LEARNED COURSE OF LIGHT
knowledge That Has Made Possible
the Perfection of Delicate lnstru-
mems of Science.

IN the days before the manufacture
of glass was as well perfected as it
is today mirrors with uneven, imper-
feet surfaces. were often turned out.
When one looked into these the face
would appear to be distorted or bent
out of shape, owing to the different
angles at which the light was re-
fiected.
Much the same thing occurs when
we place stick In the water so that
one end is above the surface and the
other end below. There appears to be
below the water looking like 1t makes
a complete mgle with the portion
above This is due not to any action
of the water upon the stick, but to an
alteration in the direction of the rays
of light, known as "refraction."
The air and the water being OF
different densities, the light cannot
pass through both of them In the same
direction, and 1t is the rays them
selves-rather than the stick-which
are bent or distorted, though we have
the impression that the stick has been
affected.
Increased knowledge Of the princi-
pies which govern reflection. refrac-
ton and other courses of light have,
In comparatively recent years, made
possible the great improvement Of the
microscope, the telescope, the camera
and other apparatus in which light
plays leading part.-Chicago Journal.

OF SAME ORIGIN AS COAL
Wood Believed to Have Been the b.
sis of Jet, Used for Centuries
nHnanaAnfo

Jet is a sort of Ignite or anthracite.
often cut and polished, which has the
peculiarities In weight and texture OF
the hardest kind of anthracite. 1t has
been used IN Britain since before his
toric times and was common In the
bronze age. from which times have
come jet beads, buttons, -ings. arm
lets and other ornaments.
Julius Caesar alludes to the abun-
dance of jet In Britain and jet orna-
ments are found with Roman relics In
them, the Detroit News recalls. The
monks used jet for rosary beads at
Whitby abbey and at Whitney. where
1t was found in the greatest album
dance. It occurs In irregular masses
In hard shale known as Jet rock.
Often microscopic examination dis
closes cOniferous wood In the compost
ton of jet. 1t is probable that jet was
developed when masses Of wood drift
ed down a river, rotted or became wa
ter-logged and sank out at sea, becom-
ing gradually buried In deposit Of
fine mud, which hardened eventually
into shale. Sometimes drops Of btu
men are found IN Jet cavities, which
seems to confirm the suspicion OF its
wood origin.

DULUTH POLICE
FAIL TO ARREST
E. ]. SAILSTAD

Insurance companies that hold $751;
900 insurance on the life of Edward
j. Sailstad, Eau Claire manufacturer,
who was believed to have persisted in
a fire at a summer resort, have great
ly strengthened the belief that Sail
stad is still alive and that he or his
sunshine girl planted the bones
found in the ruins of the cottage in
order to cover the disappearance of
Sailstad Last Friday afternoon Du-
luth police officials promised the ar
rest of Sailstad before morning but on
Saturday and ever since they have
been unable to make good their prom
Use.
A Duluth taxi driver has positively
identified the pictures of the pair as
the couple whom he drove from Lake
Nebagamon to Duluth on the night of
the fire. After establishing the fact
that Sailstad was alive after the fire
insurance investigators again turned
their attention to Sailstad's personal
affairs in Eau Claire They report
having found that Sailstad a few
months ago owned $4,000 of Multitone
stock and that during the past few
months he had disposed of nearly all
VI HIS SlOCh duu IudJ NUSH lie icll
Eau Claire shortly before the fire he
had with him about $4,000. That he
had been receiving a salary of $3.50
per month from the Multitone COM
pany for being its president and man
ager and that he had an expense limit
of $40 per day while away on business.
Also that his income was far less than
his expenses the past summer and
that his financial situation was becom-
ing embarrassing.
The insurance investigators also
found that Sailstad had evidently
planned his getaway for an earlier
date but that there was an unknown
delay. This they base on the fact that
Sailstad allowed insurance policies to
lapse after giving his note in payment
of the first premium and then taking
out more insurance with another COM
Dany, also giving notes for the new
policies which come due next March.
Mrs. Sailstad, wife of the supposed
victim, has about concluded that her
husband is alive and has given the au-
thorities all the information possible
to assist in locating him and Dorothy
Anderson, the girl with whom authori-
ties believe he eloped

There are two groups Of persons
who oppose Socialism. One possesses
an intellectual conviction that the

EDITOR SPEAKS
TO BUSINESS MEN
GEO. NJ. ANDREWS TELLS
MERCHANTS THEY
NEED CITY BARN

The monthly dinner of the Wausau
Chamber of Commerce was held last
Thursday evening at Eagles Hall
where the ladies auxiliary of the fra
ternaI order of Eagles served an eX-
cellent repast.
One Of the important subjects of
the dinner was the authorization of
the Chamber of Commerce to raise
money for the construction and main
tenance of a community barn and sta
ton for the use of farmers whose
teams must be housed somewhere
while they are in Wausau.
Editor Speaker
The speaker of the evening was
George NJ. Andrews of Menominee,
Michigan, editor of the Cloverland
magazine. The "ClOverland" to which
Mr.. Andrews referred, is comprised of
the northern peninsula of Michigan,
the northern half of Wisconsin, and
northern Minnesota, which includes
some fifty million acres of forests and
cut-over land The United States de-
partment of agriculture has referred
to this territory as the richest, unde-
velOped pasture and grazing land in
the United States. Mr.. Andrews de-
clared that Marathon County, in the
heart of this, is one of the richest por-
tiOns of the area.
Unrest
To-day a spirit of unrest pervades
the world here as well as elsewhere"
said Mr.. Andrews, land the farmers
and dairymen through the propa-
ganda which has been circulated have
a feeling of antagOnism towards the
business men and city industry and
he has encouraged to form cooper
ative stores and warehouses and to
send money to the mail order houses
which flood the country with catalogs.
The local business men, however,
must show their friendship by more
than words. They must provide con-
veniences for farmers who come to
the city to shop. | spent several
weeks in Wausau last summer to re-
cuperate from an accident | found
no benches or seats out of doors. |
find you do not have any place for
the farmers to hitch their teams or
any resting place where the farmers
wives may take the children. These
things are necessary for the farmers
as they are quick to feel any slight or
neglect"
Discussion
The matter was Immediately taken
up by the president and a general dis
cussiOn was entered into by the mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce.
Among the speakers We're C. G. Krue-
ger, c. S. Dernbach, Oran Liljeqvest,
Frank j. Gaetzman, c. B Mayer, s.
Winkelman, John l.. Sell and others.
The committee which will investigate
and make arrangements for a finan-
cial campaign is composed of C. j.
Kruger, John Sell and Oran Lille

were taken up at the meeting
