CANDLE
HEAT Is MILES
Celebrated Scientist Does 9th
er Startling Feats.

CLEVELAND, April 22.-Did you know
that there is a device with which the heat
radiated by a candle can be measured
sixteen miles away? Neither did we uu-
til DR.. Ernest Fox Nichols was elected
president Of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, the largest scientific uni
versity In the country. He will take his
Office July l.
At present DR.. Nichols, who is a for
aer president Of Dartmouth College, is
director Of pure science at Nela Park,
where one of the largest laboratories in
the world is maintained by the Illumi-
mating Company, which furnishes light
and power to Cleveland homes and indus
tries.
He designed this apparatus to measure
the heat radiated by the stars. 1t con-
slsts of two delicate vanes hung in a
glass bulb on a fine quartz fiber. One
side Of each vane is painted black. Due
to the fact that the blackened sides alb
sorb more heat than the shiny sides, the
slightest heat tends to make the vanes
revOlve and to twist the fiber on which
they are hung.
By measuring the amount the fiber is
twisted the amount OF heat can be cal
culated.
Astronomers tell US some stars are so
far away that 1t takes light more than
one hundred years to reach us.

the hand-carved decorations, the Latin
Inscriptions over the doors, and the names
OF literary celebrities such as Bacon,
Dickens and Macauey. But these photo

vast shelf space-there were none there
Shortly after completion of the post

when the United States entered the CON

in Congress was anxious to ask that body
for an appropriation to purchase books
for the elaborate library room in the

And now the mooted waves of economy
in Government appropriations continues
TO be a handicap to securing sufficient
yellow bound volumes to fill the gaping
shelf space, and Denver's most beautiful
library room remains starkly empty.

LIGHT EXERTS.
PRESSURE.
Among other scientific discoveries cred
tied to DR.. Nichols is that a beam Of
light exerts a pressure just as does any
article the weight Of which can be meas
ured by physical means.
Scientists for 300 years have been work
Ing TO demonstrate this fact.
What is the value Of it?' the CORE
spondent asked.
DR.. Nichols answered:
a scientist discovered that an electric
wire when heated throws of electrons.
People said: Very interesting, no doubt,
but how does the matter concern u.s.!
FOR
INSTANCE;
When you talk by long distance tele-
phone to san Francisco you're employing
a practical application Of that discovery.
Without It the wireless telephone would
be impossible.
III is all very well to say that what
we want Is applied science, but you can t
apply a thing until after it is discovered.
AT Massachusetts, Institute Of Tech
nology l hope to keep g proper balance
between pure and applied science.
Pure science unearths a fact. Applied
science puts 1t to use.
Possibly a dozen people today under

some day all Of us will be using devices
growing out Of it,"

POSSIBILITIES
DE GARDENS

POSSIBILITIES
OF GARDENS.
The most interesting thing about this
farm. though Is the uniform success Of
it's members, and the eagerness which
people have shown to farm upon good
ground and under expert supervision.
The home gardening movement In the
United States has had a remarkable de-
velopmeut. Beginning ms war meas
ure, II has survived ana grown. This
year the acreage planted In the Nation
asa whole is expected to be little less
but the product a little greater, because
the people are learning how 10 farm and
the soil Of vacant lots and back yards
Is better after one or two years Of cult
walton.
But this home gardening has been for
the most part q haphaZard venture Va
cant lots and back yards have been most
~ utilized. Sometimes they have had
good soil and sometimes not Much time
and energy have been wasted by persons
who were ignorant and had no means Of
getting expert advice. Furthermore.
many persons who most needed fresh
vegetables were unable to get the use
Of even n foot Of soil
Now Mr. Halls calculations show that
for a city Of half A million people. Ike
Washington. a 5000 acre tract would fur
nlsh farm FOR each family, large enough
to produce all the fresh vegetables Il
needed. Including its winter supply Of
canned vegetables and OF potatoes and
other vegetables that keep without can
ming. To make a success Of such a mu-
nicipal farm would doubtless require a
skilled agricuturist at It's head, and a
few assistants, who would give instruc
lions both in gardening and in canning
vegetables. But the Potomac Club ex-
pertinent shows that such a farm would
produce several million dollars worth OF
food. II would be one OF the best in
vestments OF tax money that a city could
make. The city would also reap an enor.
nous Indirect reward I'm the health and
energy Of its citizens, for this project
would bring outdoor exercise and fresh
food to the great numbers Of people who,
in every American city, are suffering for
lack Of both.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Plans for
cutting down expenditures of the post
office department approximating S1J.-
100000 during the next - months are
understood to have been outlined yeSter-
day to the cabinet by Postmaster General
Hays. He was said to have declared the
proposed economies would in no way
weaken the efficiency of the service
The plans involve dropping from the
payrollS about one-half of one per cent of
the 300. 900 postal employees over the cOun-
try. Assurances have been given how
ever. that no efficient employees will be
discharged. In many instances vacancies
that occur win not be filed. making a
substantial cut without discharge of any
employees.
The department plans to cut $1,000 900
from the allowance for city carriers, and
like amounts from provisions for tempo
rary carriers. the railway mail service
and mail bag equipment.

damage to County Highways by
Storms Past Week Estimated to Be
$4,000 Besides Bridge Losses.

After a trip with County Highway
Commissioners Robert Coombs of Brattle-
boro over some of the roads of the county,
State Highway Commissioner It. ". Dix
of Montpelier left here this morning by
automobile for the state capital. Mr..
Dix came here to get a look at the roads
following the storm damage of the past
week, also to confer with County Com
missioner Coombs, and they exchanged
ideas which were mutually helpful
The two road officials motored to Gull
ford. Vernon and Marlboro having in
mind especially the federal highway in
Marlboro built by Paschal Rieci of Rut-
land and the federal project which has
Just been begun in Guilford by the Aborio
Construction Go. of Hartford, Conn. On
the day previous Commissioner Dix Wis
lted Nlndham and Londonderry, the road
between those two towns having suffered
severely, several bridges being washed
away, and that night he stayed in Ches-
ter, coming from there to BrattlehorO over
the Putney detOuT.
Commissioner Coombs estimates that
the damage to the highways of the county
Dy the recent storms was fully $4,000.
This is in addition to bridge damage. In
all the towns the road officials began re-
pairs promptly. and while the work has
not been finished the roads are passable.
Between ToWnshend and West Towns
hend, where some of the heaviest damage
was done, the repair work is well to-
ward completion. 1t is planned to put
force of men on the Marlboro federal
road Monday. The damage there was
$500 to 81 900
All roads leading into Brattleboro are
now paSSable. but some of them are in
bad condition. The work within the
town is going on well under the direction
of Road Commissioner C. J. Dube
The Aborio Construction Co has the
contract TO bnild two miles of federal
road. beginning at the Bernardston line
and extending two miles into Guilford,
ending about 1000 feet below the Fair
bank place near the old cemetery. About
- men are now working there
While this road is now passable il will
be necessary TO close a part of it later,
So it is Commissioner Coombs's inten-
ton to have some detOur signs erected in
BrattlebOrO. Guilford (east village), and
BernardSton within a few days.
The plan Is to send traffic from here
through Vernon and to send Gnilford
traffic down through Weatherhead Hol-
low, crossing the bridge near the cream
cry on the Guilford Center road.

Workers This Morning

The vault alarm in the rear of the

thus attracting considerable attention
not only from the lawyers and other pro-
fessional men who may have been dozng
in the offices on the second floor of the
building. but also from the people ON FL
liot street.
The alarm was not caused by any bank
robbers. however but by repair workers
who came in contact with some of the

that the vault alarm system is in real
working order and should serve TO warn
anv who hold intentions of robbing the

should be no conviction if Mrs. Kaber

proof that she was insane, however. he
declared, was on the defense. Insanity
was the sole defense. no testimony being
