COUNT THE DUST PARTICLES

In connection with the solar radia-
tion work of the weather bureau,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. a daily count is being made Of
the number of dust particles In the at
mosphera. ut Washington. To make
the count, the air pressure within the
dust counter is suddenly decreased.
causing line Of dust to be preclpl-
tAted on glass. where the particles are
counted with microscope having a
mngnification Of 1000 dismeters. On
quiet mornings as many as 5000 dust
particles per cubic centimeter have
been counted. but on clear mornings
following precipitation the number
drops to $50.
Most OF the particles appear to be
extremely fine minerals or organic
matter from the earth's surface. al
though some unconsumed carbon from
smoke. gypsum and calcite from build
ing operations. and dlatomaceous ma
terial have been observed. Undoubted-
ly there are many particles which,
while large enough to act as nuclei for
condensation. are too small to be seen

MADE THE EMGLIsHMAN GASP
Amusing Error Which American Am
bassador to England Took With
Customary Good Nature.

In his book Of "reminiscences Mr..
John Drew. the famous actor, tells this
amusing incident that occurred under
his own eye at one OF those reconcil-
Ing celebrations OF the Fourth Of July
which have for years been held In
London with both Englishmen and
Americans In attendance. &N
After the two national anthems were
sung the supper room opened, and the
people fiocked Ia and found seats for
themselves. LeWis and I were sitting
next to an Engllshman who was evi-
IDENTITY very hungry and very thirsty.
MI. Phelps, the American minister,
walked Into the room and looked
round over the tables. He wore ode
whiskers and to chance observer
looked not unlike a maitre d'hotel.
The Engilshman. not knowing who ho
was, mistoOk him for one Of the wait
ers and asked him to bring him d
bottle Of Apollinaris. He pointed to
bottle nearby that had been opened.
Phelps good-naturedly took the bottle
and put 1t down in front Of the Eng
lishman and started to walk away.
The EnglIshman was lrate because
Phelps had not filled his glass. He
reprimanded him and as he did SO
stood up and called to the retreating
figure: "What do you mean by this?
And who are you?"
Phelps turned and answered: "My
name Is Phelps. am the American
minister at the Court Of st. James's."
The Englishman fell back in his
chair so violently that he knocked the
chair over backward.-YOuth's Com

IMMORTALITY IN THE PEN
Centennial Of lts First Manufacture
by Machinery 10 DsSsfvsd
Tribute to Its Power.

They have been celebrating in
England the centennial Of the first
manufacture by machinery OF the steel
pen, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
Hard hit by the war. the Birmingham
trade In pens has declined from 10000
gross a week to third Of the number.
As far as the United States Is
concerned. Camden is the birthplace
OF the steel pen Industry on large
scale. The manufacture Of the pens
was begun In about the year 1880. and
the large company was Incorporated In
1893: Metallic pens Of any sort were
not in common use until tie middle Of
the Nineteenth century, though Or.
Joseph Priestley had 4 steel pom fash
toned for him In 1870. The earliest
pens. made by hand. cost more than
a dollar apiece, and were cumbersome
and inc0nvenient Instruments even at
that price.
The output Of Camden's pen facto-
ries has nodded opinion and made his
tory. 1t Is impossible to trace the vast
influence In human affairs OF what
Gilbert Chesterton calls the 'little
scratching pen" that has split the
hearts Of men," 1t has been called
mightier than the sword, but that tells
only part Of the story. Civilization
leans on the written word, and the
pen has In its gift Immortality for
those who use 1t with power to tell
the truth. The same steel might make
a bullet to take a mans life. But
the pen has found mems hearts. not
to end lives, but to bless and heal
them.
