On a dark, stormy night, as th train ratiled on. All th passenger had gon to bed) -- Except one young man with a babe in hi anna, Who sat there with a bowed-dow- n bead. The Innocent one began crying just then, ' A though its poor heart would break. On angry man said. "Mak that child (top, it noise For it's keeping all of us wakev" "Put it out," said another, "don't keep H In here, ' We've paid for our berth and want rest" But never a word said the man with the child. As he folded it close to his breast, "Where I It montherT Go tak it to In," This a lady then softly said. "I wish that I could," was th man' sad reply. "But she' dead, hi tha coach ahead. Chorus ! While the train rolled onward, A husband sat in tears. Thinking of th happiness Of just a few short years. For baby face bring pictures Of a cherished hope that' deed--But baby cries can't waken ber In th baggage coach ahead.

How, when Heaven had sent them this iweet little babe Their young, happy live were blessed ; His heart seemed to break when he mentioned her name. And in tear tried to tell then the rest Every woman arose to ajwlrt with the child, There were mothers and wives on that train. And soon was the little one sleeping in pea. With no thought of sorrow ot pain. Next morn at a atatton. he bade an good-by- "God bless you," he softly said. Each one had a story to ted In the home. Of th baggag coach ahead.

In the days of the Civil war' when small cannon shot Iron balls weighing 15 or 20 pounds, the range was usually point blank, the enemy ship loomed large as a target and the gun-point-sighted by gazing along the barrel. These two new Instruments are called the target computer and bat-tery computor. They are directed by two d telescopes located at fixed observation stations In the vicinity of the harbor defense. On sighting an enemy ship the observa-tions are transmitted electrically to the two calculating Instruments, where the exact location of the enemy ship is computed. These new Instruments, the fruit of several years' constant work and ex-periment, predict the advance location of the moving enemy, make allowances for the temperature of powder, type of shell, atmospheric pressure, direc-tion and velocity of the wind and the drift of the shell caused by the big gun's rifling. Under the present sys-tem all these factors are added, sub-tracted and otherwise checked up and accounted for by human rang Anders X7ASIllNGTON. Two Instruments " " which. It Is declared, will revo-lutionize the art of coast defense, a:e being exhibited In the ordnance de-partment here, and later will be In-stalled at Panama to control the tire of the big guns In the canal defenses. The instruments comprise a system of ranging and following a moving enemy ship. They are operated elec-trically and adjusted automatically. They add, substract, multiply, divide and muke allowance for many factors controlling the flight of a big shell. Visitors to the larger coast defense stations often wonder how It Is pos-sible for the gunners to hit a ship with a five or six-fo- projectile shot from Western Brevities ' from the Many Western States i- - i I.os Angeles All United States will lie broken by California th's year, ac-cording to a Ktatement issued by the Los Angeles chamber of commerce.

Uncle Sam to Keep Tab on Sun Spots TTNCLE SAM and tlfe Western Union Telegraph company, which was damaged to the extent of a quar-ter of a million dollars by a sunspot In May of last year, are now develop-ing a system of precautions, against sunspots like that of the mariner and farmer against the weather. The sunspots shower the earth with excess electrical current, producing the electrical storms which now and then paralyze telegraph, cable and telephone service. Arrangements have been made with the United States Naval observatory for a regular bulle-tin service on the condition ot sun-spot- s. Whenever a new one appears on the rim of the sun and starts to move around where It will be In a posit on to volley the earth with elec-trical showers, notice Is sent from the observatory to the Western Union of-ficials. In return for this service the Western Union Is preparing to collect Information on a large scale on elec-trical currents, their strength and di-rection, and their apparent connec-tion with sunspots. ' SunRpots occur In eleven-yea- r cycles. The present year Is near the middle of the cycle, or In the period when the autiBpots are fewest. Last year was a time when few sunspots were normal- - ly due, so that the sunspot, or cluster of spots, which caused the great elec-trical storm on May 19, 20 and 21, was quite unexpected. It Is only since telegraph and telephone wires and cables have been In use that electrical storms of this type have made any great difference to human beings, so that records of them have been meager, but that of last year is by far the worst that ever occurred, when measured by damage te electrical ap-paratus. It burned out fuses and short-clr-culte- d apparatus all over this country, 'caused flres In Europe, and probably caused one In a railroad yard In Wash-ington. It damaged cables so badly that the Western Union had to send out a repair shop to put them In good order. Where Science Will Tell All About It be under a dome la the central lobby, where the sun-sp- phenomena will be demonstrated. v Foucault's experiment demonstra-tion will be embodied In a 60-fo- pen-dulum swinging in a wide arc. Th swinging pendulum will mark an In-variable direction In space, and as the earth revolves beneath It rotation will be plainly shown by the steady change In direction of the pendulum's swing over the divided arc. Here the pressure of light, earthquake action, magnetic storms, the gravitational pull of small masses, the growth of plants, living bacteria and other phenomena will be the subjects of other exhibits. In the seven exhibition rooms sur. rounding the central rotunda, the lat-est results of scientific and Industrial research will be demonstrated. One week there may be displayed the latest forms of radio telephony and the next perhaps a set of psycho-logical tests or a new find of fossils or a series of synthetic compounds. The building, designed to cost $5,000,000, was the gift of the Carne-gie corporation. The ground was bought with a fund of $200,000 col-lected by donations throughout the country, The building Vill be of marble In ?1h!8Ic sltnnllc'.ty.

With the completion of the new home of the Nntional Academy of Sci-ences at Washington, these things will be a regular part of the Interesting exhibits open to the public. It Is hoied to have the building completed by the fall of 1023. It will be located near the recently dedi-cated Lincoln memorial- and will he three stories high.

A Uxtil auction house Is crowded to (he doors when the government puts up at auction an accumulation of several months' unclaimed and unmailabte parcel post matter. Some people have an idea that a dead letter sale Is conducted ulong lottery Hue. A glimpse Into the auc-tion room would bear out thin Impres-sion. No other goods are In sight. The auctioneer, high above the crowd, is rattling off as fast n he can: "Lot number twelve at $. at $5, $0, Ht $7; yours for $7, Mr. Iinrnn." Then without a pause for breath, the auctioneer Is reeling off the next number and calling for bids. The bid-ders In the crowd are closely follow-ing the wile by their catalogues, imt these give only the most general de-scription of each lot of goods. Ap-parently they are buying In the dark. This Is not the e;isi, however. The ihty before the sale the articles to he sold are on display. I.Mig rows in" packing boxes with aisles liehveen i ihem ranee the length of the auction room. Kueh box contains one lot . f cwmIs. Scarcely any articles ure d!s . nojed or" singly at these sales when a large amount of goods is to bi sue tl(ned. Hundreds of people go through th auction room selecting bargains to ht bid for. When the wile opens, there fore, It proceeds with a snap.
