MACHINE CANDIDATE.

Photographic communications from Washington state that the appointmen of Edward w. Ex- um to the marsh hlship of the Third Judicial District has been blokced in the United States Sen ate owing to a number of char ges against his morals, and 1t is not likely that he will be confir- med.
 The following is an extract from the item as it appeared in yesterday mornings Times: 'tExum's appointment was not secured through the influence of National Committeeman Cheney. :" This statement of the Times is either deliberate or ignorant falsehood, as it is a well known fact that Exum was Jennings right hand man in the Chitina section, and was pushed for the office both by Jennings and Chen ty..
 The fact that he has coducted or owned a number of houses of ill-repute cut no ice with the Ma tional committeeman in his choice, as the latter has with but about two exceptions endorsed only men with either cOur. or shady records. EXum is as well fitted as a number of their ether candidates, some of whom were successful, but that isn't saying much for EXum.
 Before Cheney and the rest of the clique get through with the territory, the Si Reed gang, of former years, will appear like a bunch of Sunday school teachers. --Fairbanks Citizen.

Maxims For a King,

In the royal palace at Potsdam there is very beautiful tablecloth, curiously embroidered and brought into careful occasional use. It was presented to the Emperor William by the women of Schleswig-Hol- stein. The tablecloth is entirely worked over with stitchery, which must have called for an infnity of patience and skill in its production. The stitching shows, in Teutonic lettering, a number of moral max inns. Here is the English equiva7 lent of some of the royal legends on linen:
 ''Do not believe all you hear; do not tell all you know; do not do all you would like"
 "Contentment is a rare art"
 "First weigh, then consider, then dare"
 "Wilt thou here have spass (fun), be careful with the glass;"

Careful About Breathing.

Breathing exercises are beneficial to persons who get little exercise, but it is not best to take them early in the morning. After six. or eight hours of sleep the circulation and body activities are slow. It takes two or three hours at least for the body to regain it's normal rate of action. Now, if person spends ten minutes in breathing exercises he is giving his system that much more work getting started. It takes his body longer to get into shape for the days work and leaves it in a poorer condition to do that work. If you need exercise take it after your body has been in running or der several hours.-Kansas Indus trialist.

GLASS AND LIGHT.
Why It Is That We Arc Able to 8ss
 Through . Window.

Through a Window.
 It is not until the question is asked s'Why is. glass transparent?'. that we find ourselves suddenly re- alizing how difficult this simple mat ter is. We take it for granted that light will pass through glass and that, for example, it will not pass through wood. Yet certain light, such as the X ray light, for instance, will pass through wood and will not pass through glass. A pair of heavy lead glass spectacles transparent enough to allow the wearer to read with ease will absolutely blot out the light of d powerful X ray tube, which possesses the power of pass ing readily through score of sub stances not transparent to ordi- nary light. Now, supposing the out of doors were lighted by an X ray apparatus instead of the sun, the walls of a frame house would trasmit the light and the windows would be the only spot that would be dark.
 One of the principal reasons why we can see through window is that crystal structure has been pre- vented in the making of glass. The materials of which glass are made, such as sand and flint and potash, are not transparent, and it is only by combining them in certain pro- portions that the light passing con- dition is produced. It is this com bination that makes glass clear. If, however, little bubbles of air get in the glass they break it's clearness, in the same way that bubbles of gas (as in bubbling water) make it difficult for light to pass. The best example of this is white of egg, which is almost transparent, but which can be beaten to froth by whipping, imprisoning air bubbles so that it becomes quite opaque to the light. The light falling upon the unbeaten white of egg finds structure quite simple in character, but after it is beaten the struc- ture is mass of globular air bub- bles, and these round bubbles divert the light rays and will not let them pass through.
 Ordinary light pays very little re- gard to the density of the substance through which it is to pass. Thus heavy lead glass is more transpar- ent than a piece of oiled tissue pa per, and by a curious condition of things the oiled paper-though its pores are clogged with the oil-is more translucent to light than is the paper which is not oiled. The reason of this is not unlike that of the glass. The power of the fbers of the paper to scatter the rays of light is lessened by the more uni form character of the oil, which passes the beams through. Our houses would be dark indeed but for this ability of glass to '1et little sunshine in," but there is yet great deal to find out about the way the light waves wriggle their way un- checked through the dense sub- stance of a window pane. - Ex- change.

orders were given to take new bids and
the architect got out his drawings to look
them over before having new blueprints
made. He noticed that few details were
included in the drawings-so few, in fact.
that he wondered how such a set Of plans
ever got out Of his Office until he remem-
bered how hurriedly they had been made.
set Of inch-scale details was imme-
diately drawn up and included in the
plans-simple drawings showing designs
of millwork and special features in the
construction.
When bids came In once more the arch
itect was astonished to find prices lower
than they had been the first time, not
withstanding the brisk advance in cost of
building materials Upon investigation
he found that the lower bids were the re-
suit of the new details. Contractors
standing just how the house was to be
built lowing to incomplete drawins) had
been afraid to figure close, but as soon
as they saw the illuminating new details
they could figure more accurately. De-
tails are important items in plans and
architects who neglect to prepare details
until contracts are let frequently unin-
tentionally make work cost more than ii
should. Even few quarter-inch details
showing special features of construction
are very useful to the contractor in figur-
ing his work.

Houses Sell or Rent Better.

1t will pay every carpenter and builder,
whether he builds for hiss own use or for
others, to insist on some form Of insula-
ton in his wall construction. Such q
house is naturally a more desirable rent
ing property or selling proposition than
the residence unprotected against sum-
mer heat or winter cold and requiring a
much larger consumption Of fuel to keep
it warm in winter. The largest specu-
lative builder in the country, John Cor
bin of Brooklyn, insulates every house
he erects. The total cost of the COM
pleted house Is no more, and the buyer
is better satisfied. To the owner or the
means another reduction in the cost Of
living-and, with coal prices higher each
year. very welcome, very substantial
reduction.
Probably there is no better method of
making q house "heatproof'' than by the
use of the quilts. felts or boards that are
used in the cold storage and refrigerator
trade. Back-plaster is better than moth
ing. but is not permanent. nor at any
time as efficient. A number of contrac-
tors have declared that 1t costs no more
to quilt house than to baclz-plaster it,
and 1t certainly Is q good many times
warmer. It Is. of course. evident that
the Insulating quilt, made as it is with
paper, with the material that is used
sewed between these sheets. is as eff
cient wind break as is the tarred felt
or red rosin generally used. and has the
additional value of real heat Insulation
With every effort being made by the
building trades to make our dwellings
more comfortable. more economical Of
operation, more attractive from every
standpoint this really very important
feature Of construction should not be
overlooked. And it may be assumed that
in the course of a few years the building
which is not heatproofed or insulated
will be regarded as second-class: that it
will be rs undesirable as is the house to-
day without bathroom, or electric light
fixtures, or heating plant.
