A Test for Conflicting Theories.
From the Kansas City Star.


B. Franklin listened to the debate Of
French savants whether gallon of water
weighed more with fish In 1t than with
put fish init. Then he suggested that
hey weigh the water with the fish and
and then weigh 1t without the fish. This
mike most fish stories 1t has solid
value.
Just now Oregon is preparing to weigh
the minimum wages for women fish. 1t
IS going to substitute some experiment for
great deal of theory about that ques-
ZION. In doing this Oregon will render a
real service to all the states and to the
patlon-that are all honestly striving to
solve the problem of a living wage and
ret are all honestly fearful that the rem
tdy of an intiexible minimum wage will be
worse than the existing disease.
For the United States Oregon will be
the pioneer in this experiment. Massa-
shusetts (and possibly some other states)
has so-called minimum wages law which
authorizes a commission to investigate
and recommend a wage standard in any
Individual case. But even So the COM
mission has no legal authority to enforce
its recommendations and must trust to
The effects of publicity and consequent
public sentiment
Oregons industrial welfare commission
(Which possesses delegated authority to do
IT. has dictated definite lowest wage to
be paid to women workers. 1t has fixed
minimum hours of work, so that the in
creased wage cannot be absorbed in q
larger days or weeks labor,
The working out Of the plan will be
watched with great interest everywhere
While allowance must be made for DIFF
fering conditions (of living. Of commerce,
etc) IN. differing communities and Sec
tons. still the facts. developed in the
Oregon test should be of great practical
value for the entire nation.

Afrman,s Dream.

M. Esnault, Pelterie. one of the
best-known French aviation experts,
is Of opinion that the day will come
when communication between the.
earth and the moon and stars will be
possible in aeroplanes.
Providing that radium is one day
found in larger quantities and that
some way of Harvesting it's energies
is discovered by scientists, he calcu-
lates that an aeroplane Weighing .
ton should be able to cover the 1885,
300 miles which separate the earth
and the moon in three hours and five
minutes,
About 800 pounds of radium would
be necessary to provide the fuel for
the journey At the current price
about s1O,oOO.oo0.eoo worth would be
required.
Trips to certain OF the stars he
considers equally practicable.

words, the catcher who received the
ball could go to bed, have a full
nights rest, get up and into his uni

Putting 1t another way-the train

The striking energy of Johnsons
missile was shown to be 100 foot
pounds. That means that it possessed
approximately half the force in i'm

matte pistol!
According to these figures, it takes
less than half a second for a ball
thrown by Johnson at his high speed
to travel from his fingers to catcher's
glove
That is why he bewilders even the
quickest witted batsman. He isn't
able to guess whether it is a straight
ball, an in or an out curve, drop, or
whether the sphere is going to jump

Not surprising, is it, that Johnson

An attractive design for a six
roomed house of one and half sto-
ries, comprising many desirable feat
ures. is shown in the accompanying
perspective and plans. 1t is not very
large; but fortunately, small low-cost
houses often have advantages over
larger ones. Three Of these advan-
tages are light, sunshine, and air. In
a small house, opposite windows are
necessarily near together; and the
light from one often crosses that of
another although they may be in db-
ferent rooms. Sunshine, Of course,
carries light, and it carries life-giving
properties besides. Light, airy houses
are almost always healthful and cheer
full. In crowded cities, houses offer
ing such advantages are always occu-
pied, while dark, dismal houses often
go begging for tenants. In this design
there are three rooms downstairs and
three rooms upstairs, and they are
arranged to provide a great deal of
comfort and convenience.
When a man starts to build house.
he usually has some particular ideas
in mind that he wishes to have
worked into the plan. Very often
these are not practical. They have
been extracted, as a general thing,
from some other plan, and cannot well
be grated into the new design with
out spelling the symmetry. You can
not have everything in one house, no
matter what its size or the amount of
money it costs. There are natural ad-
vantages that go with the environ
ment, which cannot be successfully
transplanted. This is one of the prin.
cipal reasons why architects are nee
essary. One of the most difficult prNb-
lens an architect runs up against Is
to prevent owners from injecting into
house plans ideas that are not fitting
or practical under existing conditions.
One man insisted on having a porte
cochere at the side of his house, when
the lot was not wide enough to &C
commodate the extension. He got his

Besides leading both upstairs and
down, it gives a grade entrance to
the cellar, a side entrance to the
kitchen, and it takes up very little
room
Downstairs the main feature is the
dining room, which is large enough to
make comfortable sitting room; and
it is especially attractive on account
Of the three windows and the CRATE.
Where a chimney can be so placed
as to accommodate the furnace in the
cellar, the range in the kitchen and
the CRATE in the dining room, you get
a large amount of comfort and salts
faction with comparatively little ex.
pense. Other advantages in a chin
ney like this are that it usually draws
better; it climbs out into the upper air
through the peak of the roof, where it
is better supported by the house and
where 1t is easier to fix the roof
around it so that it will not leak Still
another advantage is the additional
height, which insures a better draft.
Chimneys like this draw better for
another reason-they are. surrounded
by warm rooms, and the lues are
easily heated. Hot air naturally goes
up; so the ordinary cold draft of the
chimney is increased by this natural
phenomenon. All you have to do to
have things right, is to follow natural
laws and take advantage of them to
promote the end desired.
This little house is only % feet wide
by Sc feet long, without measuring
the porch, A 22-foot house can be
comfortably placed on 30 or 35-foot
lot and leave plenty of breathing
space on all sides. Then, It does not
cost great deal to build compact
little house from this plan. Under
ordinary favorable circumstances OF
material ana labor supply, $4,000
should build it complete, with plumb
ing, furnace, piping for gas, and wiz
ing for electricity.

Some Books Must Pass Away.

The discovey by Professor Cobb of
the department of agriculture that
documents can be preserved apparent
ly indefinitely in vacuum offers, IL
further tests verify his results, con-
venient way of exhibiting precious
and rapidly disintegrating manuscripts
while permitting their exhibition un-
der glass. But 1t does not offer much
comfort to authors whose work is
printed on wood pulp paper, With so
many books in the world, to try to
preserve sample copies in a vacuum
would be far too ambitious an under
taking. Whatever books survive will
have to be kept alive by the process
of reprinting from time to time, and
not many modern books stay in vogue
long enough for that.

first eight men who faced him In ar
important game, and he later struci
out II other men during the nine
innings
And these men were all crack play
ers, many Of whom are now stars in
the western leagues. In that Idaho
season Johnson was the slab artist in
fifty-seven straight games in which
not run was scored off his delivery
So you see he got the habit early
After that feat johnson applied to
various smart managers Of the clubs
in the big cities. But they wouldn't
even give him trial. They were dis
dainful, and easily declared that John

artillery of the major leagues. 1t re-
