MANY NEW FACES ARE SEEN
Noticeable Changes in Washinston's
Social Life at the Special Ses-
sion of Congress.

New faces-that is what one has
seen on every hand in Washington
during the special session of congress.
Lawmakers who replaced the old
standbys and familiar figures in the
nations councils are numerous, and
their families help to swell the throng
It is some years since there has been
such a general upheaval in congress
sional circles and the lucky remnants
Of the old regime find themselves
court of first resort for the new
brethren who are getting their first
experience in the ups and downs of
life at the capital.
Not content to withdraw with the
ending of their official standing, many
of the old-timers are again on the
scene, lured back no doubt by curl
osity or force of habit; yea, possibly
by a secret longing for the life of pres
uge and distinction to which through
many years they have become accus-
toned. OF the great leaders" pres
emit at the opening of this extra ses-
sion of congress there are such dis
tinguished ex-senators as Depew, AL
drich, Burrows and Hale. With all
the eagerness Of boys they returned
to their old haunts to watch the begin
ming of those men who are taking
their places.
To add to the maze of the moment,
a. mighty lively and up-to-date set of
women are to come to the fore. Most
ly representatives from the middle
west, they have the progressive view
point pretty well directed in all lines
of life and no matter how the prophets
may talk of the Same old days and
the same old ways" there is bound to
be new note struck once the incom-
ing circle get settled down in their
new homes.
Furthermore, as the ne saders,
Cummins, Borah, Bristow, IL. ollette,
Poindexter, Watson, Clark, Under
wood and Slayden, are from ten to
twenty years younger than the men
they will supplant, the little matter of
youth will have it's bearing in the So

JINGLE SANS OFFICIAL CLOCK
Located in an Underground Vault and
Protected Against Atmospheric
Changes.

This clock became the official time
keeper for the United States, Novem-
Der IS, 1883. This clock is in an I'M
derground vault that the temperature
may be as constant as possible. 1t is
inclosed in a glass case, and this in
turn is inclosed in another glass case
in order to minimize the effects of at
mospheric changes. 1t is wound au-
tomatically by an electrical arrange
ment.
The naval observatory was created
for the purpose of regulating the chro-
nometers of ships. Soon there was a
demand for accurate time from other
sources. Thence dates the Time
BALI that marks the arrival of noon
from it's staff over the state, war and
navy building. At the exact instant
of noon, by electric contact provided
by the swing of the clocks pendulum,
the time ball is released and scores of

WHY GIRLS ATTEND COLLEGE
students OF Goucher College Give
Some Amusing and Interesting
Reasons for Higher Education.

few interesting statistics were
gathered recently among the hall girls
OF Goucher college as to their reasons
for coming to college. Among forty
new students twenty were taking up
higher education to fit themselves for
teaching as life work The other
twenty had varied reasons, some
amusing and others interesting, says
the Baltimore Star. AS one freshman
put it: Pm here to get acquainted
with the east. The west, it's ways and
It's climate, I'm used to, so l want to
try out the east, see the new people,
different methods of education and the
wonderful cities and buildings I've
heard tell Of" AS an afterthought,
she added: "Of course, to get a splen-
did education, too"
Nine others had come because sis
tiers or relatives had either preceded
them or were still at college and could
make the way easier. Six "Freshies"
were enthusiastic over the novel
stunts, the new friends and the inter
esting courses that college had in
store for them, and declared their
chief reason a desire for college ex-
perience."
Five more said that the unusual op-
portunity Of pursuing musical courses
at Peabody institute and a college
course at Goucher had strongly ap-
pealed to them and Influenced their
coming. THE proximity of two such
institutions was remarkable and
rare advantage" one added. In the
last conversation, western girl, who
formerly had been at college In a
college town, said she was trying a
city college to have the experience Of
accessible and well-equipped libraries,

ington and Annapolis and the enjoy.

WHY THE TIGER HAS STRIPES
Light and Shade of Forest Well Match
ed by Skin of Animal, Affordng
Good Protection.

1t is not a mere matter of chance
that the tigers coat is marked with
its beautiful stripes of black and yell
low and that the lion is of a uniform
sandy hue, says the American Boy.
The former lives in the grassy jun
giles of Asia, where the giant blades
of grass, as many feet long as they
are inches in this country, and the
light and shade of the forest are ad-
mirably matched by the skin of the
animal in question. Hence, Il is able
to approach its prey unperceived.
Lions, the big cats Of Africa, on the
other hand, are for the most part
dwellers in the wilderness and roam
the outskirts of the desert in search
of food. Their color in these sur
roundlngs is equally protective.
There are countless examples OF
this protective coloration among anil
mails. Sometimes, as in the cases just
cited the effect is to enable them the
more easily to obtain their food. But
Il also acts in another way by afford
ing concealment to weak and timid
creatures from their carnivorous enc
mics.

A Wonderful Timekeeper.

servant of the spheres descent, go
forth to regulate their own timepieces.
1t is one of the interesting sights Of
Washington to witness people daily
at noon with watches in their hands
and their eyes glued on the war de-
partments staff. From other cities
soon came a demand for time ball, -
and now a score of them are thus sup
piled. BY cooperation with the tele-
graph companies, at the same instant
that the time balls fall, the swinging
pendulum has made automatic contact
with the electric wires that weave
their way TO every center of life with
in the borders OF the country. Electric
clocks are connected in all the cities,
and as the stroke of noon flashes over
the wires, inaccuracies are instantly
rectifed.

the hands of the two end men with a
little paste so as to form circle of
Indians holding hands.
