The handspring Of watch does not

jerk at every tick-four times per sec

times per year. This operating condi-
ton is analogous to others discussed
in Kent's Mechanical P0cketbOOk'
under the heads of Relation Of the
Elastic Limit of Endurance Under Re
peated Stresses and Resistance Of
Metals to Repeated Shocks" Among
other things it says:
Another long known result Of ex-
perience is the fact that rupture may
be caused by q succession Of shocks or
impacts none of which alone would
be sufficient to cause it. Iron axles,
the piston rods Of steam hammers and
other pieces of metal subject to cOnttn-
uously repeated shocks invariably
break after a certain length Of serv-
ice. They have a life which is lin
tied"

SENSATIONS FROM
AERoLPANE TRIP.

"All who have the good fortune to
ride in an aeroplane," said one of 'em
the other day, unite in their descrip
ton of their first sensation. There is
no jerk in starting, though the ma
chine may leap forward with a pow
erful swoop. Then comes, with some
a brief sensation of nausea, a feeling
as if the ground were dropping away
from beneath.
"a single thrust of the lever lifts
the flying machines head, the ground
drops away still faster. Then, as the
aeroplane scars still higher, its occu-
pants eyes adjust themselves to the
proper focus and the surface of the
earth below seems to be ripping past
at railway speed.
by this time you have forgotten
the clack of the noisy motor, the flap
and whir of the propellers,. the grind
ing of the chain and sprocket gear
that drives them. All vibration has
practically ceased and you float along
with a sense of springy ease and
buoyancy such as you can gain from
no other means of locomotion That
you are flying fast you know only by
the roar of the wind in your ears and
the slight difficulty you have in fillin
your lungs with air-the same sensa-
ton one gets in racing against the
wind in an automobile on a.Ssood
highway.
Then comes the first turn. The
machine rises to it, taking its own
angle sideways just as an automobile
leans on the banked curve of an au-
tomobile track. You have no sense
of leaning sideways. though-no feel
ing that you must tilt yourself as you
do when an automobile turns a cor
ner, for you sit upright, the aeroplane
slanting of it's own volition to the
necessary angle and slanting you wit
it.

of the flyed could be carried round a

WHAT WOULD
YOU CALL IT
New Vegetable Growing Experiment
Produces Peculiar ResuIt-"Lemon
Cucumber" New Product of spo-
kane Man.

George E. Brown, orchardist and
truck gardener at Spokane Bridge.
nsar Spokan, Wash, has succeeded
in spSwing what he proudly terms a
lemon cucumber" This product
which is neither wholly fruit nor
vegetable. but combination of both,
is the result of a series of experiment.
covering the last six years following
graduation at the agricultural de-
partment of the University of Wis
cOnAn. The lemon cucumber is al
mOz s1herical, but larger than lem
on, and besides having a thick skin
and unusually sweet meat, it is en-
tiTely free from the qualities of pro-
ducing i'll effects upon the stomach.
Pomologists and ranchers in the
vicinity of Spokane say that Brown
has produced an original novelty,
which will have commercial value
for years to come, while experts at
the experimental stations in Wash
ington and Idaho recognize the freak
as a new product, which ranks with
anything so far accomplished by Luth
er uBrbank. That one acre of young
orchard land with the cucumber grow
ing between rows of trees yield fully
$500 worth of the product, for which
there is a ready market at Seattle,
Portland, Tacoma and Spokane, indi-
Gates its value in a new industry in
the Spokane country.
Brown allows the cucumber to reach
certain size, saying that an ad-
ditional days growth would spoil
the value of the product as to taste
and nutrition He will plant ten acres
to the product next spring, when he
will also enlarge his acreage Of
brown sugar corn, with which he
made striking success this season.

THE PLANETS.

hibit Phases Like the Moon.
We are likely to regard the moon as
the only thing In the heavens that ex-
hiblts phases such as the quarter. the
half and the full As matter OF fact,
all planets and their satellites exhibit
separately such phases, and most OF
them can be easily seen with small
power telescope. Thus Mars and We
nus, which are comparatively close to
the earth, show through the telescope
at times a beautiful crescent, at others
half planet fully as brilliant. consid-
ering the distance, as does our satellite.
At times also the planets suffer eclipse.
just as the earth. the moon and the
sun, and these ecllpses are fOretod
with as great accuracy.
As to just what causes the phases.
say Of the moon, is easy to comprehend
by a homely analogy. If one stands IN
a corner OF a room, places a glo0e Of
some description in the next corner and
a light In the third corner the phenom-
enon Of the half moon is seen. The
light, representing the sun, shines OF
course on half the globe representing
the moon. but the observer in the cor
ner sees only half Of the surface 70
ward him illuminated. II now the light

little above his head a full rlOon will
be seen, the "sun," however. shining
on the same area Of surface as before.
merely allowing this time a view from
the earth" of the whole amount OF
illumination. All the phases can be
demonstrated IN this manner by NOV
ing the moon" directly outward from
its corner.
One Of the greatest discoveries OF sci
ence Is due to observation OF the
eclipses Of Jupiter's moons. 1t was
found that when the earth was 10 the
part Of its orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes
earlier than when it was IN the far
thermost part. whereas by all rules OF
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time. 1t was
deduced from this that light was not
instantaneous and consequently took
sixteen minutes to traverse the diam
eter of the eartt's orbit. a distance Of
about 2OO,OO0,O0O miles, thus giving to
light a velocity of $4,000 miles a sec
ond, which was accurately shown later
by other exper;ments.-St. Louis Re

Why LINCOLN GREW A BEARD
Amusing and Pretty Little Story of 9
Wee Miss Who First Suggested
Il to Him.

There are thousands of authentic
portraits and pictures of Abraham
Lincoln in existence today. When he
was a young lawyer in Illinois, rid
ing the circuit" in the country dis
tricts of that state, he was photo
graphed by local photographers hun
dreds of times, and gradually, as he
became famous in politics, his picture
was taken many more times by expe-
rienced and skillful photographers in
the larger cities, each one of them at
tempting to excel the other in the
best likeness, of the man who was
occupying so much attention through
out America and Europe, says writer
in Pittsburg Dispatch. Naturally, too,
during mis- administration, and as a
successful close, he was not only
snapped, but caricatured at every pos
sible phase-from the sublime to the
ridiculous.
During Lincoln's presidential cam
paign he received letter from a Ger.

must not be bulky, as they would be
uncomfortable, but they must be styl-

lustrate is certainly very attractive.
The front has group of tucks at each
shoulder and the regular box plait clos
ing down the center. In the back the
tucks extend all the way to the waist
line, and are stitched their entire
length. The shirt sleeve is used and
is finished with the shirt cuff The
waist is suitable for French flannel,
taffeta silk, or any of the wash mate
rials. The pattern (5163) is cut in
sizes 32 to Al inches bust. To make
the waist in medium size will require
three yards of material 27 inches wide,
23s yards SO inches wide, or 1B yards
Al inches wide.

to Pattern Department" of this paper.

"You See, Grace, I've Let My Whis-

"You See, Grace, I've Let My Whis-

tain small Miss" expressing very
frankly the opinion that she thought
he would look much nicer with "whis-
kers." The child's naive simplicity
evidently appealed to him, for he at
once began to cultivate" them.
Several years after Mr.. Lincolns
death, the incident, by many people
considered a myth, became known in
detail, and was found to have an ex-
ceedingly substantial basis. The lit
tie girl in question was Grace Bedell,
who lived in Westfield, Chautauqua
County, New York. Her father, who
was stanch Republican, was a great
admirer of his party's choice for pres
ident in 1860, and one day carried
big campaign poster home with him.
On the poster was a picture of Lin
coin and Hamlin, around whose faces
was an appropriate border Of rail
fences. Little Grace examined the
picture carefully, and then exclaimed:
''Mr. Lincoln would be twice as good
looking If he had whiskers like you,
papa"-over which opinion the family
had a hearty laugh.
But the child was mortified at their
mirth and at the fact that her remark
was being made a Joke of when she
was in dead earnest about the matter.
In the privacy of her room she deter
mined to write to Mr. Lincoln herself,
feeling sure that he would not mis-
| har ha,
| family had.
Imagine her astonishmen:, when, in
the latter part of October, a letter
came to the village postoffice for
Grace Bedell, with signature which
said, Your very sincere well-wisher,
| A. Ljrcoln." The letter was as fol-
| lows:
My Dear Little Miss-Your agree
able letter of the 18th Is received. l
regret the necessity of saying that l
have no daughter. / have three sons;
one II, one and one years of age.
They, with their mother, constitute my
whole family AS to the whiskers,
never having worn any, do you not
think people would call it piece of
silly affection If began wearing them
now?
Your very sincere well-wisher,
A. LINCOLN.
The letter didn't exactly promise he
would follow her suggestion, but ap-
parently he took 1t to heart and acted
on 1t shortly afterward. He evidently
kept the girl In mind all the time, too,
for when he arrived In Westfield on
his campaign tour he asked from the
platform whether .here was small
miss In the audience named Grace
Bedell. When the surprised girl was
brought forward Mr.. Lincoln climbed
down off the platform, took her up
in his arms and, kissing her. said:
you see. Grace, I've let my whis-
kers grow for you"
And thus 1t has gone down in history
that 1t was on account of a child's re-
quest that Mr.. Lincoln grew whis-
kers." The little girl, Grace Bedell.
