Good Health
to the
Children
Children especially are fond of dainties,
and the housekeeper must look carefully
to their food.
As good cake can be made only with
good eggs, so also a cake that is health
ful as well as dainty must be raised with
a pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation of the highest quality
of food. It imparts that peculiar light
ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the
finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
and what is more important, renders the
food wholesome and agreeable to young
and old.

THE IDEAL WIFE
One Man at Least Mas Found and
Won That Kind.
/
After many months of anxious
searching, many thousands of in
quiries, many hundred miles of
weary traveling and untold scores
of heartrending disappointments,
Rev. George W. Brownback, of
Reading, has found and taken to
his bosom an ideal wife.
The Rev. Bro.vnback's quest
for a wife who should meet all
the qualifications set forth by
him had become a matter of
national renown. Newspapers
throughout the country heralded
his want of a companion to
maidens anxious for marital re
lations. Photographs and letters
poured in upon him and the Read
ing postal authorities imagined
another “endless chain” had been
established. Every clue that
seemed to have the ideal wife at
the end was eagerly pursued by
the clergyman. But it was not
until he met Miss Blanche DeCon,
of Newark, that his ideal was
realized. It was love at first
sight, strengthened by subsequent
impressions The parson tasted
her cooking and spent a week at
her home observing her manners
of housekeeping. They discussed
religion, politics, philosophy, do*
mestic economy, relations of hus*
band and wife and son-in-law and
mother in-law. In everything they
agreed. God’s hand was in it all,
the clergyman believed, as it was
only indirectly through his mat
rimonial advertisement that they
had met.
Going to Newark to study a
young lady who answered his
card, he met this woman who
above all others impressed him as
combining the requirements of
the ideal wife. According to his
description she is a woman with
dark hair, dark eyes, comely, neat
appearance, practical Christian
piety, good housekeepei, but not
too fussy, excellent health; one
who knows how to sew and cook
and mind her own business, and
a woman who will not try to boss
her husband, and last but not
least, a woman who will accept
the word of her husband rather
than that of her mother.
Having decided on her as the
best fitted companion for his life s
work the reverend suitor merely
wrote her a quotation from the
scriptures:
And now I beseech, thee,
lady, not as though I wrote
a new commandment unto
thee, but that which we had
from the beginning, that we
love one another.—John ii,
chapter v.
She replied:
Entreat me not to leave
thee, nor to return from fol
lowing after thee; for whither
thou goest I will go, and
where thou lodgest I will
lodge. Thy people shall be
my people and thy God my
God; where thou diest I will
die, and there will I be buried;
the Lord do so to me, and
more also, if aught but death
part thee and me.—Ruth i:16.
May divorce proceedings never
come up to mar this idyll.
A convincing explanation, assuredly.
Who can doubt its seundnsss?
Lst ub visit one of the homes where
the income is only fourteen dollars a
week. What do you find there? A
buxom woman, Mrs. Rafferty, cheap
furniture and a half dozen healthy chil
dren. They are happy. A visit to a
residence on the Lake Shore drive is a
natural sequence. There is luxury; the
mistress never works, of course, but is
quite fend of her single child—whenever
’she is at home.
Rural Free Delivery.
Mr. Joseph L. Bristow, fourth
assistant postmaster general, has
been riding with the carriers over
some of the rural delivery routes
in Missouri The total number
in the United States exceed* 24,-
000. As the system is compara
tively new in this country, im
portant questions are frequently
submitted to Mr. Bristow, so he
is familiarizing himself with the
practical details. He says he has
been struck in Missouri by the
large mail, including many news-
papers, delivered along the coun
try roads. He is impressed with
the number of letters written and
received by farmers and their
families. Road conditions are
closely observed on the journey
The good roads movement and
rural free delivery are intimately
related. New delivery routes are
more widely asked in the West
than in any other part of the
country, and Mr. Bristow is tak
ing notes on how much work a
carrier performs and how long it
takes.
Rural free delivery has de
veloped with remarkable rapidity.
It is a big expense and will add
considerably to postal deficits dur
ing the next few years. But the
benefits are immense. It brings
city and farm close together and
tends to modify the rush toward
the towns. It increases the com.
forts and pleasures of life in rural
homes and raises the standard ef
general information. It adds to
opportunity and saves labor.
“Going for the mail” required a
large expenditure of time. That
item is saved. Rural free de
livery is an old convenience in
the most advanced section* of
Europe, and has long been viewed
there as one of the absolute es
sentials. It is making swift head
way in this country, because it
more than realizes the highest
expectations. Mr. Bristow has
chosen the light way to find out
its merits and need.
WONDERFUL THERMOMETER
Hew to Heasure the Heat of a Can
dle Three fliles off.
By A. O. Granger.
Some years ago we had a sum
mer cottage on Cape Cod. The
weather was very hot and in the
family circle reference was often
made to the thermometer showing
94 degrees in the shade or 98 de
grees in the shade and so on.
One day I asked our daughter,
Sarah, then five years old, if she
knew what a thermometer was,
and the answer promptly cam*:
“Course I do, it’s a hot in the
shade.”
On one of our trips to Wash
ington Mrs. Granger and I were
privileged to examine at the
Smithsonian Institution the most
delicate thermometer ever made.
It is the invention of the famous
astronomer and physicist, Prof. S.
P. Langley, and is called the Bolo
meter. It will indicate very deli
cate variations in temperature.
The Bolometer is based on
thermo-electricity, discovered by
Seebeck, which is, as its name in
dicate*, electricity caused by heat
and is a beautiful illustration of
the “conservation of energy,”
which law demonstrates that no
thing is even lost and that the
various forms of force and energy
are convertible into each other.
For a long time the most deli
cate heat measuring instrument
was one invented by Nobili and
perfected by Melloni, called the
thermo-electric pile, in which al
ternate strips or liars of bismuth
and antimony are soldered to
gether at their ends so that they
lie on their edges parallel to but
insulated from each other. The
strip at one end of the “pile” was
bismuth and at the other end an
timony, and a wire connected
their ends to a galvanometer,
which is a magnetized needle del
icately suspended by a thread and
freely moving within a coil of
wire. When no electric current
is passing in the coil of wire the
needle points to zero, but a very
weak current will deflect it. A
current will be set up if any
warmth is applied to the bismuth
side of the pile; even a fly walk
ing on the bismuth will cause the
needle to move by reason of the
heat from its body.
But the thermo-electric pile is
far outdone by the bolometer
which will measure the heat of an
ordinary candle at a distance of
three miles. The principle upon
which it depends is that a heated
wire offers more resi*tance to the
passage of an electric current than
a cool one.
For his instrument Prof. Lang
ley wanted an extraordinarily
fine platinum wire. To obtain it
the thinnest commercial platinum
wire was coated with silver by
the interesting electro-plating pro
cess. The platinum wire was sus
pended from the negative pole of
a voltaic battery in a weak solu
tion of silver, and a piece of sil
ver was suspended from the posi
tive pole. Then the voltaic elec
tricity (from just such a battery |
as is used with electric doorbells)
decomposes the silver and it
passes in a mysterious way to the
platinum wire which it coats with
absolute uniformity. A silver
wire was thus produced with a
platinum core. This was then
drawn out to a fine wire by pass
ing through successively smaller
grooves in a pair of rolls. Then
the silver was dissolved by nitric
acid and the platinum wire of th*
desired fineness was the result
The reason why silver was used in
this way is because silver is one
of the most ductile of metals and
is easily drawn out, while the
platinum would have broken long
before it was squeezed out thin
enough for the purpose.
Two pieces of this wire cros as
shallow cell or cup three inches
in diameter, parallel to each other.
The ends of the wire are con
nected to a galvanometer. A cur
rent of electricity is divided by
passing it through the two fine
wires and if the current is equal
in each wire the needle of the
galvanometer will not move. But
if one wire only be warmed, how
ever slightly, then the electric
current finds it more difficult to
get through that wire and the
two are not in electrical balance;
the current will then more quickly
pass through the other wire which
will be at once indicated by the
delicately suspended needle of the
galvanometer.
Prof. Langley has passed the
Bolometer through all of the
colors of the spectrum and found
that the greatest heat is where
there is the greatest light, in the
yellow green part and not in the
red end as was supposed. He has
also found heat rays far beyond
the ends, and so has extended the
invisible spectrum many times the
length of the visible portion.
In testing the heat from distant
objects a telescope is used and the
heat rays are focused to a point
and brought to bear upon one
only of the wires and the wonder
ful statement in the title of this
article is proven. It will easily
register one-millionth of a degree
Fahrenheit.
