PLATINIZED GLASS.
It Produces an Odd and Tricky Kind
of Mirror.


PlatiniZed glass consists Of d piece of
glass coated with an exceedingly thin
layer of a liquid charged with plati-
mum and then raised to a red heat.
The platinum becomes united to the
glass in such a way as to form an odd
kind of mirror.
The glass has not really lost its
transparency. and yet if one places it
against a wall and looks at it he sees
his image as in an ordinary looking
glass. But when light is allowed to
come through the glass from the other
side. as when it is placed in window.

ordinary glass.
BY constructing a window of plati
nized glass one could stand close behind
the panes in an unilluminated room
and behold clearly everything going
on outside. while passersby looking at
the window would behold only a fine
mirror or set of mirrors in which their
own figures would be reflected while
the person inside remained invisible.
In France various tricks have been
In one a person seeing what appears
to be an ordinary mirror approaches it
to gaze upon himself. A sudden
change in the mechanism sends light
through the glass from the back. where

and the startled spectator finds him

How Leap Year Started.

Hampson. in his "Medu OEVI. IA
landarium.' quotes the following
quaint tradition from an old Saxon
treatise: Some assert that the bis
seNtus or leap day comes through this.
that Joshua prayed TO God that the
sun might stand still for one days
length that he might sweep the hea-
then from the land that God had grant
ed him and his followers. 1t Is true that
the sun did stand still for one days
length over the city of Gebaon. bu.
the day went forward in the same
manner as other days And the bis
sextus is not through that. as some do
think
In France and some parts of Spain
and Portugal there exists a tradition
known as the ghost of leap year"
Believers in this say that marvellous
monster annually appears on leap day
and disarranges human affairs for the
remainder OF the year.

THE WHITE NILE.
Mr.. Roosevelt's Description Of Night on
the Great African River.

We had come down through the sec
ond of the great Nyanza lakes. AS we
sailed northward its waters stretched
behind us beyond the ken Of vision. to
where they were fed by streams from
the Mountains of the Moon. On our
left hand rose the frowning ranges on
the other side OF which the kongo
forest lies like shroud over the land
On our right we passed the mouth Of
the Victorian Nile, alive with mon
strous crocodiles and It's banks barren
Of human life because of the swarms
of the fly whose bite brings the tor
ment which ends in death. AS night
fell we entered the White Nile and
steamed and dri:ted down the mighty
stream. Its current swirled in long
curves between endless ranks of plum
ed papyrus White and blue and red
the floating water lilies covered the
lagoons and the still inlets among the
reeds. and here and there the lotus
lifted its leaves and flowers stiihy
above the surface. The brilliant trop-
ic stars made lanes of light on the lap
ping water as we ran on through the
night The river horses roared from
the reed beds and snorted and plunged
beside the boat ard crOcOdiles slipped

Toward morning a mist arose and
through it the crescent of the dying
moon shone red and lurid. Then the
sun famed aloft. and soon the African

stretched on every side in simmer
ing glare Of heat and light, and ahead
of us the great. strange river went
twisting away into the distance. -

ANTI-PASS LAW is
CALLED A GOOD ONE
(National News Association

San Antonio. Texas, July 12.-Accor-
ding to an Interpretation of the attor-
ney generals department, the last leg
islature of Texas builded better than it
knew when it amended the anti-pass
law. Previous to this amendment, ev-
cry one who rode on the cars in the
state had TO pay cash. The law as am
ended gives newspapers the right to
enter into contract with the road to
take mileage in exchange for advertis-
ing. For a time it was maintained
that the law gives only owners and
prOprieOrs of newspapers the privilege
OF riding on newspaper mileage. The
attorney-egenral however, holds that
under the law any one employed by
newspaper may ride on such transpor-
tation. The contract provides for an
exchange Of transportation on a basis
OF dollars and cents and the legal
department of the state ridicules the
idea that the owners or publishers of
newspapers may not do what they
please with such transportation.
SO far as the newspapers are con
cerned. the law as amended is quite
as broad in the privileges granted as
that in force before the present law
was made some years ago. with the eX-
ception that the contracts must be APP
proved by the railroad commission.
thus eliminating many who secured
railroad mileage under the cid regime
in this state.

may FESTIVAL HAD
A LITTLE DEFICIT
Final Report on Finances
Was Submitted by the
Special Committee.

The executive committee Of the May
Music Festival made its final report
to the Board of Directors OF the Com
mercial Club at it's meeting Monday
evening The outcome was not flnan-
cially what 1t was hoped for as the
committee was obliged to report defi-
cit. The total receipts were Sl46S.5O
and the total expenses s1479.70 making
the deficit s11.2O. The receipts for this
year we're s5355O less than last year.
The loss of patronage was attributed
to several causes. Three important ev-
ents took place in May previous TO the
Festival, the Grand Army encamp-
ment, Earlham May Day and perform
ances of Ben Hur" The week Of the
festival proved also to be a bad one
from a weather standpoint. NOtWith-
standing these hindrances the commit
tee was disappointed in the lack Of
response on the part of citizens to
such high class and meritorious en-
tertainment, as it believed II deserved
from the standpoint of local pride in
the institution that has received such
high praise in the musical world, For
the artistic side of the festival the hi
CHEST praise Ia due, as a new high
standing was set. The board discharg-
ed the committee with thanks.
The board of directors also took ac-
ton on the attitude of the school
board toward general musical develop
ment. The facilities freely furnished
for rehearsals at the high school
building, and other courtesies offered
were commended in the following res
olutiOn:
I'VE desire to recognize and COM
mend the liberal policy on the part OF
the school board in promoting musical
education in this city. The employ
ment of such able talent as we have in
Professor Earhart as Supervisor of
Music is not only an advantage to the
schools. but his services in connection
with all musical movements of the city
makes him valuable asset to the
whole community The school also
affords opportunity for the develop
ment of talent wherever 1t may APP
pear irrespective OF financial circum-
stances. The expenditure for instru-
ments and music for this purpose have
been wise, and most excellent results
have been attained. The use of the
high school assembly hall for rehears-
al of the various musical organiza-
tions has opened up new possibilities.
THE great reputation our city has
made for itself in the culture of mu-
sic found its impetus in the public
schools.
Therefore. Be 1t Resolved, That the
Board of Directors of the Commercial
club most heartily indorses the policy
of the School board in providing the
excellent facilities for musical educa-
ton, and urge that the same policy be
continued In the future"
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
The board also maae present of
cash to Miss Elizabeth Hasemeier, for
faithful and efficient services as pia-
mist for the festival rehearsals.

A GEM OF POESY.
Maybe 1t Was the Heat That Made It
Burst Into Eeine.

Stewart Edward White. William
Kent and myself were hunting noun
tain sheep in the ranges of Mexican
California. Perhaps because the saw
age heat of the desert which we were
crossing had somewhat gone to our
brains we fell to making poetry upon
various aspects of desert life. White
rhapsodied upon the tarantula; Kent
dithyrambed over the pack mule; /
sang the dispraises of the jack rabbit.
Finally White, who was cook for the
day. offered special prize of duff
with. raisins the last remnant Of our
store, for the premier verse to be
turned out before sunset. At noon we
met up with wandering prospector.
who introduced himself as J. Noel
Benson. native son of California, and
observed upon learning of our literary
efforts that he was some poet himself.
On being invited to enter the list he
retired to the top of 4 mesa, where the
thermometer was something like 10

WOMEN FOR JURORS
4 Question Which Now Con-
fronts Spokane.
National News Association

Spokane, Wash. July 12.-What to
do with women who will be called to
serve as jurors with men when the
Spokane county superior court con-
venes next September. is one of the
veXing problems confronting the five
members of the bench, headed by
Judge Henry l.. KEENAN,. The various
clubs in Spokane have given out state
ments that their members are ready
and willing to do jury duty. The iudg
es hore modern Solomon or Portia
will come forward to unravel the tan
giles presented by these possible sit
uations:
If IL women are selected to try
case and six disagree from the other
six.
If four women decided they are right
in a civil action and six men jurors
hold opposite views
If mixed jury of men and women
is kept together in felony case until
all are agreed upon verdict.
If six women and six men are lock-
ed in room to determine the guilt
or innocence of person charged with
a capital crime?
Relating to service of jurors in the
superior court the law adopted by the
legislature of 1911, says:
ANY woman desiring to be excused
from jury service may claim exemp-
ton by signing a written or printed
notice thereof and returning same to
the sheriff before the date of appear
ance, and if exemption is claimed by
reason of sex, no fee shall be allowed
for her appearance"
The law provides that the pury
sworn to try the issues in felony cases
shall be kept together and in custody
of the officers of the court except dur
ing the actual progress of the trial,
thus putting it squarely up to the
judges to solve the problem allowing
the question to solve itself, if the wo-
men who desire to serve as jurors can
not settle it themselves.
