Lee B. Nusbaum Co,
By Kathryn Keefe. LIEUTENANT ORKXN and Francis botn went to th hUl with MIm Susan and Botty and tkr met Betty's father and m otter, who asked them to Cay to luncheon. They were glad to do this, because Francis' mother bad gone to Cnlebra to spend the Betty's father was grestly Intersated in the workings of the canal, and Lieutenant Green was able to tell hh what tremendous difficulties the engineers had surmounted and Just how the big looks worked. It was all very Interesting, and iter inacheon Betty's father lasghingly admitted that he had learned more abswt American ingenuity in ai chat with Xtss Susan's friend than he evar knew before. It ww) a remark sfeont the heat Is ay Bastye saotaer that roused riasialB as ssaaacBsraace of hie intmranase) ylenefion to Betty. ICw aoelsr eader tk tree" said ho. "Cease slang sut and I'll tell yon wr irs so hot la Danaa." Kiaa Susan nodded, and as the Lieutenant and Betty's father rat smotrtag sad Betty's mother went to take a nap the three slipped out Into the ritUe square beyond the hotel and sit on a beach. Frenets was very much In earseat about telling his new friend why Panama was warm all the year round. XTp heme." he said, "In New Terk. we go skating In the Winter, but no one can skate bore, because tfeara Isn't any Winter. The sun up there Is so bright all tho time that aothtng gats a chance to freezo." Miss Susan nodded. "Do you know what a elltae Is?" Francis asked Botty. "Of eoarse you do," 'said Susan; s-Ire hf r taat pieco of ehaik, Fran- : that's It now Betty, draw an' ellipse right on this flat stone." SeUy leeaisd down and drew an ellipse, which is - nothing tut sn oval about the shape of an egg, as
tat as oauine goes.
!' . . (To m .Csattaod.)
"That's right," said Francis; "now this is the sun, this round spot in the middle, and hare's the earth that's round, too only it tips a little." Miss Susan was looking, too. "Thata right. Francis." "Now when the earth is making its Journey about the sun it is closer to it sometimes than at others, and thafs what makes Simmer and Winter, but you see the nearer you get to the middle of the earth the equator, that is you get the rays of the sun more direct and that makes It hotter. Isn't that it, Miss Susan?" "I see," said Betty; "when the earth is at the far end of the ellipse It's Winter up home, because we're farthest away from 'the son, and when we're nearest If a Summer; but if we lived here the bulge of the earth would make us get the shortest rays of the sun all the time, so. it never would be cool enough to freeze." Francis laughed. "You know as much about it as I do," ho said; "but there's ono thing Td like to know what keeps the earth travelling around the sun so regularly why doesn't it run away or hit against some star or something?" "That's a wonderful thing. Francis.' said Miss Susan; "It's called gravity. Now, to-night you look at the stars. Most of them are so far away they look like pin points, yet they are many times bigger than oar sun and they all travel la their paths. It's the most puzzling:!
but the meat beautiful thing to think about- Betty and I often watch the stars." J They were so interested In their ': talk that Betty's father and the Lieutenant stole up behind them J without being noticed. ; "We're having a lecture on the; planets." said Kiss Susan. ( Fraaoia had to leave, but he re-f minded Bett7 at Xanyo's party that next afternoon before he went away with his father.. "He's a very nice ffff said' Betty. i .
