Uncle Joe Cannon, who knows the peo-
pie fairly well, is using a very sentimental
argument for his election for return to
Congress. 1t Is that another two years
would mean 40 years service in the Ma
tional House and that looks 50 much bet
ter for a man from Danville, Ill, than
plain IS. However. it isn't so different
than the Democratic keynote in AIassa-
chusetts this year when Secretary CARR
son pleads that a vote against Walsh is Il
vote against Wilson. Sentiment is the
note all along the line this time. With it
is mixed mp party loyalty.

the earth, it would be moving no
less than seven miles in each second.
Now in exactly the same way, each
of the little meteoric particles away
off in space began long ago to feel
the pull, or "gravitation," of our
sun, and to fall toward that body. If
the meteorite and the sun had both
been at rest at first, the meteorite
would have simply fallen into our
sun; but as our sun is moving
through space at the rate of eleven
miles in each second, the meteorite
will not hit it exactly, but will miss
it and begin to, swing around 1t in a
curved path. AS the sun is SO much
larger than the earth, its pull is very
much greater. If You could visit the
sun, you would find when there that
you weighed more than twenty
seven times as much as you weigh on
the earth; that is, the sun would pull
you down twenty-Seven times as
hard as the earth does. If you weigh
100 pounds here, you would weigh
2700 pounds there, and be crushed
by your own weight. This great pull
OF the sun on each of the meteorites
makes them fall very swiftly in
deed; it is because the pull is so
strong that when they have fallen
toward the sun to the place where
the earth is, we find them moving
some twenty-six miles in a single
second.-St. Nicholas.

British Representation at Panama
Exp. BeDiscussedby Parliament.

London, Jan. 9.-The question wheth-
er England should take part in the
Panama Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco is to be raised in the House
of Commons in the debate on the ad-
dress in reply to the speech from the
throne with which each parliamentary
session is started.
Sir Edward Grey, who as,head of the
foreign office must take the RESPONSE
bility for the decision of the govern
ment not to take part in the exposl-
ton, has so far maintained silence on
the subject and the debate will give
him an opportunity of explaining and
defending ahis course of action. The
foreign secretary, it is believed, Will
dispose for once and all the reports
that an entangling arrangement with
Germany entered into the matter.
The official explanation of the refus-
al of the government to take part is
that it was due to the belief that there
would be great paucity of British ex-

Wall Papers and Light.

"The good lighting of room de-
ponds not only on the disposition Of
the lights SO as to produce an ade-
quate illumination and on the proper
shielding of the lamps so as to avoid
needless glare, but on the nature Of
the wall surface on which the light
falls" said Professor Silvanus Thomp-
son of London. Even when the illu-
mination that Is received by the walls
is ample the room may be badly lit if
the walls absorb too much Of that
illumination instead of giving 1t back
by diffuse reflection. Few people are
aware how much light is thus wasted
and thrown away

Commerce. Nearly all the cotton and
wooden manufactures in New Eng
land are owned by Boston people, Mr..
Preston said. He favored making the
six New England states regional
bank district with Boston as the CEN
ter.
Hugh Bancroft, chairman of the port
directors, who appeared for the Cham
Der of Commerce, quoted statistics
showing that imports at Boston had
increased from 100000 in 1911 to
s250,000,000 in 1913.
The greater portion of the forenoon
session was occupied by o. M. w.
Sprague. professor of finance and
banking at Harvard University, who
was closely questioned by the COM
mittee regarding where regional banks
should be located, not only in New
England, but in other parts of the
country.
Professor Sprague held that this
city should have a regional institu-
ton rather than a branch of New
