appreciated a palpable hit, even al
his own expense.
During the rehearsals of king Ar

Edward Burne-Jones designed special
costumes, he CHANGED to overhear the
brief monologue that follows:
"Sir Emery Irwin, Sir Arthur Sulli

and that's about what I give it!'

The first determination of the We
locity of light was made by Romer in
1876. The method was based upon the
observation of the eclipses of Jupiter's
satellites, phenomena of frequent re-
currence and easy of observation. As
Stunning that light required time where
in to move from place to place through
space, the interval between successive
eclipses would appear too short when
the earth is approaching Jupiter and
too long when the earth is receding
therefrom. Romer found in his obser-
vations that such was the case and
that the interval was conditioned by
the rate of speed at which the earth
changed places relatively to Jupiter.
From these constants Romer computed
that light expended about sixteen and
one-half minutes in crossing the
earth's orbit. From this is deduced
velocity OF about 186.500 miles sec

BIG REALTY DEAL Ar CAPITAL
Famous Building In Capital
City Leased.

A large realty transaction was con-
firmed few days ago, which is OF
great interest to the residents of
Washington and the country at large
One Of the Oldest and probably the
most famous of all buildings in the
capital city has been leased for term
of four years at total rental of about
$1,000.000. 1t is understood that the
privilege of renewal is a part Of the
lease at about the same consideration
as paid for the use of the property for
the next four years. subject to some
restrictions. The person who has
succeeded in obtaining the property
will occupy it as a residence, and
took occupancy on March A.
The property is situated on Pennsyl-
vania avenue at Sixteenth street, ex-
tending south, and contains large
grounds, both in front and In the
rear of the house. The residence is
constructed in Virginia freestone, is
ITO feet in length, SO feet in depth.
and consists of rustic basement. two
lofty stories, and an attic, the whole
surmounted by an ornamental balus-
trade. The north front has a por-
tico of lofty Ionic columns, forming a
porte-ochere, and the south colon
naded balcony.
The property is commonly known as
the White House and the lessee Is
Woodrow Wilson, former governor OF
New Jersey and ex-president Of Prince
ton university. The lessons of the
property are the people of the United
States, who own it and who indirectly
received about $1,00O,000 as rental
for the four years. The agent act
ing for Mr.. Wilson was the national
Democratic realty committee and for
the people the quadrennial joint con-
vention of the house and the senate
of the United States, who confirmed
the transaction, after making count
of the votes cast by the electoral rep
resentatives of the people. The peo-
pie granted the lease almost unani-
mously, 435 electoral votes out of 531
being cast in favor of Mr. Wilson as
a tenant in preference to W. H. Taft.
Theodore Roosevelt, and others who
were bidding for the property.
The White House was the first pub
lie building erected at the new seat of
government, and was first occupied by
John Adams in November, 1900.

BUILDING RULES MOST STRICT
Protection to Adjacent Prop
erty Owners.

A peculiar building regulation is in
force in most parts of Switzerland. 1t
is required that before the erection of
new building, frames or screeds
must be erected to mark out the shape
of the building in profile as well as
in plan. In practice this amounts to
erecting at each angle of the building
pole or mast with projecting tri-
angular frame attached to it at the
cornice level to indicate the height
and projection of the cornice. The
building law of the canon Zurich re-
quires that the framework shall be
erected when the plans are submitted
for approval by the public authorities.
The purpose of the rule apparently is
to bring out, in advance Of construc-
ton, the architectural relations of the
building to adjoining structures and
to the districts in which it lies, both
for aiding the municipal authorities in
passing upon the plans from the archi-
tectural viewpoint and giving the
neighboring owners an opportunity to
judge of the effect of the proposed
new building upon their interests.

BOOKS FOR BOY PRISONERS
No Ball and Chain These Days, but
Character of Reading Matter
Is Questioned.

Prisoners are cared for so much
better than they used to be. They no
longer have to sit with ball and
chain on their legs, eating bread and
water, or taking rs years to carve
their message on the pillars of dank
and darkened dungeon with rusty
nail smuggled in by trusty confed-
crate who swims the moat beyond
the castle walls. No, indeed. They
have up-to-date methods. They even
give 'em books to read.
You can prove that by going up to
the Juvenile court, where the room in
which children are sometimes con-
fined is furnished with wooden
bench. There is book there for the
juvenile prisoners to regale their lit
erary tastes. You can imagine the
feelings of the half-scared newsie,

Now let us examine the See theory,
which the professor supports by much
mathematical and observational data

This is the exact opposite OF La
places scheme, says Leslie's Weekly.
Professor See holds, indeed, that the
polar system was formed from a
spiral nebula, but that instead of the
planets having been detached from
the sun by rotation they have been
captured and added on from the outer
parts of the nebula. All the satellites
likewise have been captured by their
several planets, and not one Of them

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this

Some houses cost less than their
size and appearance would seem to
indicate. This is true of the one
shown herewith. The lower hall in
this house is big enough to be counted
as room. This makes eight rooms
and a bathroom in a house 80 feet
wide by SO feet inches deep, not
counting porches. Although we have
so much inside room, the house is not
expensive. 1t can be built for about
$4,000 under favorable conditions.
A feature is the large attic, reached
by back stair from the little back
room labeled on the house plan bed

this room would be used for sewing

makes provision for this necessity.
There is great deal of work to do in
the sewing line in most families; and
1T is necessary work, too. Most house
wives are handy with the needle, and
all of them would get along better If
they had a nice light room of this
kind for the purpose. Every work
man requires a workshop. Women
are no exception. In order to do good
work, we must have the proper tools
and facilities to work with. This
room, being over the kitchen, with a
chimney at the side, is generally
warm; and it is always light and
pleasant unless the outlook is objec-
tionable But no one builds q house
in unpleasant surroundings if he can
possibly help it.
Another attractive feature of this
house is the parlor, with it's rounded
front and large window at the side.
Less parlor furniture IS required

There is no such thing as dustless
air. No matter what precautions are
taken, particles of dust will always
be found in the atmosphere, even in
a Theoretically sealed room. There
are very rarely less than 100 particles
Of dust in a cubic centimeter of air,
and, in big cities, there are sometimes
as many as 10000 in that exceeding
ly small space.
Dust has no special color, since it is
composed of all sorts of things-par-
ticles of coal and other minerals,
grains of sand blown from the earth's
surface, pollen, and other forms OF
vegetable matter, etc. The reason it
looks black against a white surface
and vice versa is that the particles
that are visible against dark sur
face are naturally the light ones,
whereas when dust settles on light
surface, the dark particles catch the
eye.

NO MORE MOCK FUNERALS
Cambridge Authorities Purpose tc
Stop Celebration Of Explosions
of Students.

London.-One OF the features OF
Cambridge undergraduate life is
threatened by the decision Of the uni
versity and municipal authorities to
cooperate in the attempt to put an
end to the burlesque displays known
as mock funerals" carried out by
the students when one of them is sent
down'-namely, expelled.
The decision has followed closely
upon one of the most uproarious mock
funerals that Cambridge has ever
seen. A popular student was expelled
for breach of discipline, which his fell
low-students regarded as sporting
act;" so they formed a funeral pro-
cession fully one mile long and es-
corted their friend to the railway sta
ton. All ordinary traffic had to wait
as the cortege crawled through the
streets, the mourners carrying coffin
with weeping widow behind.
Every hurdy-gurdy in Cambridge
was hired, and all the disengaged We
hicles were Communicated and crowd
ed with students dressed in weird cos
tumes-some of them made up as Carl
catures of the university authorities.
To the accompaniment of band"
which included thousands of mouth or
gans, creating an earsplitting dis
cord, the procession reached the sta
ton. where the students occupied the
time while waiting for the trains de-
parture by dancing cakewalks on the
roofs of the carriages, sitting astride
of the locomotive boiler and lombard
ing each other with coal.
When the train carrying the expelled
student departed several friends &C
companied him for part OF the jour
ney. attired in night dresses and pa
jamas, and wearing Chinese mustaches
and opera hats.
