10 THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1913. 'he ,$ee' tjne tyac?a z. i ro ( The Saddest Word and the Gladdest Word-"Goodbye" and "Hello" Lz .6 I III " ... ;. " T7m: . t-- r. ."v WT. : 5 Nell Brinkley Says- I know lot of folks who won't say it that ddt word ' ' good-bye. " " Adieu," they say,. aad "addio," "farewell" and "w-lof," "uf Wiedersehen" and "aloha," "until the next time" and "be food" but not "good-bye." - tb? mrd "good-bye" the sun Mtaas dim. Birds droop &sd do not ting: The heart boats Blow and heavy and the temples ache and tighten. The blue sky films with gray. Fvery face that turns our way and passes on seems to hide tragedy. Everybody else in the world, seems like, is saying good-bye, too. And we watch them with tendered eyes since we are bidding someone farewell. After good-bye there is nothing to do, no place to go, no one to see. The world seoms .bigger and suddenly wiped bare of beauty. We are afraid! i But everybody will say "Hello!" They don't go hunting round ;for another word, any other word, so they can sort of slide by the plain, potent English. Under the short, keen, gladdest word, the sun and the sky are gold and blue. If it rains, why then we suddenly like rain. Under our tight jackets the heart beats high and fast and bursting big. Every face that turns our way seems like it had good news and blinds us. If, maybe, a sad one lifts out of the glad ones, we forget it soon. Because we are saying "Hello," And if there's a bird singihg; anywhere we hear it. There is so much to do, so much to see, so many folks to like. The world seems suddenly like a rose and "full," as sweet-tempered R. L. S. says, "of a number of things." And we are not afraid. The Song of Love By BEATMCE FAIRFAX. The moods of love are Ilka the wind: And none know when or why they riie. -COVKNTJIY PATMOIIE. How' writes some lover every day In the week, "can I telt It she loves meT' "He la very nice to me. and wants to be -with me every evening, hut he never says a word About love," writes aome distressed little girl. "How can I tell If he lovea met What are the signs of lover" They are aa varied and Interesting and pnctrt&ln as the signs of a storm or a fair day. and no one can describe - the symptoms In one man's case that will apply to the symptoms In another. Love Is not like the measles. "Love," rhymes rakenham Deatty, "comes to some with smiling eyes and comes with tears to some; for some love sines, and for some love slsbs, for some love's Uds are dumb." Two persons will stand before a won derful scene. One will burst Into exclama tions of pleasure and admiration, exhaust Ins vocabulary and growing almost maudlin In his attempt to express his de light. The other will stand dumb wtth awe at the miracle, yet 'no one may say that his admiration Is less than his noisy neighbor's. It la the same with love. Borne laugh from morning till night, and pass Into dreamland wtth smiles on their faces, and others seem almost paralysed through awa cf this great wonder that life has brought Ihent ' - A -there are others who will agree wHh, Jtota P. Brown, who wrote: "Tho plru c ekeM who are tormented by love's j4lel tears; above all. of 'that lover wfeo. C4e none to sympathise with him.' If tixee are any who Imagine that the jHmwtons and capacity of the heart suy be measured as one measures the capacity aad dimensions of a clsterm. let fete learn to the ccctrary from as great tea authority en love as Vane Corelii: , "jraefc and flcureV she writes, "can te a ftalR extent be relied on. but the fiMHwtfrg1 fcumws a4 vagaries of a man and woman. In love with each other are beyond the most precise calculations of the skilled mathematician. For It often happens that when they seem to be cold est, they are warmest and cases have been known where they have taken the greatest pains to avoid each other at a time when they have most deeply longed to be together." Sometimes with the perversity of the human heart, which no one can explain or account for, girls and boys assume their worst behavior, and are In their most unattractive moods, when In the presence of those they long to attract. It Is as If they put on a garment the seamy side out when the occasion calls for the finest apparel The girl who knows the man she loves abominates, slang will use more when he la present than on any other occasion. Men are rudest when gentleness Is the trait their lady-loves admire most. Bo one may not define this tender pas slon aa If It were aa tangible as a spring hat or a rock wall, nor attempt to de scribe It. The glorious characteristic of love and Its universal trait is that some where, somehow, It finds expression at last it may be strangely dumb In ths beginning, so dumb the little heart that waits for Its avowal begins to ache, but the dumbest love breaks silence at last, and when the time cvmts the joy more than compensate for the waiting. To be sura that It is love, the love for life, and not the llttla Imp which mas queradea aa lore, and which has Its prigin more In a fervid Imagination that In tha heart, apply to the sentiment that Is crowding every other emotion out of your being, .this' test poem by Elisabeth Barreet Browning; ( ' " Unless you- can think, when the song is dona. No other Is soft In the rhythm; Unless you can frel, when left by one. That all men else go with him; Unless you can know, when appraised by his breath. That your beauty itself wants proving : Unless you can swear, "for life, or for death!" -Oh, fear to call It loving. I The Heavens in September Br WM. P. RIGGE. Tha unevntfulneaa nf aavera.1 months past will be enlivened somewhat during the coming month by' two occurrences, which, however, to a pessimist wouia im rather to arrravate matters than to satiate our astronomical curiosity. The first of these Is a total eclipse of the moon on the morning of September U, which will be an' almost Identical repeti tion of the one of last March s, it will occur In the twill I ht near the time of sunrise and. will be visible only In the easten states. The annexd diagram win tell us the particulars. , Tha lnra-eat circle with Its cardinal points N IS 8 W is the earth's penumbra, tha smaller one concentric with It being tha umbra or shadow. The seven smallest clrclra ranreaent as many DOSltlona of the moon at Important moments. When the moon's center la at A at s:w a. m. central time, the moon enters penumbra. At B at 4: the moon enters shadow. At C at 6K1 the total ecllse begin. At D at C:48 there la a middle of the eclipse. At F at T: the total eclipse ends. At O at :H tha moon leaves shadow. And at 11 at :M the moon leaves penumbra. The digram must be held, with the point T on top. The magnitude of tho eclipse Is 1.43. That Is, If the moon had a diam eter U per cent larger It would just oe totally eclipsed. This ecupse win m unfortunate as the one of last March In occurring at the tlma of sunrise. In addi tion, the moon will set at K4. one minute before the sun rises and three minutes after becoming totally eclipsed, so that very Uttle of the eclipse will be seen. The second event referred to above Is an occultatlon. That Is, an ecllpos of the planet Venus, the bright morning star, by the moon on the Ulh. This will be visible In the north central states only. n unfnriunMtrtv will occur In the day. jtlme, with the moon very low In the laky. A telescope will be necessary to -jt v-:. E 1 Sj Vs. ) W Total Eclipse of Moon, September 15, 1018. see anything at all. and even th.la may be rendered useless by smoke, hase, dust or clouds. Omaha will just get a tilmpie of the occults tlotv at about rdi p. nv, an hour before the moon, sets and two hours and ten minutes , before the qun seta. The aim rises en the lit. Uth and 90th at 6:51, (-.OS and :,' aid sets at 6:57, (;S4 and ls$, thus making tha days' length thtrteen hours six minutes, twelve hours twenty-nine, minutes and eleven hours forty-nine minutes, a loss of one hour seventeen minutes during the month. This Is the greatest monthly Toss ol the whols -yeac Venus, is the brilliant star seen. In the east In the) morning twilight. It rises on the Uth at 3.07 a. m. Mars rises on the Uth at 11:17 p. m. and Baturn at 10:31 ?. m. Jupiter Is still the dominating ob ect In the evening sky. It crosses the rneridian. tit 7:3 p. m. on the Uth. The moon Is In last quarter on the 7th. full on the ltth, In last quarter on the Z3d and new on tho '23th. It la In conjunction with Jupiter on the fth, wtth Saturn on the Cd, with Mars on the 23d and with Venus ou the 27th. On the Uth it is totally eclipsed, aad on the 27th It Itself eclipses Veaus The Flow of Electrons By EDGAR LUCIEN LAR1UN. Q. "Will you kindly Inform me which Is the smaller, 'molecules' or electrons?" X. Blectrons are the smallest bodies known, If one can use the word bodies when speaking of them. TJiev possess tho fundamental property, 'of all - bodies known, Inertia. They are supposed to be composed entirely of electricity; and It BUnDoaed that nothlnir .elte exists. Could humans force them to 'He In a row this Is lmnosslble. since they repel then a row one Inch long would contain 12.700l0,000,000. An atom of hydrogen, the lightest knowp, possesses about 2,000 times greater inertia than that of one electron, and all molecules still more. nut note th s: Prof. O. W. Wchardeon, Palmer Physical laboratory, Princeton, N. ha lust made a classic demonstra tion well on. In suDreme and majestic Im port, wtth the ever memorable achieve ment of MUllkan of the University of . . ...I . Chicago in ms isolation ana wensiuns " one electron. Richardson experimented with a tungsten Incandescent lamp, the bcauiies,now appearing everywhere In ad vanced electric lighting. But the vacuum mode by him was much more nearly ab solute than any In commercial lamps. Doubtless he exhausted the air worn within the bulb to the extreme limit yet attained by the most consummate skill. If any air existed between the molecule of the tungaten filament, he removed that also by means of the cold liquid air and absorptive carbon. With this high vacuum surrounding tungsten, something new In science was .rt noaaibla. Would that Newton, Gil bert. FrankltB, Faraday could have wit nessed what followed. For wnen tno electricity was sent through the thin fila ment of tungsten, of course many mole cules were torn off, but the electrons that poured Into the vacuum were three times 11 greater than the mass of the tungsten evaporated off. Thus electrons were ac tually conveyed from the outside Into a vacuum. Mighty fact this. It Is now known that a current of electricity on a conductor Is a flow of electrons. No doubt thls'classlc discovery will greatly enhance all electrical science and engineering. And now all of the laboratories, will has ten to repeat the experiment. EAT MEAT SPARINGLY DURING SUMMER Meat heata the blood eat very little of It during hot weather. That doesn't mean that you have to sac rifice nourishing food because it is heating. You -will find Faust Spaghetti more nourishing than meat, and It Is also a light, cooling food.. By analysis you will find that a 10c package of Faust Spaghetti contains aa much nutrition as 4 lbs. of beef. It is a rich, glutinous food made from Durum Wheat, the cereul ex tremely high in protein. Faust Spaghetti can be served In many different ways write for free recipe book. Sold in 5c and lOo packages. MAULL- imOS. 8t, Louis, 5Io. Don't Wait for opportunity; create It for yourself by Judicious use of The Bee's advertising columns. 1
