, Both the personnel and the purposes Of President Wilson's recently created Mexican commission have been en- .husias.ically indorsed by scores of leading Republican and non-partisan newspapers which obviously disagree with Candidate Hughes program of indiscriminate denunciation of the ad- ministration's policies.
 While Mir Hughes has sedulously endeavored to raise a Mexican issue" upon his western campaign tour, the Republican and independent press in all parts of the country has acclaimed President Wilson's action with appro- val. Apparently MT. Hughes siS years tetirement from the activities of public life have put him completely out of touch with current public opin- ion, and it is hardly to be expected that he will be able now to catch up with the opinions and aspirations of the nation by addressing partisan au- diences.
 For example, the Philadelphia Press, one of the leading Republican papers of Pennsylvania, supporting Mir. Hughes, says that President Wilson has taken "a distinct step forward to- ward the solution of the vexed Amer can-Mexican problems"
 Highly Commended
 Referring to the presidents appoin- tees, it says:
 Commentator, hearty and unre- served, will be extended by the whole public to President Wilson's final se- lection of delegates to the Mexican American conference.
 There can be no doubt that the American delegates will meet the Mexican delegates with sympathetic eagerness to facilitate a settlement in accordance with the presidents fixed policy of peace and helpful friendship for the distraught republic across the Rio Grande."
 The New York Commercial, lead ing non-partisan financial paper of countrywide circulation, referring to the course of the Democratic admins tration, says:
 '1t can claim credit for keeping us out of war with Mexico and for safe guarding our frontiers. The federal administration should not be in fiuenced by the attempts of the Oppo- sition to make political capital out of this situation"
 The New York Sun, Republican and violently standardization, says edi- torially:
 President Wilson has apparently made a good choice of Mexican com missioners. The ability or Franklin K. Lane is now generally known; it is coupled with an imaginative gift that may be of value in the negotiations to be begun. Judge George Gray is highly qualified by his services at the making of peace with Spain in 1898, on the anthracite board in 1902 and as a member of thepeace court at The Hague. John R. Mott is a tireless worker who has the respect of all who know him."

TORRICELL's VACUUM.
Experiment That Led to the Invention
of the Barometer.

of the Barometer.
The barometer was invented by Tor
ricelli, a pupil Of Galilei, in 1913. In
attempting to pump water from very
deep well near Florence he found that
in spite Of all his efforts the liquid
would not rise higher in the pump
stock than thirty-two feet.
This set the young scientist to think
ing, and as he could not account for the
phenomenon in any other way he was
not slow in attributing it to atmos-
pheric pressure He argued that water
would rise in vacuum only to such ; /
height as would render the downward
pressure or weight Of the column
water just equal to the atmospheric
pressure and, further, that should al
heavier fluid be used the height Of the
column could be much reduced.
To prove this he selected glass tube
four feet long and after sealing one
end filed it with mercury and then in
verted it in a basin containing a guam
tity Of the same peculiar liquid. The
column in the tube quickly fell to
height of nearly thirty inches above
the mercury in the basin, leaving in
the top of the tube a vacuum which is
the most perfect that has ever been
obtained and which is to this day cali
ed the Torricelli vacuum in honor OF
its discoverer.
The name Of the instrument means
weight or pressure measure" and its
fundamental principles cannot be bet
ter illustrated than by the above de-
scribed experiment.

GIFT OF THE CAB.
Why Stephenson Thought There Was
Mo Power to Equal 1t.

When George Stephenson. the per-
fector Of the locomotive, was visiting
the seat Of Sir Robert Peel at Drayton
on one occasion. says the writer of
Famous British Engineers" there
happened to be present DR.. Buckland.
the scientist, and Sir William Follett.
the famous advocate.
Stephenson discussed with DR.. Buck
land one Of his favorite theories as TO
the formation Of coal and, though un-
doubtedly in the right, was ultimately
vanquished by the arguments and ora
tory Of the doctor. who was a better
master Of tongue fence than himself.
Next morning while pondering over his
defeat in the solitude Of the garden he
was accosted by Sir William Follett
and @onfded to that gentleman the
story of his failure.
Sir William, acquainted with the de
tails of the matter in dispute, agreed
to take up the case and soon after
ward attacked Dr. Buckland on the
subjec, A long discussion ensued, III
which the man Of law completely 81
fenced the man Of science, who was
at last compelled to own himself van
ouished. Sir Robert Peel, highly
amused at this example Of 'tit for
tat" then turned to the inventor and
inquired, with laugh:
"And what do you say on this mat
ter Mr. Stephenson?'
"Why," he replied, 81 will only say
this-that Of all the powers above and
under the earth there seems to me no
power equal to the gift Of the gab.'

Needless to say. no wells were dug.

the result. But the people did not

It was the duty of every Korean

DISASTERS RUN IN SERIES.
Long Periods Of Security Lead to a
Relaxation of Vigilance.

The careful observer long ago noted
that disasters run in series and that
intervals of considerable length fire.
Quently occur between the series.
Thus three or four railway smashUNs
happen within a few days, to be fol-
lowed by several, months in which not
a jar is recorded. Or several cities are
within a few days visited by big fires,
after which there usually lapses long
period in which only minor fires are Be-
eorded.
Why this peculiar condition should
exist is puzzling only to those who do
not seek the reason in their own hab-
it's and experiences. The individual
who will keep close watch on himself
will discover that he performs his du-
ties accurately and we'll for long Pc
riods, followed by short seasons when
blunders are frequent and eXaSperat-
ing. This is due to a sense OF security
created by the long period of accuracy,
leading to a relaxation Of vigilance.
The instant tension is relaxed and duty
is per- lormed automatically rather than
with concentrated intelligence blunders
multiply.
So when railroad men go long Pc
riods without disasters there is some
where along the line a relaxation pro-
ductive Of trouble. Fires break out be-
cause vigilance lets down from a sense
Of security.
The lesson is, Of course, almost too
obvious to require statement. Don't
be lulled by long stretches Of perfect
work or security into thinking you
never can err, never can be plunged
by a mismove into danger. = Detroit
