Satisfied With His Work
Star Siuht.

By all the rules of the game of ma
ture we should not be able to see a
star at all, for it appears from the
earth as a geometrical point. a thing
without dimensions. and cannot be
measured even in the most powerful
telescope. A star appears in tele-
scope Just as it does to the naked eye.
Now the question naturally comes up
as to why we can perceive star, a
thing with no dimensions. We GER
tainIy cannot see so small thing I'M
der the microscope. The whole answer
is Il regularity of the human eye and.
in fact. of all optical instruments, call
ed diffraction. A lens does not focus
parallel rays of light to geometrical
point. even though they come from a
point. and SO a small disk is printed
on the retina by a star. and the star is
perceived Remember though. that
only the stars effect is perceived with
the eye. A planet of course is differ
ent. as it is comparatively close to US.
and its actual disk may be seen and
measured in the telescope. just as that
of the moon can be seen with the max
ed eye.-Chicago Herald.

Born of an Odor.

Professor Alexander Graham Bell
once gave an account. which is here
condensed. Of an invention founded on
a smell.
First. a chemist detected in sulphuric
acid waste an odor which on analysis
was found to come from a hitherto
unknown substance. This was called
Siienium.
Second. silenium crystallized was
found to be conductor of electricity
of phenomenally high resistance.
Third the new resistant. having
been put to use in place of whole coils
of wire to balance the Atlantic cable
during the period of laying. was found
to have at night twice its resisting
power of the daytime.
Fourth. Professor Bell playing upon
siIenium's sensitiveness to light pro
duced the photophone. by means of
which one may talk over beam of
light.

Papal Names.

Every one knows that as soon as a
cardinal becomes pope he Is no
longer known by his own name. but
takes a new one. This custom origi-
mated out Of reverence for st Peter.
This custom. now a law of the
church. had its origin in Ssi. when

He held that ii would be presumptu
Gus to style himself Peter H.. so be
adopted the name of Sergius III. Be
fore that time many popes had chang
ed their names, but Ii was not obliga
tory for them to do so. Sergius Ill.
not only established precedent In
this direction. but he set an example
which all pontiffs have followed in
that none of them has ever retained
or assumed the name of Peter.

The Cynics.

Cynics was the name applied to a
school of philosophers founded by An
tisthenes. pupil of Socrates. The
main tenet of the extreme cynics was
that civilization is a curse. and true
happiness can be obtained only by
gratifying the most primary physical
appetites which man has in common
with brutes. The general attitude Of
the cynics as distinguished from that
of the stoics. who regarded everything
in the external world with indiffer
ence. was one of contempt. They were
not an important philosophical school
numerically. but attracted attention
largely by their eccentricities and inso
lence. On account of their contempt
for refinement their name came subse-
quently to be applied to any one who
takes a mean view of human life.

New State Prison
Slowly Absorbing
Army of ConviCts
Transfer Goes Silently On And Aug.
l VIII See Old Penitentiary Vir-
tually Abandoned
WARDEN's DREAM IS REALIZED
Saltwater Must Annex New Site
Before The Change Can Be
Made Complete

So slowly and methodically that
the change is hardly noticeable, even
in the big kitchen of the institution,
the last of the states Saltwater wards
are being removed from the old prison
into the new. By Aug. l it is ex-
pected the remaining 300 conVicts
now occupying cells in the old prison
will have been moved to their new
home, and the life dream Of Warden
Henry Wolfer, that Minnesota's con-
victs would one day be housed in the
most modern, complete and best ap-
pointed penal institution in the world,
will have become a reality.
New Site Must Be Annexed
Complete transfer of the convicts
cannot be made until Saltwater an
nexes the territory occupied by the
new prison. The state constitution
provides that the state prison shall
be "in Saltwater" When the consti-
tuition was adopted st. Paul drew the
capitol, Minneapolis the university
and Saltwater the prison. The new
prison is now outside the corpora
ton line, but it is expected the Still
water city council will annex the ter
ritory. Until it does the old prison
cannot be fully abandoned. 1t will
be necessary to keep some prisoners
in the old place and maintain the &C
tual administration headquarters there
Transferred in Small Squads
Three or four times each week from
thirty-fve to forty-five Of the con-
victs are transferred to cells in the
new prison. No warning is given to
the men of the change, and the first
intimation they have that they are
to go is when one Of the keepers calls
to one of the gangs in the work shops,
just as the days tasks are ended, and
orders them into one of the institu-
tons big automobile trucks. The or
der is obeyed with great alacrity and
iAlNGIl TX al hllO" "itcib
it means and all are eager for the
transfer.
Prisoners Well Behaved
The ride is three miles in length
and on the way the men joke and
laugh like school boys on hayrack.
Only two keepers accompany the men,
for Warden VOTERS charges are well
behaved, and all intent upon earning
their copper" as the prisoners desig-
nate that portion of their sentence
discounted by good behavior.
NeighbOrs Still Neighbors
The men are placed in their new
cells, and usually in about the same
order that obtained in the old prison
neighbors still being neighbors; af-
ter getting settled, they turn out
with the other prisoners and march
into the big dining hall for supper
One of the first treats the newcomers
enjoy is hearing the band play while

Prison Pays for Itself

1t was Warden Wolfer's idea, too,
that the money to provide the model
institution of which he dreamed.
should be earned by the prisoners
themselves. Under his management
the state penitentiary has never cost
the taxpayers of Minnesota dollar,
and the s2,6O0.OOO expended in the
erection and appointing of the new
prison represents a profit earned by
the labor of his charges.

Works Out Reform Plan

Twenty-three years ago Warden
Wolfer came to Saltwater Even then
his fame as a penologist had spread
over the country, for he had been in
prison work for years before he first
saw the gray walls of the old Still
water prison. Then it was he con-
ceived the idea of a prison such as
he controls today; plan after plan
was made only to be erased and re-
drawn, as little by little he learned
more of the needs OF the institution
and the men confined within it. It
was a part of his idea that the uplift
movement among the convicts would
be done better when they were housed
like human beings and not Gagged like
animals in a menagerie.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1914-08-04
All Anxious to Move
Will End Wolfer's Work

BY Aug. /, the last of the men will
be in the new prison, and then will
Warden Wolfer consider his work
done and turn the new and most Won
derfully complete prison in the world
over to its new warden, Charles S.
Reed, formerly superintendent of the
state reformatory at St. Cloud.
