Then the development films can be measured with an ordinary microscope at leisure with the astonish ing result that the distances traversed In the thirty-sixth part, of a second can bo measured with, the oxtremq 'trccur ary 'of modem measurement." Vor'-slnco man came on earth no device has yet .been made that surpasses this combina tion of ultra-ultra-vlolet-energy-wave mlcrecope. and the mighty science of rapid photography of fjylng particles. The literature of this new science is now enormous and is attracting the at tention of scientific men everywhere. Often have I published articles on theso mysterious Brownlan motions, but now the entire science Is quintupled In its magnificence. Set a solution aslilo during a year, carefully take out a drop, placo In a cell, look, behold, the perpetual motion Is still thero In Intense activity. Divide any substance known Into particles, small enough not to settle and tho solu tion will always reveal this most wonder ful motion.

Tho entire prob lem of ltlnetla energy of matter now seems to be in a fair way toward ex perimental solution. A greater eye than tho microscope, however, has already peered into these doeps profound the all-eeclng eye the calculus. The fjylng particles of elec trically' blown silver and platinum do not differ greatly from those of .gold in diameters, free-paths and specific speed. Beyond all doubt the causo of the Brownlan motions is klnetlo energy, the forco that makes all matter movo Inces santly from electrons up. and un to mni.. cules. Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX l-et the .Next Dispute Eua Xt. Dear Miss Fairfax: t am 20 and am vDry rnuch in love with a young lady of is. We have been engaged fornearly one year. She and I both have a very high temper and are very Independent, which causes us to disagree and fuss and burst up for a short Ime only.. Now. I think the world and all of this young lady, and ofttlmes try to give her' advlco In the right direction, as I think, because she Is young and has never had the ex perience of love. For the love I have for her I have stuck to her through all anger and tears. Now our engagement has been put off ;5f S?!.d once on account of (I tmnk) this girl being the main support LheT.am".!! wd ,her mother persuaded her out of tho notion, telling her to put L.2" a.wh,1 'onger; and then, when we naa a little disagreement a few weeks ago, I quietly left her, hut did 'nbt tell her that I would not be back, thinking that perhaps she would let me hear from her the next day. as she usually calls me over the 'phone; but, on account of her Independence, she failed to call me. Finally, her conscience made her speak to me, so she called me over the 'phone and told me she was in the wrong and wanted us to try It once more, which, of course. I gladly accepted and went back. Would you go on with the young lady and continue my love and affection for her, and in the wind-up get married on the day she wishes, after she has al ready been the cause of two broken en gagements? TKOV13L.ED. Tour very mature rn? of questioning the girl's goo4 sense' is amusing. You say she is 18 and too young to know bet ter; and you are only SO! Moreover, I don't like your compla cency.

The World's on Top By GARRETT P. 8ERVISS. y The gigantic telescopo that the Carne gie Solar observatory is to possess on the summit of Mount Wilson In California will be by far the moBt powerful Instru ment of observa tion that man has ever turned upon the heavens. It will be even a greater advance In Its lino than the mighty Jmperntor Is among steamships. A year or two ago It looked as if It might prove impos sible to construct this Immense in strument, because the disk of glass, made n Franco, to be shaped Into a concave mirror at Pasa dena, exhibited bubbles and Imperfections which, it was feared, would Interfere with its usefulness. But further examination indicates that the difficulties may be avoided and the work of grinding and polishing Is going forward. This telescope will hayo a clear "aper ture" of 100 Inches, or eight feet four inches. By aperture is meant the diam eter of the round glass as it is exposed to the stars. There are two kinds of telescopes ''reflectors," which have a concave pa rabolic mirror to catch the rays of light and bring them to a focus, and "refrac tors," which possess, Instead of a reflect ing mirror," a compound lens, called the "object-glass," which brings the rays of light, to a focus on the side away from the object under -examination. In using a .refjeetor ,the observer, so. to .speak, turns his back upon ihe heavens, whlht with- tha refractor, he looks .directly through the telescope toward the object In the sky'. In both cases what ho really see's is an image of the object formed by. the rays of ijght In-the focus, and he magnifies the image with a kind -of mi croscope, called the "eye-niece." The Iiew giant, as already Indicated, Is to be a reflector. Both kinds of tele scope have thfcjr peculiar advantages, but the reflector Is superior' in astro nomical photography. In the picture accompanying-(his article yvi will find a graphic representation of six of. the greatest telescopeSynaw In .ex istence, compared in Blse wth,)be new telescope for Carnegio Solar observatory, Three of tho telescopes "shown, with their names. and' apertures: attached.) are refr&clors. as, is Jndlca.ted by their Jon xneicuiq mucs. -iney carry wieir oujeci glgsses at the upper end of the tube. The fourth and largest closed tuba Is that ot the great Lord ltoss telescope in Ireland, whlrh was made In the middle of the, nineteenth century, and was long the wonder of the astronomical world. It. however, Is not a refractor, but a re flector, the maker having chosen to give OMAHA, TUESDAY, JULY Mightiest Telescope That Is to Stand of Mount Wilson, and Others Tho Great Telescopes of tho World. It a closed tube, which has now been found to be unnecessary. Two of the others (or three, Including tho unfinished giant) liavo openwork tubes. These, aro all reflectors. Now, In order that tho reader may get on Idea of the relative power Implied by the different apertures hown, It is necessary to Bay .that . that Is measured by the amount of light that the lenB or the mirror "grasps." This would appear from a mere inspection of the compara tive sizes. It depends upon the square of the aperture. Thus, It will bo seen that the new telescope Is 100 Inches- lo. aperture, while the Rosse telescope, the next In size, has an aperture of seventy two Inches. But to measure tho rool superiority of the new Instrument we must compare the squares of these num. bers. Tho square of 100 Is 10,000, and that of seventy-two In only C.1S). So we see that the one Is very nearly double the other. But this does not tell the whole story. Tho Rosse telescopo . has a very imper fect mirror, made of a special material called speculum metal, w.ilch Is far In ferior for the purpose to glass covered with a reflecting film. On this account the effective superiority of the new In' strument will be much greater than a comparison of the squares of tho respec tive apertures indicates. Tho new- giant will, on the same prin ciple, -be six-and a quarter times more powerful than the great Yerkes tele The Constitution By REV, THOMAS B. GREGORY .It was -101 years. ago-rJuly 12. Jil2 that the . Constitution sailed out of Boston harbor to, begin the. immortal fight 'for "Free Trade and Sailors' Rights,? It was In tho Bay of Fundy, down' In the Land of Evangeline, that It began Its actaol work by capturing several British ves sels bound for Que bec and Montreal, an,d on July 12 It bad its famous encounter with the Guerriere .off the -Grand , Banks of Newfoundland. The Cnnitltutlbn nut Its shot so effectively that Inside of half an hdur the duerrlere was a helpless wre'cK ' Captain Hull sent an. officer to ask If the Ouerrlere -had surrendered. "I do not know as It would be prudent to con tinue the engagement any longer," re plied Captain Dacres. "Do I understand you to say that you have struck?" asked the American- "Not precisely, but I don't think that It will be worth while 29, 1013. azine Drawn for . scope, the largest refractor now In exist ence, and about two and three-quarter tlmetf more powerful than the five-foot reflector already In action on Mount Wil son. One naturally wonders what this tele' scoplc moneter will reveal, In tho heavens. I observe that It has been said that It will Bhow "objects of tno size of a nan" on the moon. But this statement must be taken with a grain of allowance If t were. not for atmospheric difficulties, which we know at present no means ot avoiding, a 100-Inch tolescope might bear a magnifying power of 10,090 diameters, which would bring the moon within an apparent distance of only a little more than twenty miles when It Is actually noareBt to the earth. In fact, however, It Is doubtful if such tC power will ever be employed, and if employed It would not give a distinct Image. But the Immense amount of light gath ered by tho great mirror will make much lower magnifying powers far more ef fective than hitherto, and most Interest ing discoveries- may confidently be ex pected from this cause. Its principal use, however, will bo In photographing, on an unprecedented scale, the great nebulous clouds and streams and clusters pf stars that abound In the universe, and here Its superiority will be so commanding that the man will almost seem to have pro vided himself with a new and marvellous eye for surveying the Illimitable wonders of space. and the Guerriere to flgnt any longer," ' If you cannot de cide I will return and we will resume the engagement," replied the Yankee. "Why, I am pretty much hors de combat already," said Dacres. "I haye hardly men left to work a gun, and my ship Is in a sinking condition." "I wish to know, sir," demanded tho American, "whether we are to consider you a prisoner, pf war or an enemy, I have no time for further parley." "I believe there is no alternative," answered Dacres. "If I could fight longer, I would do It with pleasure. I must sur render myself a prlsoper of war," The Constitution's next fight woe with the Java, off the coast of Brazil, In De cember, Uli The Java was pounded Into pulp, and after its crew was taken aboard the victor the wreck was "blown up. Upon returning with thai news of Its victories, tho Constitution was chris tened "Old Ironsides," the name by which ' It has ever since been proudly remembered, After repairs. Old Iron sides sailed for the Barbadoes, where It made several captures, and on February If, IBIS, off Cape St. Vincent, it met two British vessels, the Cayne and Levant, and made prizes of them both. It was the gallant ship's last engagement, as peace had already been concluded. d mm 4 The Bee by George McM&nus i The Discontented Girls By KLLA WHKKLKR WILCOX (Copyright, 1013. by American- Journol Uxamlncr.)

She might be, If at any time in the months you have been keeping company with her you had ever made that statement And that is, "I lovo you." Tell her that, and I am sure you wll "obtain her interest." Tell her that you leva her, nnd I will vouch for It that you will find yourself talking to the most Interested listener you ever had In your life, whether that life be long or short. Tell her you love her, and while she hears she will not know thero are others on the planet besides you two. Tell hor that, and you aro telling her something that will win her Interest In you for the balance of your life. If you were a woman, you would have known long ago why she ha looked bored when you have speculated If worms or bugs mako tho best fishing bait, It was because she did not know that you had an inUrest in her greater than Jn our subject.
