Device That Measure* Temperature of Moon Modern observatories ure equipped with insirunionts whereby the temper- ( aturo of Hie moon can be measured. The temperature of the moon depend* i upon the amount of heat it receives, the amount It reflects, and Its rate of I radiation. It Is easy to measure with some approximation the amount of heat the earth receives from the moon, i but It Is not easy to determine what part Is reflected and what part radiated. When the moon passes Into the earth's shadow so that the direct rays .of the sun are cut off, then till the heat received from the moon Is that radiated and this cun h<* measured, ami from the amount received and the rate at which it decreases as the eclipse continues, It Is possible to determine approximately the rate at which the moon loses heat by radiation, and from this the temperature to which It has been raised. Observations show that the amount of heat received from the moon diminishes very rapidly after it passes into the earth's shadow. This indicates that its radiation Is very rapid.

Short “Sob Story” of Two-Wheeled Tragedy The flames shot upward; the smoke curled in clouds around the doomed building. Suddenly a young woman rushed up to one of the firemen. “Ob.” she cried, “save it for me-1 ' Save it!" She pointed to a second floor will-. , dow, and without a word the tireman I rushed to do her bidding. "How old was it?” asked one of the bystanders. "Only a month!" sobbed the woman. "And look !”•—as the figure of the fireman could be seen coming down the ladder again. “He has failed! He's coming back without it! Ob, what shall I do?” The fireman approached. "I'm sorry,” he said, “but 1 could find no child." "Child?’ cried the woman. “1 said nothing about a child!” "Then—what was it?” they asked her. “It was my b-b bicycle!” she sobbed. “I'd only had It a month—on the installment plan, too!” —London TitBits. If They Had to Try It I am tired of hearing-our clever young men and girls say they would rather be living in the Eighteenth century. Like children, they imagine they would all have been tine ladies and gentlemen, Horace Walpoles and the like. It is more likely they would have been Spitalfields weavers, grenadiers with the lash waiting for them, footmen and maids slet-ping in dark holes, ragged and starved ushers,some of Squire Western's oafs and slatterns. A day of what was ordinary life to the average man or woman in the Eighteenth century would probably reduce them to screaming Imbecility. No, we move on, in spite of all our stupid people—and our clever people.—London Saturday Review.

Wizard of the Wires "Almost every man can find work if he uses his brains,” asserted one who had traveled a good deal —“that is, if he lias the ability to adapt himself, like the piano tuner I once met in the west of America. “‘Why,’ I said to him. for we were in a wild, unsettled country, 'surely piano tuning can’t be very lucrative here? I couldn’t imagine that pianos were very plentiful in this region.’ “ ‘No. they’re not,’ said the piano tuner, ‘but I make a pretty fair income by tightening up barbed-wire fences!’ ” —London Answers. Correct A teacher in one of the fashionable Westchester schools In ordinary routine requested that the children put on a card certain information which included the occupation of the father. This particular tliirteen-year-old boy put down "Expressman,” which caused a question on the part of the mentor because of the general type of children who went to the school. Taking it up further it was found that this particular lad was the son of the president of the American Express company.—Forbes Magazine. Indian Relics in Germany Europe's finest collection of material on the North American Indian is said to be that at Radebeul, Germany, near Dresden. It is, a replica of a block house beside the home where lived Karl May, European writer of blood-and-thunder Wild West thrillers, says the Living Age. But, the magazine declares, the bulk of the collection of arrows, headdresses, etc., was brought to Europe by Patty a Viennese who toured America with Buffalo Bill and other showmen as an ■ acrobat.

MANAGER NAMED Bluffton, July 27. — Ben Levy, of • Fort Wayne, has been appointed manager of the Studabaker Grain & Seed < company, in this city, tilling the va- I cancy created by Ihe absence of Claude C. Cole, who disappeared from his home here on July 4 ami has not been seen since that time. Mr. Levy has operated a string of grain ele- < vators in the vicincity of Fort Wayne for the last 22 years and owned one ' at Ossian for 18 years o < Obituary Samantha Jane McConnehe.v was born near Sandusky, Ohio, August 16, 1860. In early childhood she moved with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. David , McConnehey, to Decatur, Ipd., where . she grew to womanhood. She taught I, school and took active part in the! social life in and around Decatur. In the year of 1885 she was m trried to Justion E. Mann and they camel to his homestead in Stevens county,! Kansas. Thera were eight children' born to this union, five of whom are still living. In 1911 they moved to Liberal, where they finished educating their family. They both took active part in all social and beneficial enterprises for Liberal and the surrounding community until the year of 1318. when Mr. Mann had the flu and it left him an invalid, and Mrs. Mann gave «o him all of her time and attention until his death on July 27, 1927. The latter part of 1927 she went J to California to visit her daughter I and many old friends who had moved out there, returning home in the late spring of 1928. She spent the rest of the year in Liberal, again taking active part in social activities. In February of 1929 she went with her children to Kansas City, Missouri where she attended the automobile show with them. After they returned home she remained a few days, visiting. leaving Kansas City she went to Ohio and Michigan to visit her sister and her husband's two sisters, after whih she went to her old home at Decatur, Indiana. It was while she was at Decatur that she took ill and wired for one ! of her sons to come to be with her on the way home. They arrived j home on Thursday night, Mary 23rd. i She felt good on Friday, but took I bedfast that night and grew worse j for two weeks, after which she ral-1 lied and was apparently on the road j to recovery when she suddenly be- 1 came worse and it was her desire to have an oeration which was the only. chance for her recovery. The illness which finally claimed her has caused her suffering for the ■past fifteen years, but she never j complained of her ailments. The patience and kindness she I possessed was shown by the loving. deeds she was always doing for others, never stopping to administer to I her own ailments. These outstand-' ing qualities of her character could' be seen by her loved ones to the end | when she was still thinking of their' comfort.

With the wave of her hand to those left behind- she passed away Tuesday,' July 16, 1929, just as the whistle was proclaiming the noon hour. It wa t | her often expressed wish that her i loved ones not mourn for her as she; was ready to go to meet those who ■ had zone on before. She leaves behind to cherish her i sacred memory, three sons and two i daughters and their families; Marion C. and Carrie Mann, Burton D. and i Hazel Mann, Ida Mae and Ralph I Sessler, Gladys V. and William Knis-1 ely, and Frank M. and Pearl Maun, eleven grandchildren, one sister and, two brothers, besides many other | relatives and unnumbered friends. o TWO DECATUR MEN HELD AS GANG MEMBERS (CONTINUEP FHiiM PAGE many sets of tools and other automobile equipment were found in th" abandoned cars. It is thought that the alleged theft ring takes the cars, brings them to near Decatur and strips them of all valuable equipment. Officials are making an effort to learn where the men sell their equipment. It is thought that they have an avenue of disposal at Fort Wayne and also one some place in Ohio. Local Officers at Paulding Sheriff Harl Hollingsworth, Chief Melchi and State Policeman Ayers are in Paulding today conferring with Ohio officials in an effort to complete the solution. Mr. Ayers is investigating the possibility that the Smiths may know something concerning a batik robbery at Gas City, Grant county, a few weeks ago. The ear, used in the Gas City robbery was wrecked near Eaton. Indiana. and a set of automobile licenses. stolen from an automobile belonging to W. H. Pennington, of Decatur, was found in the rear sqjit. Ayers is working on the theory that someone in Decatur stole the license plates and either was directly connected with the bank robbery or else sold the stolen plates to the robbers. Federal Charge Probable Inasmuch aa th® alleged thefts involve Indiana; Illinois, Ohio and Michigan, it is thought that the al-

h'ged theft ring will he prosecuted ' under ut'ederal charge of interstate 1 transportation of stolen cars. ( If this course is followed, il Is thought likely that the men in jail at Homewood will first be returned to Decatur and then in ail probabil- ' sty they will be taken to Paulding. It was not learned definitely whether the partial coufessions Implicated others, but lot al offidals say that several local men, who are known to have accompanied the Smiths on trips into Michigan and 'Ditto will be Questioned today. Car Stolen Wednesday The Chevrolet sedan in which Roy , and Ora Smith were riding at Homewood when they Were arrested yesterday was stolen last Wednesday from the main street of Paulding. Evidenty, it wus driven to Decatur Wednesday night ami the men then drove i into Illinois Thursday. Officers at Homewood said they lie came suspicious of the Smiths and ■ stopped them to question them. Wlu't: I
