HAVE APPRECIATION OF LIGHT
What It Means to Secure the
Needed Power,

You who live in cities where the
electricity is thing to be taken for
granted, requiring only the pressing
of a button, would appreciate it more
If you could see what has to be done
In Green Mountain Falls, Colo, before
we have any light.
In the first place, we don't have any
o'clock in the evening. And the only
reason that we have that, Is because
the men who manage the power plant,
which Is situated almost at the very
top Of a mountain. start their long and
far-frOm-easy climb every night about
5 80 and turn on the lights for us.
1t may sound very simple and all
that, but If you could see the speck
that is the power house. way. way up
there against the side of an exceeding
ly steep and rocky mountain, you
would change your mind about II.
They say the climb is about a mile
And sometimes In the midst of u Sc
we're thunder storm, when the rain Is
hurling itself down the mountain, and
the falls are roaring In stentOrian
tones, and the trees are straining and
moaning in the wind, ysu wonder that
the men ever reach the top at all, and
are more than thankful when the
lights finally go on. For that Is our
only way Of knowing that the men
have reached there safely.-Kansas

COLD IN HIGHEST ATTITUDES

face Of the Earth.

You would have thought that the
nearer you get to the sun. the warmer
the temperature becomes, wouldn't
you? But this Is by no means the
case, for it Is much colder closer to
the sun when the latter Is shining its
brightest than 1t is on the earth.
This is proved by the fact that the
highest mountains, even In tropical
countries. are perpetualiy snow
capped. Were the air there even
Of the same temperature as that Of
the plains beneath, the snow would
soon disappear.
You know. too, that the higher an

cold.
The reason for this strange phe-
nomenon Is that the rays Of sunshine
pierce through the upper layers Of
the atmosphere. which offer very little
resistance to them. The earth, on the
other hand. being more solid, cannot
be penetrated so easily, with the re-
suit that we get the full effect Of the
warmth, both as the rays strike the
earth and as they rebound from 1t.

SAW HER CLOWNS
Sick ChiId's Life Saved by CeIe-
brated Comedians.
Action Of French Funmakers That
Shines "Like Good Deed In a
Naughty World"

The Fratellini brothers, celebrated
clowns Of Medrano general favorites
Of the ContinenD, were recently the
heroes Of a singularly touching little
Incident.
1t appears that the nine-year-Old
daughter Of the Widow Colicourt. 81
Rue FrancOeur, shortly after attend
ing performance III which the clowns
had appeared, fell seriously Ill. In
her delirium the child was obsessed
with the desire to see them again
the marvellous buffoons who made her
laugh so on that evening of happy
enchantment; she kept calling for
"her clowns"
Months passed while the mother
stubbornly fought for the life Of her
child, and gradually the illness re-
sponded to the treatment. The little
girl, however, remained sad, pensive
and lacking animation. The doctor
shook his head, puzzled and alarmed
by the child's listlessness. "She should
have something to distract her." he
said.
How entertain her? The mother
was far from being wealthy woman.
Since, however, the child continually
spoke Of "her clowns" why should
she not 60 to the Fratellini brothers,
themselves, and ask their help? She
reflected that these celebrated artists
were good men who gave generously
to charity; that they sometimes went
to the hospitals to entertain the in
mates and bring them cheer. Why
should she not go to them and ask
them to help save her child?
The upshot was that two days later
the widow went to the circus and re-
quested an audience with the Fratel-
lini brothers. They were, at the mo-
ment, on the stOge; she could hear
their silly laughter as she stood in the
wings and waited. When, presently,
painting from their exertions, they
came tumbling off, she made her re-
quest hurriedly, stopping them. tears
standing in her eyes.
The three clowns are the fathers OF
IA children, all told. They promised
to 60 the very next day to see the
little sick girl, adding that it would
not cost the widow a penny.
And sure enough, the next day, ar
rayed In their most gorgeous cos
tunes, grotesque, hilarious, altogether
marvellous, they enacted from full
hearts before the little invalid their
most fantastic sketch, singing and
dancing and grimacing. And the &C.
static child, mad with happiness and
with a new light In her eyes, clapped
her hands, laughing through exquisite
tears, and shouted: Encore! En-
core 7"
The clowns entertained her for two
hours; and when they left-quietly
and discreetly, as they had come
they promised to come again.
And that Is the end Of the story,
an the mother told 1t the other day
except that the little girl is we'll on
the road to recovery. The widow
came to the writer and related the
facts. very simply. And the story
seemed to the writer a very good sto-
ry, inaeed.-From lie Petit Parisien.

VanishIna Languages.

Nowhere In America has there been
such a diversity Of Indian languages
as in California. But these languages
are now rapidly disappearing. Several
Of them are known only By Ave or

year passes without some dialect, or
even language, ceasing to exist

to a curious, learned and polite hui
