Insulated Wires.

To keep electricity in the wires. to
prevent it from escaping. which it is
always trying to do. the wires have to
be bandaged up in some substance
through which the electricity cannot
penetrate. This is called insulation.
A wire is said to be insulated when it
is wrapped in nonconducting covers.
Dry hair is the best material: next
rank glass. mica. porcelain. rubber.
lava, oils. silk. cotton. etc, The wires
used about ordinary buildings are in
sulated with rubber. oils. varnish and
dry CLOTH Some of the smaller wires,
for electric bells. etc. are merely COW
cred with closely woven silk or cotton
threads. The best known conductor OF
electricity is silver. but it is too costly
to be used commercially. Copper ranks
next and is generally used for electric
wiring.-NeW York World.

Sound In q Foo.

III has often been noticed that on
wet and foggy days sounds are heard
at a greater distance than on clear.
fine DAYS. 1t was TyndaH who ex-
planned the reason for. this. He no.
ticed that the distance at which the
sounds of foghorns, whistles and shots
could be heard varied from day to day
from two to twelve miles. The cause
of this difference is found in the de-
gree Of homogeneity of the air. On a
foggy or snowy day the air may be
perfectly homogeneous; this permits
sound to travel great distance. In
clear weather the air may be composed
of vertical layers of differing consist
ency. and the sound waves are re-
fected from the surfaces of the layers.
Probably they are also refracted In
passing through the several layers.
Currents of warm ascending air form
in one place and currents Of cold de-
scending air form in others. Thus the
atmosphere may be very transparent
OFFICIALLY and very opaque acoustically.

RoBBERY THURSDAY NIGHT

J, The clothing store Of N. IL. SILVER

. negro. Late in the night a negro
entered the store and at once heiped
himself to five coats, overalls, snlrts,
s1iupers. watches, watch fobs and suit
case. Patrolmen McGhee and Haney
saw the negro with the suit case and'
shadowing him to the passenger sta
lion. secured all of the stolen goods.
The negro claimed he was gong 70
Salisbury. but did not have any mon
ev and decided to work. Officer Nc
Chez became suspicious and told the
negro to come with him and spend
the night at the city jail, but the
negro said che guessed he'd better De
going" whereupon McGhee INSISTED
that he go with him, and arriving at
the Jail, a search was made OF the
grip and articles found therein. a
trip to Silver's store developed tnat
it had been entered. The negro
"fessed up" and said he only watched
while another negro did the stealing.
The negro made an entrance at the

RUSSIA A DANCING NATION.
And Red Is the All Pervading Color OF
the Real Native.

And Red Is the All FerVaQtn9 NoiOr OF
the Real Native.
"Red is the obsessing color of the
real Russian. His word for beautiful
is 'preskrasnee.' says a writer.
which means literally very red A
peasant girl in gala dress is red from
the scarf on her head to her bright red
boots. often relieved only by the white
blouse. on which again is red embroid-
ery. The snow white steps Of state in
the Kremlin are called the red stairs
as tribute to their beauty and with
no suggestion of their color.
Russia is not barbaric. It is simple
and childlike. whence it's enormous
charm. And it is dancing nation: the
dances are national. unique and quite
unoriental. Peasants may be seen IN
their log built villages dancing away
until they almost drop from fatigue.
The Russian dance is full OF vitality,
spontaneous and strenuous: the east
ern dance is restrained. suggestive and
sometimes sinuOus.
Russian literature is supposed to be
consistently gloomy. Of course there is
a tendency to DEPRESSION but it would
be equally correct to assume that Ger
man literature consists only of clas-
steal annotations and scientific treat
ises."-Chicago News.

ARE "SEICHE" Waves
Peculiar Phenomenon Disturbing
Lake Michigan.

Chicago. July 28.-Unexplained big
waves in Lake Michigan which have
been a feature of lake disturbances and
which newspapers have been calling
tidal waves for want OF a more accur-
ate title, today were declared to be
''seiche" waves. The big waves have
been a source Of damage this summer.
imperi1ling bathers. tearing small ves-
sells from their mornings and injuring
shore property, This is the definition
of Seiche. according to a standard die
tionary:
Seiche. an oscillation of the sur
face of lake, varying from a few
minutes to several hours. The cause
is thought to be local disturbances in
barometric pressure. The phenome-
non has been recorded only in the
Swiss lakes. particularly the Lake of
Geneva
Such a succession of big waves rolled in
on the north shore beaches yesterday at
ternoon and guards today were busy re-
pairing life lines and floats. Many per-
sons watching bathers were caught and
drenched, SO Unexpectedly did the big
breakers dash upon the shore. No drown
ings were reported.

fetal at Le Litien WIN thought that
the troubles the people had suffered
were due to their failure to worship
idols and their ancestors, ordered q
return to the an lent custom. There
were about twenty members OF the
Baptist church at that place, and they
ignored the request" the letter says.
"As a result Of their failure idols
were placed in their yards and tab
lets were hung on their walls.
When the Christians persisted in
refusing to worship according to the
ancient custom. they were roughly
handled.
''All tho men who were Christians
were taken out, bound with ropes and
led through the streets. Some of them
fell down and were dragged for a
considerable distance and suffered
painful hurts
The letter adds that a Chinese pastor
who went to the rescue was severely cut
on the head with a brick and six other
preachers at a nearby Bible school who
responded were also similarly handled.
