Of August; and for the greater
part Of the time it is much
nearer.
At certain times It actually
reaches the overhead point-twice
every year at the equator, and
once every year on each tropical
circle. In its annual motion it
simply swings back and forth,
23h degrees on each side Of the
zenith. At the equator the
length Of day as compared with
night never changes, and the
change is relatively small every
where within the tropics.
Light Has No Substance.
Comparing these conditions with
those that prevail in our lati-
tudes, and ! having ascertained
the effect Of a low inclination Of
the suns rays in reducing the
temperature, we need look no
farther to find, as "a" says, the
main reason for the relatively
great heat Of the equatorial eli
mate, or the great difference OF
temperature between our winter
and summer.
AS for friction" between the
suns rays and the revolving at.
mosphere and surface Of the
earth, that could not be unless
tine rays resembled stiff brushes,
composed of substantial material,
resisting the motion Of the air
across them. But they are held
to no only electromagnetic dis
turbances in the unsubstantial
ether. They do, however, affect
matter by setting its molecules
into vibration, and it is believed
that they exert a slight push"
upon the earth. But the momen-
tum Of this push depends upon
their immense velocity-1S6, 300
miles per secondhand the effect
Of which could not be perceptibly
varied by composition with such
relatively insignificant velocity as
that Of the earth's rotation, which
at the equator is only one six
hundred and seventy thousandth
of the velocity of the light rays.
The velocity at forty degrees lati-
tude is less than q quarter smaller
than that at the equator.

PusS Moth

A FULL.GROWN puss moth
"A can fly at a fair rate of
"A speed, but while in the
caterpillar stage the insect Is
slower than the proverbial tor
toise. Because it has fewer legs
than other caterpillars the
clumsy creature has to stand it's
ground and scare off attackers
by a peculiar method.
Two red appendages, project
ing from long tubes, are used to
intimidate invaders. The cater
pillar waves these appendages
like a flagman giving the dan
ger signal. Either frightened
or fascinated, the caterpillar's
enemies leave 1t alone and
search for less ferocious victims.

Prosperity? Yes, a Little
Ask the Coal Man.

There signs of prosperity here there For instance
not long coal companies telling you that thew
REALLY COULDN'T Eve-miners wanted such terrific
wages, etc.
The Pittsburgh Coal Company in 1929 earned something
over $OOOOOO after putting away funds etc. That
was $1616 share the stock 1922 the stock
earned only $780,
The New York Central report shows surplus in 1923 Of
$748770-more than twenty million dollars in excess of
ae surplus in 1922 No wonder the stockholders regret
sudden death Of their president a real railroad man.
When you that corporations cant afford todavs
high wages" look at their reports.

Being cute" is the first step
toward becoming sassy.
The upper end of mans spine
is about all that counts for much.
Loves appetite is all out Of
proportion to its digestion.
Experience makes a man care
full more than it makes him Wlse'
Both fools and rascals often
find dignity a great protection.
Taking things easy makes peo-
pie healthy, but not rich.
Bad luck seems to be the only
commodity not subject to the law
of supply and demand.

one husband after another-or
wife, as the case may be.
1t Is not enough to be merely
good; a man must also be capable.
To gather in all the dollars you
can and part with but few Of
them-this is success"
It is hard to hire a man with
common sense, for he is generally
running a business Of his own.

~ NE Of the things which leads
me on in these attempts to
~ convey a little information
that is ordinarily - though mis-
takenly-supposed to be generally
acquired in school or college, is
the astonishing gap revealed in
my correspondence between the
literary and the scientific attain
ments Of people who have re-
ceived what is called "a good av-
erage education" / do not speak
OF technical knowledge, but only
simplest, everyday phenomena Of
nature. What I mean Is well
Illustrated by this letter:
please settle this argument:
A says that perpendicular strik-
ing Of the suns rays makes
eQuator's climate hot, and that
Is the main reason. B says that
on account Of the earth's greater
rotating velocity at the equator.
heat is produced by the friction Of
the suns rays with the earth and
the atmosphere"
"a" has the right idea, having
correctly understood what teach"
ers and textbooks have told him.
But whence did "B" derive his
very odd notion about friction
with the sunbeams? This is a
question made the more puzzling
by the fact that a considerable
number Of other persons seem to
entertain the same curious idea
concerning the origin Of the heat
derived from the suns rays.
Have they reasoned 1t out" for
themselves, or has some "zetetic
philosopher" Of the "flat earth"
school, been teaching them?
Rays Direct At Equator.
Now, let us look at the facts:
At the equator. and as far north
and south Of it as the tropical
circles, which run round the
earth, one on each side Of the
equator, at a distance Of about
2S1k degrees, the sun at noon is
never farther from the zenith

4 OLDEN GATE PARK in San Francisco

~ OLDEN GATE PARK in San Francisco
is a unique achievement. Forty years
~ ago this place was waste of shifting
sand dunes. Today it's forests and rich
gardens spread for miles. Exotic plants
from every cline bloom in profusion, rare
trees find soil agreeable to their natures.
Every foot Of the space is fragrant with
flower and leaf. From wind-blown sand in
which no life would root to groves and
gardens is a long and seemingly impossible
step to one who knows gardening. How
was it doneG
1t wasn't done for long time. Attempt
after attempt failed to bind the sand and
root life. It looked very much as if San
Francisco must do without her park. But
finally they planted ice plants These are
