The perpendicularity of a monument
Is visibly affected by the rays Of the
sun. On every sunny day tall monu-

away from the sun. This phenomenon
Is due to the greater expansion Of the
side on which the rays of the sun fall.

There has been a slight increase in
the insane population of the state con-
