Girls' thoughts turn . naturally to wed dings In June as a young man's to -love In March and April, but less lightly. A wedding Is not a matter to be lightly undertaken. Leaving' sentiment out of consldera- tlon. It has an ex tremely practical side, that appalls many a prospective bride. ' , The ., more thoughtful she is ' the more likely is she to be appalled. All that faculty of "management" which . will make her notable as a house keeper is taxed by the event. Even though her . mother possesses, the faculty in high de gree and is willing to work her fingers to the, bone, and her brain to gray mat ters, the bride Is the captain of the wed ding ship. Everybody obeys her orders, and whether the white ribboned craft sail into- the port of success or be ship wrecked on the shoals of a mass of de tails that go wrong depends upon her captaincy. t One June bride was sent -by -her family to a hotel to spend the day before her wedding, so that she might not be wor ried by . the countless last day: happen ings. Immured with hep hair :dresser and wanlqji;e t her - tars- .were -.-spared the' jangle 4f ? the, door bell and telephone,' her eyes reading numberless last, words from anxious friends or puzzled trades men,, her nerves Innumerable fears that "something will happen," that the dreaded "hitch," feared by ajl careful campaigners might occur.-, This was surcease for the bride, wel come surcease, no doubt, but wasn't that bride something of a deserter?. Won't she -,be' the sort of a wife who will have a headache when her husband asks if he may bring a friend home to dinner? Maybe' she had an ancestor who enlisted for the- war but fainted on the firing line. At any rate, young June has already furnished a bride who Is in strong con trast to this picture. Dining with a friend a month before the wedding, She answered '. the friend's remark, "I sup pose you'll be half dead the day of the wedding, because you'll be tired out, like other brides?" 1 A Young Man's Plight v By BEATRICE Suppose fancy turns to love? How can a young man, who is a stranger In a town, go about It to make the acquaint ance of the girl his heart is seeking? There are chances offered him for hardening - his muscles in a gymnasium. He an get lessons in swimming; oppor tunities for improving his brain are fairly thrust upon him; he gets free baths, free books, free music, free art galleries, free parks, and if he gets financially embar rassed he gets aid from a provident as sociation. But it he is a self-respecting, honorable, 'steady young man with ability to support a wife, and the longing to have .one, how can he find her? He is a stranger in a big city; his, employer Is concerned in his brain, his back, his hands and -his habits. His heart doesn't concern the man who employs him; neither does it seem to concern the altruists. ' This Is the fifth letter of this tenor 1 have received n a week: "I am a .young man who came to the city' a few month3 ago, taking a good position. But I find my chances of meet ing girls my equal' are not very good. Perhaps you will teil me to Join some church society, - as you told - a business girl who was discouraged for the same reason. But I have been to several churches, and I do not believe the oppor tunities for a stranger to meet girls come that way, , "I 'have met a few ladies of well respected families who seemed to like me, but they are so much older than my self. I only want one girl, but I want one suited to make a happy marriage. I believe there are as many girls as young men who find themselves in a position similar to mine. Now, how are they going to get together? '(I can dance, and have gone to several dances lately, but the class of girls one finds at dances are not to my liking. My love goes deeper than Just beauty. So many girls nowadays seem to have noth ing but foolishness in their heads; they want the real sporty man. and will not ! give the other fellows a chance, and from what I know the men they prefer are 'not the men with good Intentions. I "Now, what are the fellows like myself .going to do to find the right girl? I have about decided to go to the matrimonial papers, for, among all the girls adver Monk The Adventure of the Cross-Country Ride I'" KiF l . . . .

ANO THli EXPLODED tftAcnea. twva riOEMTVf THE CAUSE OF THE House's sudden Swerve TV-IP" Dirt era iac VtDENTCT TAKEN BY "Not 1," answered the sturdy young woman, squaring her shoulders as she had when she played basket ball at col lege. "I'm all through." "What?" , "Tes; trousseau finished, wedding list of guests made out and envelopes ad dressed. We've deolded about the re freshments. The next two weeks I will give to resting and attending to the un expected. My - bridesmaids will visit me for a week before' the wedding, and I Intend to rest from my shopping and planning and have that week free for them and to enjoy myself." The plan worked admirably. The bride appeared not fifteen years older, as the brides who work like galley slaves until the last moment and arrive late at the church do, but looked her loveliest, as a bride should, and she walked up the church aisle in perfect time to the music instead of two steps ahead of it, as she would have done had she been worried about whether the ice cream would melt before the guests were all served. At the reception at the house all was as serene as the steady ticking of the old-fashioned clock in the hall. There was not even . any flurried thanking of the arriving guests for their wedding gifts, for each day as the gifts arrived the bride had written her thanks for them. Neither, by the way, were they on exhibition. The star of this event had ordered them all packed and sent away for storage until needed. "They were all lovely and 'I am de lighted, but I don't want any of my friends to be made sensitive by compari son of their gifts. My heart was full of gratitude to every one and I determined that a Bolid silver vegetable set should not outshine a hand mirror." Even to the Impertinent parting volley had this bride planned her day of days. There was no rice to be laboriously swept from the carpets nor shaken from the hair nor pried from the eyes and ears. Instead of the cereal she had provided rose leaves cut from pink and white tissue paper and placed in boxes. Into these boxes of Amertcan confetti the more exuberant guests thrust their hands, and with the floating paper pelted the freshly wedded pair. From the win dow of the departing carriage the bride tossed awary one pink petal that rested on ' the bride groom's shoulder and laughed. A bride who has so well ordered her wedding may laugh. FAIRFAX. tising In these papers, there must be some chance of finding a few with some education and good sense who could make life happy for a man. it certainly Is hard for men placed In positions like mine to find them." An interesting letter, and one that car ries with it a conviction of sincerity and good faith. But who can give the remedy? This young man goes to church, no one knows him, and In the great majority of churches no one cares to. If some good brother takes him by the hand, it is to express the hope that he will come again. If he goes again, he may, by going many, many times, finally get his passport to good society (his face) passed upon favorably, and be introduced to a woman. This may happen. Sometimes It Is a year In happening; often It never hap pens. One cannot blame those inside the shelter of the church and who- are In trenched In their circle of friends too harshly. v Serious happenings have resulted from introducing the casual acquaintance into a family fold. At the same time there Is sympathy for a well-meaning man like the writer of this letter who must suffer isolation and loneliness because of the crimes of men before him. So much sympathy that his protest should open some way for him to meet the right kind of a girl. It is his due. He was put on earth to marry, and the progress of the world depends, in a measure, upon that mar riage being a happy one. Every mis mated marriage is a factor for national disaster. He Is hard-working, sensible, ambitious and wants a wife who will possess good sense. He has looked for her at public dances, and no one Is surprised that he did not find her there. He threatens to look to the matrimonial papers, and I seriously doubt if be will find her there. Then, what chanc is left? If he waits in patience I am sure he will meet her, but it is hard to accept such counsel when one is young and It is springtime. It Is a problem for the altruists, vtho must know that true love Is as Important a factor In the soul's salvation as free libraries, free art galleries and free swim ming pools. .. ; : : : ,' " ' . . - 11 I II 1 1 WET WIS PATH The Manicure Lady "Brother Wilfred had a grand time when them Germain sailors was here, George," said the Manicure Lady.

Unknown ages ago a wonderful emigra tion began from the surface waters, of the sea to its sunless depths. Creatures whose kind had begun their career in the shallow, transparent waters of bays, Inlets, river mouths and sand bars, crawled or swam, down the slopes of the ocean floor, descending deeper and deeper, venturing at each step a little farther Into the darkness of the great abyss, gradually accustoming themselves to the gloom, to the Increased pressure and to the absence of marine vegetation, until, through the effects of evolution, they had lost all but the most essential marks of kinship with their relatives whom they had left In brighter waters above. And thus orlginateed the strange popu lation of the deep sea, which sees noth ing of the upper world except the life less remains that sink slowly down Into the depths. Occasionally the wreck of a ship comes down, and continually there Is a descending rain of little animals called protozoa, which have perished above, but are preserved from decay in the pure water, and furnish a large part of the food of the inhabitants of the THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1912.

He had him up to the house to dinner, and he sure was a nice chap. His name Is Otto something. The dinner up to the house was all right, but Wilfred had to take Otto out after dinner and make a night of it. He got a ten from the old gent to cover expenses, and father only gave it to him because he liked the friend. Father ain't giving Wilfred many fives and tens these days. He is too much loser.

But these sunless cseatures also feed upon one another, thus imitating their aban doned relatives above. The carnivorous character of some of the deep sea ani mals proves that the tragedy of the struggle for existence continues in the sumbarine night At a depth of 2,500 fathoms (nearly three miles) the pressure of the water amounts to about twe and a half tons to the square inch. The animals that live amid such pressure have small, soft, yielding bones, and a physical constitu tion fitting them to their environment. They cannot safely venture" far out of their usual haunts. If, in pursuit of their prey, they make an unlucky rush up wards, and go too far, they lose control of themselves, the gases expand in their air-bladders and they are hurried on, hugher and higher, like runaway balloons, until swollen and distorted, or even National News Assn. 1 f A Rough rider., as you I ( you se,ujMsorrouRFU)SHO,I OBSG FROM THfc PISCES cTl TJf fl0MW T 3 HIS.

Wilfred ain't none too good a judge of things when he is eating a early breakfast, let alone when he can't eat any dinner, sq he fell for the silly stuff and believed that he was going to meet the officers of the flagship.

At the greater depths which thoy live . this la probably no light from the sun. Some have thought tkat even at the bot tom of the sea, or at least to a depth of 2,000 fathoms, there may be a faint Illumination, resembling a pale, green moonlight; but the better opinion seems to be that below a few hundred fathoms there is no light except such as is fur nished by the phosphorescent organs with which some of these creatures are pro vided. Occasionally one is found having rows of llght-gtvlng cells arranged along the sides of the slender body, from head to tall, and as It moves through the dark water it must resemble a long ocean liner with its port boles pouring out streams of light. Others have phosphores cent organs arrayed about their eyes, and throwing out sufficient Illumina tion to enable them to see nearby ob jects. It is posslbb that a community of phosphorescent animals living on the sea-bottom may resemble a city, with Its twinkling lights seen at night from a balloon. bursting from the tension of their Impris oned gases, they perish miserably. Thus, once in a while; they reach the surface. Drawn for The Bee by Gus Mager The Flight By REV. THOMAS Jane 31, 1T01. It was 121 years ago today-June a, 17l-that King , Louis the Sixteenth of France, made the famous sttempt to run away from his people. , The great Mlrabeau, in whom Louts had confided, was dead, and listen ing to evil coun sel, ths king de cided to fly from the wild democracy which, with the bit In Its teeth, was apparently running away with the state. Accordingly, the king, dressed as a valet de-chambcr, the queen In the habit of a maid, Madame Elizabeth, the daughter, the princess and the gov erness of the royal children, were packed Into a big coach, and started off for the frontier. AH went swimming for a while, and when they had got as far away as Varennes, the queen, full of hope, ex? claimed: "All goes well. If we were to have been caught It would have taken place before this." . But the queen's hope was destined to be most rudely dashed. At Varennes the king was recognized by one Druet, an ardent, revolutionist, and his royal ma jesty was apprehended and taken before the magistrate of the place for an ex planation. The magistrate, Bausse by name, a "poor little timid shop keeper." was scared almost to death when he learned the character of the personages who stood before him. In the dingy shop a big rustlo rudely Informed, the king that he recognised him. "If you recognized him." said Marie Antoinette, sharply, "speak to him with the respect which Is his due." - The bridges of Varennes were bar ricaded and messengsrs were sent to Paris for the orders of the National as Questions ml By EDGAR LVCIEN LARKIN. Q. The - Titanic, when It struck the Iceberg was moving with a speed of twenty-three knots per hour. What does knot mean here? A. Unknown with accuracy. A cir cle is divided Into 21.600 minutes of aro. It Is supposed that the circumference of the earth at the equator Is 24.89K.6w2S miles But a knot or nautical mile equals this number of statute miles divided by 21,(00, which, performed and reduced to feet, gives 6,086.3, the legal statute mile be ing S.280 feat Thus, the fatal moment of impact the velocity of the ship was 26.51 legal or land miles per hour. Should have been five miles per hour In that region at this time of year. But a crime was committed in taking that course. Ought to have been 200 miles farther south. Q. I have a cistern ten fet wide at the bottom, seven at the top and nine high. Please tell how many barrels it holds? A. Five hundred and sixteen pubic feet; 3,800 gallons; seventy-seven and one-fifth barrels at fifty gallons each. Against the dictates of human reason there are several measures named barrels, so I select one in reason, fifty gallons. Q. I have a garden whose sides are In length 110, eighty fend four feet in length What part of an acre docs this triangle contain? A. 0-068 acre, or 2,528 square feet, as there are 43,060 sjuare feet in one acre. Q. What Is the density of the sun? A. til that Is 41 per cent greater than if the entire globe of the sun was com posed of water. Q.-What Is the lowest temperature known in the upper atmosphere? A. The lowest temperature yet foun4 In ths upper air is below zero, m degrees F at an altitude of twelve miles, and this over Central Africa. At an altitude of six and one-half miles, in different sta tions, cold ceased to increase, and sta tionary temperature ' or a slight rise of thermometer occurred. The highest sound ing balloon so far is 18.1 miles, and high est kite, 4.5 miles. It appears that at great heights some gas exists of g reat tenuity, and this name for It has been proposed, "geocoronlum," to correspond to the corona around the sun. At a height of eighteen miles the air Is 1-T6 as dense as at sea level. Q. At a moving picture show horso were drawing a carriage at a brisk trot 13 fe of LoirisXVI B, GREGORY. sembly. In the meantime the king was,, begging that he be permitted to continue' his Journey. Marie Antoinette, with all the witchery of her charming voice and personality, was at the same time be-r selglng the wife of the grocer-magistrate" to let them depart but Madame gausse's" only reply was: "You are thinking ,ot the king, I am thinking' of M. Sausse, each la for her own husband." In due time the royal party was wheeled about for Paris, and on the evening of the twenty-third was moving slowly down-, the boluevard leading to ths Tullerles.'J The crowds were enormous. The Na-v tlonal guards, lining the way, held their' Rrms reversed, and none of the on-, lookers uncovered. All marks of respect had disappeared. On every hand were seen the notice set up by the assembly, "Whoever cheers the king will be flogged; whoever Insults; hint will be hanged." A profound silence reigned over the crowd and midst that solemn hush the would-be fugitives en tered the Tullerles, the splendid doors closed behind them and all was over wlth,f them save the bloody finish on the plat form of ths guillotine. ' The next morning the national assem-' , bly declared that the king's powers wer 4 suspended. In other words Louis was de throned and the assembly was supreme' The attempt to run away from his people sealed the king's fate. All firmly!, believed (and the belief was probably" correct) that Louis had intended to eg-' cape to the emigrants and to make open , war on his country. The thought mad dened them and out of the madness grew, the possibility that such men as Mural ' and Robespierre, the creators of the an archy and blood of the "Terror." If the king had been a man of sense and courage he would have remained t; bis post to face the situation like a man , and had he done so, the chances are a thousand to one that he would have, died with his crown on his head, the, constitutional king of a happy and de voted country. in Science Part of the time the spokes of the wheels turned toward the horses all right, then A In th opposite direction, then forward again. How is this possible? A. The cause of this direct and revcrsa effect of motion of the spokes of a wheel In kinematographs Is the relative rates -of exposure of the photographio film in rapid motion to the spokes, also in mo tion. Differences and coincidences must . occur. The film moves at a set rate, but -a carriage drawn by horses has a varW able rate: Likewise wheels of an auto or locomotive. Suppose that exposures of the sensitive film are thirty times peis. second, steadily, and that the wheel brings spokes around In time for next ex-1? posure; wheel will advance; If not, will retrogade apparently.
