When the appetite fails there is no use In

"appetizing" the food may be, it cannot

This is an unfailing indicator. 1t shows
that something is fundamentally wrong

A man not familiar with ships who
saw the royal yard lying on South street
wharf the other day, might have mis-
taken it for mainyard, 1t looked so
big. 1t was a new spar for On American
wooden ship of 1,soo tons lying along
side the wharf, and was AZ feet long.
The mainyard of the ship measured
about SO feet in length. The royal was
of spruce, the main of Oregon pine. On
ship nowadays the lower yard would
be of steel, says the New York Sun.
Ship masts were formerly made with
the several parts each solid stick.
When big timber became scarce and
up of number of pieces of wood and
banded with iron hoops. When ships
began to be built of iron the lower
masts were made of iron and also the
lower yards; and when the building of
steel ships was begun, the lower masts
and the lower yards were made of steel.
There are ships now that carry steel
yards up to and including theirtop-gai-
liant yards.
There are built nowadays ships that
carry no royals. The other yards are
made longer, so that the ship spreads
the same amount of canvas, which is,
however, carried lower. With less
weight aloft there is less leverage on
the masts, and the ship stands up bet
ter. Fewer yards are required and less
rigging. The low rig is in line with
the common modern endeavor toward
greater economy of operation.

Inhabitants of the Department OF
Linousin Arc Small in Stature.
In Limousin there is barren range
of low hills which lies along the di-
v;ding line between the departments of
Dordogne, Correze and Haute-Vienne,
about halfway between Periguex and
Limoges. The water courses show the
location of these uplands. They ex-
tend over an area about rs miles long
and half as wide, wherein average hui
man misery is most profound. Dense
ignorance prevails. says Appleton's Sci
ence Monthly. There is more illiteracy
than in any other part of France.
The contrast in stature, even with
the low average of all the surrounding
region, Is clearly marked by the dark
tint. There are sporadic bits of equal
diminutiveness elsewhere to the south
and west, but none is so extended or so
extreme. Two-thirds of the men are
below FIVE feet three inches in height
in some of the communes. and the wom-
| en- are three or more inches shorter
than this. One man in ten is below
four feet II inches in stature. This
is not due to race, for several ra-'
cal types are equally stunted
in this way within the same
area. It is primarily due to

tand to unsanitary dwellings in the
deep. narrow and damp valleys. Still
further proof may be found to show
that these people are not stunted by
any hereditary influence. for it has
been shown that children born here,
but who migrate and grow up else
where. are normal in height, while those
born elsewhere. but who are subject to
this environment during the growing
gperiod Of youth. are proportionately

the peculiar distinction of having an
open rope drive, feature which has at

New York Sun.
The face of the driving wheel is about
nine feet and is cut in grooves some
four inches from center to center.
The ropes sink into these grooves and
are covered with preparation made
for preserving them, the covering to be
applied say, once year. Cotton is the
material OF which these ropes are made.
and. although they have been run
steadily for more than a year. no
trouble has been thus far experienced.

nearly noiseless one that has ever been

pressed in favor of this arrangement
is that in damp weather the drive acts

Playing Havoc With the Dayton Water
Pipes.
DAYTON, OHIO, November 16 -Elec-
trolosis, the insidious electric disease
that attacks, corrodes and destroys
water pipes, lead and iron, is getting
in its destructive work on the under
ground water pipes in this city to an
extent that has caused the Board of
Waterworks Trustees to sound the
alarm and ask that such legislation be
had as NAV serve to protect and save
the plant from the deadly influence OF
the fugitive electric currents. The
pipes that lie along and underneath
the rails and tracks of the trolley sys'
TENS are first attacked. Then the
electric microbe, like that which in
tests the human being, spreads along
the line of pipe. 1t is probable thai
some radical legislation will be enact
ed, else the entire waterworks pipe
plant may be destroyed by the silent
but powerful agent that slowly bu'
continuously eats into lead and iron.
