WASTED ENERGY OF THE SUN
Only Minute Fraction Of Its Tremen-
dous Heat Strikes the Earth and
Becomes Useful.

depression on the energy of the
past sun may be permitted. All that
the earth has caught, for all the mil
lions of years that it has existed. is
the merest fraction of what the sun
has radiated in the same time, accord
ing to a lecture by Sir Oliver Lodge,
reported In the Scientific American.
The earth to the sun is like a print
er's full stop at distance of ten feet
from a halfpenny. Some of the radia-
tion from a globe one inch in diameter
falls on the spot one one-hundredth
inch in diameter ten feet away, but
that little speck only catches the hun
dred and fifty millionth part of the
whole. What has become of the rest
of the solar energy? 1t must still be
careering through space. The ether is
perfectly transparent and only when it
encounters matter will the radiation
be mopped up and turned into heat.
Not our sun only, but all the mil
lions of other suns, have likewise been
always pouring out radiation into
space. Is there any hope of catching
and utilizing it? trow not. In spite
of all this constant flood of energy
space is cold; very near absolute zero.
The reservoir is so enormous that all
these taps, running for ages. have
made no impression on it, have not
raised the level a perceptible amount.

HISTORY REVEALED BY NAMES
BY Them II Is Possible to Ascertain
What Races Have Inhabited
Different Districts.

In the earliest days of the human
family. all known persons, places and
groups of human beings must have
had names by which they were recog-
niZed.
The study of these names and their
survival in civilization enables us of
ten to ascertain what races inhabited
districts now peopled by those Of en-
treIy different speech.
The names of mountains and rivers
in many parts of England, for in
stance, are Celtic.
Ancient local names are, as rule,
purely descriptive. A river is called
by some word which merely signifies
"the water" mountain may have
a name which means 1.-THE peak" "the
CASTLE" "the point"
English place names generally state
some simple fact, and often denote
no more than property; the name of
a town or hamlet being formed by
adding "ton" or cham" to the name
of some early landholder.
Quite often a bit of even half-hu'
morous description will survive In
such q name, as when a stony, starved
and weedy district is called Starvacre.

J.PAh E.,Gt.LY BACK NUMBER
I rcVe That the Chinese Are the
More Progressive.

1t may strike the western reader a.
simply funny. but more than one Chi
nese friend has assured me that 1t is
the Japanese people who are really
conservative. And they back up their
assertion by evidence other than the
way in which Japan has chung through
all historic vieissitudes. TO primitive
theocracy, John Dewey writes In Asia
Magazine. They point out, for exam
! pie that a thousand years ago The Jap
anese borrowed the present style Of
clothing and of household FURNISHING
of sitting and SLEEPING on mats. froii.
China: that China has changed sew
eral times, moving constantly in the di
recton of practical utility, Of ingeni
GUS adaptation of means to needs. The
Chinese cuisine is another argument,
II is doubtless the most extensive in
the world in the variety of material
employed for food, and also the most
varied in its combinations. Academic
analysis may despise arguments drawn
from food, clothing, shelter and fur
nishings. But when one notes the va
riety and ingenuity of the processes
and appliances used in daily life and in
the crafts, one is certain that the Chi
nese mind is naturally observant and
adaptive. But 1t seems unnecessary to
labor the question. Many charges have
been brought against the Chinese, but
no one has ever accused them of stu
pidity. Their undoubted conservatism
is something to be explained rather
than an explanation of anything.

Stores Close at 6 O'clock.

For the first time in several years
practically all the stores of this city
are now closed at o'clock in the
evening, excepting Saturdays, and
the grocery stores close Wednesday
afternoons.
The general 6 o'clock closing move
ment will probably last through July
and August, unless somebody changes
their mind, in which event they will
all reopen again.
The Wednesday afternoon closing
movement has never been popular
with the farmers, many of whom
come to town to trade on that day,
but the chain stores originally start
ed the movement, and the others fell
in line.

TO PRISON FOR WlTCHCRAFT
Canadian Authorities Revive Ancient
Statute That Will Appear Absurd to
Modern Understanding.

1t has been a little more than 200
wears since anyone was convicted Of
witchcrart o. fh'S con.'H""t. COWS the
Columbus Dispatch, and we supposed
that there wGlld mover a2ain be any
more convictions. But 1t seems mat
such prosecutions have been revived
for here comes Il report from Cana-
dian court 10 the effect that young
woman over there has lately been SEN
fenced to prison for "practicing witch
craft" for all the world like the &C.
cusations that used to be flied against
people In this country.
The young woman in this case
claimed TO be able TO tell who commit
ted certain theft in her neighborhood.
She said farmers oats had been
stolen by man and boy; that they
drove a bay mare, and proceeded west
ward after the robbery, and that they
would be found at a certain place,
about 40 miles away. The officers
found her story to be true, and ar
rested the parties who robbed the
farmer, but as the young woman who
gave the information was in no pc
sitlon to know the facts she related
except through communing with "the
spirits" people began talking about
her being a witch, with the result that
an ancient statute was invoked and
the girl prosecuted and sent TO jail
for her pains in aiding the officers OF
the law. If it were not all duly record
ed in the newspapers we could not be

Peculiar Mud Geysers.

The mud geysers of the Salton sea,
California, came into existence recent
ly, and cover little more than two
acres. They are so-called mud volca-
noes and are various-sized caldrons of
hot mud
Some of them first appear as small
springs and others develop with loud
explosions which tear holes in the
earth from four to ten feet wide and
to depth of ten to twelve feet.
Salton sea is about 265 feet below
the level of the sea, and until few
years ago was dry. From 1904 to 1906
water was diverted into the basin by
the irrigation canal from the Colorado
river, and 1t became lake.
Since the stopping of the flow of
water into the lake it has been rapidly
sinking, and the mud geysers have re-
appeared in the same vicinity in which
they existed before the lakes forma-
ton.
The geysers are supposed to be an
accompaniment of earthquakes.-Kan

Chinese Silk in America,

The American demand for silk in
China has greatly increased in the
last few years until at the present
time about % per cent of the Chinese
silk is sent to the United States. This
is the result of American enterprise
more than that of the Chinese The
Japanese silks had been in favor for
a long time with the manufacturers
of this country but it was well un-
derstood that the quality of the Chi
pese was superior, but it was not
ndapted for use in this country be-
cause of the manner in which it was
woven. An American manufacturer
secured a moving picture reel show
ing the japanese methods of manu-
feature. and as a result the China
men were induced to change theirs TO
system TO conform with the demands
of the occidental customers, and the
industry has accordingly Haken great
jump.

Hawaii Claims Wettest Spot.

Hawaii now claims the wettest spots
on earth. From records covering a
long period, Cherrapunji, a village at
an elevation of about 1850 feet in the
Khasi hills in India, has established
a rainfall average of 426 inches year.
with a maximum of 905 inches in the
questionable record for 1861. Short
period observations show that Mount
Waialeale, the central peak of the
island of Kauai, with height of $3.50
feet, has a yearly average of 476
inches; while estimates for nearby To-
calities for the wet years of 1914 and
1910, when no records were kept, make
1t appear that the rainfall then must
have exceeded GOO inches. Other parts
of Hawaii are scarcely less damp. Pun
Kukui 5000 feet high, on the island of
Maui, has had a seven-year average of
369 inches, with a maximum of 562
inches in 1914. At least dozen other
spots, above 1000 feet of elevation, are
reported to have exceeded $50 inches
in each of the years 1914 and 1918.

Good Until Used.

Finding that enforcement of the
statutory provisions that railroad
tickets, with certain exceptions, shall
be good until used, works no undue
hardship on railroad companies and is
a reasonable regulation, the Public
Utilities Commission has refused to
accede to request of railroad re-
representatives. that single trip tickets
shall be good only on the day of issue.
The request was presented at a
hearing in Newark, June 10, when it
was pointed out that rule limiting
the use of one-way tickets is gener-
ally in effect in the United States
and was adopted by the railroads in
New Jersey while under government
control. 1t was claimed that such a
limitation would, in a large measure
do away with the chief incentive of
the passenger to cheat" the conduct
or and would also destroy market
for the sale of such tickets by persons
who improperly and sometimes lille
gally came into possession of them.
Independent of the question wheth-
err the public utility act of 1911 is
broad enough in it's terms to permit
the board in it's discretion to restrict
and limit the use of one-way tickets
Notwithstanding the provisions of the
general railroad act, the commission
expressed the view that the statutory
requirement should prevail, namely,
that "tickets for passengers, except
excursion tickets or tickets sold at re-
duced rates shall be good until used"
