St. PATRICK S BIRTH
DATE IS UNKNOWN
LTHOUGH ii IS well known

r LTHOUGH it is well known
IA that when the conversion of
the northern countries Of Eu-
rope to Christianity was sys-
tematically entered upon BY the early
church women exercised a remarkable
influence in securing proselytes. there
is, strange to say, no record of any spe-
cial work of the kind done by them in
Ireland While Clotilda, the queen of
the Franks, carried the faith to Clovis,
and Bertha, the queen Of Kent. and
Gisella, the queen of Hungary, were
leaders in their own countries. no Gel
tic woman's name is so identified. st.
Patrick seems to have had the chief
work, as he has the chief glory, in con-
nection with the first religious training

the early part of the fifth century. he
confined his labors to no special part Of
the country, but visited every chieftain

particularly at night, in order to
reach the nuts, of whose milk they
are very fond. They tear open the
covering of the nut at its apex and
suck out the contents. Their worst
enemies are rats, which sometimes
drive them from their burrows in
the daytime. Then they glide
among the bushes and through the
grass, agitating their pincers and
making a strange rafting sound.

An Afternoon
Miracle
How a Fearful Heart Came to
Full Courage
By o. HENRY
Copyright. 1907. by the Mcclure
Company.

AZ the United States end Of an in
ternationai river bridge four armed
rangers sweltered in little adobe hut.
keeping a fairly faithful espionage
upon the tagging trail of passengers
from the Mexican side.
Bud Dawson, proprietor of the Top
Notch saloon. had on the evening pre-
vious violently elected from his prem
ises one Leandro Garcia for alleged
violation of the Top Notch code of be-
havior Garcia had mentioned twenty
four hours as limit by which time he
would call and collect plentiful in
demnity for personal satisfaction.
This Mexican, though a tremendous
braggart. was thoroughly courageous,
and each side of the river respected
him for one Of these attributes
The day designated by Garcia for ret
ribution was to be further signalized
on the American side by cattlemen's
convention. a bullfight and an old
settlers barbecue and picnic. Knowing
the ayenger to be man Of his word
and believing it prudent to court peace
while three such gently social relaxa-
lions were in progress, Captain Nc
Nulty of the ranger company stationed
there detailed his lieutenant and three
men for duty at the end of the bridge.
Their instructions were to prevent the
invasion of Garcia. either alone or at
tended by his gaag.
Travel was Sight that sultry after
noon. and the rangers swore gently
and mopped their brows in their con-
venient' but close quarters. For an
hour no one had crossed save an old
woman enveloped in brown wrapper
and a black mantilla. driving before
her a burro loaded with kindling wood
tied in small bundles for peddling.
Then three shots were fired down the
street, the sound coming clear and
snappy through the still air.
The four rangers quickened from
sprawling. symbolic figures Of indo-
lence to alert life, but only one rose to
his feet. Three turned their eyes be-
seechingly but hopelessly upon the
fourth. who had got nimbly up and
was buckling his cartridge belt around
him. The three knew that Lieutenant
Bob Buckley in command would allow
no man of them the privilege Of in
vestigating row when he himself
might go.
The agile, broad chested lieutenant.
without a change of expression in his
smooth, yellow brown, melancholy face,
shot the belt strap through the guard
of the buckle, hefted his skies in their
holsters as belle gives the finishing
touches to her toilet, caught up his
Winchester and dived for the door.
The three relapsed into resigned in
ertia and plaintive comment

VARIETIES OF HEAT.
Curious Effects Of Beams Of Light I'm
der Different Conditions.

o0T OtHctSuk SOH0tttOuSs
To the ordinary layman heat is
heat, with no variation save in in
tensity. Yet science says that sew
eral varieties Of heat exist and
starts in to prove it. What will heat
one thing will not heat another,
while some things are susceptible
to nearly all kinds.
Take a glass lens and focus the
light from an electric arc upon an
air thermometer several feet away.
An air thermometer is made of
glass and air and tells ordinary tenn
peratures as well as any kind. 1t
will be found, however, that this
beam Of light has no effect on it,
does not raise it in the slightest.
The explanation is that the glass
lens stops all heat waves that affect
glass, while the intervening air
stops all waves that affect air, SO
when the beam gets to the ther-
mometer it is powerless as far as
heat that affects glass and air is con-
cerned. Yet if you put your hand
in the focus a blister will be burned
in short order, or if the bulb of the
thermometer is painted black this
will get hot and send the index up.
Warren tells Of an experiment by
means of which a strong and very
hot ray was sent through cake OF
ice without melting the ice par
ticle. 1t was done by interposing a
transparent tank of water between
the lens and the ice, the water tax
ing all the heat capable Of affecting
water or ice and becoming hot it
self, while the ice remained undis-
turbed. Yet gunpowder may be ex-
ploded by means of the rays trans
mitted through ice.
Nearly all heat from the sun will
pass through glass, but it has been
found that from white hot platinum
! the glass absorbs one-fourth OF its
total heat. The most astounding ex-
pertinent was made with copper
heated to whiteness. 1t was found
that the glass through which it tried
to 90 absorbed nineteen-twentieths,
allowing only one-twentieth to go
/ through. /
As is well known, heat from the
sun comes through glass with facil-
ity into room and heats up objects
in the room. The objects change
this heat to dark rays, and it cannot
get out again. If glass transmitted
majority Of the heat waves from
hot stove we should most certainly
have to have winter rooms without
windows or else lose all our heat.
Along the same lines is the method
of the earth in retaining the heat of
the sun through the night. The at,
mosphere allows almost all the suns
heat to pass through to the earth,
but there the waves are changed
and cannot get out.
A possibility OF some interest IS
1 pointed out by Warren. 1t is that
some planets that do not receive so
much heat as the earth may have
different kind Of atmosphere which
keeps in more heat than does ours
and therefore can have as great
temperature as ours. If We kept all
the heat the sun gives rs We could
not live on this planet. for the
amount would accumulate div ~

His Great Nose.

There was a certain exciseman in
Shrewsbury who was very trim and
neat in his attire, but who had bot
tie nose of more than usual size. AS
he passed through the school lane the
boys used to call him "Nosey," and
this made him so angry that be COM
planned to DR.. Butler, who sympathiz-
ed and sent for the head boy, to whom
he gave strict injunctions that the
boys should not say ''Nosey'' any more.
Next day, however, the exciseman re-
appeared, even more angry than be-
fore. 1t seems that not boy had said
"Nosey," but that as soon as he was
seen coming the boys ranged them
selves in two lines, through which he
must pass. and all fixed their eyes in
tently upon his nose. Again DR.. But
ler summoned the head boy and spoke
more sharply. You have no busi-
ness" said he, Ito annoy a man who
is passing through the school on his
lawful occupation. Don't look at
him" But again the exciseman re-
turned to DR.. Butler, furious with in
dignation, for, this time as soon as he
was seen every boy had~covered his
face with his hand until he had gone

Tinkleman's
Joy Ride
He Was Thankful When 1t
Was Over
By CLARTSSA MACkIE
Copyright by American Press Asso-

Paul Tinkleman had possessed the
handsome red touring car for ten days
aud he was still under instruction from
the mechanician when he was intro
duced to Helena Judd. To say that
he immediately fell in love with her
will explain what follows.
The morning after his meeting with
Miss Judd Paul went forth to take his
sixth lesson in the operation of the
machine. He had reached a point
where he could run the car along de-
serted stretch Of country road with
Dibbs, his instructor, standing on the
step beside the steering wheel. Tinkle-
mans method in every undertaking
was slow and sure, and he usually won
out in the end. 1t was very likely
that when Dibbs had impaired his last
lesson to the young man Paul Tinkle-
man would know more about the run
ming of motorcar than the expert
himself.
This morning of the sixth lesson
found them running easily along just
the sort of deserted suburban stretch
that Paul liked. Close by was small,
red painted building plastered with
colored posters.
"Is that the little shop where you
bought the cigars the other dayT
asked Paul Of his instructor.
EYES," replied Dibbs.
"Please run in and get some more,
will you? My pockets are empty"
Dibbs jumped down and entered the
building. Almost Immediately he re-
turned.
"No one but boy inside. He says
his father is up at the house yonder,
and as he doesn't appear to want to
trust me in there alone I'll go up and
rout out the old man myself"
Paul, wrapped in huge fur garments,
leaned back and enjoyed the crisp au-
tumn air with it's balm Of sunshine.
Morris tribune., 1911-10-06

'wILL YOU PLEASE TAKE ME BACK ?"
Suddenly he heard motor horn, and
there swept past and then backed to a
standstill beside him a limousine con-
tanning two ladies. One Of them was
Helena Judd, and the other was her
hostess of the night before, Mrs. Par
sons. Paul was out Of his own car
and beside their door in an instant.
"Oh, Mr.. Tinkleman, I'm sure you're
going to be perfectly dear and help me
out Of a mess" began Mrs. Parsons in
her excited manner.
Command me-" said Paul promptly
and was rewarded with a smile from
Helena
"Im trying to get Miss Judd to the
junction in time to catch the lilo
train for town, where she has an i'm
