Provoked . Speech.

rood story is told of the way in
whica a New England senator was
once aroused to make stirring speech.
At the outset of his political career he
had been known as a remarkably clever
Orator of the stump" and later on, in
the lower house of the legislature, he
made a brilliant name for himself. But
when he became a senator he ceased
talking, much to the regret of his
friends and admirers. Finally the
liquor law came up for discussion. and
the wife of friend of the senator,
who was much interested in its passage,
was greatly disappointed to see that
the brilliant man had no apparent in
tention of joining in the discussion.
She sat down and wrote few words
OF a sheet of paper, which she inclosed
IT. an envelope and sent by messenger
to the senator. DO speak! Even Ba.
laam's ass spoke once." This brought
the senator to his feet and elected one
OF the best speeches he ever made.

Not for Carriage Whee,..

1t is not generally understood as it
should be, perhaps, that bicycle wheels
seldom or never are subjected to lateral
strains. They need to resist only those
strains which pass through their own
plane and in this plane only have they
any strength worth speaking of. This
ls worth remembering when the use
OF wheels of this type is being consid.
cred for three or four wheeled vehi-
cles, where the conditions are essen
tally different and where, in turn.
ing corners rapidly, or in going over
ground that causes the vehicle to be
inclined sideways. very considerable
lateral strain may be brought upon the
wheels-a strain which the ordinary
bicycle wheel is. very properly, entire.
~ united for. This is to be consid.
cred also in connection with devices
for attaching two bicycles side by side
to make duplex or four-wheeled ma
chine of them. Neither the frame, the
bearings nor the wheels of properly
constructed bicycle are adapted to such
use without injury.-Chicago News.

In work entitled AN Australian

Chinese say, Heaven rejoiced and hell

ters," is an injunction of Confucius
which no Chinaman neglects to follow.
He remembers that "he who uses let
tered paper to kindle the fire has ten
demerits. and will have itchy sores" "
he remembers that "he who tosses
lettered paper into dirty water, or
burns it in filthy place has 20 demer-
it's, and will frequently have sore eyes
or become blind" whereas, "he who
gets about and collects, washes and
burns lettered paper has 5000 merits.

is written, he often thinks himself alb

TESTING CHRONOMETERS.
The Interesting Process OF Adjusting
Watches for Temperature.

The Interesting Process of Adjusting
Watches for Temperature.
Before a first-class watch is sold it
has to go through a variety of tests or
adjustments" and one of the most
important is the adjustment for tenn
perature.
Chronometers are adjusted for tenn
peratures varying from so degrees to
90 degrees, as a rule, but some makers
especially in France-cool them down
to zero, and often they are heated to
100 degrees. Beyond this point it is
dangerous to heat them, as the oil
would be liable to injury, and even the
works might suffer.
Pocket watches are adjusted for tenn
peratures varying from 35 degrees to 95
degrees. The process consists in put
ting the watch in a close-itting case,
and placing this in a cold room, or a
refrigerator with ice, and leaving it
there for some time, altering the works
so as to make it keep regular time.
Then it is very gradually heated, great
care being taken not to let the moisture
in the warm air condense upon it.
Next it is put in a specially con-
structed oven, and heated to 90 or 100
or 120 degrees, the machinery being
again adjusted to go regularly. Chron-
cneters are usually kept a week in the
cold chamber, then week in the hot
and again a week in the cold chamber
After that they are ready to make voy-
ages to any port between the equator
and the poles without losing or gaining
minute.

A Tottering Spire.

1t is reported that the spire Of Sails
bury cathedral, in the south Of Eng
land, is tottering. When the cathedral
was begun. in 1920, there was no
thought of erecting spire on the CEN
tral tower. That was an afterthought,
and the architect who designed the
tower strained the strength of the orig
inal substructure to the utmost. Ithas
always had to be carefully watched.
and the means taken to strengthen il
by iron bands and ties have only added
TO the weight Of late the stonework
has been decaying rapidly, SO that the
spire is in great danger of collapsing.

EARTHLY PARADlSES.
Portions OF tho Earth That Approach
Climatic Perfection.

For an inhabitant of the north tenn
perate zone the most nearly correct
climate would probably be the island
of Tasmania, which enjoys warmth
without heat and freshness without
cold, and moreover possesses climate
so equable that the average tempera-
ture ranges from A to 63 degrees. Civ
ing a mean Of about So. In addition
to this, or possibly in consequence of 1T,
and the purifying effect of the sea
breezes, there Is practically no disease
save what the inhabitants are response
BILE for. There are many groups of is
lands In the South Pacific which fully
deserve the name of earthly paradise,
but they have the fault of being too
much like paradise. The valley of Cash
mere in northern India and of Quito
in Ecquador possess climates which
are almost perfect, but they suffer the
disadvantage of a great distance from
the sea. Australia is too dry and New
Zealand too damp to approach perfec-
ton; but Tasmania possesses the happy
mean which affords health and comfort
without the danger of degeneration
which is the penalty of more luxurious
climes. Of places near home, the Isle
of Man probably most nearly fulfills
the conditions of the question. Al
though SO much farther north, its aver
age temperature is almost as high and
quite as equable as that of the Isle of
Wight, but it possesses the additional
advantage of freedom from the fogs,
which are the greatest disadvantage
of the shores of the English channel
