The beams Of light sometimes seen
radiating from the sun when not far
from the horizon are called "crepuscu-
lar rays" They are due to rays OF
light passing through breaks In the
clouds and made visible by dust or nne
drops Of water In the air. Their ap-
parent divergence is an effect Of per-
Spective. The phenomenon is popularity
described as ''the sun drawing water ;

salt and Dampness.

Salt is what Is called "hygrOscO
pic" that is, II eagerly absOrbs moiS
ture. In fact, both air and salt are
absorbents OF moisture and 1t Is q
contest between them as to which
gets II. Results depend on atmos-
pheric conditions. Ordinary atmos-
phere always contains a proportion
Of moisture, and warm air IS apt to
be more humid than cold, as IL abb
serbs and holds water vapOr more
readily than cold air. Salt has such
affinity for moisture that under such
conditions 1t draws It from the air.
When the air becomes dry, the mois-
ture is given up by the salt, which In
turn becomes dry as It returns the
moisture to the air.

ATHLETIC SPORTS ARE WARM
ING UP AT THE LINCOLN
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYL-
WANNA.

Lincoln University, Sept. 20
Coach John A. Shelbirn arrived at
Lincoln on September September "a,
and Immediately began the work OF
building up the Lincoln team, which
IT is hoped will bring back some of
the prestige which it has enjoyed in
years past.
Fifteen men reported the first day.
and before the end of the week he had
thirty-six men drilling and perspiring.
The preliminary work has consisted
IN installing the very fundamentals of
the game. The men have manifested
a Willingness and determination that
augers well for a good, conscientious
team.
The men who composed the squad
last year have been a little slow in
returning, and most OF the men who
have reported are new men. From
the material on hand it looks as If the
old men will have to show remarka-
bic football knowledge and ability to
retain their places.
Carter, last years center, will have
hard fight on his hands to keep
from being displaced by BeIlinger, a
new man from Texas. Wilson, quar-
terback for the last two years, has
FIVE rivals for his place, the most
prominent OF whom is McClain, an
inter-scholastic star from Jersey City.
Wilson may be sent to his old posi-
ton at half-back, which is probably
his logical position. Captain Laws
has entirely recovered from the in
juries he received last year, and looks
ht to lead his team to victory this
year Poindexter, a substitute last
year, is showing good form Two of
the most promising men on the squad
are Crudup, a former player on
"Rindge Tech" OF Cambridge, Mass,
and Howard from Jersey City.
The squad as a whole is rather
light, but gives evidence of being
very fast. Owing to the number of
men who are candidates for the back
field. Captain Laws may be shifted
to the other end or tackle.
Sam" Parr, who stood out so
prominently in the Howard game,
came out for the first time Friday.
His presence is always an inspiration
to the team, and any man who ex-
poets to make a position in the back
field knows that he has to play Won
derful football to displace Sam"

follows:

Can Of Geraniuma.

Geraniums should be kept moist, but
should not be given too much water
at a time. They need a sunny win
dow. The plants should be kept in
fairly even temperature, and it should
be borne in mind that they must have
plenty Of air, for they won't thrive In
a .'stuffy" room. Light and sun are
necessary for all plants, and there Is
always more danger Of getting too lit

FRIENDS OF THE BEAVERS

Chaffee County Game and Fish Pro-

which grew out OF a meeting of tho

test an anti-beaver bill now pending

considered was tho proposed open sea-
son on beaver. and j. NJ. Cuenin. for
IA valuable asset to tho government,
determination. That any harm done
to dams or irrigation bitches was
promptly taken care OF by the govern
ment. After considerable discussion
resolutions were finally adopted con-
demning the proposed bill seeking to
open tho season on beaver, and follow
ing this tho game association WAS or
canized, more than i hundred mem
bers having been secured several
months ago. This new organization
agreed to pay an assessment made
against tho association by the state as
sociation of $50 and as soon as pos
slble.
Two years ago the crops of large
part OF Chafree county were saved by
beavers. when Forest Supervisor j. NJ.
Cuenin gave permission to Water Com
missioner d. Z. Cook to cut tho Beaver
dam near Monarch and release tho lake
OF water behind It.
Tho government recognizes that in
some instances the beaver are a nui-
sance but it favors making them movo
to another location instead OF destroy
