| The health crank appeared at break
fast with his logged bicycle face agiow
from bath which he bad begun to take
at five o'clock in the morning, and which
had lasted until eight. He brought with
him to table small bottle of indiges.
ton tablets with which he enlivened
his cheerful meal of graham bread,
! onions and sterilized water.
Earnest mastication gave him no time
for conversation, except an occasional
warning to those who bolted their food,
or when he remarked that the tempera-
ture of the room was too high to be
healthy.
The health crank was a person OF no
discernible age end had the anxious
eye of one W no is always watching him
self and cutting off his own pleasures.
He was dressed in a bicycle suit, and
his hair, which was thin, smelt of hair
tonic.
We are not polite set-especially at
breakfast time, when the hotel clerk
sits with his watch in front of him and
the neckwear young man eats standing
but we are interested in human crea-
lures, and we judged the health crank

'"Thank you, but. don't think it adj
visable to go out so soon after dinner"
'Well-rcmember. dinners at seven,
and we have dumplings tonight"
The landlady said this with the air
of one vino insisted upon offering q
cheerful view of things and focusing the
brightest thing in sight.
The health crank looked disturbed,
and on his way out of the room spoke
in a low voice to the landlady.
She sighed.
"Says he can't eat dumplings," she
said sadly.
'Say, what is he, anyhow" asked the
hotel clerk, buttoning his coat. "Actor,

fully. "How could he have time for
business, stoopid? He's health crank,
he is"
The health crank has been with US
two weeks now. The hotel clerk has
started an exerciser III his room and
wears hygienic socks. The manicure
lady drinks up all the hot water in the
house.
The young man who travels for neck
wear was the last to catch the con-
tagion- He has taken to cereals and
boiled milk.
The landlady has forbidden any more
medicines to be brought to meals. She
is trying to find some excuse to get rid
of the health crank, who doesn't drink,
smoke, swear or firt; in fact, who has
no redeeming vice. She says she hates
to act mean to such a respectable per
son, but she never claimed to serve

The first note that strikes visitor to
Waahington-that Is, q visitor from the
north-is that the south has been
reached. Evidence Of this is present
on every side, and it continues to accu-
mulate SO long a. the visit lasts. At
the railway station. in the street cars,
in the hotels, even the houses to which
one goes, this note Of the sunny south,
with its polite and amiable people. and
most Of all with its children Of a former

should strike one on first coming is not
20 strange, but that the conservative
person who thinks about what is seen

Latest Theory Is That 1t IL Solid Ex-
cept in Small Spaces.
Until very recent years the fact had
hardly been questioned that by far the
greater part of the earth's interior was
in the condition of a fluid or molten
mass, the volcanic manifestations ex-
hibited on the surface, the rapid rise
of temperature that is found as we pro
coed from the exterior to the interior,
and other considerations pointing al.
most irresistibly to such a conclusion.
Indeed, a common belief was that all
that was solid centered in a crust OF
some $1,000 miles thickness "foat ting
on the fiery magma of the interior.
At the present time, after the bril-
liant mathematical expositions of Sir
William Thomson Nord Kelvin) of Prof
George Darwin, of Prof Simon New.
comb, and of Mr.. Rudski, this doctrine
of terrestrial fluidity is hardly longer
taught. A few there are who vet lin
ger with the old theory, but the great
mass Of educators and their pupils have
settled down to the comfortable con
viction that our planet is as solid or
rigid as ball of glass or steel-in fact,
twice rs rigid, according to the deter
limitations of n. Rudski.
The doctrine Of solidity does not, how
ever, involve the assumption of equal
but OF average, solidity. Again. tits not
implied that because the earth is virtu.
ally solid TO the core, local areas of
liquidity or fuidity do not exist.

THE WESTERN WOMAN

Civilization.

Her fundamentally IN Exten0iAg
Civilization.
The woman of the west is the spirit
Of energy. It is On inheritance from
her immediate ancestors, who worked
increasingly as founders of states. She
has not yet been seized with the weary
safety Of GENERALIZATION, and feels a
Joy in labor and its fruits. She pre-
fers activity, and If life offers her leis-
ure,- she adopts q child or career and
works for her self-sought object.
The double task Of making q home
and developing the country has been
through her so Thoroughly accom-
plished that. with all our vast terri
tory, we have scarcely a district that
might truly be spoken of as the from
tier. This achievement liberates for
other uses the energy Of woman, and,
true to the spirit Of the times, she
casts about her for career other than
q domestic one.
Even in the small towns Of newly-set-
tied districts the daughters of the fam
ily do not settle down to an intermin-
able round of spirItless Homework. but
instead start out with their brothers to
their days work as stenographers,

Besides all these there arc the young

Another lesson that the girl of the

a polished manner enables one to n,eet
