Scientist Discovers the
Cause of FIuctuati0n in
the Motion of the Moon

The cause of the fluctuation in the
motion of the moon which long has
been a puzzle to astronomers-has been
discovered by Prof. T. J. J.. See, direc-
tor of the naval observatory at Mare
Island, California.
Professor See states that the cleo
trodynamic waves of the sun are the
force of gravitation in the solar sys'
ten and are modified as to the moon, be-
cause the force is eXerted through the
mass of the earth. This i~nterposition
of the earth between the sur and moon
causes the electro-dynamic "a of
the sun to undergo circular refraction,
dispersion and absorption. This, says
Professor See, weakens the action of
the sun on the moon when that satel-
lite is near the shadow of the earth, as
at the time of lunar eclipses. This
weakening of the g~ravitational force
of the sun on the moon causes the
fluctuations in the moons revolution
in it's orbits.
In 1878 Simon Newcomb finished an
elaborate investigation showing that
the moons motion is irregular, and
from that day to this the Irregularities
of the moon have defied all astrono-
mers and mathematician. Professor
See states that the Irregularities in
the moons motion may be calculated.
and that thereby the accuracy of the
predicted places in it's orbit may be in
creased twelvefold.
mo irregularity," he asserted, nov
remains in the moons motion large
enough to be seen in the transit circles
used by astronomers. Thus with the
previous mathematical development
carried out by Newton, Laplace, Hill,
Newcomb, Brown and others, the lunar
theory will be entirely perfected.
Professor See regards his discovery
as to the cause of the lunar tluctua-
tons, and his successful working out
of tables that indicate the place of the
moon in its orbit more accurately than
has been done heretofore, as corrobo-
rative of his theory of the u of
gravitation. He has sent a report on
his discovery to the Royal Astronomi-
cal society, London, and to scientific
societies in Paris, Stockholm and Edin-
burSh.

Sunday Night Supper

SUNDAY Nl9nt supper
The Sunday night supper should be
the happy meal of the week, for young
aud old, a time when a few friends
may gather for a quiet hour and ENJOY
each others society. The meal should
not be a burden to the house mother,
for in many homes it is entirely given
over to the young people or the men of
the family to prepare and serve. They
usually delight in preparing some SIM
pie dish, at the CRATE, chatting dish or
electric grill. Sandwiches may be pre-
pared beforehand and the meal may
be served from a small table in :he
living room, everybody sitting cozily
about the fire, unless there are some
who prefer a table, to holding the
plate and cup in the lap. For the
drink cocoa is the most often used, as
it is one that may be given to ever
the small people. Matted milk, tea or
coffee are all acceptable drinks and
rarely refused.
A simple salad of some kind, depend
ing upon the family taste or the heart
mess Of the dinner which has been
eaten at one or two o'clock, should be
served.
A hot dish, some jelly preserves or
fruit with a bit of cake makes a good
supper. For u cool night the oyster
stew is a great favorite, being served
with a salad of shredded cabbage
dressed with vinegar and seasonings.
Tea should follow this main dish.
Frankforts cut in thin slices and
sauted in a little butter make an ap-
petizing dish which is a general favor
lite. Served with buttered toast and a
hot drink this makes a good light sup

Kubelik had from birth over the little

He was not a man of education in

but he was a first-class army cook.
On scraps of wrapping paper or old
bills he kept a copy of every recipe he
had ever tried. These were edited by
Colonel Holbrook, then in command at
Fort Riley, and published in a little

TARTAN OF THE APES"

The following is an account of the
showing of "Tarzen Of the Apes" at
the Broadway Theatre in, New York

be but one show each evening at 8

MOVING PICTURES OF

The J. B. Streeter Corporation is
busy in different sections Of the coun-
ty this week taking motion pictures
OF farms, farm scenes, and farming
operations pertaining to the harvest

have a camera man here from the
Rath-Sevold Company of St. Paul who
is devoting his entire time to this
work, assisted by Mr.. Streeter and
several Of the employees.
AS soon as these films are developed
and assembled they will be placed on a
circuit, the opening show being given
in this city the latter part Of next
week. After that they will be booked
into the theatres in the south, east
and central states, where it is expect

TRADING AT HOME

Professor Paul II. Nystrom. in his
interesting book, "The Economics of
Retailing" states that "when one adds
up all expense properly chargeable
and incident to dealing with a mail or
der concern, it is open to question
whether the mail order method of dis
tribution is more economical than the
older Observation-Disclosures meth
3D."
After having made a life study of
the subject, Professor Nystrorn, figures
that out Of each dollar a customer
spends with a mail order house, 20
per cent goes toward the cost of the
mail order house and ten per cent for
the cost Of mail order transportation,
a total Of thirty per cent. Out of ev-
cry dollar spent at alocal store, twelve
per cent is for the wholesalers cost; 9
per cent for transportation, and 16 per
cent for the retailer. a total of 80 per
cent. y
Thus the cost Of doing business are
the same, but the mail order method
has three distinct disadvantages so far
as the customer is concerned:
1. Interest is lost on money paid in
advance. (Where a mail order house
receives as much as one million dollars
ina single day, the interest on this
money forr the time prior to the receipt
Of the goods is a big item.).
2. Delay in receiving the goods and
in exchanging goods,
3. 1mpossibility of examining mer
chandise previous to buying or receipt
of goods.
There are many distinct advantages
in bpying at home aside from the prin'
cipal one of helping build up your owl
