Declares Matinee Idol Is Memory of the Past “Yes,” said the old actor reminiscently, “the matinee idol is a thing of the past. He is only & memory. The moving picture hero of the screen has supplanted him. The girls and women have put the film star on a pedestal, and they give him that adoration no matter whether he is in California, or Algiers, while viewing the picture.

“A score of years ago the matinee idol was in the zenith of his glory. People of the present day cannot realize how the women used to idolize them. There was Harry Montague, George Rignold of ‘King Henry V’ fame; Osmond Tearle, who started in ‘The Sllver King’; Charley Thorne, the leading man of the old Union Square theater; Harry Crisp, handsome Jack Barnes, who was Adelaide Neilgon's leading man ; Henry Conway, -and later Maurice Barrymore and Kyrle Bellew. These men were the pets of the ladies and each one could fill the house on a Saturday matinee. Not only this, but they were feted and entertained by the men as well. . :

“The most famous was Montague, The girls -throughout the country bought his pictures and used to wear their hair in what was known as the Montague curl. Who that knows those days can forget when Monty, as he was known, used to take a jaunt down to Long Branch, then the fashionable resort? He was tall, slender, broad shouldered, with a slight, silky mustache, big, dreamy eyes, with handsome white teeth, Without being the least effeminate he used to wear a double-breasted blue serge sult, white flannel yachting cap, with a heavy gold cord, and was one of the first to introduce the low russet shoe, as they were called in those days.”—New' York Sun and Globe.

Pure Water Does Not : Conduct Electricity Pure water, does not conduct electricity to pny appreciable extent. A column of] chemically pure water one twenty-fifth of an inch long has as much resistance to the passage of an electric current as a copper wire of the same dlameter as long as from the earth to the moon. What makes ordinary water a moderately good conductor is not the water itself, but the material dissolved in it. When, for example, a molecule of salt is put into water, it breaks up into what are known as lons, one positively, the other negatively charged. If then an eiectii(ie current is given a chance to pass through the water, it rides on the fons which carry the electrical charges through it. If there are no ions, that s, if there are no salts in solution, the current cannot get across. But all -water outside of chemical laboratories contains enough dissolved substances to make a fairly good conductor, although chemically pure water is not.

Origin of 12-Hour Dial

Long before the invention of tha modern clock the Greeks divided the 24-hour day into two uneven units, from sunrise to sunset and from sunset to sunrise. And these units they further divided into hours, each hour being a twelfth of its unit. ! Thus {s summer a day hour way longer than a night hour, and in win ter vice versa. Then the hours were® further subdivided into minutes and seconds. But the Hgyptlans had the much more practical arrangement of dividing the whole period from sunrise to sunrise into 24 equal hours. Eventually a system embodying the two methods became general. The Greek 12-hour perlods, with their minutes and seconds were kept, but every hour was made equal in length. Thus when the modern clock came to be made its face was divided into 12 hours.—Detroit News. °

The Sun Spot Cycle

Important new knowledge about sun spots was acquired during the year through observations at the Mt. Wilson observatory, although 1928 was the year of minimum sunspottedness. These great vortices are centers of magnetic fields, and they are known to j‘pas?s across the disk of the sun two by two, with each spot of a pair having a different sign, as though fhey were the two ends of the horseshoe magnet. When spots.of the new cycle appeared on the disk of the sun it was discovered that the arrangement of polarity was exactly the reverse of what it had been. Thus the true sun spot cycle is just twice the eleven and oneeighth years assumed now, and contains two maxima and minima instead of only one of ‘each.—Current History Magazine. e

Who’s Who?

The door of the post office opened, and a man whom the postmistress did not recognize as one of the people living. in the district walked in. *I am expecting a registered letter to be left here for me,” he announced, as he approached the counter. - “What name, please?’ asked the postmistress. The man gave his name and the letter was produced,-but the woman had her doubts as to whether she ought to give it up, as she had no means of identifying the caller, Upon hearing this the stranger took a photograph from his pocket and handed it to the postmistress, remarking: = “I think that ought to satisfy you ag to who I am.” -

She looked long and earnestly at the portrait and then said: “Yes, that’s you, right enough. Here's your letter.” Christian Sciemce Seclety.

, "Fer Falr Tariill. - . At the request of H. E. Miles, chairman of the Fair Tariff League, Racine Wis., William, H. Settle, who is president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, this week recommended the names of H. E. Lockry, Franklin; A. H. Myers, Carmel; Elwood Morris, Mt. Comfort, and James R. Riggs of Sullivan; as members of the Indiana committee representing the league.

“The Farm Bureau’'s only interest in the league”, said Mr. Settle, “is the interest of any citizen in the enactment .of a tariff that ~ protects equally and honestly all classes: of citizens. When a taritf law does equally and honestly protect all classes of citizens, it ceases or should cease to be a political question. If the dissemination of information along these lines ultimately brings abeut this fair and honest protection, the league will have justified its existence.” L
