Few States Without Primaries.

All of the states in the Union have
some form of primary except Rhode
Island, Connecticut, Delaware, New
Mexico and Utah. North Carolina has
no direct primary, but has a presiden-

Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas
and Texas the Democrats nominate by
direct primary, but the statutes make
no provision for other parties. A full
primary law, passed in Vermont re-

$500, and will be in effect for the Sc
lection Of delegates to the national

and North Carolina, the following
states have a presidential preference

of the sun. Observations of the sun
are depended upon by vessels at sea
The first thing to do is to ascertain
what is known as your true north.
south line. To do this you must know
your longitude and have the correct
time. Next, measure the altitude OF
the sun at apparent noon-that is
when its shadow is north. Place a
curved piece of cardboard in the win
dow, with the blind drawn down to the
wood o. the upper window. The angle
made by the window will then indicate
the altitude of the sun with sufficient
accuracy.
Next, consult what is known as the
"Analemma" (see diagram). If you
live Il the northern hemisphere you
must subtract from the declination Of
the sun (Which the analemma gives
you) the suns declination. Subtract
this result from 90 degrees, and the
remainder is your latitude-Popular

Simple Method of Determining
Latitude.
Point Is to Be Sure of Location of the
North Star, Which Is Really All
the Astronomy Necessary
to Know.

There is a very simple way by
means of which the novice. unframed
in astronomical observation, can de.
termine his latitude, without the aid
OF complicated and expensive appa.
ratus.
If you were situated on the equator.
the North star would be directly north
OF you. This star must be learned and
ldentlhed, so that it can be picked out
anywhere at a moments notice. This
is all the astronomy you need know
as the location of this star will give
the latitude.
When half way to the North pole
the North star is midway between the
zenith and the northern horizon. At
the pole it is directly overhead. In
all other places its angle" varies, be-
ing, for example, 80 degrees at New
Orleans, 40 degrees at PHILADELPHIA,
and so on. The altitude of the North
star is the latitude of place north of
the equator. All that is necessary
then, to determine the latitude, is to
measure the angle of the North star
and thus determine the altitude of the
celestial pole. This will give the lati-
tude.
Take pair of ordinary compasses.
Open them, and place one point in a
a level window sill, holding the arm
upright. Now point the other arm of
the compass at the North Polar star.
The angle thus formed by the pair of
compasses will be fairly accurate, pro-
vided the pointing has been done care
fully and the other arm is held at
right angles to the sill
When the compasses have been adj
Justed, as explained, proceed to meas
ure the angle formed by the arm of
the compass. This will indicate your
latitude. For every degree of curva-
ture Of the earth, the North star rises
on, degree from the horizon. 1t is
thus an easy matter to see your lati-
tude from the number of degrees made
by the angle of your compass.
Another way to discover the latitude

much more often used-is by means

Most Interesting Experiment, Which

to the Deaf.

An interesting experiment that
proves what good sounding box the
human skull is can be performed by
anyone who has disk photograph 1t
is described by H. Gernsback in the
Electrical Experimenter as follows:
Stop up both OF your ears with cot
ton as tightly as possible, so that no
sound will be heard from the outside.
Now place an ordinary darning needle
between your teeth by biting on it
hard. taking care that the lips or
tongue do not touch the needle. The
latter is important, because il either
lip or tongue touch the needle the
sound will be decreased considerably.
For the best results the needle it.

that reason the darning needle should
be broken off about ~ inches from
It's sharp point. 1t goes without saying
that the sharp point should project out
OF the mouth, while the broken-off end
should be inside the mouth.
Now start an ordinary disk phono-
graph and carefully press down upon
the record with the needles point held
at the same angle as the reproducer's
needle is held ordinarily. With little
practice one will become proficient in
moving the head at the same ratio
OF speed as the ordinary reproducer
arm is moved from the outside of the
record toward the inside AS soon as
the needle touches the record with suf-
hcient pressure the inside of the head
will be filled Immediately with music
exceedingly loud and clear.
"A curious result of the experiment
is that person standing near by can
hear the music, the head acting as a
reproducer in this case"
Mr.. Gernsback asks deaf or partially
dear persons to try this and to write
to him about the result.

were REFRESHING some dark emotion or

Forty years ago this night Perry
was'a happy man, for tomorrow he
was to marry the beautiful Miss Mel

and less than q week later was laid

After the funeral Perry Fanchion
shut himself up, almost alone, in the
great house. Time moved on and peo-
pie forgot! One by one his friends
left him, until at last he stood alone, a
stranger In q stranger world!
About this time the poorer people,
the destitute Of the city, became aware
of the fact that they had a friend,
a very good, mysterious friend, mys-
FERROUS because, try as they might (and
did) they never could discover his
Identity.

this occurred among the unfortunate,
but as to where these mysterious pres.
ents zane from, or by whom present
ed, none could ever tell. But the chill
dren suspected Santa Claus Of having
q hand in the matter.
Tonight as Perry sat by the fire he
was very sad and very, very lonesome.
The town clock struck ten. Perry
arose, donned a huge fur coat to
play his little act bravely. A worn,
tired smile, played around his usually
grim mouth as he thought Of the scenes,
Of Joy and poverty he would witness
this night. He crossed the town with
rapid, nervous strides and entered a
little family burying ground. He was
gone for thirty minutes and when he
returned his face showed traces of
deep emotion.
"Good.night, sweetheart, I have wait
ed forty years; surely the end cannot
be far distant |" he murmured as he
softly closed the gate.
There came u jingling Of sleigh bells
"a sleigh drove up. he entered and
was whlrled away over the snow.
In a tiny little hovel on the edge of
the city five little curly-headed chill
