The Unstable Moon.

THE celebrated observatory at
Greenwich. the place from which
we reckon longitude, was founded 5y
Charles III in 1875, mainly for the
purpose Of investigating the move
ments of the moon in the interests OF
navigation. Although in the inter-
vening two and a half centuries as
tronomers have worked at the prob
lem, the moon has not yet become en-
tirely amenable to their mathematics.
In a recent report Of the observa-
tory at Greenwich attention is invited
to the increasing deviation between
in the sky and its real position as
shown by the Greenwich observations
The deviation Is said lately to have
been growing in a serious manner.
The error last year was more than
twelve times as large as the error
twenty years ago. and the average
annual increase during the two dec
,des has amounted to half a second
Of arc in longitude. The reason that
astronomers have failed in getting
exact results from calculations based
on the dynamical laws Of gravitation
is possibly the existence of some at
tractive force that they have not dis
'overed. although the result may also
,e affected by the true shape of the
earth, which still awaits accurate
determination.

The Sharpley place was one of

squire settled there in the so he put
out four acres of evergreens which
had grown into high, matted jungle,

Artificial Silk.

COME time ago it was discovered
~ that incandescent gas mantles
made Of ramie fiber were much more
efficient than those made of cotton.
Ramie fiber possesses a wider mesh,
and so affords a larger radiating sur
face.
Since then it has been found that
woven artificial silk is rougher than
ramte fiber, and consequently more
luminous. Mantles made from con-
tinuous fibers Of artificial silk are now
on sale in many parts Of the world.
and are said to be elastic, supple and
durable. The continuous fibers re-
main distinct and unbroken during
use, whereas the short f1bers in man
ties made of cotton or ramie untwist
more or less from the original struc-
ture of the spun yarn. An artificial
silk mantle fitted to a high-pressure
burner gives good light for seven
weeks, whereas ramie mantle at
tached to the same burner lasts only
six nights.

STORY AND ACTION RUN SWIFTLY
IN "THE GIRL FROM OUTSIDE"
NeW Rex Beach Picture MOUes from Scene to
Scene With Economy of Titles and
Maximum of Thrills

"The Girl From outside" belongs
to the new order of motion picture
with swiftly moving story running
smoothly on from point to point in
steady climactic order. 1t tells its
own story without much eed of titles.
Gone are the days OF jerky stories as
far as Rex Beach Is concerned. He
believes the public is as tired as he
is of the swiftly changing scenes
breaing off in the middle of inter-
esting moments. He says that there
was too much of mix-up as stories
were told. You will see that he was
right when you see his latest pho
todrama.
Every scene in this Goldwyn pic
ture Is held to its full value and the
change to another scene explains It,

characters and give the actual speech

Rex eBach considers this part of
the writing for the screen Of great
Importance.
The movie fan goes to his theatre

to look at stars. He used to be
amused and fascinated by quickly
changing scenes. In slap stick farces

event for all II Is worth.
That is why in THE Girl from
Outside" the audience enjoys so
many strong moments to the full.
You get to know the girl and the
Curly Kid and the gang of scalawags
and the smiling chinaman. You live
through every moment of the great
struggle of the Kid to destroy the
evidence against the man the Girl
loves. You thrill as you face the
Chinaman evenging on the villain
the injury to his friend The Kid.
You go from ship to beach, from
restaurant to hotel, with increasing
interest in the people and what hap
pens. A Rex Beach picture Is first
of all full of action. In "The Girl
from Outside you get to know char
acters you will not soon forget. That
is what makes photodrama worth
while, worth seeing twice. Il will

HEALTH EXPOSITION

The National Health Exposition,
comprising the greatest collection Of
health exhibits from all parts of the
world ever before gathtred together,
will be held in the jefferson county
armory, in Louisville, February l
to 9, 1921, according to definite
dates just decided on.
This exposition, which will be the
fourth Of its kind ever held, will be
under the direction of the United
States Public Health Service, the
State Board of Health, the jefferson
County Board Of Health and the
Louisville Health Department.
Louisville has been resting serene-
ly in the belief that its health was
good; that the varioos kinds of dis
eases which each day take their toll
were jost in the natural order of
things. Then it got rude awaken
ing when the report of the recent
sanitary survey by the Women's
City Club showed that eighty per
cent of the cases of sickness were
preventable and with the aid of sta
tisticians, compiled by DR.. A. 7. Nc
Cormack, secretary of the Board Of
Health of Kentucky, learned that at
least a year should be added to the
average Kentuckian's life by careful
living and healthful practices.
In conjunction with the exposition
the United States Public Health
will hold the public health institute
and the Kentucky city and county
health officers will open their annual
conference in Louisville at that time,
as will the Kentucky Public Health
Association.
With the opening Of offices in the
State Board of Health building, in
vitations are being sent to health or
CARNATIONS in all parts of the world
to have exhibits in the Louisville ex-
positino.
Invitations also are being sent to
the Indiana State Board of Health
and to organizations in neighboring
states asking them to participate.
