Porch BEYOND BUILDING
Line ILLEGAL, COURT SAYS

In City Court today Judge Philip y.
Churohman handed down an opinion in
the first of four cases brought. by the
city against Peter j. Ford for alleged
violation OF city ordinance by the
erection of porches extending beyond
the city building line The first case
charged Mr. Ford with building porch
in front of the property No. 1913 West
Fourth street, which extended more than
four feet beyond the building line. Judge
Churchman IN his opinion adjudged Mr..
Ford guilty in this case and imposed
the mininus fine Of 81 and costs.
After imposing the fine Judge
Churchman asked Robert H. Hartman
counsel for Mr. Ford, II he desired 70
make any motion In the matter. Mr..
Hartman said he wished to make no
motion today as he had three days
in which 10 make any motion in re-
spect 10 an appeal. Assistant City
Solicitor Lynn asked what was to
become of the other cases which are
for alleged violations in the erection
Of porches al Nos. 414. 416 and AIS
! Delamore Place. Mr. Hartman said
he desired that no action be taken in
those cases until the first case was
| disposed Of II was finally decided
that the whole matter should go over
until next Tuesday.
The opinion handed down by Judge
/ Churchman was very exhaustive, COW
ering thirty-two typewriter pages.
The court stated that the facts al
legged we're proved and not denied by
the defendant.
The defendants counsel contended
that the resolution of the Street and
Sewer Department under which the
/ prosecution was brought was arbi-
trary. first because Il Is not uniform
but impartial and discriminating in
its operation.
Second. the Street and Sewer De-
partment has attempted to exercise a
power II did not possess. l. e.. diyid.
ing the city into districts.
In respect TO the first contention
Judge Churchman said that the Street
and Sewer Department. in adopting
that part Of the resolution, In relation
TO porches, has undoubtedly acted
wisely and In consonance with the best
interests OF the public.
In this view Of the subject. and
quite aside from the general law on
the subject, am quite clear that tho
Legislature intended TO grant to this
Street and Sewer Department the very
power II has exercised. And further
am convinced that the Legislature
intended TO turn over to that depart
ment the full and complete authority
control and jurisdiction Of the stat,
over the subject matters contained IL

Why Is the Sky Blue?

When a piece of iron is slowly heat ed in flame it at first radiates heat. and as the frequency of the wave mo- lions becomes greater it radiates light first red rays, then yellow and final ly, if the heat is very intense. white light is emitted. The red rays are longer and of less frequency than the blue. When white light is passed through a prism the waves are. acted upon and are separated. The red rays are diverted less from their previous direction than the violet. This is ex- emplified by light from a clear sky. Refracted by suspended particles in the air, the blue rays are diverted more than the others and give blue appearance to the otherwise colorless clear sky.-Samuel S. Sadtler, s. B., in Chemistry of Familiar Things"

The ciearmakers' Luxury.

Besides the privilege of having news papers and novels read to him while he works, the Cuban cigarmaker demands another indulgence-that of cheering his labors with cigars provided by the firm. Every morning six high grade wrappers are handed to him for his own use, and in these he folds as much as he likes of the tobacco supplied him for the days work. The cigars thus made and consumed are said to cost the Havana tobacco industry a sum of close on $250,0O0 a year. The head of one great firm once declared that he would willingly make over his factory and plantations to his employees if in return they undertook to give him the cigars they rolled for themselves.

Crack of a Bullet.

That bullets neither whine. hiss. howl. hum nor whisper. noveliSts to the contrary notwithstanding. is in- formation given by Edward C. Cross man in Outing. With one possible ex- ception-when in certain conditions of open country modern military bullets hiss to those standing back of the fir ing line-nothing is audible except a sharp crash of air closing around the bullets base when it travels at high speed. At velocity of 1900 feet a second. or more. the noise is Hike nothing so much as long and very violently cracked blacksnake whip" Those who stand far enough from the rifle hear the bullets crack and later the dull. thudding noise of the rifle It. self. which has been outspeeded.

Bullet Stopping Tricks.

Five feet of clay. three feet of loose earth, or two and half feet of sand will stop q modern rifle bullet at the closest range: but. curiously enough. as the layman may think. ramming earth hard reduces It's resisting power. and high velocity bullets have less pene tration in sand at short than at me. dium range. Eighteen inches of sand between boards Is bullet proof. also nine inches of well built brick work. Soft wood. like fir. across the grain k bullet proof at point blank range if forty-eight inches thick. or at 5OO yards if half us thick. Similarly. twenty seven inches of hard wood. like oak. is point blank proof. or fifteen inches at 500 yards. Half an inch of wrought iron or mild steel. a quarter of an inch of hard steel. or a fifth of an inch of special steel is bullet proof. So are six inches of shingle. fifteen inches of coal, or. as some people may be sur prised to know, eight feet of snow. ---. London Express.

To Create a Vacuum.

If you have ever worked in a phys ical laboratory you probably have seen d vacuum receiver and learned how difficult it is to create perfect vacuum even with this instrument.
 A vacuum can he created in single way Ey using two drinking glasses. a small candle end and a piece of blot ting paper. The glasses must be the same size and of the thin glass kind. The candle end is lighted and put into one glass. the plotting paper is well dampened and placed on top of the glass. the other :.ass inverted and Its rim placed exactly over the lower one and pressed down tightly. The candle will burn up all the oxygen in the glass and 20 out.
 The air in the glass. being heated, will expand. and some of it will he forced out from under the moist paper; then as the portion remaining cools it will contract and draw the upper glass on the paper and create an air tight joint.

Bacon on Sea Power.

It was Francis Bacon. after the ships of England had destroyed "the in- vincible armada" who in a chapter entitled Of the True Greatnesse of Kingdomes and Estates" proclaimed his idea that sea power is world pow CT. He said:
 "We see the great Effects of Bat tailes by Sea. The Battaile of Actium decided the Empire of the World. The Battaile of Lepanto arrested the Greatnesse of the Turke. There be many Examples, where Sea-Fights have beene Finall to the Ware; But this is, when Princes or States, have set up their Rest. upon the Battailes. But thus much is certaine; That hee who Commands the Sea, is at great Liberty. and may take as much, and as little of the Warre. as he will. Whereas those, that be strongest by land, are many times neverthelesse in great Straights."
