Chris Columbus Among Us-Auto-
matically Preserved Eggs-the
IN" in Cox's Name.
By BILL PRICE

Washington Esprit photographer publica-
ton of photograph of the sprt of Christopher Column
bus recently visiting this vicinity The event might be
locally fasrng but for the fact that great scientists se-
ously hold that soul communication is mighty truth that
will be fully demonstrated in the future. With this photo
graph of Chris is of "Chare" Dickinson, a former
Washington inventor who appears to be cumming
with the discoverer of America Dickinson communicates
message stating that Columbus spirit is exceedingly
gracious.
Dickinson's face shows up dimly in the photograph
Chris himself looks rather jaded His beard the style of
that period still cngs to him. and around his neck
of the large white bbs Of those days
OF course, it proper that Columbus should make
his first appearance in Washington the heart of the Amer
lea he discovered. Besides of his distant relatives
live here. Now there's CHARLIE COLUMBUS, of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Association Just how Char
lie got scooped on this message he does not explain.
Another mysterious thing will interest suburban Wash
who keep chickens and preserve surplus eggs for
winter by using water glass This water glass fills all the
pores of the eggs and keeps them indefinitely Here
chap who has discovered that by feeding his hens mag
nestle the eggs automatically made alright keeping
for long periods. The eggs covered much steam
pipes The hens show i'll effects in producing the
new everlasting eggs
Here we have been supposng that Governor Cox's mid
die name 'Middleon and yet his secretary says it
stands for Monroe 1t at least is not Mddlng for the
governor is anything else but midding JOHN COS
TELLO District Democratic national committeeman, who
has been cumming with Cox much more realistically
than Dickinson is doing with Columbus will be able to
give the facts we'll other interesting data about
the governor One satisfactory thing to District Democrats
that Costello is loyal to his friends and to Washington,
and if Cox is elected the local National Committeeman will
his power for genuine good for the District and its true
citizens Still satisfactory is that Governor COX is
for suffrage for disfranchsed Washington.
Also decidedly interesting is the announcement that
1.-The Department of Justice finds that the District is vru
ally 'free from proeers' This ought to quiet apprehen
that people have that they not be getting
their moneys worth.

whole year round, but the question
cannot be answered. at least, not
yet, by definite experimental evil
dence. The experiences of explor-
ers do not settle it because their
temperature measures are not
taken under absolutely comparable
conditions, to say nothing of the
variability of all meteorological ele-
ments. But the greater elevation
of the earth's surface above mean
sea level at the south pole (the
north pole lies beneath the sea- i'm
plies "A lower temperature, and in
addition, the south polar accumula-
ton of perpetual snow and ice is
greater than the corresponding &C
emulation around the north pole.
This may be consequence of the
greater distance of the earth from
the sun during the Southern win
ter, and the resulting greater rela-
tive length of that winter. In the

Northern Hemisphere the winter
half of the year is shorter than the
summer half, because the earth,
being nearer the sun during the
Northern winter, travels faster in
it's orbit, while the reverse is the
case N the Southern Hemisphere.
BL.s this is only temporary ad-
vantage enjoyed by the Northern
Hemisphere, for we know that the
procession OF the equinoXes, COM
bined with another periodical va
Ration, will, in about 10000 years,
rev rse the position of the North
err and Southern Hemisphere with
regard to the sphelion and peri
helion (far from the sun and near to
SUM points of the earth's orbit,
and then we instead of the people
south of the equator will have win
ter when the earth is farthest from
the sun.
