SPEED OF SOUND.
An Easy Method of Judging the Dis.
tance 1t Travel.


There Is an old saying that il You
can count five between the fash and
the thunder you are safe Modern
science tells US that il you can see the
fash at all you are safe, because IL 1t
struck you you would have no time to
see 1T. The speed of lightning is about
$50 times that of sight
The old idea was that If you could
count five the storm was mile away,
which was considered safe distance.
Sound travels at the rate Of LAP feet
q second, or 2bout mile In five Sec
onds. In order to count seconds ac-
curately many photographers start BY
saving to themselves: no one thou
sand, one one thousand, two one thou
sand. three one thousand" etc. This
gives about the right space between
each count of one, two, three, etc.. II
you stop at the number Of seconds you
want to time. With little practice
with a watch beside you this Is ae-
curate up to half minute or more
If vou see a steam whistle blowing
and note the instant 1t stops you can
count the seconds until you lose the
sound, and by allowing a fifth OF
mile for each second you can judge the
distance. The same Is true OF guus,
or an explosion, or even Of hammerine
or any loud sounds.-New York Press

WASHINGTON, May 3.--Mr. Taft's

have decided that there is just one
way 10 get rid of him. as candidate.
and that. is to deadlock the Chicago
convention.

ward his elimination.
The firm of Penrose, Root. Crane
and Smoot. are now firmly convinced
that the President Is no longer
necessary. In fact they regard that
his candidacy would be a positive
danger to the party, in view OF his
failure to win a decisive victory in
Massachusetts.
Naturally they are not going to tell
him so. as long as he can still use
his great office to draw campaign
crowds with. But ii is more than
likely that the $40 delegates still to
be chosen TO the convention Will be
SO distributed as TO make Mr.. Taft S
nomination impossible. And this dis
,ribution will be with the connivance
of tho men who put Taft into the
race, and whom up to the Illinois
and Pennsylvania disasters. were
doing their best to nominate him.
Lack Good Man.
The only thing that fogs this situa
ton is the lack of man to take
Taft's place in the race for the nomi-
nation. The fact that no one has
heen prominently mentioned. Is not
due to any secretiveness on the part
OF the senatorial bosses. II Is owing
to the fact that the Republican party
