Mileage Again.

One day last week Congressman Cox of Indiana and Congressman Humph- rav of Washington had a little tilt over mileage. Cox was mifed because Humphrey had criticised his course and charged Humphrey with being a mileage grabber because he came from a distant state. Humphrey came back and said that he had never "qtood upon the ecor ot the house Up1 made a spaach condemnIng mileage and then been the first man at the window to grab what was coming to him." Humphrey insisted that the man who fought mileage ought not to take mile age. but there has never been a man yet that has turned down the mileage appropriation, ''' '',',

1t has often been noticed that on
wet and foggy days sounds are heard
at a greater distance than on clear.
fine days. 1t was Tyndall 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 a great distance. In
clear weather the air may be composed
Of vertical layers of differing consist
ency, and the sound waves are re
flected 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.

Wintar's Short DAYS,

If were to paint the short days OF
winter l should paint two towering
icebergs approaching each other like
promOntories for morning and evening,
with cavernous recesses and n solitary
traveller wrapping his cloak about him
and bent forward against the driving
storm just entering the narrow pass.
l would paint the light Of a taper at
midday seen through n cottage win
dow, half buried In snow and frost.
80 In the foreground should appear
the harvest and far In the background
through the pass should be seen the
sewers In the fields and other evil
dences Of spring. On the right and
left Of the approaching icebergs the
heavens should be shaded of from the
light Of midday to midnight with its
stars, the sun being low in the sky

An electromagnet consists, essential
ly, OF core Of soft iron surrounded by
many turns Of insulated copper wire
through which a powerful electric cur
rent is made to flow. When the cur
rent starts flowing the iron instantly
becomes magnet, and when the cur
rent is shut Off the iron just as instant
ly loses its magnetism. An electromag-
net can be made much more powerful
than a permanent magnet of steel, and
1t is also much more useful, because its
magnetism may be turned on and off
at will. II is indispensable in making
telegraph Instruments, and in recent
years 1t has become hardly less indis-
pensable as kind Of giant derrick
hand for picking up tons Of steel and
iron and depositing them wherever
they are wanted.-New York Journal.

A Smoke Puzzle.

zone day on approaching our fac.
tory" writes an American engineer In
Cuba, 81 noticed a great cloud of
smoke, oily and black, rolling out of
the chimneys and blotting out the sur
rounding landscape. l went to the
boiler room and gave the firemen a
good dressing down for allowing so
much smoke to escape, telling them 1t
was throwing money away and that II
they could not fire better would have
to discharge them.
81 thought no more Of 1t till the next
morning, when, on entering the engine
room, found the chief mechanic jubi-
liant over some joke. He told me that
the chief fireman, a negro, had come to
him with tears In his eyes and had
said: Mr.. U. says that we must not
let the smoke go out the chimney; II
we do he will discharge US. Now, IL the
smoke cannot go out Of the chimney,
where can we put itP "-Power.

stitution. The debtor was free from
arrest during the week. On entering
the sanctuary he enrolled himself In a
formal manner and obtained a room
that is, II he could pay for it. There
was a public house within the bound
aries and 1t was not uncommon to see
the debtor in the inn playing dominoes
and his creditor standing looking In at
the window with wistful eyes. The
debtor was safe, and he knew 1t, and
the face Of the creditor told the same
tale. Sunday being dies non, the
debtor could leave his sanctuary and
visit his family, but he had to be care
full to get back to Hollywood on Sunday
night. Sometimes a debtor had the
temerity to leave on a week day, but
he did 80 at his peril. Specta-
