DANCING STARS.
The Twinklers Seem to Jump When
Viewed Through a Telescope.


One of the most interesting things
appearing in the telescope when that
instrument is pointing heayenward Is
the appearance of jumping stars. Of
course we can see stars twinkle with
out Il telescope, but with Il telescope
they may be seen to jump and actual
ly 10 dance. The cause is the same
mixing currents Of light and heavy
air causing refraction or bending of
the rays Of light coming from the star.
We can see the same phenomenon by
looking ut small object in Il room
through the air directly over hot
radiator. The object seems to jump
and dance MS if playing hide and seek
with itself
This jumping in the telescope or
twinkling to the naked eye has also
been explained by what is called in
reference. If two sources Of light are
placed close to each other. then on a
screen placed properly we can catch
an alternate band of white and dark
lines. Of course if the eye be placed
at dark line it can see neither source
of light. The production of these dark
lines is accomplished by different
light waves reaching the screen in op-
posite phases so as to blot out or can
Gel the effect due to each. In like man.
ner it can be shown that If the star
has polychromatic light it can and has
actually been observed to change color
from this effect alone.
The best time to observe this effect
of star dancing is on cold, crisp
night. The telescope should be point
ed to a twinkling star as near the
horizon as can be found, rs to see a
star on the horizon we have to look
through much more atmosphere than
to see one in the zenith. and there is
consequently more chance for varied
currents.-St. Louis Republic.

STATE TICKET
Congressional

William l.. La Toilette is the re-
publican candidate and Harry d.
Merritt, the democratic candidate for
congress La Toilette is a farmer
while Merritt is a lawyer. La Fol
lette is a cousin of Fighting Bob La
Toilette, and has made a very active
campaign in the Third district. He
has every prospect of winning over
the democratic candidate because the
Third district is strongly republican.
Judicial Ticket.
The republican judicial ticket is
an unusually strong one and is re-
nomination of the five old members
Of the supreme court, consisting of
Judges George E. Morris, Frank H.
Rudkin, E. N. Parker, Mark A. Full
lerton and M. F. Gose. The non
partisan judiciary ticket consists of
C. E. Shepherd, Hans Bugge, Will
lam Hickman Moore, Preston M.
Troy and Warren w. Tolman. While
there is feeling in the state very ia
vorable to a non-partisan judiciary,
and it is hoped by the members of
the bar generally and by those who
have made a study of the situation
that the courts should be divorced
from politics, yet in order to do this
a legislative enactment is necessary
and until the enactment is secured
it is believed that any attempt TO
force the judiciary out of politics
will be unsuccessful. The republic
can nominees are all men of charac-
ter and strong men in their profess
sions, and there seems to be no rea-
son why the full republican ticket
should not be elected.

Congressman is only the humble SER
want of the progressive voter. The
said Congressman smilingly listens to
the rebukes of Taft and the revilings
of Cannon, well knowing that if he
bends the knee of supplies the back
bone to win their favor his master at
home will dismiss him without a
blessing.
The country is fast coming to the
conviction that the President and all
the influences that are behind AID
rich and Cannon have deliberately
elected to accept overwhelming de-
feat this year rather than fulfill the
promises and pledges of two years
ago. What they propose or expect
to do after this deluge is as yet dark
secret. But the outraged voters
know what they are going to do. The

It Will Be a Landslide.

The Republic cannot vouch for the
story from Washington that Presi-
dent Taft has written to an Indiana
politician and to others that the House
of Representatives to be chosen in
November will be Democratic. He
may have written to this effect, or
some people may think he ought to
have so written. The Republic is
certain only that if he did say it his
forecast of the elections Of 1910 does
great credit to his political sagacity.
But though the conclusion is sound,
the reasoning by which the President
is said to have reached it is lament
ably weak and hopelessly wrong. Mr..
Taft is looking through the wrong
end Of his field glass when he sur
veys the scene Of impending conflict
and sees in the progressive Republic

men who are driving the Republican
party to defeat. II he would reverse

So many inquiries have been re-
ceived concerning the new require
ment, agriculture, that | have decid-
ed to speak of it through these notes.
All applications for renewal will not
have to pass in the subject of agricul-
ture.
A person holding second or third
grade certificate and applying for
certificate of higher grade must
pass in the additional subjects re-
quired in Section 10940 and in the
subject of agriculture.
An applicant for a first grade GER
tificate will still have three sciences
from which to make an election
physics, physical geography and ele-
mentary biology. Heretofore the last
science named has been known as
agriculture, but in the statute it has
always been designated elementary
biology relating to agriculture.
This was not changed but agriculture
added as a requirement on all grades
of certificates. The questions will
not be the same on the two subjects.
Reading has been changed from the
second to the first day and the added
subjects will come at 1000 a. m. Sec
ond day.

Census, Washington City, has writ

The census will be taken in April
and the accuracy of the enumeration
will be greatly increased by spread
ing knowledge Of the nature and
value of the census among the peo-
pie.
Teachers can do effective service
in discussing the census with their
pupils, not only in the contributions
which they would make to the ac-
curacy of the census, but also in the
development of an intelligent interest
in the welfare of the community. The
circular will be sent to the teachers
with the hope that they will make
frequent use of the information on il
in the instruction of the people who
are within the scope of influence.

With two big tournaments just COM
pleted the tennis fans will not rest
from their labors, but will continue to
keep their rackets in working order
for the biggest event of them all, the
Southern California championship
tournament, to be held on the courts
of the Hotel Virginia, Long Beach,
August l, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. With Bundy
and Hendrick absent the dope seems
to favor the younger players, Dawson
and Mace, although Nat Browne and

about the prize distribution. Mace, the
present holder of the title, is playing
a great game and will make a hard
fight to retain the honors, although

press him to the limit.
Tennis rackets have their individual
qualities and every player appreciates
these qualities and feels like losing an
old friend when he relegates his broken
court implement to the trash pile. New
STYLES of rackets are being introduced
daily by the eastern manufacturers,
but only those which have been tried
and found true ever find place in a
player's kit unless he Is one of the
eccentric few who delve in the mys-
teries of every new device placed on
the market good, bad or Indifferent
and try to convince themselves they
are using something ahead OF the times
when they are really behind the pro-
cession. One of this most up-to-date
as we'll as reliable implements put be-
fore the players recently is the new
model Hackett and Alexander, and to
say the implement is beauty is put
ting it mildly. Although devised main
ly as a model to be used in the doubles
event, many Of the players are using
them for singles play and they are pc
coming popular with their users. Tne
majority of the players in the Pacific
states doubles event were users or TINS
model and declare it to be one Of the
best made. 1t is always a good thing
to boost the things that boost the game
and for that reason the local players
are boosting that model of racket.
