Light, sound and wireless teIegraphy spread out and become weaker as they travel. An electric message sent on a wire does not weaken nearly so much. This explains the great difficulty at first experienced in getting wireless messages across the Atlantic, although it was quite easy to get the message across by wire.
 On the other hand, light can be made to travel without spreading out, and searchhghts keep the light travelling almost as if it were on wire, so that it does not spread out and get weaker.
 The object of the great telescopes which have been invented is to collect the light from the stars which is weak ened by its long journey. One of the greatest of the telescopes used for as- tronomical purposes IS the vertical telescopic tower, 15O feet high, as we'll as eighty feet into the ground and built by Professor Hale, on Mount Nelson, Cal, the actual telescope used being eight feet in diameter.

is direct, somewhat blunt; and toier- ates no interference. Now and then a German officer in the service Of the Sultan would lodge complaint with Sanders Pasha without bringing It first to his immediate Turkish super for. Sanders Pasha always took the view that it made no difference to him whether an officer was of Ger man or Turkish origin and that no favors need be expected by an officer, merely for reason that he was Ger
 man. This attitude did not make friends in certain German circles for the "AIeman Pasha'' as Sanders is known to the common soldiers of the Turkish army, who have come to love him for his extreme impartiality. En- yer Pasha knew this and stood by the commander of the Gallipoi forces through thick and thin.
 It cannot be said that the Germans have had an easy row to hoe with the Turks. The Ottoman government officials and army officers are ex- tremely jealous of their rights and prerogatives and many a difficulty arising from a non-regard of this had to be strengthened out by Captain Hu- mann. There were times when he was the busiest man in all Constanti- nop1e, and when Captain von Haas, another officer of the German naval base had to come to his assistance.
 Captain von Haas, born in Constan- tinop1e of an American mother, has been in the banking business there for many years and is especially valuable to the German embassy and the TUr- kish government in matters of a non
 military nature. He and Captain Hu- mann have no reason to say that the Germans have subjugated the Turks, because they had to ask too many favors of the latter.
 Those doubting the absolute autono- my of Turkey and its government af- ter talk with Captains Human and von Haas should attend war council in Stambou1, occasions which have ever made Enver Pasha. famous for his position that he will take advice but no commands.

HeIter Skal4er

'eHelter skelter'' has been sugges- lively defined as a jingling expression vaguely initiating the hurried chatter of feet rapidly and irregularly moved. Most dictionaries, however, led astray probably by the ordinary orthography, have missed the true etymology of this phrase. It should be ''helter kelter." ''Helter'' is an old word for hang" probably connected with halter. and 'kelter'' is used by old writers in the sense of ''order'' or the proper state. Thus Barrow, the divine, says, ''If the organs of prayer be out of kelter how can we pray?' "Helter skelter.'' there fore. is literally hang order" and means, "Oh, hang order; let us do it, or let it take it's chance" Ben Jon son in Every Man In His Humor" writes, "Helter slkelter. hang sorrow, care'll kill cat and Shakespeare, using it to express rush and hurry. says, "Helter skclter have I rode to .hee.''

Successful saIssmen.

In the American Magazine success full salesman says:
 "A salesman should look healthy. I formed a theory on that point long while ago and have proved it since then more than a thousand times. At first didn't know exactly why it was, but now I think I have succeeded in figuring out the psychology of the thing.
 ''In the first place, the best selling point for an article is to get it asso- ciated in the mind of the customer with success. Everything even remotely connected with the article that sug- gests success is a point which weighs in favor of the sale. If the salesman looks prosperous the customer uncon- sc1ously or Fubconsciously receives the impression that this prosperity grew out of the excellence of the article he is selling. The salesman should carry into a store an impression of success, prosperity and harmony. Now, the idea of complete harmony cannot be conveyed, as I look at it, without health.''
