HOW SOUND IS TRANSMITTED
Vibration Of the Air Brings Il to the
Ear-Travels Faster in Summer
Than in Winter.

Sound Is transmitted to the ear
by the vibration of the air. When
one particle Of air is made to vibrate
IL sets the adjacent particles to vi
brating, and so "a sound wave, II not
obstructed, passes in all directions
from the sounding body. The calcu-
lated velocity Of sound in the air
when the temperature is at freezing
point is 915.G9 feet per second. When
the temperature Increases, sound
travels faster, and the rate has been
calculated al a little more than one
foot per second for each degree OF
rise in Fahrenheit's thermometer.
Contrary to popular belief, sound
travels faster In summer than In
winter, and In warm than In cold
climates. 1t might be thought that
sound would travel more slowly
through dense atmosphere. but the
elasticity Increases as rapidly fas the
density, and, therefore, the velocity
of sound is not affected by varying
density. The velocity Of sound in
water, when at the greatest density Is
4.7074 feet per second. The expert
ments by which this velocity was de-
termned were made by VI. Callaodin,
in 1896, across the Lake OF Geneva.
from Role to Thonon, a distance Of
about nine miles. Water, therefore,
transmits sound four times as fast as
air does.

NO OLD AGE PROBLEM HERE
Indians Of the Andes Mountains XIII
Those Of Race Who Reach
Fateful Limit.

High in the Businesses Of the Andes
mountains Of Peru there lives race
which sets an age limit and kills all
Of Its people who reach the fatefnl
mark. In each village an official Is
appointed to terminate the careers OF
persons who live too long.
Different communities, however
have different ideas as to what limit
should be placed on human existence
In some places the only duty OF the
executioner appears 70 be to secure
the presence Of man at his own fu-
neral in the title role" If person
becomes 50 Ill that his funeral becomes
a certainty in the near future, date
is fixed for the same. and If the lead
ing figure shows a disposition to be un-
punctual, the village executloner takes
the matter in hand.
The Andes natives are Of Indian
descent, possibly from the Qui"han
Indians, according to scientists. They
live in adobe novels and are said never
to remove their clothing. They are
very shy and have no diversions aside
from chewing coca leaves, from which
modern scientists extract cocaine.

to have strong support and will wage
an interesting contest from start to
finish.
There is still much agitation through
out this locality concerning the odd IN
cident that transpired in town on Sun
day night at IL o'clock, the date being
July goth, when as a young farmer
named Clarke Burge was on his way
home he saw three men, all of them
wearing masks and each having a
revolver in hand, standing beneath a
store porch, and seemed to be watching
for someone, possibly some town resi-
dent to come along and there attack
him or her. The young nan feeling
much alarmed, rushed home as quickly
as possible and calling several residents
on the telephone told them of what he
had seen. As he saw an officer OF the
bank setting in the bank, he notified
him first, but the men made no attempt
to disturb anyone or bother any place.
This, however led to the false rumor
| the next day that an attempt had been
| made to rob business place of the
| town Local authorities have made
| several Investigations of this odd cir
| cumstance and looked into many of the
different theories for the presence of
| the men but the theory most advanced
and more generally believed than all
the others is that the three men, dress
| ed as hold-up characters and brandish-
ing their revolvers, the gistening metal
of their guns showing conspiciousy in
the glare Of a hereby electric light
were simply here to distribute big
supply of literature of the Ku Kiux
Klan, az it is known that early the next
morning. there were seen many pamph-
let's on the dooresteps in town, all red
hat propaganda of the so-called Klan.
However nothing can be found to es-
tablish as to a certainty, the real mean
ing of the grotesque visitors.

Put an Idea Across.

Whether it was mental telepathy or
a mere coincidence, cannot say, but
this Is what happened:
on railway station platform at
some distance from me stood an in-
migrant family. The father carried no
bundles. but the mother was loaded
ike pack mule. In one hand she held
a bundle resembling large weeks
wash tied up in a sheet. The other arm
bore weighty looking basket and
husky baby.
For about 20 minutes I looked on
AS that woman In sort Of dumb pa
tience stood there mOtionless under
that awful load. II was positively
nerve-wracking to watch her, and
finally yelled to her, mentally: For
heavens sake drop those bundles"
Instantly the woman let go OF the
bundle. handed the baby to her hus
band. placed the basket on top Of the
big bundle, folded her hands over her

L. P. JONES REPORTS MONTANA
OIL DISTRICT BOOMS

Potlatch-T. P. Jones was a visitor
in Potlatch on Friday on his way
back to Shelby, Mont, which he left
a few days ago. He reports that there
is a much keener interest in the Too1e
county oil district since the coming
in of the second oil we'll, the Sun
burst. The Troy-Sweetgrass well No.
1, belonging to the Troy-Sweetgrass
Oil Syndicate, of which Mr.. Jones Is
president, is being drilled deeper and
indications now are that they are not
far from the stratum of oi1-bearing
sands. The striking Of oil by this
we'll will prove the Sweetgrass struc-
ture to be one of the largest in the
district and the present rapid devel-
opment of the district will be fully
warranted. 1t is rumored that the
subscription books OF the Potlatch
Oil & Refining company, a subsidiary
of the oy-Sweegrass, are closed,
but this is not believed to be true by
local people who are in position to
know.

VARSITY PLAYERS
STAR in COMEDY
CHER MONEY MAN" PLEASING
PLAY, GIVEN WEDNESDAY,
NIGHT

'Her Money Man," three-act COM
edy presented Wednesday evening in
the university auditorium by the Var
sity Players, prior to taking the show
on the road throughout the north
west for ten weeks, proved to be a
production of real merit, and was
greatly appreciated by the audience
which witnessed the play.
The play, which was light and
breezy from start to finish, is one
which will appeal to most any audi
ence, and is one which is entirely free
from any of the sensational foolish
ness which SO often works it's way in
to what would otherwise be clever
comedies.
Miss Logan Stars
Carolyn Logan, as Helen Calthrop,
a young widow who finds it quite easy
to fall in love with a young westerner
and large fortune at the same time,
was easily the star of the cast, and
Immediately captivated the audience
with her eccentric enthusiasm and
vivasciousness.
John Cushman, as Jack Frosh,
shared honors with Miss Logan in the
role of the hapless victim of circum-
stances and intriguing relatives, near
and distant The other members Of
the cast, Rex Kimmell as Robert
Haynes, the useful tool of Mrs. CAL
throp, Maxwell Sholes as Mr.. Priest
ly, a kindly old guardian and legal
advisor, Bethel Collins and Lenore
Pickerell as Katherine and Jane Frost
were equally we'll adapted to their
parts, as was also Esther McRoberts
as Hildegarde, maid to Mrs Calthrop.
Plot Built Around Will
The plot of the story was built
around the will of an old uncle of
Frost's, who had at one time been
violently in love with Mrs. Calthrop,
and who in his will specified that his
estate of $4,000,000 should be divided
between his nephew and Mrs CAL
throp, providing they marry within a
specified time. Naturally this causes
some little apprehension in the camps
of both parties, and is the cause of
many merry making complications
that quickly arise.
The play will be given in Deary
and Pullman, tonight and tomorrow
night, after which the members of the
cast will return to Moscow to apply a
few finishing touches before leaving
On their northwest tour The play,
however, will need little altering to
please the most fastidious of audi

FARMERS WILL DECIDE
BUILDING PROGRAM SAT.

A meeting of the directors of the
Moscow Union Warehouse company
was held Thursday afternoon for the
purpose of working out plans for the
new brick building to take the place
of the frame store building destroyed
by fire last week, and to decided on
various policies. The meeting was
still in session when The Star Mirror
went to press.
A meeting of the stockholders was
called for Saturday at l o'clock at
the warehouse, at which time the
various plans worked out at the di-
rectors' meeting will be submitted to
the stockholders Whether the new
building will be one or two stories,
will not be determined conclusively
until after the Saturday meeting.
With the debris from the fire all
cleared away, it is found that the con-
crete foundation upon which the old
building rested is in excellent con-
dition and it is probable that the
new building will be built on this
The foundation :, is 10
inches with a 16-inch base.
