Why Autumn Leaves Are Brown.

The color of autumn leaves is due
to a glucosidal compound which ap-
pears in the cells and epidermis Of
the leaves in the autumn. The for
nation is supposed to be accomplished
by alterations of the hot autumna1
sunlight and the low temperature of
the autumn nights. The rcd pigment
produced in the leaves in autumn is
always accompanied by soluble n.y.
drocarbonates. Analysis shows that
red leaves hold more sugars and glu-
cOsides than green leaves. The blue
cOloring matter is an anthrOcyanin
whose formation is brought about by
the sugary compounds.

HAD TOUCH OF COMIC OPERA
chinsse Armies Stopped Fighting to
Let United States Vessel Pass
Down the River.

Ensign William III. Galbraith, navi-
eating officer Of the United States de-
stroyer Hart, attached to the United
States Asiatic squadron In Chinese Wa
tiers. In letter tells of the intensified
work placed on the hands Of the yes
sells Of the squadron in the Far East
by the operations Of the Chinese civil
war now in progress between the Pc
kingese and the Cantonese sections Of
the nation. When armies representing
these hostile sections approach cities
In which American citizens are In bust
ness there Is much excitement on the
part of the Americans aud they call
urgently for the protection Of the feet,
says the Columbus Dispatch.
Recently the Hart received a radio
gram call from an officer of United
States merchant vessel, stating that his
vessel so miles up one of the Chinese
rivers was being detained. The captain
was anxious to put to sea, and would
the Hart see that it was permitted to
depart? The Hart got on the job at
once and found when the scene was
reached that there was no govern
mental authority holding the United
States ship up, but the Cantonese
army was drawn up on one side OF the
river and the PekingeSe on the other
and battle was in progress. with the
river, through which the United States
ship must pass, between them. Natu-
rally the captain did not fancy risking
the shots that were passing across the
channel. The respective commanders
kindly suspended the fighting until the
merchant vessel had passed.

EASTERN CANADA UNDER ICE
Professor Asserts 1t Was Covered q
Mile Deep Forty Thousand
Years Ago.

Prof. A. f. Coleman Of the faculty
Of applied science and engineering Of
the University of Toronto, whose
hobby is studying the ice age, and who
has toured many countries in his re-
search work, believes the ice age was
present in Canada about 10000 years
ago AS a result of his inspection
Of the rock and mountains Of the ter
ritory Of Gaspe, in eastern Canada,
where there are valuable fishing
grounds, he had been convinced that
the ice which has covered that part OF
Canada to a depth Of about a mile,
never passed over that portion Of east
ern Canada.
The Shick- Shock mountains, which
are really q continuation of the Appa-
lachian range are the backbone Of
Gaspe. and the highest land Of eastern
Canada. Professor Coleman did find,
however, that a great glacial sheet
had filed the Gulf Of the st. Law
eence. He has also found that the
front range of the Rocky mountains
has been pushed seven miles into the
prairie.
Professor Coleman was probably one
of the first scientists to visit G8spe,
despite the fact that the French land
ed there centuries ago.

HUMAN FACE AS A BEACON
"Shine" Thrown OFF, at Distance
of Several Miles.

Novelists that speak Of a face
fighting up" put down an actual truth
that few of them are aware of or in
tend One of the most delicate in
struments in the world, radiometer,
records the shine of human face,
and can do 1t at a distance of several
miles. So delicate is the instrument
that it can detect and record the glim-
mer of a candle half a mile away, and
If there were no atmospheric obstruc-
ton 1t could detect the same candle IS
miles away. The instrument consists
Of two thin glass disks, one polished
and one blackened, suspended by a
quartz thread in q vacuum. Waves Of
radiant energy striking this instru-
ment disturb its balance because the
bright disk reflects them, while the
black one absorbs them.
While the human face to the nor
NAL eye gives out no waves Of radiant
energy, the fact remains that q con-
slant flow of energy is being thrown
off, and these waves travel an IN
known distance. Although the radio
meter is a wonderful and delicate in
strument, there is a thermal couple
ten times as sensitive as the radiome-
ter and it can detect the heat Of a
candle 60 miles distant.

Scientists claim that ages ago a

it take an hour, a day, or a week? In
fact, it would take two weeks, and
when full the shell would contain more

Tie distance to the sun is 90 .OOO,0

LAST WORD IN DICTIONARY
Possibly Few Know What Il 10, and
Really 1t ls Not Of Great
Importance.

Do you know the last word In the
dictionary?
It begins with the last three letters
N the alphabet, placed in their re
verse order, and it means an Indian
Iibellulid dragon fly having a large
head, narrow face and very lare'
eyes" The word is 'zyxomma." Tn!s
Is in the New Standard dictionary.
Webster's New International stops
one short Of this, listing its final word
as "zythum," explained as being -
kind of ancient matt beverage" whicf,
the Standard calls a very excellent
beer that Diodorua, though wholly UT
accustomed to it, affirmed to have been
scarcely inferior to the juice Of the
grape"
Together, then, the two dictionaries
with beer and a dragon fly, make fair
ly unimportant endings.
Reading up the column from "Eyx-
omma," one must traverse strange ter
ritory for a distance of 81 words be
for one reaches "Zuider Zee" the first
or rather the last fairly widely
known term in the dictionary. Be
tween this Dutch sea and the libellu
lid fly is a semi-desert country, stud
led numerously with such thorny OBJ
<tructions as "Zygaenidae," "zgnema-
ceae" and "zyfomaillare."
