Noonday Sunlight 465,000 Timet Stronger Than Moon The noonday sun on a clear day gives 405,000 times as much light as the full moon at Its zenith. It provides the earth with nearly 120,<XX),(XX) times more light than all the stars In the sky on a clear night. These calculations of relative Illumination are presented In the meteorological tables of the Smithsonian Institution. The table for relative illumination Intensities, prepared by the weather bureau, takes for Its unit* measure the foot cuudlc--thc amount of illumination received from a standard candle a foot away. The noonday sun. It Is calculated. Juts an Intensity of 0,000foot candles at the surface of the earth.

R*aid?nc? of President* There Is nothing In the Constitution to prevent men who are resident* of the same state holding the (^ces. of President and Vice President of the 1 United States. The Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution reuds In part: "The electors shall meet In their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves." No party has ever nominated candidates for these two ollices from the same state. Obviously it would he unwise to do so because the electors fmru that state could vote for only one of them, even if the party carried the state. But the electors from all t.he other states could vote for both candidates. When Drama Came The earliest European drama is the Creek, which, growing up In connection With the festlvnl of Dionysitis, culminated in Attica, where the festival come to be celebrated by the performance of a tetralogy, consisting of one comedy uml n trilogy of serious plays or tragedies celebrating n connected series of mythic episodes.

The former cuts out disease j growths and patches up the wounds ' with asphalt or other materials, after i proper antiseptics have been used to clean them out ami prevent further i local spread of the malady. Toadstools, sometimes of great size, ' are often seen growing on the roots j or trunks of trees. They are disease growths.

Source of Mother's Milk Scientists of the CAfhegle Institution of Washington have discovered the hormone, or gland secretion, that causes and governs the production of mothers' milk.

The hormone, called "prolactin." is a secretion of i the pituitary gland. The discoverers obtained theirs from the pitiitnn-y ' glands of cattle and sheep.

I'KN rORTWAIT OF A TORNADO What ihm Om Devastating Andarm County loiUi Uk? to HumaM \ Since midnight & aultriness of tho( atmosphere had fefccreaaed. The akiea were overcast, (but little rain fell. Shortly after 4 o'clock a. m. a light thunderstorm broke, but quickly subsided. It "brought an abrupt shower followed by a light driztle, which #u?pended at daylight. The Anderson Mail is describing the terrific tornado which devastated a wide swath through that county a week ago. That sultriness and the following murkiness was a part of its genesis, The trained observer continues his i>en portrait of a tornado: The mugginess of the atmosphere continued, and shortly after 9 o'clock came another thunderstorm. This continued $tA intervals until shortly after 2 o'clock, when the thunder became heavier. Abruptly a smutty, black cloud came boiling out of the southwest and swept around to the northwest. It hung low down, and churned about frantically like a scump of smoke whipped by the wind, Abruptly a roar became audible. It grew louder and louder. Then out. from ^apparently nowhere there popped a lung, grayish, tapering funnel. It snaked down toward the earth, twisting furiously. Se?#j?a,o{ persons in the business section of the city saw it, and there were shouts that a tornado had struck. i ^ Once contacting the earth, which was about midday, up Broad street in North Anderson, the tornado seemed to glide along at terrific speed, the tail trailing along out of the cloud like an enormous, tapering cone. It was blackish in color, but now and then came flashes of green as trees and leaves were whipped up into the vortex. A.nd streaks of lightning seemed to dart from its interior. , The funnel tore along at about 60 miles an hour, 'but the winds within the whirl probably revolved at two or three hundred miles an hour. Twisting like a snake and whipping about in a wide arc the twister tore across country to the southwest, bouncing every now and then, sometimes jumping over a space half a mile long. This probably accounts for the small amount of damage in North Anderson, for at that time the twister was on the bounce and didn't establish contact with the ground. j This tornado traveled roughly in the skme direction as others have cut across this county. It roared Idke a train going through a tunnel. The temperature dropped almost immediately. The storm mov^ed in a narrow path, the tone of greatest intensity being a quarter Of a mile wide. It took the cloud more than 10 minutes to travel from Anderson to Belton. Trees and buildings were twisted counter-clockwise. One barn was picked up, turned almost around, and, badly shattered, dropped back in place. Buildings?and posts were splattered with mud. The explosive action of the storm was exnmpled by windows blown outward, in some instances disappearing and leaving no trace. The walls of many buildings fell outward, the roofs dropping to the floor. In other cases the roofs were amoved with bulging walls left in place. Grass and shrubs were torn up by the roots, as were hundreds of trees, and the earth laid bare. In some places holes were apparently dug into it. Orchard trees wore stripped of leaf and twig and left standing. To even 'begin enumerating the freakish pranks played iby the tornado would require a book for everywhere one looked in the storm zone we<re won* dors testifying to the power of that roaring vortex, . . George A. Sloan, president of the Cotton Textile on "Wodnedday sent President Koooevekt A telegram announcing thajt the inetttute'a directors had aneoomrmended a j 4<M?oar wefek in cotton mills during n*a* Sloan termed as the "emergency period." iSloan also reconrmamfod that cot/ton mill machinery /be operated no more than two 40-hour shifts during any one week. Organized labor is opposed to President Roosevelt's plans for reorganization of the raiLroads of the country, j because it will probably have the effect of throwing many men out of i employment. Secretary of Commerce Roper says that the "purpose of the! bill is to assist the railroads to help themselves." | Knight I. Faacette, 60, and his son, ' Jack, JO, -were murdered in their laundry at Plainfield, N. J., Monday night. Shortly afterward the dead body of Theodore J.
