COY. PINCHOT
BESIEGED BY
CALLERS

TTARRISBURG, Pa.,-Pennsyl-
vanIa for perhaps the first
- time Is enjoying the expert
ence of having a national figure
for governor. Pennsylvania gov
errors have been famous for a
number Of things within the
States own borders, but few Of
them have been national figures.
With the possible exception OF
John X. Teper, who was promi.
nent in baseball circles, Governor
Pinchot is the first executive in
whom visitors here from other
States are vitality interested.
One of the most popular things
in pennsylvania localities just
now is to send q Geputation to
see the governor. No one ever
tried to estimate just how many
Populations the governor receives
in the course of a month, but
there is lot of them. If the
State highway department runs
new road which runs counter to
the wishes of a village-and there
are many Of them that way
that village promptly appoints a
delegation Of prominent citizens
to see the governor.
II municipal affairs at any
place are not administered prop
erly, or a railroad wants to
abolish q grade crossing, the
popular method Is to send any
where from three to thirty citi-
zens to talk 1t ever with the
governor. Add to that the various
self-admitted "Pinchot workers"
and even a casual visitor will
understand why the waiting-room
at the executive offices is usually
filled.
The popularity of these confer
ences is partly explained by the
fact that the governor sees all OF
the deputations. Sometimes they
have to wait quite while, for
the governor is always busy.
There are few, however, who
wait who do not finally get a
hearty handshake, pleasant
word and careful attention. Even
the carpet in the governors
wafting-room is beginning to
show the wear OF conferences.
Within the last few weeks
some of the country's best spe-
cial writer's have been among the
governors visitors.

spectacle that one cannot COM

until nature Is ready to exhibit
it, / am unable to anaIyze your
description with my eye upon the
thing itself. But i have q suffi-
GENTLY clear image Of It left by
memory IN the mind, to under.
stand, believe, what you mean.
It is also easy to represent the
elements Of the scene geonetri-

When the heavens are full OF
Wind-driver clouds, they are at
various elevations, and when the
fun moon is shining not only !, re
shadows Of the higher clouds cast
upon the lower ones, ltand
this Is important for explaining
your puzzle some of the lower

ter being 50 situated as to be
illuminated by the moon, while
the lower clouds are not.
Thus the impression might be
produced that some Of the clouds
were actually above the level of
the moon. Or YOU may have seen
the moon through 4 rather thin
cloud and thus got the impress
sion that the cloud was above or
behind the moon.
An Illusion.
The apparent racing Of the
moon across the interspaces be-
tween the clouds Is an Illusion Of
the RELATIVELY Of motion. How
numerous these examples of
'.relativity'' and its tricks upon
the senses become now that Elm.

universal attention to theml It
Is, Of course, the clouds that do

umphant grace, like the huntrese
whose name she bears.
But IL there happens to be q
bright star near the MOON. notice
that IT, too, runs as fast ais she

ging her footsteps as faithfully IS
one Of Diana's own hounds. And
when, as something happens, the
clouds are all swept away and
heavens star-spangled floor IS
