' ' ; - '.We feel deeply for the German ''people within 'OurTnidst who are , having a hard struggle within 'their hearts to resist the love 'that binds them to the Father land. That the Germans, to a man, will prove loyal to the land of Ahek adoption, we haven't vthe slightest doubt, our- only ob ject in mentioning this at all is - to p$nt out to all that we should -be considerate -of "other people's feelings. -;-r-;V-.;.;r;':v,, ... : "We find refuge in this time of . gathering storm in the fact that the whole country is : united as cne man to resist, the approach ing catastrophe, t HJGHT WAVES. temeiTee "Nny to Be SMnVafSolanea Can- f."cns,.iro)Them, The very smallest thing. on eartU which has oeen actually measured is a light wave. Light waves, of course, are of differ ent lengths. In the spectrum the red waves are longest, orange next, yellow text, and so on to the violet, which are ihortest of the visible waves. So if re were to give the measurement ot the very smallest thing we would have to take one -of the light waves in the violet end of the -spectrum or, better still, one of the waves of the ultravio let portion Tvhlch Is Invisible. "Fue shortest of these that has beeu determined la 120 mllllonths of a milli meter. . Qhaufflng this to fractions of aa inch; we can comprehend tho small-, ness of the wave better. If these waves were placed one- oil top of the other there would be more than 200,000 of them in a line one inch long. The neg ative corpuscle which Is a constituent part of the atom is known to be small er thait: this, but Its exact size has not been determined. -, That these light waves can be measv ured is due to: the fact that as light wares are refracted it Is only a matter ef determining the angle of refraction and by triangulatlon finding the length. -Kansas City Star.

Oriflinally -From Asia4t is Still Found . . : In China and Tibet. s Generally speaking, the English pheasant is misnamed, since it came from Asia and is still to be found In India. Tibet, and China. The birds were brought to Europe more than BOO years ago, turned loose . on . hunting preserves and thrived amazingly. They supply the finest bird snooting in Scot? land and England, and so much care is taken; in raising them that they may almost be regarded as a half domesti cated bird. . Under the, present system the eggs lire hatched. by bens or in incubators. The chicks are carefully fed on In-seeta- and prepared roods., and when .they are able to shift for themselves they are turned lajto the woods. While the common pheasant will roost In trees, it Is a ground bird., The female will 'remain under cover until it is al most stepped upon, i : Because of this trait the pheasants are aroused by men who beat in the thickets untU the pheasants take flight over shooting boxes, where the hunt ers are coiwealed.
