BRITAIN PAYS
TRIBUTE TO
I. R.

London, Oct. 30.-Nearly all the
London newspapers. including those
which frequently criticixe him. have
printed long complimentary notices
since the attempt was made to kill
him the other day. One Of the most
striking OF these was an article on
Amazing Mr. Roosevelt by Fred
erick W. Heath. which appeared In
the Daily Mail. "lh4
Mr.. Heath calls Colonel Roose-
welt mot only the uncrowned king
OF America. hut the most rcmarkabl
man In the world" and expresses
certainty that he will he elected
President. The article follows:
by his amazing act after the at
tack ut Milwaukee. Mr.. Roosevelt be-
comes not only the uncrowned king
Of America. but the most remarkable
man In the world. He is the only
man OF his kind who would have
stood before a frenzied audience and
shown them his biood-stained shirt.
"The acts. unexampled fort sheer
audacity and daring outside the
realms of imaginative drama-those
acts which those who do not UNDER
stand him dismiss as sheer bravado
will not only win for him the pres
idency. but will win him for all time

land.
Even those who believe that
L. Il = In N antrff rHf
bravado will have to admit that 1t
was the most thrilling bravado we
have ever known. But 1t was not
bravado-it was the typical action
by whose light we see as In flash

and the power of Americas greatest
man.

The WAGON Wheel Paradox.

A very interesting paradox IS the one
concerning an ordinary wagon wheel
which is solid and rigid, yet, when fas-
tened on its axle on wagon, when the
wagon moves part of the circumfer-
ence of the wheel which is in contact
with the ground is for an instant at
absolute rest, while the point directly
perpendicular to it is flying along at a
high rate of speed The two points
horizontal with the center Of the wheel
are travelling pretty fast. but only half
as fast as the topmost point, and as
The up going horizontal point increases
in speed the down going one slows up
until it is at rest for moment when
In contact with the ground. Yet the
wheel is one solid piece and there are
only two points going at.the same rate
OF speed at the same time. Yet II the
wheel is taken of the axle and rolled
down an incline every point OF the cir
conference moves at the same rate OF
speed.

The Black Of the Eye.

The invariable blackness of the pupil
Of the eye was puzzle to scientific
men until Professor Helmholtz showed
it to be the necessary effect OF refrac-
tion. Sufficient rays are reflected from
the bottom of the eye to render visible
the parts there situated. but since these
reflected rays In emerging from the
eye must traverse the same ocula
media through which they passed in
entering the eye it is evident that they
must undergo the same refraction
which they underwent as entering rays.
only in an opposite direction. The re
suit Of this is that the paths Of the
emerging and entering rays coincide.
and the former will therefore return to
the source whence as incidental rays
they originally started. There is moth
ing in the pupil to reflect light-in fact.
it resembles window looking into a
dark room

BUILT FOR WASHINGTON.
A Philadelphia House the President
Refused TO Occupy.

A Philadelphia House the President
Refused to Occupy.
The second year OF. Washington's adj
ministration the seat Of government
was removed from New York TO Phil
adelphia. In the meantime the federal
city, Washington, was in building, and
the legislature OF Pennsylvania voted a
sum of money TO build house for the
president. perhaps with some hope that
this might help to keep the seat Of the
general government In the capital. for
Philadelphia was then considered as
the capital Of the state.
What was since the University Of
Pennsylvania was the structure erect
ed for the purpose. But as soon as
General Washington saw its dimen-
sions and d good while before It was
finished he lett it be known that he
would not occupy it and should GER
tainly not go to the expense Of pur-
chasing suitable furniture for such a
dwelling. for it is to be understood in
those days Of stern republicanism no
body thought Of congress furnishing
the presidents house, or IL perchance
such a thought did enter into some
aristocratic head it was too unpopular
to be uttered.
President Washington therefore rent
ed house OF Mr.. Robert Morris In
Market street between Fifth and Sixth
on the south side and furnished It
handsomely but not gorgeously Ex-
change.
