alarming Tlie wells on the west end

ply for the engines and the demand
on the -tank atBeaver City where
the supply is larger is more than

soon or the flow of water increases

THE PRESENT INSTANT
Science Defines It as the Hundredth
Part of a Second
A congress of European abtrouoniers
decided that the present time that is
the present moment at any particular
instant consists of the hundredth part
of a second This has been buttled on
because these men of science have
thought that it represented the tiniest
fraction of time which could be appre
ciated by the human brain Yet the
thousandth part of a second is actually
used in physical science especially in
certain Important uses of electricity
For scientific purposes however the
official present moment flashes from
the future to the past in the hun
dredth part of a second This cannot
seem so remarkable when it is recalled
that speed records for both horses and
men runners are officially calculated in
fractions as small as one fifth of a sec
ond
But in astronomy It Is needed to
have the hundredth part of a second
for in that moment light can travel
2000 miles So time which is after all
only a figure of speech and is a mys
tery that no hmuan brain can under
stand or fathom must be considered
relatively to ones sensations The
time to pull an acjsng tooth is really
much longer to the sufferer than a
whole night spent in sound sleep It Is
more of the persons actual life It de
mands more food to stand the nervous
strain and the pain than hours of quiet
rest
Time then for all men fe relative to
their personal sensations Yet time is
real enough It takes actual time for
starlight to travel in some cases thou
sands of years It takes time for sound
to travel and time for the electric wave
to work actual results over long dis
tances
So that time is not only theoretical
it is as real as coal and wood Yet this
reality stretches over a human life
time back to ages before the existence
of the sun and the stars For purposes
of ordinary human work the second is
small enough to use as a standard of
value but scientific men have pro
gressed so far in knowledge that the
second Is too long a period for them to
consider as the scientific instant
Therefore they have chosen the hun
dredth of a jecond as the standard for
the length of time that they will con
sider as the actual moment at any one

SHE FOUND
OUT
Evangelines mother was irritated
anl justly so For what can be more
annojing than not to know the matri
monial intentions of ones own child
Evangelines mother would have
given a great deal to know whether
her daughter really cared anything
about Ross Everts and whether she
intended to marry him That he in
tended to marry Evangeline was clear
but of course that was a different
matter A mother hates to give up
her child but even the most affection
ate mother cannot be blind to such
u combination of family looks posi
tion and wealth as Ross Everts when
thrown at a daughters feet and tac
itly begging to be picked up and ac
cepted While Evangeline seemed
recklessly indifferent to her luck her
mother being older was not
Any other man in Ross placp
said Evangelines mother severely
would have been mortally offended
long ago at the way youve treated
him and would have walked off and
never come back and you know it
Pooh Its good for him de
clared Evangeline lightly He im
proves with every snubbing
Youll snub him once too often
said her mother
I dont care returned the daugh
ter
Evangeline youll drive me dis
tracted lamented her mother How
can you be so blind to your own in
terests Youll get married some
day of course and let me tell you
that youll never get a chance like
Ross Everts again Why any girl
might be proud to have him to show
a preference frr her
Oh I dont know said Evange
line indifferently Then she yawned
He has the finest eyes went on
her mother in an aggrieved tone
And he Is so thoughtful
Is he inquired Evangeline ab
sently
Look at the lovely things he has
done for you said her mother I
should think that would touch you
Right on top of his giving you a din
ner and theater party you forget an
engagement with him and go away
with Ted White who doesnt amount
to a row of pins Im surprised that
Ross Everts ever came to see you
again
Well remarked Evangeline I
could have managed to exist if he
hadnt He Isnt exactly the light ot
the world to me There are lots of
interesting people on earth besides
Ross Everts You certainly have been
hypnotized by j him mother I
I think said her parent with dig
nity that I have sense enough if
you havent to appreciate a fine young
young man when I see him Dont
you really like him Evangeline
Oh I dont know returned her
daughter Sometimes ou get tired
of so much devotion
Tired of Ross Everts cried the
mother throwing up her hands to
heaven I wish some of the girls
who are so crazy about him could
hear you say that Theyd be certain
that you were putting It on
Im not declared Evangeline He
just doesnt appeal to me I dont see
that he is a bit different or better
than half a dozen others
I dont understand you in the least
Evangeline her mother returned
Still its your own affair If you
dont like him you dont though I
must say 1 cant see why you let him
come around so much if he bores
you Maybe youre right though
we cant all see things the same way
It really isnt so much his looks its
just his expression When you come
down to it his eyes are more green
than hazel
Why how you talk cried her
daughter Ross has splendid eyes
Green Absurd Even if I dont care
about him I guess I know his eyes are
as brown as brown
Well said her mother all right
But possibly his having such an in
come wont be the best thing for him
Money has ruined many a young man
He may take to drink or to gambling
In stocks or something equally
Mother Im surprised at you
broke in Evangeline You certainly
havent observed him much not to
know that Ross Everts has the
strongest sort of a character and sim
ply could do nothing underhanded
or small or foolish
As for his being so devoted com
mented her mother you cant always
tell -I wasnt going to speak about
it but while you were away he was
running around all the time with
Mabel Todd and people said
I simply dont believe It cried
Evangeline getting to her feet Why
he wrote me that he was lonesome
and spent all his evenings at home
thinking of me Anyhow if you want
to believe such stories you may but
I wont I guess I know Ross Everts
and I guess I know hes the finest
most trustworthy person that ever
lived and Im not going to hear mean
things said about him
Thats all right Evangeline said
her mother beaming Maybe I was
mistaken about Mabel Todd In fact
I am sure I am because I Just thought
of it on the spur of the moment I
Just wanted to find out something that
you wouldnt tell me and I have
Find out something stammered
Evangeline Id like to know what
