Penrose Faces
Much Opposition
Republican Whip Appears in
Senate Following Long
Absence.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Senator
Penrose appeared in the senate to-
day, after an absence of Is months,
greatly improved after an illness
which has reduced his physical bulk
but has not impaired his mental
adertness or dimmed his vision on
national affairs.
In returning to the senate. where
for many years during republican
control he dominated his party ON
tariff and revenue matters. Mr.. PEN
rose found himself opposed by n,rS-
bers of his own party, ircludiug
Senators Smoot and Met lumber
who have been moved by the de-
mand of the farmers for tariff to
halt falling prices.
The task before Senator Penrose
is one that would tax the ingenuity
and resourcefulness of a we'll man.
Mr.. Penrose has undertaken it as a
duty to his party and while. his
health is not yet robust, he feels
that the faith the republican party
offers the country. calls Upon him
to exert. what influence he can to
write proper tariff when the time
comes, instead OF agreeing to report
bill which would protect only a
few and invite retaliatory measures
from foreign countries, the effect of
which would be to stop foreign
trade and precipitate a panic in the
United States. With the heroism
of a Spartan Mr.. Penrose intends
to fight members of his own party
il, the senate and the ways and
means committee which reported
and forced through the emergency
tariff measures in the house.

NEW ATOMS EVERY MINUTE
Old Idea That They Were Immutable
and Exchanging Has Been
Proved to Be Wrong.

The birth of an atom Is just as i'm
portant an event as the birth of a
world. If not more so, for every
thing in the universe is composed of
atoms, even the worlds themselves.
Not long ago atoms were thought to be
immutable and unchanging, but the
amazing truth has just been disclosed
that new atoms are born every minute,
Just as among the PARKWAY stars new
worlds are being born. says a writer
in the Edinburgh Review.
Already certain kinds of atoms can
be produced In the laboratory, and
such q bushes would become immense
ly popular If gold and silver could be
created in the same way. This Is not
an idle dream, as might be thought,
for already it has been, discovered
that all atoms are composed OF the
same kind Of material-positively
electrified particles and minute mega

Much Work for Little Result.

One of the legends of antiquity cred
it's a man known TO Cicero with hav.
ing put the Iliad of Homer into nut.
shell. When the legend was LOO
years old IIuet, the great French
scholar, tested it to amuse his pupil,
the French heir.
He took a piece of firm but plant
paper, ten inches long and eight inches
wide. BY writing tiny characters with
a fine pen he found that he could get
thirty verses of the Had into a line
and $50 lines to the PAGE, 1900 verses
In ALL Thus, by using both sides Of
the paper he could write 5000 verses
on It, the number composing the liad.
The paper when folded up fitted into
walnut shell, and SO the possibility
of the feat of Cicero's friend was
proved
