Visits This Continent
THERE are few mere intereste

Right Honorable William
*M. Hughes, whose arrival at
a. PaCific port was announced during
the last week of May. Docker, labor
leader, politician in .Australia; states-
man seed orator both. in Australiaend
la the. British Isles, Mr, Hughes re-
ceived a welcome from the people of
:the United States as one who tyPifies
in another commonwealth qualities
of true modern democracy.
It is aittle more than two years ago
now since Mr. Hughes passed across
this continent on his why to England.
He was then little known in London
and far less ill Ottawa or Washing-
ton. But in -two brief months he had
PREMIER HUGHES.
ish politics and about him centred a
movement tot "ginger up" the war..
His . speeches _attracted aa attention
which they deserved and at a Critical
time in the war had an influence
which cannot be exaggerated. He lit-.
erally took England by storni and
scored a real success in France. -
After his successful English visit
the Prime.Minister. retirtied to Aus-
tralia- to engage in a' aglit!'for 'con-
scription, in which' he was beaten.
But despite las defeat he ren6,ined
the leader of his country and the ex-.
ponent of Australian determinatien
to light it, out. A little man in phy-
shine, unmistakably familiar ' with
nard work, a Welshman, David
Lloyd George; a dangerous oppoaent
crat, M.Illtufheis has ,earned
a place in Allied •douncsii. and 'in al-
lied affairs as one of the men wino •
have helped to keep the ,fight- going°
and to make the victory possible.
Before he left Australia two years
ago he gave orders for the elimin-
ation ot German influence from the
great -metal industriea of Australia.
If they should ask me how it was
to be done, before God could not
Lell them," he once remarked, "brit
they knovi that I will find a way."
rhis is "Billy" Hughes. He did find
a way.
It is to be hoped .now that there
will be a chance for the Canadian
people to hear his virile Nords and
receive the infOrmation and encour-
saement which he brings fret& Aus-
tralia. There axe few men in the
xorld living outside our •own fron-
tiers who more thoroughly under-
.sta,ad or sympathize with Canadian
lideas and. Canadian ideals than Mr.
Hugheti., And lhe should be, there-
fore, a welcoine - and an honored
guest in the Dominion.
The Sun's Heat,
Why is the air generally much
colder a mile above the earth than
near the ground? The heat of the
a.tmosphere conies .from the sun, but
by a somewhat indirect process._ The
incoming sunbeams ire only slightly
absorbed by the dry air at high, levels,
and SO have little effect on its tem-
perature. In the lower regions of the
atmosphere there is always a consid-
erable amount water vapor (water
in the form of -gas), and this sub-
stance has a relativety large capacity
tor absorbing heat 'from sunshine.
Lastly, the earth absorbs all the- heat
that falls upon it, and then gives it
hack, by radiation or condhction, to
the air above it. Thus the atmos-
phere is mainly heated from below
and -not from aisave. Air beated near
the geoundaends to rise, but it *cools
rapidly in rising. As it reaches high-
er levels the pressare upon it Is less;
it expands, pushirg away the , sur-
rounding air, and it uses up in this
work -some of the energy that it
originally poissessed in the form of.
her.t, This process -is teferred to by
scien tists as "adiabatic "cooling."
This 'explains why the heat of sum-
:ner often seems to come up from
the ground rather than. from the
boiling -sun above.—Popular Science

In the speing, when moving was
slack, Bindle invariably found a. job -as
a painter. It was shortly after his en-
counter with Professor Conti that he
heard bands were wantedtat the Splen-
did Hotel, where a permanent staff of
paiaters and decorators were kept It
*as the pride bf. the management to
keep the hotel spotless, and as jt was
alwaye full, to giye ,a_wing bodily over
ta the painters and decorator's, would
mean a considerable loss of revenue.
Consemtently all the work of renova-
tion was done during the night.
The insides of the bedroom's were
completely redecorated within the
space of twenty-four hours, All cor-
ridors and *loam/Ion-rooms were dente
between midnight and the hot-water
Itour, speeial quick -drying ;materials
being used: but most important of
was the silence of the workers.
"The bloomin' miraeles," Bindle cal-
led the little army that transformed
the place in tile conree a;:few hepicS.
. When first told of the system he was
incredulous, and on applying for a
job to...the forem.an in charge, he re-
marked:
"I've ieard of dumb clawgs, maybe
it's true; and dumb waitern; but, dumb
Painters—I won't believe it—it ain't /A-
ural." -
The foreman had. eyed him delibera-
tely; then in a contemptuous tone, re -
"If you get this job 'youve got to
go without winkin' or breathin' in. case
you make a noise. If_ you want to
cOugh, you've got to choke; if you
want to- sneeze you've -got to bust in-
stead. You'll get to liltett in. time."
"Sounds pleasant," remarked Bindle
dryly; " still, Pll join," he added w -ah
decision, "though it's like being a
night-watehmaie in a museum.",
The hours were awkward and the
restrictions severe, but the pay was
good, and Biedle had in his mind's eye
the irate form of Mrs. Bindle with her
inevitable interrogation, "Got a jeb."
"You starts at eleven p. m." prca
ceeded the foreman, "and. you leaves
off at eight next morning—if you're
lucky, If y'ain't you gets the sack,
and leaves' all the same.
At firetBindle found the work inex-
pressibly dreary. To be within a. few
yards -of fellow -creature and. debar-
red from speaking to him wan: ag en-
tirely new experience. Time after
time he evas on the point of venturing
some comment, checking lum elf onty
