PASSING OF BILLIONS.
The Yardstick For Measuring Space Is
One liqht Year.

The Yardstick For Measuring Space Is
One Light Year.
If you were asked the distance from
San Francisco to London you would
not say so many inches, but would give
1t in miles. If asked the distance from
the earth to the sun the answer would
be in millions Of miles. If asked the
distance to the nearest star the answer
would not be in millions or billions, but
trillions Of miles. Even this reply
would be too long. Twenty-Five mil
lion million miles twenty-five trillion)
are too many words, so 1t is shortened
to light years. The yardstick for space
is not billions or trillions, but one
light year.
This is the difference traversed in
one sidereal year, 31,55S,149 seconds,
by light moving with it's set and fixed
specific speed of 1S6,3S3 miles per Sec
ond Distances traversed by space
energy. given by time as in minutes,
hours or days, would soon run into
cumbersome trillions, so that the time
interval used in physics, mathematics,
electricity, etc., is always one second.
Say one second. Then while you are
speaking radiant energy has traversed
a distance nearly equal to line long
enough to reach around the equator of
the earth eight times.
Twenty-Five thousand billions, the
distance Of the nearest known star, is
condensed in 4.26 light years. This Is
the passing of miles, for the mile in
space is about equal to the one-mil-
lionth part of the thickness of spid-
er's thread in comparison with the
length of the room you are in.
Draw a scale with the distance in be-
tween the earth and sun equal to three
inches, then the distance of the near
est star would be thirteen miles. Space
traversed by miles per minute would
be almost without meaning, for to go
out to the nearest star sun at one mile
per minute would require 47,52S,O00
years, not days.-Edgar Lucien Larkin
in New York American.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
At SMALL COST
A Simple Remedy Beauties
the Hair. Cures Dandruff,
Stops Falling Hair.

What a pity it is to see so many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and lustre if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty-fve years
of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg-
ling hair, either full of dandruff or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil. Fl
You can bring back the natural color
of your hair in few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
atoms common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color of the hair; and Sulphur is recog-
nized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment of hair and
scalp troubles.
If you are troubled with dandruff
or itching scalp, or if your hair is
losing it's color or coming out, get
fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist, and notice
the improvement in the appearance of
your hair after few days treatment.

When he left for the Naval academy
his mother gave him a framed copy of
the Lords Prayer and instructed him
TO hang it over his bed. He complied.
Notwithstanding the fact that the rules
OF the academy forbade the placing Of
decorations in the rooms An inspec-
tor demonstrated with him and ordered
him to remove the prayer. Evans
swore that he would smash the face of
the first man who touched it. The in
spector referred the act of insubordi-
nation to the commandant, who took 1t
up with the secretary of the navy.
Evans wrote home about the episode.
1t got into the papers. An indignation
meeting was held in his home town

In the end a special dispensation was
granted, allowing the cadet to keep his

Being Nirginian. young Evans was
urged by his mother to throw in his lot
with the south when the civil war
came. This he declined to do, so it fell
out that he and his brother fought on
opposite sides during the civil war
On one occasion Robley Evans entered

A Willy Mockinq Bird.

A naturalist tells OF drolI exhibition
Of fun evinced by a hooking bird. 1t
had only recently been captured and
was placed near another cage in which
were two canaries, both excellent sing
ers. The hooking bird at first seemed
to be struck dumb by his voluble
neighbors; but, as it turned out after
ward, he was only biding his time.
For several days he remained silent,
taking notes, until he had mastered
their song, when one day, without even
a preliminary rehearsal, he burst out
into a canary song in a loud, ringing
tone that struck his yellow throated
neighbors mute with establishment
After this 1t was a favorite amusement
of his to drown the voices of the ca
naries with his own loud notes when
ever they attempted to sing.-Detroit

A PROBLEM IN FIGURES.

II Scared the Mathematician, but the
Women Solved 1t.
One day a teacher of mathematics
went shopping with his wife. He tag
ged along listlessly from counter to
counter until they came to the dress
trimmings department, and there he
found something in his line. Said his
wife to the saleswoman:
How wide is that gold spangled
black Grape"
"Three-eighths of a yard" said the
girl.
How much is it a yardY
Three dollars"
We'll" said the professors wife,
how much of three eighths wide ma
terial will it take to put four six-inch
strips around a two and three-quarter
yard skirt that is seven inches mar
rover at the knees than it is at the
bottom, and how much will it cost?"
At the first mention Of those figures
the professors head began to reel, and
it reeled still more when his wife and
the girl got out pencils and paper and
began to do their sum. Presently his
wife said:
Here, dear; you know all about
mathematics. Help US solve this prob
lem, won't you?"
But the professor said: Excuse me;
l feel faint; l must get a little fresh
air." and ANONYMOUSLY fed.
His wife came home with exactly
the amount of material required, and
the professor took her word for it that
she didn't pay cent too much.-Phila-

Origin of the Annual Match Between

ueckde The race was rowed in slow,
heavy boats, built with high sides, and
square oars propelled the crews along.
No enthusiastic crowds lined the
banks of the river all along the course,
and no evening papers, giving the re-
suit Of the race, sold in hundreds Of
thousands all over the country when
the race was over. Yet this was the
beginning Of the most popular racing
event in the rowing world-the Oxford
and Cambridge boat race.
The boats used by the Fights in those
days were clumsy and uncomfortable.
Sliding seats were unknown, and the

craft were weighed down with heavy
metal keels. Outriggers-the extended
parts of boats gunwale, that give a
greater leverage-were also unheard
Of, for it was not until 1886 that they
were introduced by the university
crews. In 1857 keelless boats were
adopted. and sliding seats were used
in them in 1873.
Oxford did not adopt the dark blue
that is so well known today until 1885,
