A Test For EYesiaht.

An interesting rest for eyesight may
be had by observing Ursa Major-the
Great Bear-on clear starlit night
Not every one is aware that Mizar, the
second star in the constellation, is n
double star. To observe this doublet
demands good vision Some starry
night look mp TO the sky and see if you
can rest content in the knowledge that
your eyesight is not defective.

OF course the House had an un-
doubted right to kill Senator Lairds
bill to increase the governors salary,
but there are two sides to the argu-
ment. To be governor of Vermont
nowadays, takes all a mans time IL
he does his duty. and the present
salary and allowance for expenses
does not meet the expense forced up
on man who fills the Office Of Cover
nor in this state. Back during the
campaign we heard a good dea,
about millionaire governors. OF
course a large share OF that talk was
somewhat exaggerated, as campaign
utterance is likely to be, but the
fact remains that Vermont has had
only one poor man governor in many
years and he practically bankrupted
himself in trying to live up to the
standards forced on him by the posi-.
ton. If the people of Vermont wish
to continue to choose their governors
wholly from the wealthy c,ass and to
debar a poor man from holding the
office, then the action of the House
will be approved. IT. however, the
citizens of Vermont want to be able
to elect their governors with a view
to ability and regardless of wealth
they should at least be willing to pay
mans reasonable expenses while
in office and that was all the Laird
bill provided.

Omaha Telegram to the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat.
The young men of Omaha are to be
protected from the alleged suggestive
dresses now worn by up to date women.
The Omaha Woman's club has entered
the lists as a masculine protector and is
going to make an effort so to create pub
lie sentiment as to effect a change in the
STYLES. The campaign against modern
tight dress will not begin until Septem-
Der. and In the meantime, when the Oma-
ha men go out on the street they Will be
expected to cover their faces or wear
binders.
The regular fall sessions of the Wom-
ans club do not begin until next month.
hut last week several prominent members
of the club decided that things had gone
about far enough and change must be
brought about.
''Not so much for the good of the wom-
en- themselves, as for the sake of the
S1en," said one of the members, to an
other one who was not sure that the men
needed protection of that sort.
The "antis' won the day. however. ana
the campaign is all mapped out. All the
dressmakers in town will be visited by a
committee and will be asked to discour-
age the making of certain dresses. The
merchants will be implored not to pur-
chase women's clothing which Is objec-
tionable to the club. And even the WON
en- themselves when seen In streets wear
ing clothes that attract the attention OF
every man within a block. will be asked
to 60 home and change to more modest
attire.

Brightness of Stars

From the Chicago tribune.
NJ Nordmann, of the Observatory OF
Paris. has made some interesting cal
oulations of the intrinsic light of num-
Der of stars, based on the results he had
previously attained In regard to their
effective temperatures.
The brightness of star as seen from
the earth, does not depend wholly upon
tia sizo and distance. Thus M. Nordmann
fnds that Sirius and Vega emit light, the
br,chtness of which Is 100000 c. p. per
square centimeter, while at the other end
OF tho scale the light of Aldebaran
amounts to only 1900 c. p. per SQUARE
ceftirneter.
The intrinsic brightness of Vega Is. ac-
cording to this calculation 10 times that
of the sun. If Vega were OF the same
s,yc ns Aldebaran and at the Same dis
tance from, the earth the former would
appear to us over 200 times as bright as
tho latter.

Two weeks later the original two were
augmented by the arrival of two more.
After another fortnight yet another two
came. In rapid succession two more
pairs were added.

Many Uses for Sawdust

From Answers
The family man who occasionally in
dulges in home carpentering knows full
we'll how sawdust seems to work into
every crevice, to cling to ones clothes
and to make itself a general nuisance.
But despised though sawdust may be,
it is byproduct with many uses. Used
as an absorbent for nitroglycerin, 1t pro-
duces dynamite. Used with clay and
burned it produces a flreproof brick that
makes excellent and very durable ma
terial for building work.
Sawdust mixed with some suitable
binding material and compressed makes
splendid moulding and imitation carvings
while If mixed with Portland cement II
produces a most lasting material fol
floors.
Hollow walls that one desires to make
soundproof or proof against frost may
be packed with sawdust and as a mate
rial for protecting fragile articles in
transit there is nothing better.

HISTORY OF WEAVING.
Art That Originated With Chinese,
How u Ramifici

From the New York Sun.
An early stage of weaving In its de-
vcloppent artier to that whcr spin
ming threads had been invented is
represented by the loom or frame
used by the natives of Sarawak to
make textile with shreds OF grass
The shrcds Of grass for the warp are
divided into groups by flat, sword
shaped implement The shuttle Is
passed above II, leaving weft OF
grass in between the warp. The bat
ten is then moved upward and COM
presses the welt into the warp. This
method of pressing the weft into the
warp was employed by Egyptian and
Greek weaVers.
Some of the weaving IN lndin at
present shows an advanced stage
where the weavers are spun thread.
m loom is fitted with rudely con
structed hoddles by which the weav-
ers lift and throw alternate ranks of
warp threads so that they may throw
the shuttle carried wcft across and
between them. Besides the heddles
there is n hanging reed or comb, and
between the reeds OF II the warp
threads are passed and fastened To a
roller or cylinder This advance in
the obstruction OF the loom Is OF
undatahle age and except for more
substantial construction there is little
difference in main principles between
Il and the medieval loom.
With such looms and by arranging
colored warp threads In a given or
der and the weaving into them color
ed shuttle or welt threads simple tex
tiles with stripes and checked pat
terms are produced; but textiles o.
complex patterns and textures neces
state the more complicated apparatu:
which belongs TO later evolution o.
the loom
A Chinese book on the art OF weav
ing intricate designs was published
in 1910. but the traditions and rec
ords OF such figured meanings are fal
older than the ho'k The world Il

knowledge of figured shuttle weav'
