LEFT YOUNG MOTHER GASPING
Mrs. OLeary's WeIlMeant Words OF
Compassion Contained a Meaning
That Shocked.

There are still two opinions o n
corning red hair. She was a very
proud young mother. All the old mas
tiers had never painted such a bam-
bino, had never imagined such a cher
ub as hers. Quite simply she be-
lieved it. And the baby's hair was red.
1t did not occur to her that red hair
was anything but completely and who'll
ly admirable. The little shining cop
per colored head seemed to her the
sum of all that was radiant and love-
ly.
I've come for the baby's wash,
ma'am."
1t was Mrs. OLeary, the washer
woman,-a rawboned, detected soul
her no inexpressible glory shining
amid the blue and white draperies Of
a bassinet. How hard the world was
on some womenl So thought the
young mother and proudly drew back
the cover from the baby's nest.
Come and look at my little daugh-
ter she said. See, she has red
hair"
A fash of some strong feeling
could it be compassion?-illumine
the detected features of Mrs. O'Leary.
The proud young mother felt her
hand gripped in a grasp of iron, and
a warm Irish voice sounded In her
ears.
There. there it said soothingly.
Don't you fret. Don't you fret. You
can't never tell what they look like
when they're small. Some of EN-
grows up into real good lookin' girls.
They do that"

LIGHT THAT PRODUCES SOUND
Statement Sounds incredible, but sx-
pertinent VIII Speedily Demon
strate II to BE a Fact.

1t seems incredible that a beam OF
light sould be made to produce sound,
but such a thing can be done. A ray
of sunlight Is thrown through a lens
on a glass vessel containing lampblack,
colored silk or worsted, or n like
substance. A disk having Sits or open
ings cut in 1t is made to revolve swift
ly in this beam of light, so as to c U
1t up" thus causing alternate flashes
of light and shadow. When n places
his ear to the glass vessel he hears
strange sounds so long as the flashing
beam falls upon the vessel.
A still more extraordinary effect is
produced when the beam of sunlight 10
made to pass through a prism. so as to
produce what is called the solar spec
trum. The disk Is turned and the col
ored l'ght of the rainbow Is made to
break through 1t. Now, If the a be
placed to the vessel containing the silk
or other material, as the colored lights
of the spectrum fall upon it, sounds
will be given by the different parts OF
the spectrum and there will be silence
in other parts.
For example. IL the vessel contains
red worsted and the green light flashes
upon it, loud sounds will be heard
when the red and the blue parts of the
rainbow fall upon the vessel. Other
colors produce no sounds at all.
Green silk gives out sound best in a
red light. Every kind of material gives
more or less sound in different eolors
and no sound at all in others.--Har-
per's Weekly.

JINGoIsM

While President Wilson is exceed
ingly optimistic as to the successful
passage of the Owens Glass bill at this
session of congress, there are some
who differ from him. That the meas
ure has proceeded as far as it has is
due entirely to the president s insist
ence on action, and his course has not
met with unanimous approval. We
NAV well doubt the wisdom of rushing
through congress a bill which aims to
change the whole face of our currency
and banking system and methods,
when that bill has beer so e%mpratical-
ly criticised by banks and business
men and condemned by so many quail
fed to speak on this subject.
That is is radically defective must
be inferred from the fact that upward
of three hundred amendments will be
onered in the senate-amendments not
suggested by partisan or dilatory con-
siderations, but which spring from a
desire to frame a reasonably sound
bill. We have the statement of the
president himself hat he believes the
members of the upper chamber are
anxious to deal constructively with the
bill. Hence, we may infer that the
amendments of that body are sincere.
The currency problem will only be set
tied when it is settled right. And
surely no one will contend that a
brutal majority vote can guarantee
that result. That is Jingoism, not
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT American.

COPPER SITUATI.r

The National Conduit & Cable Co.,
in its regular monthly issue of "Cop-
per Gossip, says:
"Actual and statistical conditions
for several months past proved excep-
t~ionally favorable to the substantial
net gains recorded in copper market
values during the recent period of adj
vancing prices. 1t is a question, how
ever, if quotations have not reached
the point where the rising tide OF the
market cannot flow ON i~nterrupted1y.
Notwithstanding a continued shrink
age in surplus stocks the cumulative
effect of reported decreases in visible
supplies is felt in the prices now cur
rent, and it will take some very strong
arguments to convince buyers that any
higher range OF selling prices are justi-
fed.
Consumption of copper in this
country and the general International
demand for the metal which has pre-
vailed steadily since January furnish
ed the basis for the market strength
SO noticeable since the middle of July.
But alter a price advance since that
time of nearly three cents a pound 1T
is not to be wondered at II buyers are
chary at a level so tar above that OF
three months ago, II especially with
a stacking up IN manufacturing bust
ness lately which must be considered
in gauging the probable future OF
consumptive demand. LII the demand
for copper at home and abroad is main
tanned even somewhat below the re-
cent high average there is good reason
to expect comparatively Iair prices,
but ii a too ambitious program is at
tempted III the regulation OF market
quotations the stability OF the sltua-
ton will be liable to undergo changes
eventually regrettable to ali interests.
Naturally much emphasis is put
upon the reduction in the world 5
stock OF copper available for imme-
date delivery. This phase of the
situation should not be overlooked,
but ii ~consumptive activity is being
curtailed, as indicated in some quart
ers, the visible supply OF copper may
begin to show an increase within the
next few months. The last statement
OF United States production showed an
output for September OF 131 0 ,229
pounds, which was a little larger daily
production than for August. In view
of the strike at the Lake mines, there
by cutting off the body of usual sup
Plies from those sources, the quantity
of copper produced last month indicat-
ed very active conditions at the wetst-
ern smelters which are feeders of the
great electrolytic refineries located on
the Atlantic tide water. 1t should also
be noted that the tonnage coming
from some mines, exclusive of those
in Michigan, is considerably less than
the recorded outputs for several
months last year. Mine and refinery
production is therefore capable of a
substantial increase, and copper can be
produced more extensively than at
present. When favorable conditions
are restored at Lake Superior it will
make a positive difference in the situa-
ton. Copper production is temporari-
ly below normal, but an increase over
present rate will occur later and the
yield from all sources will send into
the markets of the world immense
quantities which nothing short of a
huge consumption win DO able to
Absorb.O
