CLEVELAND. May f-rEuonas

SO says Erpest Fox Nichols. dfrco

Research Laboratory Of the National
Electric Lamp Association
And he should know. For on July

/ he becomes president Of the MassAr
Boston
Right now his hobby il . device
which could measure the heat radi,
ated by . candle Is miles away.
Nichols didn't make the apparatus
for that purpose--tt's for measuring
the heat radiated by stars-but he
makes II . heap clearer to the lay
man by giving a candle talk"
IT'S A SIMPLE
LOOKING AFFAIR
It's q simple looking affair consist
ing Of two delicate vanes hung in Z
glass bulb on q fine quartz fiber.
One side OF each vane Is painted
black. Due to the fact that tho
blackencd sides absorb more heat
than the shiny sides. the slightest
heat makes the vanes revolve and
twist the fiber.
BY measuring the amount the
fiber is twisted. the amount OF heat
can be calculated
II is a well known fact that Il
takes the light OF some stars moro
than 100 years to reach us.
Consequently" says Nichols,
some OF the heat I have measured
had left the stars long before / was
born.
Some years ago a scientist dis
covered that an electric wire. when
heated. throws off clectrons. People
said. Very interesting, but how does
that concern us?'
swell. when you talk by long-dis-
lance telephone you're employing an
application OF that discovery. with
out It the wireless telephone would
be impossible.
TITS fine to say we want applied
science. But you can't apply thing
until you've discovered it."
And that. as Nichols says, win be
one OF the main things he viii do at
his new job: keep the proper balance
between pure science and applied
science.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PURE AND APPLIED
Pure science" he says. 'unearshs
a new fact. Applied science puts II
to USE"
A closeup Of Nichols life: Studied
hard at home. Battled i'll health as
boy--and won. Is 81 years old.
Studied at Kansas Agricultural col
lego. Cornell. University OF Berlin
and Cambridge university. Has been
professor at Colgate. Dartmouth.
Yale and Columbia. Was president
at Dartmouth from 1909 to 1916. Has
been elected to seven scientific So

And a closeup Of his appearances:
Tall; keen eyes; quiet voice; wear1

Circuit Jndses Race.

1uo hopuUlCduS VI hudlI COuHIy
are general for Judge j. c. Carter for
re. election to the Office of Circuit
Judge. But very few votes will be
cast against him in this county. He
presented his claims for re election
last Monday, and the large number of
Republicans who heard him are en-
thusiastic in his support. Mr.. He
bron Lawrence, of Monroe county,
presented his reasons why he should
be nominated, claiming that he was
well fitted for the office and that
Judge Carter had held the position
long enough. The Republicans of this
county are perfectly willing to Try
Carter for another term. We have no
vote in making the nomination, and
granting that Mr.. Lawrence is quail
fed, legally and otherwise, were we a
Republican we should vote for Judge
Carter, believing that he is decidedly
the best qualified lawyer of the two.
The candidates for Commonwealth's
Attorney also spoke, Mr.. Smith, Mr..
Huddleston and Mr.. Sullivan Mr..
Smith is clean, upright gentlemen
but in our Judgment Mr. Huddleston
has the race won In fact. it would be
very difficult for any man to defeat
him in this district Mr.. Sullivan
followed Mr.. Huddleston, and in his
characterize manner presented his
claims. The crowd was in the best OF

long until the tale will be told. The
primary will be held the sixth of Au-
