GOV.-E[ECT STUART

Virginia Politicians at Sea As
to His Probable Appoint

PATRONAGE QUESTION
MAY BE OFFICIAL BANE
Special Correspondence of The Star.

RICHMOND Va, January % 1918.
Speculation is rife as to whom Gov.
elect Stuart will name for principal state
oHlces He Will have to name an adju-
tant general and private secretary. and
ne VIII also have to name a complete new
crop OF some twenty-five colonies for his
star and for social functions. There
are three applicants for the position of
adJutant general-Gen. w. w. Sale who
mas been hlling that position under Gov.
Mann; Maj. i. NJ. Workman senior Off
Ger of the field artillery, and Mai. E w.
Bowles of the crack military organization
of the state the Richmond Blues The
term is four years and the salary is
$','1 year Mr.. Stuart has all the
politicians in both camps guessing HID
is being claimed with gusto by the anti
machine element. and the latter de-
clares that he was its choice for the
matter of fact, the old time politicians
were strong for him, several of them as
surfing him of their support some time
ago.
Just how the candidates who are seek
ing the position named are affiliated as
between the two factions is a matter of
conjecture. save that Gen. Sale has al
ways trained with the machine crowd,
but he was strong Stuart man.
The prediction is being made that Gov
elect stuart will very likely make more
enemies than any governor who has
served since the civil war and patronage
will be the bane Of his existence The
anu-machine faction will lay claim to
everything in sight, and there will come
the rub. Mr.. Stuart has, during his in
cumbency of public Office. displayed a
tendency To do what he thinks is right
and to abide the consequences. 1t is
almost certain that he will do this identi-
cal thing when he becomes governor and
the disappointments that will follow will
be many.

PERFECT

An astronomical clock u keep
more nearly perfect time than any
other instrument. The makers of such
clocks have to consider how much ef-
feet slight changes in the temperature
and in the pressure of the air will
have upon the oscillation Of the PEN
dulum. DR.. 8. Refer, a German
maker Of astronomical clocks. has
prepared a set of tables that show the
weights Of dry and moist air at vary
ing temperatures and atmospheric
pressures. The tables show that at a
pressure Of 760 milligrams. as the
temperature changes from IL to SO
ce%ntrigrade, the weight Of a liter of
air changes from 1861. milligrams
to 1,129.7s milIigrams.: The tables
also show that at the temperature 0.
as the pressure changes from $50
millimeters to 100 millimeters. the
weight Of q liter Of air changes from
646.60 milligrams to 1,342.79 MILL
grams. According to Popular Astron-
omy, there is a Riefier clock at Pots
dam in which virtually all the infiu-
ences that effect the swinging pendu-
lum. no matter how infinitely. are
compensated for. The pendulum OF
this astronomical clock swings with
such. precision that after 57e, 200, 900
seconds ,(more than 10 years) the err
ror Of the clock is only one second.
