BRYAN LOOMS UP
AS THE NOMINEE
POLITICIANS THINK 1T POSSIBLE
SHOULD ROOSEVELT
WIN.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 25.-The Wis
IL of William Jennings Bryan TO
Washington yesterday and his con-
ferences with the various party lead
ers here, particularly in the senate,
was followed by widespread discus
sion of the possibility that the dis
tinguiched Nebraskan might again be
the democratic candidate for presi-
dent.
Mr.. Bryan frankly stated to inter
viewers that he was not candidate
for the nomination in any sense of
inc word, and it was difficult for him
to conceive of any circumstances un-
der which he might be a candidate.
He said there were plenty of other
progressives in the party from whom
selection could be made.
Decpite these public utterances
some democratic senators today In
discussing their informal talks with
Mr.. Pryan were inclined to the be
lief that under certain conditions Mr.
Bryan would not decline the nomina.
ton.
In short, the impression left was
that II Col Roosevelt should be the
republican nominee Mr.. Bryan would
like once more to take the field
against him.

together with number of small
pieces of wood, steamer chairs and
other wreckage. AS the cable ship
,,MacKay-Bennett was in sight, and
having word that her mission was to
look for the bodies, no attempt was
made by the Bremens crew to pick
up tile corpses.
In the vicinity was seen an iceberg
that answered the description of the
one the Titanic struck. Smaller
bergs were sighted the same day but
at some distance from where the Tt
tanic sank.
Ire officers of the Bremen did not
care to talk about the tragic spec

OF the dismal panorama through
which their ship steamed
Mrs Johanna Stunke, a first cabin
passenger, described the scene from
the liners rail.

Saturday" she said, when our ship
sighted off the bow to the starboard
ali iceberg. AS we drew nearer and
could make out small dots floating
around in the sea feeling of awe
and sadness crept over everyone on
the ship.

of the soUthernmonst drift of the

Remember you don't have to be

Passing Of Billions
By EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

IL you we're asked the distance from
san Francisco to London, you WOULD
not say 80 many inches. but would give
Il in miles. II asked the distance from
the earth to the sun. the answer would
A be in millions Of miles. II asked the dis
tance to the nearest star, the answer
would not be millions or billions. but
4trillions Of miles. Even this reply would
/ be too long. Twenty-Five million million
miles twenty-five trIllion) are too many
words, so 1t Is shortened TO light-years.
.Yhe yardstick for space Is not billions
Z Or trillions, but one light-year.
This Is the distance traversed in one
sidereal year, Sc, 55S.1is seconds. by light
moving with its set and fixed specific
speed Of 1855 miles per second. Distan-
tes trayersed by space-energy, given by
sime as in minutes. hours or days, would
<soon run into cumbersome trillions. so
Mat the time interval used In physics.
mathematics, electricity, ETC.. is always
one second.
Say one second. Then while you are
speaking radiant energy has trayersed
o distance nearly equal to line long
enough to reach around the equator Of
the earth eight times.
Twenty-Five thousand billions. the dis
lance of the nearest known star. IL con-
densed In 4.2S light-years. This is the
passing Of miles. for the mile in space
Is about equal to the one-millionth part
of the thickness Of a spiders thread
an comparison with the length Of the
room you are in.
Draw a scale with the distance In be-
tween the earth and the. sun equal to
three inches; then the distance Of the
nearest star would be thirteen miles.
