The short-Lived Humorist.

Robert j. Burdette in. the august Forum.
In fact, SO scarce is the funny man that
you must seek fer him when you want him.
de is not nearly SO numerous as his reputa-
ton. he loves life and light and warmth,
and is so vivacious in his mere enjoyment
OF life that possibly he sometimes multiplies
himself to ones irritated Imagination. as
one light-winged, restless fly, child of the
summer, seems to be hundred or thou
sand to the wise man, bent upon improving
MS mind and tempting eternity by reading
the Encyclopedia Britannica. The lend
man" is May fly, living in the sunshine
for one happy day, and hen forgotten. In
seml-crltlcal paper, published in Rdrpers
Magazine few months since, Mr.. Lukens
mentions by name about $50 American
humor1sts who have made merry
with their friends during the past
2oO years. 1t is pathetic
record of strangers Read it, and
underline the names which have q familiar
sound to your ears. Blot out the names you
cannot remember to have read or heard
before, and if you are under 40 years of age,
the condensation OF the paper will startle
you. The people have not been led into the
wilderness of frivolity by the end man.
sometimes, the funny man, in a moment of
madness, consents to lecture two nights in
succession. The second lecture is almost in
varlably dismal failure. Zone consecu-
tive night" is the limit of the funny mans
course. But people do like to be amused a
little. and so the end man is usually put on.
frequently he is informed-and the I'M
conscious seriousness of the committeeman
VINO so informs him is funnier than any,
thing In the lecture-that 'we have had the
very best lecturers in the country on our
course this winter, the strongest minds and
the greatest thinkers in America, and now
our people want little change"

THE OCEANS "UNDRRrOW."
Philosophy of It-When the Bather is
in Danger.

Philosophy of It-Wher the Bather is
in Danger.
Editor Morning NetUS: To understand
the laws of nature is to understand how to
live properly and healthfully, and how to
avoid danger. Every one knows, or should
know, that it is very dangerous to stand
under a tree during a thunder storm, and
that the chances are ten to one if the tree
Is lot struck 10y lightning. The philosophy
IS simple enough: A tree is a good con-
ductor and a mal is also, and the electricity
in the tree and man draws electricity from
the clouds. Keep away from tree during
y thunderstorm, and il is best to be wet TO
be safe.
As 10 the "undertow" of the ocean, says
writer i'll Scri6ner's Monthly, it is very ma
turai ami easily explained: "As each wave
rolls in and breaks upon the beach the
volume of water which it carries does not
remain there and sink into the sand: il
flows back again, and as the succeeding
wave treaAs over it the receding one forms
az undercurrent flowing outward, of
strength proportionate to the body of water
contained in each breaker, and, again, pro-
potlonate IN great measure to the depth
OF tue ditch. When this latter is an appre-
clable depression it can be readily seen that
the water of receding waves will flow into
II with similar effect to that of water going
over fall, and that person standing near
Is very likely TO be drawn over with it, and
thus, II the ditch is deep enough, carried
out Of his depth. This is all there is to the
much-talked of 'undertow' and The numer-
Gus accidents laid to its account
10 be palmer, there is constant action
and reaction, and so long as the bather will
Keep himself in harmony with the incom-
ing waves, he is safe, but to get caught by
the reaction, he is carried out. Thus upon
ebb tide the reaction is greatest, and to get
beyond ones depth is very dangerous.
Ilere should be ropes put at certain dis

Them. Bold swimmers imagine that thew
can resist an undercurrent, and the re-
sut generally is that they are the ones who

ana caution are what is needed. 1t is
