LIaht Pressure.

Prof. Arthur Schuster, who has
been studying the effects of the scat
tering of light by atmospheric mole
cules. finds that the force concerned
is Identical with what is usually
called the pressure of light" There
is, he says, widespread impression
that light pressure acts only on parti-
cles the linear dimensions of which
include several wave-lengths Of light;
but this is not correct. The determin-
ing factor is the extinction of light.
whether by scattering or absorption.
Since propagation Of momentum &C
companies the transmission OF light,
the momentum is destroyed whether
the molecules act as scattering or as
absorbing centers. The extinction by
scattering near the surface Of stellar
bodies does not, however, appear to
be sufficient to cause any measurable
effects comparable with their gravita-
ton

LARGEST SCRAP HEAP.
Twenty Thousand Tons Of Old Iron
In a Single Pile In San Francisco.

Twenty Thousand Tons Of Old Iron
In a Single Pile In San Francisco.
The largest scrap heap in the world
is in San Francisco. a relic of the
great fire which followed the earth
quake of April. 1906. It is 40 feet
high. 100 feet square and contains &C..
Coo tons, all cut in equal lengths OF
eighteen inches, and piled in one
solid mass, with the sides as smooth
and solid as a brick wall.
This is the only one OF four heaps
Of equal size and proportions which
remains intact in its original size and
shape, the other three having been
drawn upon as the material was need
ed. Many other scrap heaps are piled
about the bay awaiting shipment,
some as big as q house and others
mere hillocks, scattered over acres Of
ground.
Since the fire one company has
handled $50, 90 tons of this old ma
terial. It has six large shears in
operation to cut the iron and steel,
either that II may be better handled
for shipment or for the furnace. SAYS
the Iron Trade Review. Little Of this
scrap is used in San Francisco, the
bulk Of 1t being shipped to the Allan
tic coast or to European ports.

The chance discovery of a secret
drawer in an old writing desk which
has been in the family of Charles
Beckel of Bethlehem, Pa, for genera
tions as a treasured heirloom, reveal
ed that the drawer contained an inter-
esting and valuable collection Of his
to-ical letters and documents. The
papers, a score or more, are war de-
par;ment letters, letters Of Gen. An
thony Wayne and others, and procla-
nations that date back to the revolu-
tiunary war and early days OF the

institute states that taken together
the letters form a valuable source Of
first-hand information Of an important
period in the nations history.

Could Not Meet In Russla.

A member Of the dentists congress
recently held in Berlin writes: "Our
plans as to st. Petersburg for the
gathering in 1914 failed. Not because
there was any objection to the city,
but because some of the men who
might be delegates would either not
be admitted or IL allowed to enter the
city would be uncomfortable while
there. Russia is queer about accord
ing rights of residence to former citi-
zens and to people of certain religious
views, and having this in mind Lon

in accordance with ancient custom,

It is appropriate that Chertsey

Iapanese wood for sIeepers.

The Atchison railroad is about to
experiment at Great Bend, Kan, with
cocobolo and Japanese oak as material
for sleepers. This wood is so hard
that it is almoet impossible to drive
spikes into 1t, and screw spikes in
bored holes will he used. It is expect
ed that the sleepers will last from 25
to 30 years. They cost a trifle more
than the American oak delivered in
California. The reason for expert
menting with them is that native oak
is becoming scarce, and it is deemed
wise to look in time for a substitute.

National HOLIDAYS.

There is no National Holiday, not
even the Fourth of July. Congress
has at various times appointed special
holidays. In the second session Of the
Fifty-third Congress 1t passed an act
making Labor Day public holiday in
the District of Columbia. and it has
recognized the existence OF certain
days as holidays for commercial pur-

there is no general statute on the sub

It is a popular fallacy that the first
love Is the true one, unique in its ex-
ceilence, says an exchange. As well
say that the first picture OF painter
is the best of all he will paint in the
course Of his life; that the first speech.
the flrst book. the first statue, the first
composition, will be the best OF the
statesman. novelist, sculptor or must
clan, as the case may be. First works
have all the imperfections Of uneer-
tainty. OF inexperienee and ignorance.
And It is rather by chance than by
anything inherent In the nature OF
Cupids ways that the first love turns
out TO be the great one.

The Rare cift Of Courtesy.

Courtesy includes not merely social
kindness, graces of speech, absence OF
business associates and Of all the fel-
low citizens with whom a man of af-
fairs may have business to transact.
1t is not American to keep one citizen
waiting all day at the door because
he is poor, and to grant another cii-
zen an interview because it is believed
he is rich. Wisdom is not confined
in purse, and frequently much wis
dom may be learned from poor man.
