MACHINE CANDIDATE.
Telegraphic communications
from Washington state that the
appointmen of Edward W. Ex
um to the marshj&lship of the
Third Judicial District has been
blokced in the United States Sen
ate owing to a number of char
ges against his morals, and it is j
not likely that he will be confir
med.
The following is an extract
from the item as it appeared in
yesterday morning’s Times:
“Exum’s appointment was not
secured through the influence of
National Committeeman Cheney.”
This statement of the Times is
either a deliberate or ignorant
falsehood, as it is a well known
fact that Exum was Jennings’
right hand man in the Chitina
section, and was pushed for the
office both by Jennings and Chen
ey.
The fact that he lias coducted
or owned a number of houses of
ill-repute cut no ice with the Na
tional committeeman in liis
choice, as the latter has with hut
about two exceptions endorsed
only men with either emir! or
shady records. Exum is as well
fitted as a number of their < llier
candidates, some of whom were
sucessful, but that isn't saying
much for Exum.
Before Cheney and the rest of |
the clique eel through with the j
territory, the Si It.I gang, of
former years, will "appear like a
bunch of Sunday school teachers.

GLASS AND LIGHT.
Why It Is That We Are Able to See
Through a Window.
It is not until the question is
asked “Why is glass transparent?”
that we find, ourselves suddenly re
alizing how difficult this simple mat
ter is. We take it for granted that
light will pass through glass and
that, for example, it will not pass
through wood. Yet certain light,
such as the X ray light, for instance,
will pass through wood and will not
pass through glass. A pair of heavy
lead glass spectacles transparent
enough to allow the wearer to read
with ease will absolutely blot out
the light of a powerful X ray tube,
which possesses the power of pass
ing readily through a score of sub
stances not transparent to ordi
nary light. Now, supposing the
out of doors were lighted by an
X ray apparatus instead of the sun,
the walls of a frame house would
trasmit the light and the windows
would be the only spot that would
be dark.
One of the principal reasons why
we can see through a window is
that crystal structure has been pre
vented in the making of glass. The
materials of which glass are made,
such as sand and flmt and potash,
are not transparent, and it is only
by combining them in certain pro
portions that the light passing con
dition is produced. It is this com
bination that makes glass clear. If,
however, little bubbles of air get in
the glass they break its clearness,
in the same way that bubbles of gas
(as in bubbling water) make it
difficult for light to pass. The best
example of this is white of egg,
which is almost transparent, but
which can he beaten to a froth by
whipping, imprisoning air bubbles
so that it becomes quite opaque to
the light. The light falling upon
the unbeaten white of egg finds a
structure quite simple in character,
tjut after it is beaten the struc
ture is a mass of globular air bub
bles, and these round bubbles divert
the light rays and will not let them
pass through.
Ordinary light pays very little re
gard to the density of the substance
through which it is to pass. Thus
a heavy lead glass is more transpar
ent than a piece of oiled tissue pa
per, and by a curious condition of
things the oiled paper—though its
pores are clogged with the oil—is
more translucent to light than is
the paper which is not oiled. The
reason of this is not unlike that of
the glass. The power of the fibers of
the paper to scatter the rays of
light is lessened by the more uni
form character of the oil, which
passes the beams through. Our
houses would be dark indeed but for
this ability of glass to “let a little
sunshine in,” but there is yet a great
deal to find out about the way the
light waves wriggle their way un
checked through the dense sub
stance of a window pane. — Ex

Maxims For a King.
In the royal palace at Potsdam
there is a very beautiful tablecloth,
curiously embroidered and brought
into careful occasional use. It was
presented to the Emperor William
by the women of Schleswig-Hol
stein. The tablecloth is entirely
worked over with stitchery, which
must have called for an infinity of
patience and skill in its production.
The stitching shows, in Teutonic
lettering, a number of moral max
ims. Here is the English equiva-/
lent of some of the royal legends on
linen:
“Do not believe all you "hear; do
not tell all you know; do not do all
you would like.”
“Contentment is a rare art.”
“First weigh, then consider, then
dare.”
“Wilt thou here have spass (fun),
be careful with the glass.”
Cartful About Breathing.
Breathing exercises are beneficial
to persons who get little exercise,
but it is not best to take them early
in the morning. After six or eight
hours of sleep the circulation and
body activities are slow. It takes
two or three hours at least for the
body to regain its normal Tate of
action. Now, if a person spends ten
minutes in breathing exercises he is
giving his system that much more
work getting started. It takeB his
body longer to get into shape for
die day’s work and leaves it in a
poorer condition to do that work.
If you need exercise take it after
your body has been in running or
der several hours.—Kansas Indus
trialist.
Her Brother’s Sister.
A little girl of 6even was out hav
ing tea with a friend when a lady
visitor called and took some notice
of her.
“And have you any little sisters
at home,” the lady asked.
“No,” answered the child and
after a moment added thoughtfully,
“but I have two brothers at home,
and they hare a sister, and I’m it.”
