THE LITTLE PLANET MERCURY

(By Arthur Dew. C~arpenter)
Mercury is the smallest IF the
worlds Of the solar system Cnot
considering the planetoids), with a
diameter Of 300 miles, or $40 miles
greater than the moons diameter.
Its surface area is but Is per cent?
Of that of the earth'S. Being S0I
close to the sun-36 million miles
it has a temperature hot enough to
melt lead, $50 degrees Centigrade,,
making physical life upon its sur
face impossible. Mercury makes
but one rotation on its axis, while

quently it keeps the same geogra-
phical surface directed continuously

Washington Letter
NJ urDDrur ~ Ur Trn-FrD
By HERBERT c. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, July 5.-ThiS is the story Of how
one Of the most distinguished members Of the United
States senate saw Washington for the first time be-
cause Of his ability to ride a freight train unseen.
The distinguished senator is David Aiken Reed Of
Pennsylvania. The story dates back to 1898.
Young Reed was a student at Princeton. 1t was
on the eve of William McKinleys inauguration as
president Of the United States. The event was q sub
ject of much discussion on the campus.
Reed and a classmate made a wager with two
other freshmen that they could hobo their way to
the capital in time to witness the Inauguration. The
quartet set out.
The other two didn't get very far. At Philadel-
phia they were caught, and a justice Of the peace sent
them back to Princeton. But Reed and his friend
pushed on. By freight and trolley they reached Bal
timore. From Baltimore to Washington they rode
the rods" arriving in the cold dawn of March 4. Both
we're hungry, cold, dirty and broke.
%**%
DIFFICULTIES
Once here young Reed started out to get a check
cashed. He chose the most promising looking place
and presented his, demand for SIS.
"Who are you?" his chosen b~enefactor asked gruff-
ly, looking first at the check and then at the two
grimy faces before him.
II am the son of Judge James H. Reed Of Pitts
burgh," came the prompt answer.
ooh, you are, are you?" jeered the skeptical one.
and I suppose you there" looking sc~ornfully at
Reeds friend, ARE the son Of President Mckinley"
The two walked mournfully out into the street.
Later on in the day they were fortunate enough to
meet up with a friend. From him they borrowed $40
and proceeded to enjoy the Inauguration.
But they didn't ride the rods" back. They saw
to it that enough was saved out Of the $50 for train
fare back to Princeton.
HAS TASK
This same Reed will be much in the public eye for
the next few months. AS a member Of the senate
finance committee he has spent long and arduous
hours this summer framing the tariff bill for presen-
tation when the senate reccnvenes in August.
Upon his shoulders will fall much Of the burden
Of waging the fight on the floor. Coming from Penn
sylvania, he Is. naturally, a high protectionist, al
though it is an open secret that he is sore at heart
over some of the schedules in the bill passed by the
house.
About six feet tall, slender. smooth-shaven and
keen-eyed, he has everything about him that denotes
a man Of action. He speaks slowly, and his method Of
thought is direct and definite.
To talk with him is to be reminded Of the college
professor, all of us have known, who used to deplore
the decadence of literature because the magazines
would not print the articles he had written on the
classics.
He is one Of the most profound students Of the
senate.
Senator Reed was a major during the world war
and Is q crack rifle shot. Using q military rifle, he
scored 245 out Of a possible $50 and shot IS bulls eyes
out Of a possible 50.
