transcontinental
rail rates were necessarily affected by
water competition, an argument that
did not meet the approval of the Idaho
senator, but which brought forth the
foregoing answer.
Without single dissenting Republi-
can vote, the house today passed the
railroad bill, one of the chief measures
which President Taft wished enacted
at the present session of congress, by
200 to 126.
Fourteen Democrats joined the ma
jority. President Taft tonight said
that he was deeply gratified over the
passage of the measure. He was es-
pecially pleased with the comfortable
margin by which the commerce court
feature was kept in the bill, for he re-
CARDS this court as probably the most
important step in the proposed law.
Referring to the clause providing for
the physical valuation of railroads, Mr..
Taft pointed out that the power now
practically rests with the Interstate
Commerce commission. and that the
difficulty in carrying out such plan
always has been found in the enormous
cost of the undertaking.
Just before adjourning today, the
senate adopted a substitute for the
resolution directing an investigation
of abuses of the franking privilege,
which was introduced yesterday by
Senator Stone, of Missouri. The sub
stitute authorizes an investigation into
the special case covered by the Stone
resolution, which had reference to the
circulation of pamphlet in defense of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
