RIGHT UNDER OLD SOL '
They Were In Blazing Sunlight, Yet
Cast No Shadow*.
Every one knows that when a per
son stands in the full sunshine his
body casts a shadow which will be
either short or long, according as the
sun Is high In the heavens or near
the horizon at sunrise or sunset. A
little thought will bring it home to the
reader that, obviously, if the sun is
exactly vertical over a person’s head,
there can be no shadow.
But the problem is to determine when
and where this shall be the state of
things. As regards the “where,” that
must evidently be at some place on
the eartli In the tropics, and the
“when” must be the hour of midday.
To get these two tilings to concur by
prearrangement is a matter of no
small difficulty.
But as a matter of fact they did
concur on a day in February, 1913—
namely, the 13th, when a scientist W.
B. Gibbs, was in midocean in latitude
15 degrees south, the sun’s declination
being also about 15 degrees south.
A photo, reproduced in the London
Strand, represents Gibbs and another
man standing bolt upright on the
deck facing one another, and clearly
shows the absence of any sign of a
lateral shadow—in other words, it
proves that the ship was in such a
latitude that the sun was vertically
overhead and that the time was noon.
When the sun was at its highest alti
tude m between east and west.—Ex
change.
SAVE YOUR APPENDIX.
This Mysterious Organ May Prove to
Be a Valuable Gland.
The appendix is not a useless organ
undergoing degeneration, as has been
hitherto supposed, but is a valuable
gland, and persons should think twice
before having it removed. This is a
part of a report presented to the
French Academy of Sciences by Dr.
Perrier.
Another wen Known i-rencrj scien
tist, tlie late Dr. Lucas-Championnere,
warned the medical world some years
ago that the appendix probably was
undeserving oC present day contempt,
yet he was unable to establish the
possible function of this small and
mysterious organ.
Dr. Perrier’s report is based upon
studies made by Dr. Robinson. The
latter collected the mucous secretions
from a large number of appendixes re
moved at the hospitals and prepared
a serum which, on being injected into
animals, was found to stimulate the
contractile movements of the intes
tines. Dr. Robinson, therefore, was
convinced that the appendix cannot be
cut out without seriously interfering
with intestinal action, although he
recognizes the necessity of operating
when the gland is gangrenous or oth
wise diseased.—Paris Cor. New York
Sun.
Making a Present.
,f Lady Jersey was in her time one of
the leaders of fashion, and her house
was the resort of politicians and oth
ers. With her lived her daughter,
Lady Clementine Villiers, a handsome
and clever girl. The custom had been
established that all friends should give
the latter a present on her birthday,
and these presents were set out in an
antechamber. Among these friends
was Lord Brougham, theu an old man.
He called on a birthday, but had for
gotten what the occasion was, and had
brought no present. Seeing a mass ot
presents laid out, he seized one of
them and took it in as his present,
rightly counting that the young lady
would not remember that it was one
that already had been given to her.
And very proud he was of his pres
ence of mind. But, then, he was an
ex-lord chancellor.—London Truth.
“Occult" Information.
A. Henry Savage Laudor may deny
on geological grounds the existence of
any “lost Atlantis.” hut there are
among the theosophical and other oc
cult fraternities people who will cheer
fully draw you a map of the vanished
land and give you a description of its
people, their manners and customs.
The information is obtained by va
rious mystical methods—“revelations,”
clairvoyance, etc. Some years ago It
was discovered by similar “occult”
means that at the north pole itself the
temperature was so mild that a "green
Island” existed there—a kind of arctic
arcady. It was all very interesting
until Peary, the explorer, came on the
scene and—but cold fact is always so
unromantic!—London Chronicle.
Conscientious About It.
“Mr. Olizznrd," asked the caller, "are
you carrying all the life Insurance you
can afford?”
“No.” answered the man at the desk;
T can afford more, and 1 had expected
to take out more. Lmt from a note l got
from my employer this morning I have
begun to suspect that I’m carrying a
good deal more than I am worth.”—
Chicago Tribune.
Fashion Note.
“So you’ve decided not to get that
new gown that you had ordered from
your dressmaker?”
“Yes; she’s so busy that she couldn't
have it done for at least three weeks,
and by that time It would be out of
style.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
Family Affair.
She—Are they happy together? He
—Well, he stays in every evening. She
—Then they must be. He—But she
goes out.—Judge.

vices ns light makes nil objects appar
