AMT NATURE JUST GRAND7
Why the Sky 10 Blue and Fish Make
No Noise Going Through
Water.

Why Is the sky blue? Not one per-
son in a hundred could give a salts
factory answer to the question. And
yet the explanation. as given by Prof.
w. II. Bragg, at the Royal institution,
Is quite simple.
The blue sky. he explained, is due
to the interrogation by particles In the
atmosphere OF the blue rays which
form a part Of the white light Of the
sun. The parts Of white light con-
veyed by longer red and yellow light
waves manage to Jump the many sub
stances In the atmosphere and are
seen only Mt sunrise and sunset.
The professor illustrated his mean
ing by showing a disk Of light on the
screen which, passing through a bowl
Of water, became gradually retlder as
the water got cloudier, till at last,
after an imitation of the sun In q No
vember fog, IL faded away.
Professor Bragg has also revealed
some Of the mysteries Of sound. II
you put q stick In . revolving bowl
or water, 1t sets up little whirlpools
behind 1t. In the same way. the wind
rushing past trees forms whirlwinds
on a small scale. and these cause
those sounds 80 admirably described
by the initiative word "soughing."
Similar sounds are set up by telegraph
wires.
WHY II Il that fishes make no dis
turbance when swimming through the
water, although there Is . rushing
noise when = stone Is flung In!
This IL explained by the fact that
In the latter case, It Is the filling Of
the cavity that Is made, rather than
the mere impact. which causes the
noise. whereas the body Of the Ash Is
% shaped that when II moves through
the water II leaves no such cavity be-
hind It and therefore there 10 no dis.

SCISSOR OF Relic Of Famous Repub-
Iican Convention Of 1904.

Uncle Joe" Cannon's long-los

celebrated Republican deadlock con
vention OF 1904 has been found, ant
now reposes In the State Historical
library, appropriately marked, the ILL
nois State Journal says.
All these years II has been In the
possession OF Mrs. Charles M. Tinney
and 1t was by her given to Mrs. Web
er, librarian Of that library.
This IL the story Of the gavel:
When "Uncle Joe" was elected chair.
man Of the convention he was without
a gavel. There was none available
One was needed at once.
Mr.. Tinney had been elected sergeant
at arms Of the convention and II was
his duty to secure a gavel.
In the rear Of the arsenal he found
a gun wiper. 1t was Of straight,
tough walnut with small knob on one
end.
The handle was cut to the right
length and with this instrument Mr..
Cannon maintained order.
II was an odd-looking thing for such
purpose and, as the convention be-
came more and more historical, collect.
ors coveted It and many a plan was
laid to grab II at the end of the SEES
sion.
Mr.. Cannon himself was determined
to keep It as a souvenir. James A..
Rose, then secretary Of state, was
collector Of gavels. and he wanted It.
The last night Of the convention was
rainy. Mr.. and Mrs. Tinney carried
an umbrella with them when they went
to the arsenal. and 1t was given Into
her keeping while Mr.. Tinney per-
formed his duties.
When the last hour arrived and II
was known the convention would soon
adjourn sine die, Mr.. Tinney sent for
the umbrella, saying he was tired
and wished 1t to lean on.
His duty required him to stand by
the chairman's side and assist him In
whatever was done.
Mr.. Tinney carelessly held the UNI
brella next to the speakers table.
Uncle Joe" lifted his arm with the
gavel In his hand and brought 1t down
with a whack as he declared the con-
vention adjourned. He left the gavel
on the table for q second. One end
projected over the edge In such q man.
ner that one little movement Of Mr..
Tinney's hand precipitated II Into the
loose folds Of the umbrella.
A dozen hands had been extended
toward the table to grab 1t. but 1t was
not there. "Uncle Joe" looked around
to pick 1t up and found II missing
The choice Cannonian profanity failed
to uncover Its hiding place.
Concealed In the umbrella the gavel
travelled to the Nnney apartment and
In Mrs. Tinney's possession II has re-
NAMED ever since.

WHY:
Women Preachers Want More
Women Preachers.

When its doctrines are expounded
BY women preachers men will be more
eager to attend church. according to
Miss NJ. Madeline Southland, president
70 the International Association Of
Women Preachers. Speaking at the
convention OF the association at the
Jackson Boulevard Christian church,
Chicago, Miss Southland accused men
preachers Of "feminizing the church "
She gave Frances Willard as her au-
thority for the claim that women
preachers were needed to interest men
In the work Of the church.
"One still hears occasionally that
the ordination Of women will feminine
the church." said Miss Southland. But
that Is impossible, for a men monopoly
Of the pulpit has already accomplished
II.
Frances willard said, concerning
this. Men have been preaching for
1900 years and q large majority of
the converts have been women. Sup
pose that women should share the
preaching power, might 1t not be rea-
sOnably supposed that the majority
OF the converts under their administra-
ton would be menT
I'VE women who preach invite a
comparison Of the number Of strong.
thoughtful men in our audiences with
the number found In the average au-
dience."
Miss Southland quoted from IS. Pc
ter, Paul, and Luke as authorizing
women to preach and to prophesy.
She declared that men sought to bar
women from the pulpit for selfish rea-
sons.
men, even clergymen, never get ex-
cited when women scrub their Office
floors or wash their soiled clothes for q
livelihood" she said. 1T Is only when
women approach the more remunera-
tive or more desirable vocations that
lively fears of the disruption Of the
home are expressed.
"Since the preachers quest is the
discovery and the development Of per-
sonality, women's training has pre-
eminently fitted her for Ii. Through
the ages man was busy with wars and
the hunt of material and commercial
values, while to the woman was con-
signed all developing human personali-
ties through the most critical years.
This child-care has peculiarly fitted
her, when educated along all lines, to
understand and deal with the grown up
children Of church and community"

White House Is no place for q Judge.
As lawglver and governor Of
Manila, Taft had won the confidence
OF his oriental subjects, and rather
than desert his post, before his task
was finished, he sacrificed the dearest
ambition OF his life. In q year and
q half Roosevelt had him In his cab
met as secretary Of war-and soon
had him in his eye for the presidency.
Roosevelt had the weakness Of his
strength. He thought he was strong
enough to make q president. But
real presidents are born, not made.
The moment Roosevelt was gone.
the standpatters, the reactionary
forces. emerged from their seven and
one-half years In the cyclone cellar.
The moment the political broncho felt
the tenderfoot on Its back, 1t bucked,
and threw Taft from the seat Of leader
ship. The next thing the rank and
die Of Republicans knew, the party
was slipping back into the old rut
from which Roosevelt had jerked It
when first he laid upon 1t his master
full hand.
But the people refused to 90 back.
Eight months after Taft's inaugura-
ton, the election Of 1909 sounded q
clear warning Of the disaster that
overwhelmed the party In the congress
sional election Of 1910 and which oil
but destroyed 1t in the presidential
election Of 1912.
According to q story that was told
OF Taft. a curious stranger asked q
gatekeeper at the Union station In
Washington where he would stand the
best chance Of seeing the presi-
dent In the few spare hours that he
had between trains. Fright where
you are" was the reply. He's al

Eress had also adopted. two years be-
