UNCLE -JED's TALK TO WIDE
 A AWAkEs.

The people of long ago used to take much more interest in the sky than do the people of today. for they filled 1t with pictures, and we heed them not.
 It may be well for us to make the acquaintance of the Greek children in the sky and then the sky will be more interesting to us than 1t is today.
 The Greeks used to say ages ago when the sun arose in the eastern sky that Apollo came driving his untamed white horse of fire, in hls golden chariot, across the heavens. They said

Two Deaths.

It was 8 cold night in winter. The wind sobbed and moaned and howled about the easements of a wretched ten emerl+s house in the slums of the city. It crept in through the cracks and into one of the miserable rooms where 1t touched coldly woman who crouched in corner holding to her bosom a little baby But the woman did not shiVer-she was too numb-and the wind crept out again to chill some other poor person.
 Tho woman tried feebly to clasp the child closer, but her own body was loo cold to give warmth to the baby besides, the baby was cold with the coldneSs of death,
 There was no fire in the room, no food, no comfort, and there had not been since the drunken husband had taken what little money there was and left his sick wife a couple of days

Dear Uncle Jed: I am telling you in my letter about d hero. Once a poor boy was riding~in crowded car in the streets of New York. A boy who tried to get 8 seat pushed the poor boy off the car His feet landed under the wheels. He was badly injured. He was taken to hospital. The police told him to tell who pushed him off. He would not tell who did il. A few hours afterward he died. Don't you think he was 2 hero?

Police Receive Complaint That Broken Glass is Being Placed on Avenue With Intent to Do Injury to AutOiStS

Acording to information received by the police, some miscreant has recently engaged in the practice of throwing quantities of broken glass upon the roadway along North Second Avenue with the result that traffic on that thoroughfare is greatly hampered. It is believed that the work was done with the intention of affecting auto
 mobile and motorcycle travel.
 When Chief of Police Moore first heard of the affair d few days ago, he caused as much of the glass to be re moved as was possible But the work
 w DO more than completed before
 move glass was found upon the same street. and there was every indication that it Ind recently been placed there and that it's presence Was no accident
 "If I can find out who placd the glass in the road. l will see that he is given the full extent of the law said Chief Moore yesterday in speaking ot the affair. The placing of broken glass on q street is liable to result in any one of a dozen different injuries 1 to property as well as to persons. Ar 1 automobile tire would be cut to pieces ! running over some of the glass I saw up there. A motorcycle would also suf- 1 fer in the same way.

CoHAN AND HARRIS HAVE
NEW AMERICAN DRAMATIsT

Each season Messrs, Cohan and Har,
ris make it a rule to bring out an en-.
tirely new American dramatist, and so
far their experiments have been ex.
tremely successful. Last season it was
Carlyle Moore with "Stop Thief (;
the season before Augustin MacTlugh
with "Officer 666," and the coming
season they will introduce Edward Las.
ka as the author Of a new comedy call
ed "The Brain Promoter, " which is to
have an early fall production.
Edward Laska began his career in
the theatrical field nine years ago at
the age Of 10 by writing the American
numbers used in "The Earl and the
Girl, the most successful of which
were "I Would Like to Marry You 4"
and "How'd You Like to Spoon with
Mel" Since then he has been a reri.
lar contributor to Broadway musical
comedies, writing both lyrics and mu.
sic, Two years ago Mr., Laska began to
realize his ambition to become a dra.
matist and ''The Brain Promoter is
the result.
Contrary to the ha,dships usually un.
dergoue by playwrights Edward Lasba
has been exceptionally fortunate, for
not onlyis "The Brain Promoter" his
first play, but Cohan & Harris were
tho first managers to whom II was sub.
mitted, aud they accepted it after read.
ing the first two acts, an unusual pro.
eedure which the author modestlv OK.
plains in the statement that he has do.
voted the past ten years to a thorough
study and alaysis Of dramatic technique
so that when he finallydecided that
he was ready to write a play he was
equipped with the practical knowledge
that is so necessary no matter how
abuudantly liberal nature has been In
the matter Of talent.

Wonderful Machine.
If measuring the distance fallen
through by body let fall at the rigid
ly exact beginning Of one second Of
time required to find the mathema-
tically exact specific speed Of falling
body in still air was almost that re-
quired to measure the distance Of the
nearest star, about l20 years.
Then Atwood invented his machine
and this finally came to some near ap-
prOach to accuracy. But this instru-
ment of precision fell far short of the
electrical chronographic apparatus.
When all Of this very complex mechan-
ism is in perfect order it releases the
ball at the exact beginning of second
and records the absolute time on the
cylinder of ehrOnograph electrically
and repeats the process at the absolute
end of the second so far as human
hands are able to do rigidly accurate
work.
The moment that those supermen,
Newton and Liebnitz, discovered that
mighty power, beside which all else
human pales into insignificance-the
stupendous calculus Of differentials-
every mathematician saw Immediately
that one of Natures most magnificent
laws was found in falling bodies. And
then began the relentless and arduous
self-imposed work of more than a hun
dred years to find the set specific speed
acquired by falling body at the in
Simultaneous and absolutely exact end
of the first exactly measured second
of time since man appeared
The Astronomical Balance.
The result is one grand, all-potent
all.powerful mean or average of cen
tury of worldwide measures, the dia-
mond of diamonds, the most valuable
number in possession of man, the astro.
nomical balance:
16.1 feet fallen to end Of the first
second; 1922 feet per second speed at
end of first second.
That is, a body let fall will, under
the action of the earth 3 attraction of
gravitation, fall 1871 feet during the
first absolute second of time; and at
the absolute end of the second will be
in motion with a velocity of 1929 feet
per second. These numbers constitute
the most accurate and all powerful
scales in existence.

said. Then he was forced to admit his
identity. The officers entered and,
they say, found all the occupants in

they went back to Sacramento, they

were placed in the county Jail. The

By Edgar Lucien Larain.

The art of weighing has expanded in
to comprehensive science and can no
longer be called mere art. Scales are
made Of metal, but the set herein de-
scribed is not made Of anything. Scales
are in hourly use that can weight pen.
ell mark whose length is one-fourth Of
an inch; or a section Of a hair Of equal
length. The usual practice in weighing
runs from grains, ounces, pounds up to
fifty tons, in railroad weighing, cost
ing hundreds and thousands of dollars.
But humans would find it quite diff.
ficult to make scales that would weigh
millions, billions, tri1lions, quadrillions,
quintillions, sextilions, septillOns, octil.
lions and nonillions Of tons, or decil.
lions. An instrument able to weigh q
decillion tons can now be purchased for
one cent-a pencil. The scales are not
made Of metal; instead, set and fixed
specific speed is the next all.powerful
engine used. But it is far more easy
to run lomotive or steamship without
knowing a single law Of these complex
machines than to even attempt to use
the speed scales without knowing every
minute detail of every velocity law of
moving bodies.
Elementary Laws.
Let street car start from rest and
keep moving fast and faster until its
rate Of motion is, say 20 miles per hour
at the end Of one minute. If the speed
Of the car increased uniformly during
the entire minute its average speed is
ten miles per hour, because it started
from rest and increased TO 20 miles per
hour. If body moves during one min.
ute at 20 miles per hour the distance
traversed will be speed multiplied by
time, or 20 miles multiplied by one
sixtieth of an hour, or one-third of a
mile; but the average speed in case Of
the car is ten miles per hour, so that
the distance moved over is half as great
or one-sixth mile. This is fundament-
al law Of nature and is of enormous
Importance.
Law; For uniformly increasing speed,
starting from rest, the velocity in.
creases with the time, but the distance
traversed is that moved over by the
moving body with its average speed,
or one-half.
Go to the top of high tower and
let fall a smooth stone, or better, a
sphere of lead or iron. Take up a very
accurate clock, one that clearly reads
exact seconds on a large dial. Let the
body fall and measure the distance it
has fallen during the first second, re.
cord this in a little book. To be sure,
