ME OF MONIES What about a condensery in your vicinity? Have you one, or is there some agent in your neigh borhood just now trying to or ganize a company? There has probably not been a proposition that has been put up to the far mers and citizens of this North west in many years that has been so beautiful on the face of it and so disastrous as to results to those other than the promoters, who have been inveigled into it. The proposition is nicely worked out in dollars and cents and alwavs on the profit side of the column. Local pride in community and city are appealed to and if this does not work, then a bellicose disposition comes to the fore with threats to build it in the neighbor ing town, which is a live, pro pressive city and awake to its op- portunities, where mossbacks never lived and where graveyards burned by a live wire, the burns, are unknown, where everything; in addition to the fall he receiv is hustle and they start to work j ed, make his condition serious. so early in the monvngthey meet themselves coming back the night before, etc., etc., etc And presto change, the money too often comes after this array of facts about the sister city. What is the result? Too often the con densery is built and remains idle and the machinery for which a big price has been paid is sold at a small per cent of the original cost and the promoters go to some other town and repeat the opera tion. If you want a condensery write to the advertisers who use the columns of your farm papers. They are usually local men and can be relied upon and will sell you the machinery at much less cost to you. Allow the condens ery promoters and the lightning rod peddlers to associate with themselves, and if you need their wares go to your local man either in person or by letter and buy your goods at right prices. -Ore gon Agriculturist. Concluded from page ' 1 claim against the state. In other words, the board of regents appears to be willing that private citizens may assist in carrying out the state's contract provided they release the stats from any and all obligations in the matter. And in this connec tion it might be well to state that the funds so advanced could be used by the board to discharge obligations incurred prior to the action of the senate r al r.epudii. tionists. It is the unmistakable intention of the people of southern Oregon to refuse to be a party to any plan of repudiation. They intend to play fair and meet the shame ful conditions face to face, secure in the consciousness that i is not of their making. If this course means that the board of regents will refuse to issue diplomas to this year's graduates, let it come, for neither pupils nor teachers, nor the people of southern Ore gon will compromise with dis honor in an elfort to secure the diplomas. The seniors and jun iors will have had the benefit of the full term of school, and thanks to the intelligence and fair plav of California and Washington au thorities, may continue their edu cation along their chosen line in these states. When the term closes and all bills are met, the accounts will be carefully audited and claims against the state prepared, and the men who advanced the funds that enabled the school to keep faith with teacher and pupil will undoubtedly be promptly reim bursed by the legislature of 1911; for intelligence will not always be at a discount in our state sen ate.

T. Brooking " Whitman College Glee Club THE EOLCMETER. By Thii Instru ment It Measured tho Heat From the Start. A star ray, however bright, could hardly carry, it was imagined, even the smallest fraction of a degree of temperature across such immense gaps of empty space. But this idea wa3 proved incorrect by the late Professor S. P. Langley, who, with the aid of a wonderful instrument of his own invention, called a "bo lometer," succeeded in measuring the heat delivered upon the earth by several of thenars, such as Al pha Centauri, Areturus, Alcyone and Sirius. For this purpose the star ray was caught upon a large mirror disk, which was so arranged mechanically as to follow the twinkling orb in the heavens, reflecting the ray in such a manner as to cause it to fall upon the center of another mirror of concave shape. The second mir ror in its turn, concentrating the ray, threw it upon a thread of plat inum about the thickne-s of the fil ament a spider spins.' Through this thread a current of electricity was kept continually flowing. In "order to determine t':e temperature of the platinum thread it was merely necessary to measure its electrical resistance such resistance varying directly, with the temperature of the metal and this was accom- pusueu uy me a;a oi an extraordi narily sensitive galvanometer. , The galvanometer in question was a balance, the beam of which was a thread of spun glass five inches long and less in diameter than a human hair. In the exact middle of the beam was a concave mirror no bigger than a large pin head and so accurately made that it would fit perfectly upon a sphere about six feet in diameter. It also was of glass, weighing only two and one-half milligrams about as much as the hind leg of a fly and was fastened upon a square piece cut from a dragon's fly wing. The whole affair was suspended from a liber of spun quartz crystal two feet long a::d one five-thousandths of an inch thick. When the concentrated star beam fell upon the platinum thread its heat, inappreciable to ordinary hu man sense, raised the temperature of the metal, changing its electrical resistance correspondingly, and thus caused the beam of the balance to move. To record this movement a ray of candlelight was allowed to fall upon the tiny mirror already described, which threw it upon a measuring scale of white paper, where it appeared in the shape of a tiny dot of light. As this dot of light ran along the measuring scale it indicated exactly the amount of change in the temperature of the platinum thread in other words, the amount of heat carried by the star ray.

'Ijwp your wife as much as your mule,' and another tells the sood man, 'Shake your wife as you would a fruit tree.
