atoms found in commercial lifc.-men who
DO Just what they are told TO do, nothing
more or less. faithful honest methodical,
the despair Of every Office and store.
Il had often heard Of the literal quality Of
the German mind, said Mr.. Morgan, and
while in Berlin had a personally delivered
sample Of it one morning. went to'a Jew

ing the one wanted | wrote on Il piece Of
paper the inscription | wished engraved on
the bowl, Berlin. 1907. A. | started TO
leave the store the German clerk called me
back and asked for a deposit. gave him a
mark. making note of the fact on the paper
upon which | had written the inscription.

Curious Transference of Heat

Mock Suns

THESE are similar in point OF origin 70 tne tn!e-
L mirages Of the desert, only they occur IN
the Arctic circle. As the long winter nght oi
the polar region wanes, once every twenty
four hours a Slight glow is seen at some poiinit
on the horizon Often accompanying thi,a
glow is seen the phenomenon OF the mock
suns. Several degrees up IN the heavens as
many as five Of these spectral orbs nave Deeii II

for the real god Of day, and natives rejoice at
the early end Of the long winter night only
to be disappointed as the image disappears.
The explanation Of the phenomenon IS
given By physicists as refraction and rehec-

The sfas':G5sa saker;Gi5sda Coffee

Baklr-i.ing improves coffee in three dis
tinct ways.
First, the coffee berries are split open by
a special machine and the chaif Is blown
away as waste.
Coffee chaff can be seen in any coffee
when ground. 1t is an impurity and con-
tains tannin. Brcwed alone it is bitter and
weedy. 1t doesn't help the coffee flavor,
and is not good for the human system.

Divers Heats

TO the ordinary layman heat is heat, with
no variation save in intensity. Yet
science says that several 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
temperatures 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 slight
est. 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
thermometer il is emasculatcd as far as heat
that affects glass and air Is concerned. Yet
if YOU put your hand in the focus q 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

Absorbing Heat

A n interesting instance Of the application
n on large scale of the principle. that
black colored substances readily absorb the
heat of the sun, is seen in the case OF a toll
road in California.
This toll road from Truckee to Lake Ia
hoe is closed early every win.er by the inn
mense snowfall, which in places is twenty to
thirty feet deep AT the beginning OF spring
the owner of the line has black dirt scattered
along the surface Of the snow where he
knows that his hidden road runs. The layer
of dirt is not made 50 thick as to cut of the
sunlight from the snow completely. The
effect is described as wonderful. In a short
time a long depression is formed in the snow,
and DAYS before the ground is clear on either
side stages are running on bare ground.

Zoo . Dartice II was done by interpoSlng a

Nearly all heat from the sun will pass

Observation-Disclosures, allowing only Onc-twen-
tieth to go through.
As is well known, heat from the sun comes
through glass with facility into a room ana
heats up objects in the room The objects
change this heat to dark rays, and 1t cannot
oct out again. If glass transmitted MAJOR
itv 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 atmosphere allows
almost all the suns heat 10 pass through 10
the earth; but there the waves are changed
and cannot get out. ....a
A possibility Of some interest IS pointed
ont bv Warren. It is that some planets that
do not receive so much heat as the earth
NAV have different kind Of atmosphere
which keeps in more heat than does ours
and therefore can have as great a teinpera-
ture as ours. If we kept all the heat the sun
gives us. we could not live on this planet
for the amount wouldaccumulate day by Day
until uni it became unbearable: The planet
Mars is a notable instance. It receives only
about one-thousandth the heat the earth re- re-
ceiy,s ut observations 60 to show that It's

Mrs. Astin said in part:
I'VE assemble this afternoon for the
first meeting of the new session, 10
renew the social intercourse and mu-
tual helpfulness We have enjoyed In
the past. l trust we have come with
the firm resolve to be faithful in at
tendance and in all duties assigned
us. for without the cooperation of the
entire membership no club can be a
success. Every whole is made up of a
number OF parts, and, remember, each
individual in this club is a part that
forms the whole, and is absolutely es
sential to its perfection, so let no
member think my non-attendance, my
interest, my influence is of no conse-
quence," for this feeling, my dear
friends, is the destructive spirit in all
organizations, and not the living force
requisite for the progress Of the club
you have obligated yourself to uphold
by the mere act of entering your name
upon its roster.
Mrs. Croley, the author of Club
History, has said: TO me club life
has always been an ideal--the coming
togetherness of it, the united woman
hood growing out of it--these have
been the stars that lighted all the
way. 1t is not to make leaders, or
satisfy ambition, but to furnish oppor-
tunity to develop women who are
bound for the best things when they
know what the best things are Sure
ly the club women of Texas know
what the best things are for better
laws, better homes, better schools,
cleaner and healthier towns, the num-
Der of public libraries, the number OF
scholarships for poor girls, and other
philanthropics too numerous to men
ton testify to this fact. {.

Bishop John H. Vincent said: TO
me, 1t seems, clubs are so allied with
home life in civic, domestic and phil
anthropic enlightenment that no good
mother can afford to lose the train
ing
with Bishop Vincent, ! believe ey-
cry woman should join some improve
ment club, be ii musical, literary o.
patriotic organization, and should re-
feet its benefits in her home by be-
coming more enlightened, more toler-
ant, more sympathetic, to fulfill the
duties OF wife and mother. The mis-
take women make is in Joining too
many clubs. Be faithful to one. or
two at most, and there will never be
woman recreant to the duties of home.

he has never known before, some
thing that will help him on his way
and enrich his life Where is there
to be found a greater opportunity for
this helpfulness. this enrichment of
life, than in the home, district and
state meetings of the federated clubs?
"In addition to what we individually
receive from clubdom, there is great
satisfaction to feel one lis even a small
factor in the worlds building process,
so let us renew our work with enthu-
siasm for the Give and educational
uplift of our community.

AN UNJUST KNOCK.

Some one in Walla Walla is either
ignorant of conditions in Pendleton
during the Roundup or else has taken
an envious knock at this city. In a
story concerning accommodations in
Walla Walla during the fair that is
now on the Morning Union said mo
such conditions as prevailed in PEN
dleton at the Roundup where hun
6reds walked the streets or slept in ILL
provised beds are desired here"
1t is not true that hundreds of peo-
pie walked the streets of Pendleton
because they could not secure accom-
modations, Though the city handled
over 10000 outside guests so elabor-
ate were the preparations for their ac-
commodation that there were beds left
each night. No one had to go with
out sleep from necessity. The ac-
.commodation headquarters, with avail
able rooms, was in plain sight of all
visitors If strangers failed to so to
headquarters to secure accommoda-
tions the fault was with them, not
with the city.
Pendleton, is well able to care for
enormous crowds and this fact has
been proven on many occasions. Pen
dleton has more hotels and restaur-
.nts than has Walla Walla-a town
larger in population-and at times
like the Roundup the people are
ready to throw their homes open to
the visitors and do so.
Don't boost yourselves, gentlemen,
by knocking Pc-G!ctoc.
