Mighty Capella.

The star Capella is hundred times
brighter and hotter than our sun. Ii
the earth were as near to Capella as it
is to the sun the thermometer df an
instrument could be made capable of
bearing such temperatures would rise
in July not merely to a hundred, but
to 10000 degrees F.. The oceans would
fly off in puffs of steam. The forests
and fields would kindle and burn like
matchwood. The mountains and hills
would melt like beeswax in a redhot
oven. The earth in the rays Of CO.
pella would be as a moth in a candle

WANT A QUIET SP0T7

Well, Here's Place, Not a Grave,
Where No Noise May Enter.
If you should ask your friends to
name the quietest place in the
world you would probably get a
great variety of answers. Some
would say the summit of high
mountain, others distant place in
the middle of the ocean or an iso-
lated spot in the desert. But on
the mountain peaks and in the
quiet Of the wilderness there are
usually birds to break the silence,
and the roar of the wind and the
dashing of the waves disturb the
peace of the ocean.
We need not flee from civiliza-
tiop to find the quietest place in
the world, for it is in the heart of
II c1ty-the city Of Utrecht in Hcl-
land. This quiet place is room for
scientific research, especially built
to avoid all vibration. Professor
Fl. Zwaardemaker, a well known
Dutch physicist and Psychologist,
had it built. An attempt to con-
struct a noise proof room had been
made once before by Professor
Wandt in Leipzig, but that was not
entirely successful. The means that
Professor Zwaardemaker used are
worthy to be recorded.
In the first place he built three
rooms, one inside Of another; then,
since a vacuum is a poor conductor
of sound, he had the air all pumped
from between the walls. The in
terror walls of the rooms were COW
cred with six layers of material.
One layer was of stone blocks,
treated by a special process. The
cavities between the stones were
filled with horsehair; next to the
stones were placed layers of wood
and cork. The other coverings
were layers of lead plate, sea grass
and paper. The walls were further
lined with tapestry, to absorb the
internal sounds. Not the slightest
sound can penetrate to the inner
most chamber. In that room there
rules an absolute quiet-a quiet that
can be found in no other place on
earth. outh's Companion.

A petition was circulated in the
city during the past week asking
the government to place an embargo
