is. They cannot believe that it is
really filled with an invisible medium
squirming everywhere in vortex-mo-
ton more fine grained than any waves
of light or atomic structure, COM
pletely frictionless, yet powerful en-
ough to swing the spheres of the uni
verse.
The force by which it holds the
moon in its orbit would tear asunder
a steel rod 400 miles thick and pos
sessing a tenacity of forty tons to the
square inch. If the moon and earth
were connected by steel instead of by
the forces of this apparent emptiness,
a forest of five million millions of
weightless steel pillars each a square
foot in cross-section would be neces-
sary to whirl the system.
#%%
To swing the earth around the sun
it exerts a force that would tear assun-
der million millions of round steel
pillars each thirty feet in diameter.
Yet this is nothing to the case of
double stars. In one observed by
Professor Pickering, the Lull of two
equal orbs on each other is 100000
times greater than the pull of the sun
on the earth.
Evidently, it can bear the weight"
not only of radioplane, but of VERT,
able freight trains towed behind
them, from the earth to Mars and
back again.
On Mars men get accustomed to the
lightness of their bodies and the ia
cility of their movements. Everything
weighs three times less than on earth !;
whence the muscular force of a per
son is three times greater. One step
will carry man three, and you can
easily jump twelve, fifteen, eighteen
feet.
In the midst of Argyre Island pyl-
one rises 300 yards into the Marian
air. Antennae spread from it's top
like gigantic umbrella. 1t is almost
a duplicate of the Kongo pylone.
And they go back and forth con-
tinually.
Men enter a waiting radioplane. The
crystal door is shut Theoretically. The
chief takes the directing needle, while
mechanician lowers a lever. The
antennae of the radioplane lash out
like whips and become rigid, as waves
from the pylone strike them. The ra'
dioplane rises balances, floats an in
slant, and dashes off at five miles per
minute to the limits of the Marian
atmosphere. There, all danger OF
friction being passed, they let it be
projected with it's bolide speed OF
$4,000 miles per hour, and exactly
seven days, seven hours and seven
minutes later it slackens and descends
through the layers of our atmosphere
above Africa, in the region of the
Belgian Kongo, twenty degrees east oil
west, on the equator-or whereabouts
Would not the world flock to see
lit?
Meanwhile great secrecy is oh
served.
1t is a most extraordinary PROPOSE
ton, unexpected and Supplying. Car
it be possible?

ing machine does that, in some in
stances, with any number of checks,
not only by single operation for
both columns, but by one motion of
its mechanism. 1t beats the greatest
achievement of the old bank clerk
hollow.
The work of these machines is
quite elemental compared with that
of some other mechanical arithmeti-
clans. There are machines that cal
culate to fifteen places decimals, and
will carry out the most formidable
computations in ever so many modes
of notation.
Mechanical caIcuIators.
The clerical stats of many of the
big insurance companies have of late
years been considerably reduced by
the employment of mechanical cal
culators. One of these, the invention
of a German, is a compact little af-
fair, resembling a music box. 1t may
be made to perform almost instanta-
neously the most poretntous sums in
addition, subtraction, multiplication
by one or two factors, division, squar-
ing and cubing. 1t is required, for
instance, to multiply 531, 975 by 924.
The first factor is set by touching
little knots representing 531,975. To
multiply the other factors you turn
a handle four times, push along a
slide one place, and turn the handle
twice; then push the slide another
place EDWARDS and tuv1 the handle
nine times. The long multiplication is
now done without the possibility Of
error so far as the machine is con-
cerned, and the dial shows 951 ,544,-
900. In the same mechanical way may
be done all the other arithmetical
processes.
Among the latest of the applications
of mechanism to work is that which
has hitherto required the exercise of
some little brain power, such as the
cash registers; but still newer and
far more remarkable piece Of
mechanism is one intended to do
away with the necessity for any brain
cudgeling over many shop counters.
This is certainly a very interesting
piece of work, though the makers are
I careful not to explain or exhibit the
internal working of it. It is a scale
which not only shows the weight of
goods put into it, but the exact value
of the goods at any price per pound
to which rate pointer may be set.
Thus, if the pointer be set at II
cents per pound, and two pounds,
seven ounces of meat or anything
else be put into the scale, the indica-
tor on the dial will instantly show the
correct charge to the customer; or,
if customer should wish to spend 81
on certain article at so much per
pound the scale will show precisely
the weight that the purchaser should
have for the money.
The mathematical faculty has often
been said to be the lowest of the in
tellectual powers, and it is certainly
curious to see it's functions being thus
taken up by mechanism in so many
directions.

physical comfort as this is known and
sought for by the animal man, and II

year when they are admitted within
the doors of these sanctuaries OF

of the poet did not inclrde humor.
In his characterstically impassioneo
way, Shelley was deeply interested ir
the problem of immortality. One dav

Perhaps he can tell me sometime
about the great unknown after human

He accosted the infant twice but OF

Where oilcloth is losing its shiny surface, wash as above, then dissolve little ordinary glue in pint of hot water. At night go over the whole carefully with fiar.- nel dipped in glue water.

 The personnel of the police force is of the very best, and it is believed that the taxpayers are in favor of giving them proper recompense.

Seon after the beginning of the liq- uor license year of 1910, the first in the annals of the town of Westerly |, it was reported that the license fee of sI0o was excessive and that many who had taken out licenses would be glad to retire from the business if they could only get their money back It is a fact, however, that although the saloons are not located in the most conspicuous and most traveled streets they have all managed to get by and it is quite probable that all holders If
 liquor license will make applications for licenses for the next license year. which begins December 1.
 The town council, which acts as the license beard. has made announcement tkat applications will be received up to noon of next WedneBTay, in order that required notice can be given for hearing on the 29th, as it is desired that all licenses be issued at the very beginning Of the license year. if DOS sfrle- Permission to sell the ap- plication, pending the actual issuance of license. will not be permitted.
