The Shadow of Science.


It Is hard to believe that shadow
Is probably the origin of all astronom.
zeal, geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured it's shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear in
the sand and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. 1t is
from the shadow Of gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
of the year. 1t is from the shadow OF
q gnomon that the inhabitants of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours OF
work for water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is a lhurra stalk support,
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south. East and west are pegs
in the ground, evenly marking the
space of earth between sunrise and
sunset. In a land of constant sun.
shine a shadow was the primitive
chronometer. 1t was also the prim-
tive foot rule.

FILIPINOS ARE
SENT To JAIL

What for We go in Jail; we have
done nothing wrong?' was the de.
cidedly pertinent enquiry addressed
to Judge VIM. b. Lymer by one of
the detained Filipino laborers this
morning, after sentence of four days
imprisonment had been passed on
twelve of them for disobeying a sub
poena of the court directing them to
attend as witnesses. It was pointed
out to the Filipinos that their offence
consisted. Of this dssoDedience but as
they silently filed back into the dock
the look of sullen amazement on their
faces spoke volumes as to their re-
sentiment.
All admitted that Detective Lake
had read to them the subpoena sum
moning them as witnesses, but they
could not understand that they had
committed a misdemeanor by not obey
ing it. However, they are now in Jail
and there they will remain for four
days, but they will all appear in court
again on Monday to act as witnesses
in the cases against the other two
Filipinos who are charged with solI-
citing for laborers without a license.

see trees with parasitic growths and
then wild bananas and bushes covered
with strange berries. Up and upNyou
go and see Ted-topped birds and lit
