Commas.

The French do not as rule. employ
inverted commas TO indicate a dialogue.
but they employ the dash To Indicate
a change OF speakers. which Is just as
bad Certainly many punctuation marks
are sadly misused or oyernsed Dick

Walter Pater also employed them with
extraordinary prodigalliy. frequently
before the word and" where the con.
junction rendered them supertiuous.
Pater was also overrond OF the mark

"Yes" into his measured style II must

THE PRESENT INSTANT.
Science Defines It a. the Hundrsdth
Part Of Second.

Science Defines 1t ~ the Hundrootn
Part Of q Second.
A congress Of European astronomers
decided that the present tlme-that is.
the present moment ut any particular
instant-eonsists Of the hundredth part
Of q second. This has been settled on
because these men Of science have
thought that it represented the tiniest
fraction Of time which could be appre-
ciated by the human brain. Yet the
thousandth part Of second Is actually
used in physical science. especially in
certain important uses Of electricity.
For scientific purposes. however. the
official present moment flashes from
the future to the past in the hun.
dredth part of second This cannot
seem so remarkable when it is recalled
that speed records for both horses and
men runners are officially calculated In
fractions US small as one-fifth Of Il sec
onl
But In astronomy it Is needed to
have the hundre<lth part Of Il second.
for in that moment light can travel
1000 miles. So time, which is. after all.
only figure of speech and IS mys-
terry that no hmuan brain can under
stand or fathom. must be considered
relatively to ones sensations. The
time to pull an aching tooth is really
much longer to the sufferer than a
whole night spent IN sound sleep. 1t IS
more Of the persons actual life. 1t de-
mands more food to stand the nervous
strain and the pain than hours Of quiet
rest
Time. then, for all men is relative to
their personal sensations. Yet time Is
real enough. 1t takes actual time for
starlight to travel. in some cases thou
sands of years. 1t takes time for sound
to travel and time for the electric wave
to work actual results over long dis
tances.
So that time is not only thcoretical:
1t is as real as coal and wood. Yet this
reality stretches over Il human life
time back to ages before the existence
Of the sun and the stars. For purposes
Of ordinary human work the second Is
small enough to use as standard Of
value. but scientific men have pro-
crossed so far in knowledge that the
second Is too long period for them to
consider rs the scientific instant.
Therefore they have chosen the hun
dredth of second rs the standard for
the length of time that they will con-
slider as the actual moment at any one
instant.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

eloquent over the marriage laws Of
every state in the Union, every cOun-

Of every church and even the legisla-

quietly announced his intense desire
to be informed where the deuce man
was when his wife was widow?
Then the discussion closed down and
