Heat of Stars.

FOR the first time since they began
to burn, the heat given off by the
stars has been measured Working
with the 1oo-inch telescope at Mount
Wilson observatory, DR., C. G. Abbot
measured the heat at different parts
of the spectrum of ten stars and
the sun. The rays were dispersed
by a spectroscope in a band similar
to the rainbow.
This particular investigation is an
outgrowth of work at the United
States astrophysical observatory in
studying solar heat. sun spectrum
fications of sunlight in passing
through our atmosphere
While ii might be supposed that the
investigation of a heat source whose
in-put on the earth's surface amounts
to the equivalent Of horse power
per couple of square yards would
require only simple and insensitive
apparatus. oQCl Is not the case. II
consists OF two hair-like wires of
platinum placed side by side. the
one hidden from the rays by means
OF metallic diaphragm, the other
exposed in the spectrum. The heat
absorbed by the exposed thread if it
be as little as millionth of de-
gree, suff1ces to disturb sensitive
electrical balance and by a beautiful
device introduced by Prof. Langley
in the earliest years at the astrophy-
sical observatory these indications
arc automatically recorded from one
end of the spectrum to the other.
The record takes the shape of a
curve which amounts to different
heights with reference to its base
line, and these heights are proper
tional to the heat in the various
rays Of the spectrum The absorp-
tion bands due to the chemical ele-
ments in the sun, and those due to
elements and compounds of gaseous
nature in the earth's atmosphere are
indicated as depressiors in this sinu-
Gus curve.

idol smashers?
Jorgos guessed her value. He
knew that old statues. dug up. had
great price in foreign eyes. especially
when entire. And his statue was en-
tire.
Yes, entire Fifty years later
Jorgos son protested. 1t happened
thus: The great Theirs began his
start as writer by study Of the
Venus of Milo and "the riddle of her
arms" And SO, later. when he be-
lie, he ordered his ambassador TO
Greece fthe great Jules Ferry TO
make trip to Melos and pick UP
local tradition.
Ferry found Jorgos' son and nephew
still alive.
They have grown to be beautiful
old men.%white bearded, ruddy. robust t
and bright eyed" reported Ferry.
Examined separately before the
French vice consul. they declared
steadily. with full details, that Venus
when found was standing upright,
her righ arm sustaining her draperies
and her left arm raised and extend
ed, it's hand holding an apple.
The story of the countryside is q
tale of battle" continued the French
ambassador. TT was fifty years ago.
At fifty years distance remembrance

Exporting Worm Holes.

THAT it pays to investigate needs
of foreign markets is shown by
the following incident which occurred
in foreign country short time ago,
recently reported to the lumber diyi-
sion OF the Department of Commerce.
An American exporter sent an un-
usually poor consignment Of .. oak,
which was found to be wormy.. to his
oversee connection, but no market
could be found for this parcel. This
consignment would have caused a
great loss to the. exporter were it
not for the fact that the consignee
happened to visit an antique furni-
ture factory. The manufacturer was
at that time busily engaged in
making antique grandfather's clocks
and found the oak in question to
answer his purpose very nicely be-
cause it eliminated the work of 'bor-
ing worm holes by hand. The parcel
was disposed Of at premium and .
profitable connection was established.

Unhappily, Marcellus arrived too
late.
When he arrived at Melos he found
that Jorgos had sold the statue over
again to the primates of the island
Greek prince with whom they curried
favor They had paid half the price.
But the French consular agent
(BresD had also paid lump sum on
Metterer's account and Jorgos had
executed papers declaring that he
held the statue in trust for France.

When Neville Lytton became our

T<HE most important visitor from

have been absurd to take Lloyd
George into dangerous places where
he might have lost his life. He did,
however. get within reach of long
range shells. and l remember seeing
him emerge from an old German
dugout wearing Tin hat" above his
somewhat eXuberant white locks.
Some Tommies standing near re-
marked his somewhat unusual ap-
pearance. Who's that bloke?" asked
one of them.
''Blmy!' said the other. 1T look 8
like the Archbishop of Canterbury"
The visit of Lloyd George was re-
garded with some suspicion by the
high command. He's up to some
mischief. I'll be bound" said one of
our generals in my hearing. 1t was
rumored that his relations with Sir
Douglas Haig were not very cordial,
and I was personally aware. after a
breakfast meal in Downing street
that Lloyd George had no great ad-
miration of British generalship. But
II was amusing to see how quickly he
captured them all by his geniality.
,.quickness Of wit and nimble intelli-
gence, and by the apparent simplicity
in his babe-blue eyes Officers who
had alluded TO him as the damned
little Welshman" were clicking heels
and trying to get within the orbit Of
his conversation.
The coming of the Americans, the
genius OF Foch in supreme command
the immortal valor of the British and
French troops. first in retreat, then in
advance, the liberation of many great
cities. the smashing of the German
war machine and the great surrender
make the last year Of the war unfor-
gettable in history.
l verify believe that without or
chronicles the spirit of the nation
would not have maintained it's great
ness of endeavor and sacrifice. There
are some who hold that to be the
worst accusation against US. They
charge US with having bolstered up
the spirit OF hatred and made a quick
er and better peace impossible. / do
not plead guilty 10 that. for. from
first to last. no word Of hate slipped
into my narrative, and my pictures of
war did not hide the agony Of reality
nor the price Of victory.
