THE TALE OF THE TOWN.

There was very small town
which was looked upon with pride by
the inhabitants thereof 1t was a
very small town, perhaps only viii
lage, but the people thought much
of the place. They We're wide awake
for its future. They looked upon it
as the nucleus of fair-sized city,
The town contained two stores and
in little Offices were one or two doc
tors and lawyers and a real estate
man. But there was one trouble
They were friends with each other
only in name. The store keepers
supplies were very small and the
other people in the town bought
their supplies in the big cities. Soon
one of the stores failed. TOO much
competition" the people said.
Later the other store failed. This
was the beginning of the end. The
whole town was soon wiped away.
The merchants had contributed to
the support of the others fut they
had failed to help him in turn.

A JANUARY DAY.

The man whose ears have beer
frost-bitten can hardly be expected t
throw any fits of rapture over thi:
weather We have been having. Per.
haps it is the particular thing We
were praying for last July when the
thermometer was bubbling abou,
the 100 mark and not enough wind
stirring to start an aspen leaf to
quivering. But We didn't think how
cold zero weather really is.
To the man who, warmly clad. can
follow his frozen breath about over
the snow and enjoy it. January
weather has its allurements. There il
an elfin-like drapery in the woods,
where snow hangs crusted from
limbs of trees, weighs down bushes
and hides the barren ugliness of
rocks. White as winding sheet and
finely powdered, the snow stretches
out far as the eye can reach or dash
es up like filmy spray as you plow
through it.
With whistling force the wind
drives its stinging darts into the face
Of the traveller. 1t is a call for red
blood, for strength. courage and
hardness. On spots sheltered from
the wind the suns mellow glow is
warm and soft. Cattle seek the
sheds or the sheltered sides of straw
piles. Mankind mostly huddles near
the warmth of fires Only the snow
birds seem oblivious to the cold,
twittering and scratching over wind
swept places, gaining a living where
all seems bleakness and desolation.

The power. 10 nullify legislative
acts is peculiar to American courts.
II does not exist in the courts OF any
other land. The authority TO say
whether statute agrees in spirit
, with our written constitution should
be placed somewhere other than in
the legislature itself. Undoubtedly
the courts are the proper representa-
tives OF the people TO exercise this
power
Used cautiously and moderately
and only the clearesr cases. as it
has been used by our greatest jurists
it is fraughr with the utmost good TO
the body polite. Used wanronly and
-ecklessly. where the case is so
doubtful that the judges themselves
are almost evenly divided in opinion
il has often resulted in evil.
On numerous occasions during the
past decade our courts have thrown
almost insurmOuntabIe obstacles in
the way of betrering conditions OF
the workingman. OF improving tene-
nlenr houses. restricting night work
for women and OF employers l!abil-

The insisrenr demand for recall OF
judges is the result OF feeling that
the people must have a check on our
courts which are. in effect. the mat

BORDEAUX Is BEST MIXTURE.
Instructor Says Ii is Effective
Against Diseases of Apples.

". II. Chandler. an instructor in
the College of Agriculture. talked TO
the farmers on the mixing and ap-
plying of spray mixtures. He said
that the most important mixture is
the bordeaux, made of copper sui
phate and lime. 1t is effective
against all of the diseases of apples
in summer.
Another spray recently discovered
lis boiled sulphate. Mr. Chandler
said that this is made by boiling
about 100 OF sulphur, which makes
about 80 gallons. This he stated
has the advantage that it does not
russet the fruit but il doesn't pre-
vent all of the diseases.
For summer a spray known as ar
senate of lead should be used for
warding of insects. 1t is said to be
the best for that purpose.
In the spring he said that a CON-
bination OF bordeaux and the arsen-
ate OF lead could be used as a spray
for both the diseases and the insects
al the same time
He also discussed the making OF
self-boiled lime, which can be used
for the spraying of peaches.

Boarding Clubs at NJ. L.

The gregariOus instinct OF the
University student is nowhere bet
ter seen than in the boarding clubs
Few students like TO live alone and
20 most OF them the thought Of going
through nine school months without
a 'rOomy' is Unbearable.
For the sake OF pleasant society
and slight reduction in the cost OF
living the students get together. The

PROBLEM FOR THE SCIENTIST
How May the Energy Of the Sum-. at
Present Largely Wasted, Be Util--
izeE to Advsntaqe7

The enormous energy which is con-
stantly poured out by the sun is al
most past the comprehension Of the
lay mind.
Measurements have shown that on
clear sunny day the SUR transmitted
to the earth energy which CORES
ponded to about 7,000-horsepower, per.
acre. At present aN that is practical
ly wasted. Attempts have from time
to time been made to- utilize this snor-
nous supply of energy, bat not with
any great measure of success. IF peo-
pie only knew how to- harness it they
could, at the expense of lowering the
temperature of the earth by dsgree
or so, obtain all the power necessary
70 perform the work of the world. Only
about three-fifths of the energy sent to
she earth from the: sun is appreciable
TO the eye as light. Ii the sun we're
twice as hot as it u.s., four-tifths would
be appreciable in that way, and it it
were. still hotter tAe whole of the, en-
ergy would affect the eye as Fight.
Radiant energy is not heat; that is.
the energy Of the sun does, not reach
the earth in the for1n of heat. 1t is
not heat at all until it falls OF bodies
whose temperature can be raised. 1t
might rather be called electricity; in
fact, it is a. form OF electricity, for all
the methods used GO detect and meas
