Among the miracles Of mod
ern science, none are more re-
markable than the achieve
ments of astrophysicists in de-
ternining the temperature ana
constitution Of the stars.
Surely it Is an a m z1ng
achievement to be able to
measure, with remarkable pre-.
cision, the pera ture d
stars, tens and hundreds OF
light years away from us.
Three emarkable instr j.
ments employed in these inves-
LEGATIONS are the bolometer, the
radiometer, and the spectre
scope. The public associates
the name of the late Samuel
Pierpont Langley with his bril-
liant but ill-fated experiments
with heavier-than-air flying
machines. But it was Lang
lev who invented the bololn-
eter, the extraordinary little
instrument which measures the
suns varying output Of energy.
The bolometer is actually an
electrical thermometer, WI n
two hair-like ribbons Of plat

black, one of them fitting be-
hind q metal plate.
AS the. rays Of the solar
spectrum fall upon the exposed
one, it warns it above the tenl-
perature of its hidden neigh
Dor. The tiny temperature 1if-
ference, even If less than IL,
100000 degree, suffices to alter
the electric current balance of

and so records the warming or
cooling of the exposed ribbon
of the boIon1eter.
There is q clockwork mech
anism and q Photographic
plate, and the solar spectrum
is moved back and forth across
the sensitive wires, making
permanent record of what
Langley called "solar-energy
spectrum curve" or "bolo-
graph" This record shows not

ONCE-OVERS

Some one Is circulating derog-
atory stories about you.
OF a greatly exaggerated ma.
ture, to be sure, but some little
truth about them and so you
fear to be too aggressive IN
denying them.
Rather than have the truth
come out. you are standing for
untruths.
Would Il not be better to
meet the effect Of these IN
truths or unfavorable facts
rather than allow additional
evil to be attributed to you?
Your weakness was in allow
ing yourself to get mixed up
in affairs not creditable to
your character or position.
If you still keep the undesir-
able associations you deserve
no sympathy.
You deserve the censure you
may be getting.
But if your misdeeds are be-
hind you and you are now nv
ing close to the narrow path,
you should fight those who
malign you.
Usually it is those who have
shady regulations or a past
they would like to keep hidden
who are apt to attack the repu'
tation Of another.
Don't be so. fearful Of at
tacking and fighting others
with the same weapons shey
employ, but see that you do
not tell lies.

Three boys killed their
fathers in Milwaukee this year.
They were all young, they all
killed for the same reason
IN DEFENCE OF THEIR
MOTHERS. Gustave Tietz and
Joseph Owens were acquitted.
William Phillips, however, was
sentenced to fourteen years at
iWaupun.
You saw his picture, perhaps?
A slender youngster of nine
teen, with rather stupid. girlish
eyes and a frightened soft
mouth. And the picture Of his
mother, convulsed with grief.
"FIe was always good boy
such a good boy" she moaned.
The Judge agreed with her.
But he insisted that a boy who
would lie in wait and shoot his
father-even though that boot
logging father had tortured and
terroriZed his family for years
was a murderer. So he sent
Willie up to Waupun. And
now everyone is sorry for poor
Mrs. Phillips. I'm sorry for
her too. God help her through
the long black nights ahead.
And yet
Planting Hate
The wonder to me is that
such tragedies are not more
frequent! Not because of what
some fathers do with their
cruelty-BUT BECAUSE OF
WHAT SOME MOTHERS DO,
WITH THEIR COWARDICE
AND THEIR CARRYINGON.
