mitted. These isolated images lie in the different colors-a red line if the wave length is long, violet line if it is short, green line if the light is of the aver age wave length-one fifty-thousandth of an inch. Each volatized substance gives out light of characteristic wave lengths by which it may be recognized, as each note on the keyboard gives out sound waves of characteristic length. The spectrum lines of a substance are it's identifying thumb prints.
 In nearly all spectroscopy of the heay- enly bodies the light to be examined is so faint that it must first be collected by a telescope. The bigger the glass of the telescope the more light it can collect. Hence the principal advantage or great telescope is for collecting light, not, as is generally supposed. for bringing the celestial body relatively very close by enormous magnification Spec troscopists sometimes expose a spectrum photograph for whole night The same star could be observed in a couple of hours with a telescope of five times the light gathering power On Mt Wilson. tLere will soon be available telescope

 Monarchs no longer ride forth crowned to battle. as did Richard III to his fatal fight on Boz rth Field. Nevertheless. even today crowns figure in the spectac- ular side of war more often than is com monly supposed. The King of Italy for instance, although he does not of course always wear it, carries his crown with him wherever he goes. and frequently dons it when he reviews his troops on ceremonial parades.
 This is in accordance with the custom and tradition of his house. The crown IS supposed to render it's wearer immune from harm, because inclosed Within the gold is tiny circlet of iron, said to have been made from nail out of the true cross.

CITY ADVERTISING

The Rotary club meeting yesterday
was essentially a get-together for
members, and the entire program was
occupied with talks on the objects and
ideals of Rotary. Rev. John H.
Brown presided in the absence of
Chairman Fisher who is spending his
vacation ON an extended motor trip.
The practical benefits of Rotary re-
ceived much attention and plans were
formulated for developing the spirit
of fraternalism more fully, and widen
ing the scope of the organization, I'M
til it's influence becomes broadly felt
throughout the community. The chief
speeches were made by Rev. John Ell,
Brown, J. H. Hendricks, J. H. Sheriff.,
w. H. Watson, and George H. Hervey
Mr.. Hervey suggested an extensive
advertising campaign be inaugurated
setting forth the advantage of Pen
sacola and West Florida. The plan
was referred to the publicity COM
mittee.

The changes are necessary chiefly
in old houses, and consist mainly in

are being made to lessen the POSSIBLE

NAVY YARD REVIVAL
ATTENDED BY MANY

Attendance at the Navy Yard
Methodist Church is increasing with
each service. Last night Rev. D. P.
Slaughter spoke on "The Parable of
the Talents" drawing therefrom
some valuable lessons.
"God gives every one the opportun-
ity to fulfill his mission in the world.
Our lives are profit1ess unless we car
ry out the purpose of our Creator for
them. The chief aim of every one
should be to glorify his Heavenly
Father.
This parable shows US the mercy
and justice of God. He does not ex-
pect the one-talented man to work
or accomplish as much as the man
with five, or even two talents, but He
does expect something from the in
vestment He has made in his life.
"Again, God will not accept any
excuse for failing to honor Him with
our time and substance"
In the closing thought, the speaker
showed that uselessness invited the
losing of what one had. "For unto
every one that hath shall be given;
but from him that hath not shall be
taken away that which he hath" If
we fail to live and do what God would
have us do, some day we will be cast
out as improbable servants, where
there shall be weeping and wailing
and gnashing of teeth.
Just before and at the conclusion
of the sermon, Miss Ada White sang
most impressively at Is Wonderful
and "Will There Be Any Stars in My
Crown"
All are cordially invited at 7:4E
o'clock each evening.
