There are the doctors and dentists
and florists, too, and all sorts of Incl

So you can easily see that S213.7O

trifie for an allowance.

porary alimony.
Mrs. Heye figures that S213.70
day is the very least she and her two
children can worry along on. Here's
the way she figures it out:
For rent she needs $4,000 a year.
That's what her modest quarters in
the Hotel Langdon, at Fifth avenue
and 18th street, are costing her. She
only has few rooms, too, with her
own dining room, of course.
She has her own waiting maid,
chambermaid and personal maid and
the English nurse for little Law
renee, aged four, and the little
French maid for eight-year-old Mil
dred.
That's really a small number of
servants" she says. eff were living
in a house of my own, like many
women in my set, I'd need dozen
or fifteen.
Besides the bagateIle she pays for
rent, Mrs. Heye estimates that food
and service for herself and two chill
dren amount to $50 a day.
There's the item of education, too.
Little Lawrence's instruction alone
will cost $4,000 this year.
Now, don't raise your eyebrows.
Just to show how little you know
about it, Mrs. Heye explains that,
besides the regular schools private,
of course-her boy and girl must
have riding lessons, dancing lessons,
swimming lessons, French lessons
and many other extras.
Their little friends all have them
she adds.
And what American family can get
along without an automobile?
Mrs. Heye has two. One might be
out of commission, you know, and
then she couldn't have the chauffeur
drive Lawrence and Mildred back
and forth to the dancing master,
music master, etc.

pile of gems. was partly surround
ed by a black deposit which is in
visible to the eye when the moon
is examined with a telescope, The
thought occurred to him that the
nature of this mysterious deposit
might be ascertained by finding out
what materials on the earth pre-
sent a similar appearance when
photographed in the same kind of
rays.
Accordingly, he took two speci-
mems of volcanic rock, or tuff, and
made three photographs of them,
one in yellow light, one in violet
light and one in the ultra violet
rays. He found that the image Of
one of the pieces of tuff which lay
on top of the other, was almost in
visible in yellow light was darker
in the violet and was always black
in the ultraviolet. while the other
specimen did not show similar

In behalf 'of the 1880 and odd
rural carriers of Georgia, I beg to
thank you for your recent editorial.
More Pay for Letter Carriers" AS
you state, The men who carry the
mails are underpaid now" Espe-
cially is this true Of the rural car
rier, for he must furnish and keep
up his horses and vehicles at his
own expense. This costs the aver
age rural carrier approximately
$500 per year
In estimating the benefits that
will accrue to the producer. manu-
facturer merchant and consumer,
nearly everybody has overlooked
the men whose expenses will haVe
to be materially increased" in or
der to make it a success.
In view of this your editorial is
very timely. Again, as YOU suggest,
If every patron who has the good

to write a letter to their congress

torial, ] am,

changes. Then he analysed the
specimen that photographed dark
in the ultraviolet rays, and found
that it contained iron and a little
sulphur
Thereupon he took a rock and
stained it with iron, but this show
ed equally dark in the violet and
the ultraviolet. Next, he sprayed
a part of the rock with sulphur
yapor producing q deposit that was
invisible to the eye. When this was
photographed in the different kinds
of light the deposit was invisible in
the yellow, came, out gray in the
violet, and black in the ultra-vio-
let. Since this was exactly the APP
pearance of the strange deposit
around the crater mountain on the
moon, when photographed in SINH
lar lights, the inference was ire
sistible that Aristarchus is sur
rounded by vast deposits of sui
phur, whose existence would never
have been known to us but for the
curious power of the ultraviolet
rays.
There are similar deposits around
other mountains on the moon, and
this fact is in accord with the be-
lief that most of those mountains
are Of volcanic origin, since it is
well known that on the earth the
volcanoes are always surrounded
with deposits Of sulphur.
Show Character of Minerals.
The experiments of Professor
Wood may be only the beginning
of a new method of celestial ex-
ploration, which when II is perfect
ed will produce still more astonish-
ing discoveries. Already the posi-
bility has been discussed of en-
ploying the infra-re as well as the
ultra violet rays for this purpose,
and inasmuch as every substance
probably has its own preferences
in regard TO the kind of rays that it
reflects, there is no improbability
in predicting that Photographic
charts of the moon will be made
which will show the character Of
the minerals Astounding on differ
ent parts of its surface as a geolog-
ical map shows those of the earth.

Enable Us to Find Out What the
Moon Is Really Made OF

THE old joker who declared that
the moon was made of green
cheese probably thought that
nobody could ever disprove his
statement, because it would be I'M
possible for man to And out what
the moon really was made Of.
II he could revisit the earth now
he would be less astonished to see
men flying through the air than to
find out that they have actually
discovered the composition OF the
moon without going there.
1t is 100000 miles away, and we
have not yet succeeded in crossing
the empty space separating 1t from
the earth, but. nevertheless, by the
properties Of the light reflected from
its surface we are finding out what
1t is made Of.
Rays Are Beyond Our Eye Reach
These strange discoveries are
based upon the fact that the pho
tographic plate can see" waves of
light which are totally invisible to
the human eye. Our eyes grasp a
certain range Of light waves vary
ing from about $4,000 to 10000
Of an inch in length. but there is
an abundance Of invisible" light
whose waves are both much longer
and much shorter than those of the
light which we sec.
The longer waves are called i'm
frared rays that is below the
red and the shorter ones are
called ultra violet rays"-that is,
beyond the violet-the red and vio-
let being the limits Of the visible
spectrum Of light.
Now, it happens that these rays,
which lie beyond our eye reach, are
reflected with varying degrees of
intensity by different substances.
We can not see them directly, but
the Photographic plate is able to
make them sensible to us, If only
we can separate them from the
flood of invisible light that envel-
ops them. This separation can be
effected by means of colored
screens and of certain substances
that are particularly transparent
for special kinds of light, like
quartz. BY such means Professor
r w. Wood. Of the Johns Hopkins
university. has succeeded in max
ing photographs of the moon with

the Jones county slayer of her hus-

If her confession is true, from
my point of view, she did a great

deceived a true and faithful hus-
