FATHERS AND SONS.

From the Ohio State Journal
Cantcn has started a movement to
encourage more oompanionable rela-
tions between fathers and their sons
and a similar movement is to be started
in Cleveland very soon There cannot
be too much said in favor of an effort
of this kind. The indifference of faith
ers to their boys has been the cause
of untold grief and misfortune. The
natural guide. protector and comrade
of a boy is his father, and who could
be more interested in the boys well
fare?

We were all for him for his present

position to work out the citys finances,
to make Birmingham good and a pretty

Why not start an official city organ?
Mayor Commissioner Ward might make
great editor. Everyone, especially be

conduct a newspaper, and when Mayor
Commissioner Ward goes out of office
there will be a good JOB for him on The

hands. 1t is larger than most any of us

Expects Improvement In General Trade

Business men in Chicago say they
have reason to expect decided activity
in general trade early in the new year."
SAID L. p. Cushing OF the great lakes
metropolis.
I'VE have had good holiday trade, and
IL business does not boom before the
winter is over l confidently look for
high degree of prosperity in the spring.
Ono hears a good deal about pessimists
in New York, but there are not as many
OF them now as was the case three or
-four months ago. / was in New York in
the second week of December, and the
general feeling was then that with the
passage of the currency bill the financial
atmosphere would BE cleared, and the
country would be ready To start ON a new
era of good times.
This year, taken altogether, has not
been bad year in the business world
The recession for the most part has
come within the past three months. With
the big crops harvested last fall it would
be strange indeed if We did not have
a revival of prosperity.

for Handefs gerat oratorio, the Mes

Methodist church Sunday afternoon, Jan

well known himself as an excellent chorus
trainer.
Il understand that only selections will
be rendered on the forthcoming occasion.

1t would perhaps be too long for the aver
age listener. Mr. Thomas has high class
material to work with-the Treble Clef
club and the Arion sopciety uniting as
they do for the oratorio performance.
The Messiah" is given in many large

now that Mr.. Thomas has revived tile

If the light of the moon is thus analyzed
it is found to be ''polarized."
Now. it is no new thing to learn that
Bryant searched all the authorities, but
could find no one who had ever thought
to examine polarized light with rega.d
to any possible chemical effect from it,
Therefore the British savant began his
experiments with the hope that such
effects would be found. A few of his ex-
periments were made with a 2O0-candle-
power Ostram lamp. Later tests were
carried out with 32-candle-power carbon
flament lamps. The light from these
electric bulbs were polarized by means of
a pile of seven sheets of plate glass,
backed with a silver mirror. In this way
the reflected light of the moon from the
sun was duplicated in the laboratory.
More powerful beams of light than those
used will only serve to confirm Dr.
Bryant's discoveries.
He obtained the most surprising results
with fish He cut up slices of fish and
hung some of them up before the direct
rays of light, and others from the same
fish in the reflected or polarized light de-
cayed long before the other slices, IL
though the heat was several degrees low
er than In the direct light.
Then tests wereN made with seeds,
plants, meat jam, eane-sugar solution
and other things, In every case the
polarized light had a decided effect upon
the organic substances.

In relation to the number of airmen now
plying their trade and the air mileage
covered, it may probably be shown that
the ratio of accident is decreasing. Nev-
ertheless the fact remains that, because
of defects in the aeroplane and because
of our ignorance of the laws of the me-
dunn it moves in, the element of acci-
dent is always present; and the expert
is hardly more immune than the rovice.
