seph Caldwell OF Indiana, Pa, is study
ing astronomy at the University of
Michigan In order that he may meet
the scientifical requirements to permit
him to be graduated from the college
of literature, science and arts.
Mr.. Caldwell, a sophomore and forty
six years old. Is doubly handicapped. In
addition to his blindness, he lacks the
mechanical aids for the study of as
tronomy that often are afforded stu
dents who take up other studies. Blind
students of astronomy are so rare that
there are no textbooks with raised
type. Therefore, he depends upon fell
low-students to read his lessons to him.
So proficient has he become, his pro-
fessors say, that he frequently memo
rizes lesson by hearing 1T read only

In addition to astronomy, Mr.. Cald-
well is studying psychology. German,
French and Italian. He ranks as one of
the best students in his classes.

HENS HELP PASTOR
He Adds Considerably to Salary
by Selling Eggs.

Hartford. Conn.-The story of the
Long Island pastor who discovered his
flock of chickens had a language all
their own may be interesting from a
linguistic standpoint, but If there is any
truth in the old adage that money
talks the flock owned by Rev. Z. L..
Richards Of Canton Center has "said

Out of a flock of 100 pullets and
hens Rev. Mr.. Richards makes a net
profit of So day over and above the
cost of their upkeep. And not only
does he add considerably to his own
small salary as pastor of a small coun-
try church, but he has succeeded in
bringing greater degree of prosperity
to his spiritual flock through his
knowledge of his feathered one.
.'When l took the passionate of the
Canton Centre Congregational church

During the last year I, as manager

egg sold was candled and pronounced
perfect. Many were thrown away
those that showed any sign of blood

have found that by lighting the coops

Measuring Temperature.

Electric pyrometry, as the measure
ment of temperature by electric means
Is called, has been so far per-
fected that it Is applicable from near
the absolute zero-about 400 degrees
Fahrenheit below the ordinary zero
Ito the temperature of melting
platinum, more than 1900 degrees
Fahrenheit above zero. There are
two methods of measuring tempera-
ture by electrical means, one depend
ing upon the increase of electric re-
sistance of pure metal with increase
of temperature and the other on the
production OF an electromotive force

the only one. to gain a place among

Mytilene differs little from ancient
