V ' 11 o Wheeling, W. V., Nov. 12—(Special to Daily Democrat)—A net of circumstances and suspicion is being woven about a doctor and salesman in the mystery of the poisoning of John Schenck, the millionarie pork packer, of this city. Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenck, the millionaire’s wife, is locked up at the county Jaii here, charged with trying to kill her husband with poison. The prosecution believes' it would have been impossible for any one totally ignorant of the use of.drugs to have administered the arsenic in the scientific manner in which it was given to Schenck. Therefore suspicion fastens on a doctor. Seeking a motive for the crime the prosecution claims to have found it in a young man, well known in the high life of the city. — 1— NAHOLEON’S grit was of the unconquerable, nevqr-say-die kind, the kind that you need most when you have a bad cold, cough or lung disease.

Mr. Eltingham Will assume charge of the office November 27th. I Burt New, legal clerk to Governor Marshall, at the request of Thomas W. Brolley, statistician-elect, has taken up with J. L. Peetz, the retiring statis- ' tician, the question of the surrender ' of the office, arid it was decided that 1 the place would be turned over forI mally to Mr. Brolley on November 21, 1 although it is probably that Mr. Brolley’s full quota of deputies and clerks will not be at work until several days later. It is understood that Mr. Pettz will be retained in the office in order that be may complete his biennial report, due in a short time. Mr. Peetz has written to Mr. Brolley, who has returned to his home In North Vernon, ' assuring him of his assistance in starting him in the work of the office. A new canddate for the clerkship of , the bureau of public printing and binding has appeared in the person, of Charles Cole, a printer. He is being opposed.by Everett McGinnis, clerk of the state board of elections this year, who is also a printer. C. E. McKee, secretary of Indianapolis Typographical union, No. 1, is .also a candidate so rthe place. . ’ Demarchug C.Brown, state librarian, is in the midst pt. his biennial task of trying to please ISO legislators in the matter of seats. Several candidate •wrote Mr. •Brpvvn -bptore the election for reservation in the event of election and many reservations which were made have been erased since Tuesday. Mr. Brown has seated seventy-one members of the house and ten members of the senate, in addition to the twenty-four holdovers, whose seats have been changed because of the reversal of the senate majority from republican to democratic. The democrats in each house will get the outside seats, those next to the sunlight. In the house the majority is so big that virtually all the eight full rows of seats will be necessary to seat the members. Assistant Superintendent Adkins of the statehouse,, has called the force of janitors up for a review of the situation, and has given them to understand that they must not think that because they are going to lose their jobs they cfiri loaf for the remainder of the time they are on the state pay roll. “We expect even better work from now on than we have had in the past,” he told them. “If we find any one lying down on his job’ he will be fired, and it will be a mighty hard thing for him to get a recommendation from this office.”—lndianapolis News. o— ——. THE CONSERVATION OF NAURE’S RESOURCES Applies as well to our physical state as to material things. C. J. Budlong, Washington, R. 1., realized this condition, and took warning before it was too late. He says: “I suffered severely from kidney trouble, the disease being hereditary in our family. I have taken four bottles of Foley’s Kidney Remedy, and now consider myself thoroughly cured.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov .12—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The work of canvassing the official vote cast at last Tuesday’s election is now in progress in the. governor’s office |n charge of Secretary of State Sims. At the close of yesterday’s work thirty-fire counties had been officially tabulated and twenty-one others had sent in their complete returns. The work was taken up again the first thing this morning and will be contihuned tonight until all returns in hand are tabulated. It is not expected that all counties will have been heard from by that time, and the official totals will probably be delayed until Monday or Tuesday. While this count is going on the democratic workers and leaders are flocking to Indianapolis with their eyes on appointments in the state offices and the next general assembly. Governor Marshall's rooms have been thronged with enthusiastic democrats who have called to offer their congratulations and to speak a word in behalf of aspiring friends. Chief among the topics of discussion in Indianapolis is the organization of the next house of representatives. Many candidates for the speakership have sprung up and their friends are actively urging their claim. For the first time in several years both branches of the legislature will be controlled by the democrats, with a democratic governor to approve or veto the measures passed by 'this assembly. Governor Marshall and the other leaders realize the responsibility which is thus put upon them and will do their best to build a good foundtation for the winter’s work by seeing that the house is capably and efficiently organized. Governor Marshall is telling his callers that since the people of Indiana have responded to the call of democracy, that it is up to the party to get down to brass tacks and make good. This and this alone,Hhe leaden argree, is the course to pursue. j -o : COMING TH 18 WAY, Business Men Warned to Watch For Worthless Money Orders.

SOME FIFTH CENTURY JOKES The Absentminded Profeeeer Was a Prolifie Bourcs ©f Merriment to the Jesters of Those Daye—Ths Source of Many Modem Jokes. * The maxim that there is nothing new under the sun applies, it would seem, more truly to jokes and witticisms than to anything else. The chief differences between the Jests of one generation and that of another lie mainly in their form. The kernel is practically the same. Nevertheless It is interesting to exhume some of these ancient jokes and to recognize in them the ancestors of the things at which we laugh today in the pages of our humorous publications. Some humorous writers dearly love to make fun of the absentminded, unpractical university professor, who outside, of his own subject lets his wits wander and is very slow to grasp anything in ordinary life. Such Jokes as these were cracked centuries ago by the students and graduates of the great universities in ancient Greece, for it Is a mistake to suppose that what wo now call "college life” was unknown to the ancients. As a matter of fact, the student at the University of Athens or at the University of Alexandria was very much the same sort of mortal as is the student today, and his professors were not so very different. A witty Greek named Hierocles, a graduate of Alexandria, collected some time in the fifth century a volume of jests which were current among the students with regard to the woolgathering type of professor. A number Os them are translated here as being of considerable interest tn the history of humor and especially of college hdmor: A professor, wishing to swim, was nearly drowned, whereupon he swore that be would never touch water again until he had learned how to swim. Os twin brothers, one died. A professor thereupon, meeting the survivor, asked, “Is it you that died or your brother?" A professor, learning that a raven would live for more than 200 years, bought one to test the matter. A professor, wishing to cross a river, went on board the boat On horseback. When some one asked the reason he answered that be wanted to get over in a hurry. A professor, looking out of the window of a house which he bad bought asked the passersby whether the house was becoming to him. > A professor, meeting another prosaid. “I heard you were dead.” “And yet" replied the other, “you see that I am still alive." “Well," said the first in perplexity, “I don’t know what to believe, for the man who told me about it is a much more truthful man than you!” A professor, to danger of being shipwrecked, called for bls tablets that he might make ibis will. Seeing thereupon bis slaves Jamgjrtlng their ftfte* he said. “Do not grieve, for I am going to Bet you free." A professor dreamed that be had trodden on a nail and that the wound pained him. On waking be bound up ids foot Another professor, having learned the cause, remarked. “It served you right for why de you sleep without sandals ?’ A professor, meeting a doctor, hid himself behind a wall.

This is a mistake. The I appearance of the world at large Is merely the result of the circumstance that the human eye perceives only a 1 comparatively small part of the total 1 radiation which comes from the sun ' or is given out by a lamp. To make this a little clearer we may ‘ consider one of the oldest experiments in optics, the passage of a ray of light through a prism. * When a beam of sunlight passes ' through a prism of glass such »s is ' I often found on old fashioned chande--1 Ilers the rays are spread out. forming * a spectrum, which we see as a rain--1 bow colored band upon the wall. The ' colors of the spectrum merge Into one ' another by Insensible gradations, though the older physicists were in : the habit of recognizing seven—red, 1 orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet These colors which the eye perceives ' are by no means the only ones present ' in the we perform the 1 experiment to a dark room and place 1 a photographic plate to such a position as to receive the Image of the spectrum we find that it extends to a con- ; siderable distance beyond the violet In other words, there is a region beyond the violet which the eye cannot ; see. but which the sensitive plate is able to photograph. This region is termed the ultra violeL and the light from virtually all sources contains a greater or less amount of this ultra violet light. The only difference between thia ub ' tra violet light and ordinary visible light to in the length of the wave, which is, in fact, the only difference between the different colors of the visible spectrum. If, Instead of using a glass prism for forming our spectrum. we use one cut from a quarts crystal we find that the ultra violet spectrum to very much longer, which shows us that the shortest waves of light are not transmitted even by the clearest glass. .££>3 If your eyes were sensitive to tikis region of the spectrum instead of to the other the appearance of things would appear black, our windows would be as opaque as sheets of iron, and polished silver would resemble anthracite coal. In other words, things appear as they do merely from the circumstance that in the process of evolution our eyes have developed a sensibility to a certain region of the total spectrum of the light which comes to us from the sun If we have used an ordinary photographic plate in our experiment we shall find that it has received no impression from the red and yellow parts of the spectrum and very little from the green.' The plate therefore suffers from the same defect as our eye. It to sensitive only to a limited region. Recently, however, means have been found of rendering plates sensitive to the entire visible spectrum and to a certain extent to the infra red or the extension beyond the red analogous to the one beyond the violet With e photographic plate rendered sensitive to the entire spectrum we could obtain an idea of how things would appear if our eyes were sensitive to regions other than the one adopted by nature by excluding from the tens of the camera all rays other than the ones with which we wish to operate. This is done to a limited extent every day by ail photographers who employ color screens in their I work, and it to well known that increased contrast can often be obtained in this way. If, for example, we attempt to photograph white clouds against a bluesky without the use of such a screen we get scarcely any trace of the* clouds at all. whereas if we place a yellow glass tn front of the lens the clouds come out snow white on a veey dark background. We can see this same effect by viewing the clouds first through a piece of deep bine glass, which to what the photographic plate “sees,” and then through the yellow plate. At my laboratory at East Hampton, N. T-. I have pushed this prteeiple to the extreme and have obtained photographs both by the infra sei and the ultra violet Invisible rays.-Robert William Wood In Century.
